3.         Inspection

All goods and services purchased hereunder are subject to inspection by Forcepoint at all reasonable times and places notwithstanding the terms of payment, and in any event, prior to final acceptance.  No inspection made prior to final acceptance will relieve Seller from responsibility for failure to meet the requirements of this PO.  In the event the goods or services do not meet the applicable specifications and instructions, Seller will promptly re-perform the nonconforming services or provide replacement goods satisfactory to Forcepoint at Seller's sole expense.  If Seller is unable to accomplish the foregoing, Forcepoint may procure such goods or services from another source and charge to Seller's account all costs, expenses and damages associated therewith.

5.         Changes

Forcepoint may, by written notice to Seller make changes to any one or more of the following:  (a) specifications for services or goods, (b) quantity, and (c) place and/or time of performance.  For any reason, Forcepoint may also direct Seller to suspend in whole or in part the provision of goods or the performance of services hereunder permanently or for such period of time as may be determined by Forcepoint to be necessary or desirable.  If any such change or suspension causes an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of services or provision of goods hereunder, an adjustment may be made in the price or delivery schedule, or both, and the PO will be modified in accordance with Section 22.  Any claim for adjustment by Seller will be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within ten (10) days from receipt by Seller of the notice of change.
