comparable thermal printer that competes with VENDOR's Product.
8.3 VENDOR Outside Requirements. VENDOR agrees that it shall advise its
distributors outside the U.S. of the covenants and responsibilities set forth in
this Agreement.
9. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY REQUIREMENTS
9.1 Quality and Reliability Requirements. GTECH requires that the
VENDOR have in place at its manufacturing facility, adequate quality and
reliability safeguards to ensure that all Products shipped to GTECH meet or
exceed all parameters specified in the Product Specification, and that the
Product is not subject to any infant mortality.
9.2 Reliability Plan. The VENDOR will submit to GTECH Quality Assurance
("QA") a reliability test plan for the Products, which will include the VENDOR's
reliability requirements based on the Products Specification and test schedule.
GTECH QA will review the reliability plan for the Product, provide comments and
approve the plan when satisfied that all design requirements will be adequately
tested.
9.3 Reliability Test. The VENDOR will conduct a reliability test on the
Products to ensure that the Products meet or exceed all parameters specified in
the Product Specification. GTECH may participate and/or monitor the VENDOR's
reliability test on the Product at the VENDOR's facility.
9.4 Reliability Test Report. The VENDOR will submit to GTECH QA a
formal reliability test report for the Products based on the results of the
Product reliability test. The reliability test report will contain all data
necessary to verify and confirm that the Products meet all the design
requirements identified in the Product Specification and any resultant design
changes and corrective action to resolve any test failures. GTECH QA must
approve the VENDOR's reliability test report before the VENDOR can be approved
to ship Products to GTECH.
9.5 Vendor Survey. The VENDOR will allow GTECH to perform a vendor
survey at the VENDOR'S facility. This survey will include, but is not limited
to, an audit of the manufacturing process, reviewing the yields at each
inspection and test point in the manufacturing process, review of the on-going
reliability test data, Product design changes, corrective action, and field
reliability performance and repair data.
9.6 Test Equipment and Procedure Correlation. The test equipment and
procedures used in the VENDOR's final inspection and test, will correlate with
the test
10
equipment and procedures used by GTECH. If correlation is not achieved within 30
calendar days prior to the first production shipment, the VENDOR agrees to
obtain additional test equipment and/or develop procedures that are capable of
correlation. Said test equipment and procedures will be mutually agreed upon by
both the VENDOR and GTECH Purchasing, QA and Test Engineering.
9.7 Final Test and Inspection Data. The VENDOR will provide GTECH with
inspection and/or test data based on the mutually agreed upon test equipment and
procedures with each lot of Products delivered to GTECH. The VENDOR will make
final test and inspection data (yield information), on-going reliability test
data, field reliability performance data, and repair data available at the
request of GTECH throughout the life of the Products.
9.8 Source Inspection. The VENDOR will allow GTECH (or its
representatives) to perform source inspection at their facility, using mutually
agreed upon test equipment and procedures. It is GTECH's plan to source inspect
the initial lots of Products scheduled for shipment from VENDOR's manufacturing
facility to GTECH production or field sites. To do this in a timely fashion, the
VENDOR will notify GTECH (or its representative) that source inspection is
available at least one week prior to the requested source inspection date.
Source inspection activity will continue, at the discretion of GTECH QA.
9.9 Receiving Inspection. GTECH plans to conduct receiving inspection
and test on all OEM components. GTECH will 100% inspect and test the first seven
(7) consecutive lots of VENDOR Products for visual, mechanical, electrical and
other types of compliance as specified. After the initial seven (7) lots have
been qualified, GTECH plans to conduct receiving inspection using MIL-STD-105E,
General Inspection Level I, with an AQL of 1.0 for normal sampling inspection.
If Product performance fails to meet this level of compliance at receiving
inspection, GTECH may (a) recover all costs associated with continued
unacceptable quality by taking a credit against the purchase price of the
Products or (b) allow VENDOR the option of providing timely resources on-site at
GTECH to correct the unacceptable quality condition. These costs are typically
related to sorting, testing, packaging, handling, freight and source inspection
expenses in support of receiving and in-process inspection and test.
9.10 Field Reliability Reporting. The VENDOR agrees to supply GTECH QA
with field reliability performance data for the Products purchased by GTECH. The
field reliability data is to be structured in the following manner (or
equivalent) and made available on electronic mail:
VENDOR FAILURE ANALYSIS SPREADSHEET
PRODUCT DATE RETURN RETURN INITIAL DATE REPAIR CORRECTIVE RMA SHIP
SER. NO. RECV'D SOURCE REASON FINDINGS ANALYZED PERFORMED ROOT CAUSE ACTION TAKEN NO. DATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11
9.11 Failure Analysis and Corrective Actions. The VENDOR agrees to
supply, within 15 calendar days, written notice of non-conformance, written
failure analysis and corrective actions for any in warranty devices failing to
meet any and all form, fit, function, quality or reliability requirements called
out in the Products Specification.
9.12 GTECH's Rights with Respect to Non-Conforming Goods. The testing
procedures available to GTECH are discretionary and not mandatory. In the event
GTECH chooses not to perform any or some portion of such testing, or such
testing would not reasonably reveal a non-conformance in the Products, GTECH
reserves its right under the Uniform Commercial Code to reject any shipment of
Products and to purchase similar Products and be immediately reimbursed by the
VENDOR for the difference between the cost of such Products and the VENDOR's
Products.
9.13 Failures of consequence. If GTECH's customers world-wide
experience excessively high failure rates (> or equal to 20% annualized) during
the warranty period in any given jurisdiction that is determined by both parties
to be VENDOR's responsibility, GTECH may recover all costs associated with this
unacceptable Product performance by taking credit against the purchase price of
the Product or VENDOR can, at its discretion assume all costs directly by
providing required support services to repair, upgrade or replace defective
Product in a timely manner to GTECH satisfaction. These additional costs are
typically related to screening, sorting, testing, packaging, handling by a third
party and airfreight to expedite any of these activities.
10. INSURANCE
10.1 Vendor Insurance Coverage. VENDOR shall purchase and maintain
throughout the life of this Agreement, such insurance as will protect it and
GTECH from claims set forth below which may arise out of or result from the
VENDOR's operations under this Agreement whether such operations be by it or by
any subcontractor or by anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable. VENDOR
shall cause GTECH to be additional insured under all coverages except Workers'
Compensation. Appropriate endorsements will be attached to state that the
VENDOR's policy will be primary to any other policies that may be in effect.

from the date of this Agreement. Notification to GTECH will occur within thirty
(30) calendar days of any cancellation or material change in coverage. In the
event of a failure to furnish such proof or the cancellation or material change
of such insurance, without prejudice to any other remedy GTECH may have, GTECH
may terminate this Agreement, or at its option, charge the cost of required
insurance to the VENDOR. Coverage will be in effect with insurance carriers
licensed to do business in any state that the VENDOR will perform its services
and will be rated no less than A by the AM Best Company. All Certificates of
Insurance are to be forwarded to: GTECH Corporation, 00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000. ATTN: Risk Management Department.
10.4 *
11. INDEMNITY
In addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnifications,
warranties and covenants set forth herein, VENDOR hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold GTECH harmless with respect to any and all costs, expenses and liability,
including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of any
claim or action based on a failure of the Products or Services to meet the
specifications set forth herein, or the failure of the VENDOR to meet any of its
obligations hereunder.
