1. Excuse of Performance

a) Hyperion's performance may be suspended without liability in the event of: act of God, war, terrorist attack, riot, fire, explosion, accident, flood, sabotage, pandemic, epidemic, lack of adequate fuel, power, raw materials, labor, containers, or transportation facilities; compliance with governmental requests, laws, regulations, orders, or actions; breakage or failure of machinery or apparatus; national defense requirements; supply chain disruptions; tariff impositions; manufacturing partner delays; or any other event beyond Hyperion's reasonable control that makes performance impracticable. In such event, Hyperion shall not be deemed in breach and shall not be liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained by Buyer arising from such prevention or delay.

b) If Hyperion determines that its ability to supply the total demand for Goods is hindered, limited, or made impracticable, Hyperion may allocate its available supply among its customers on such basis as Hyperion determines, without obligation to acquire additional supply and without liability for any resulting failure of performance.

c) The quantity of Goods shipped in any given period may be subject to limitation based on manufacturer supply, production capacity, or fulfillment partner constraints. Hyperion will use all commercially reasonable efforts to meet the agreed shipment schedule and maintain delivery cadence as set forth in the applicable Order. In the event of any supply-driven adjustment to shipment quantities, Hyperion will promptly notify Buyer and work in good faith to minimize any impact to Buyer's project timeline.


2. Shipments and Delivery

No Order shall be binding upon Hyperion unless Hyperion has accepted the Order in writing, which may be done via confirmation email. Once accepted by Hyperion, the Order shall be non-cancelable by Buyer. Any shipment or delivery date provided in an Order or otherwise is an estimate only. Hyperion shall use reasonable efforts to meet such dates but does not guarantee delivery on any specific date.


3. Limited Warranty

a) Product Warranty Period. Hyperion warrants that all Goods delivered shall be free from material defects in design, materials, and workmanship for the applicable warranty period. The warranty period is the shorter of: (i) twelve (12) months or 8,000 operating hours from the date of commissioning; or (ii) eighteen (18) months from the date of the Ready to Ship notification provided by Hyperion to the initial Buyer, whichever occurs first. For spare parts and other products excluding wear and tear components and consumables, the warranty period is twelve (12) months from the earlier of the date of delivery or the date of the Ready to Ship notification. This warranty is transferable and applies to the initial and each subsequent owner of the warranted product.

b) Services Warranty. Where Hyperion provides installation, commissioning, maintenance, or repair services ("Services"), Hyperion warrants for a period of ninety (90) days from completion of such Services that they were performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards. The Services warranty is not transferable and applies only to the party with whom Hyperion directly contracted.

c) Warranty Notice Requirement. Buyer must provide written notice of any defect or breach to Hyperion within ten (10) days of the date Buyer first discovers or should have discovered the defect, and in any event before the expiration of the applicable warranty period. Failure to provide timely written notice shall void all warranty claims related to such defect.

d) Warranty Remedy. In the event of a valid warranty claim, Hyperion shall, in its sole discretion: (i) repair or replace the defective Goods; (ii) re-perform the defective Services; or (iii) credit or refund the price paid for the specific defective item or service. If requested by Hyperion, Buyer shall return defective Goods to Hyperion at Buyer's own expense. Hyperion reserves the right to use redesigned or reconditioned parts for warranty repairs. Repaired, replaced, or re-performed items shall be warranted for the balance of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days after completion, whichever is longer.

e) Warranty Exclusions — Void Conditions. The warranty shall not apply and shall be immediately void if: (i) damage or defect results from failure to comply with Hyperion's or the applicable manufacturer's technical instructions; (ii) the Goods have been modified, changed, or altered by anyone other than Hyperion or its authorized partners; (iii) the Goods were improperly installed and Hyperion neither provided installation support nor approved the installation; (iv) the Goods were improperly operated, neglected, incorrectly serviced, or used in any manner other than as contemplated by their specifications or manufacturer's guidelines; (v) damage or defect is caused by contaminated fuel, glycol or coolant contamination, fire, flood, wind, lightning, grid interconnection instability, or similar occurrences; or (vi) the Goods are installed or used outside of North America. Buyer is responsible for providing fuel analysis reports upon Hyperion's request. If any warranty claim falls within the above exceptions, the warranty shall be void and Buyer shall reimburse Hyperion for all costs of investigation and remediation at Hyperion's then-current service rate.

f) Wear and Tear Exclusions. Wear and tear components and consumables are excluded from all warranty coverage and are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Wear and tear components include, but are not limited to: compensators, exhaust components, single-use screws, washers, fasteners, gaskets, o-rings, sealing materials, and all electrochemical sensors and rubber components. Consumables include, but are not limited to: filters, fluids, grease, gauges, light bulbs, fuses, and switches. Any costs arising from rigging or labor required to access the system for warranty repairs are also excluded from warranty coverage.

g) THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES STATED HEREIN CONSTITUTE THE ONLY WARRANTIES OF HYPERION AND THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO BUYER FOR BREACH THEREOF. HYPERION EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WEAR AND TEAR COMPONENTS AND CONSUMABLES ARE SOLD AND PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING WHETHER GOODS AND SERVICES ARE SUITABLE FOR BUYER'S INTENDED PURPOSE.

4. Limitation of Liability

a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of each shipment of Goods or delivery of Services, Buyer shall inspect such Goods and/or Services for any damage, defect, or shortage. All claims for any cause whatsoever shall be deemed waived unless made in writing and received by Hyperion within thirty (30) days after Buyer's receipt of the Goods and/or Services. For claims of non-delivery, written notice must be received by Hyperion within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such Goods were to be delivered per the applicable Order. For defects not reasonably discoverable within such thirty (30) day period, any claim shall be made in writing and received by Hyperion within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt, or within thirty (30) days after Buyer learns of the facts giving rise to such claim, whichever occurs first. Failure to provide timely written notice constitutes an absolute and unconditional waiver of such claim.

b) Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions, (i) Hyperion's total liability for any and all losses and damages arising out of any cause whatsoever, whether based in contract, negligence, strict liability, tort, or otherwise, shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the Goods and/or Services giving rise to the claim, and (ii) in no event shall Hyperion be liable for incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, indirect, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost sales, business interruption, data loss, or data center downtime, regardless of whether Hyperion knew or should have known of the possibility of such losses. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not exclude or limit liability for personal injury or death to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

c) If Hyperion furnishes technical or other advice to Buyer, whether or not at Buyer's request, Hyperion shall not be liable for, and Buyer assumes all risk of, such advice and the results thereof.

d) Buyer expressly agrees that the foregoing exclusive and limited remedies are reasonable and do not cause the remedies available to Buyer to fail of their essential purpose.


5. Indemnity

a) Buyer assumes liability for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Hyperion, its officers, employees, agents, and partners from any claims, suits, actions, expenses, costs (including attorneys' fees), damages, and liabilities resulting from or relating to the Goods and/or Services, including personal injury and property damage, arising from Buyer's installation, operation, modification, or use of the delivered Goods, except to the extent directly caused by Hyperion's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Transportation charges for the return of any Goods shall not be paid or reimbursed by Hyperion unless authorized by Hyperion in writing in advance of such return.

b) Hyperion shall indemnify and defend Buyer from any losses to the extent resulting from a third-party claim that the Goods and/or Services, as delivered by Hyperion without modification, infringe any valid U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret. Hyperion's obligation shall not extend to losses arising from: (i) modifications made by or on behalf of Buyer without Hyperion's written authorization; (ii) incorporation of the Goods into any other product not provided by Hyperion; or (iii) Buyer's use of the Goods in breach of these Terms and Conditions.


6. Freight and Taxes

a) All prices quoted are exclusive of all sales, use, value-added, and similar taxes. All such taxes are the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall provide a valid Sales Tax Exemption Certificate prior to invoicing if applicable. Any increase in freight rates, tariffs, import duties, or governmental charges increasing Hyperion's cost of supply may, at Hyperion's option, be added to the quoted price with prior written notice to Buyer.

b) Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, shipping terms shall be FOB Hyperion's designated fulfillment facility. Risk of loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon delivery of Goods to a carrier for shipment. Title to each unit of Goods shall pass to Buyer only upon receipt by Hyperion of payment in full for that specific unit. Partial payments, down payments, or deposits do not transfer title to any Goods. Hyperion reserves the right to repossess any Goods for which full payment has not been received.


7. Changes and Cancellations

Once an Order has been accepted by Hyperion, Buyer may not change or cancel the Order without Hyperion's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Hyperion's sole discretion. Any approved change that reduces quantity or materially alters the Goods or Services shall not relieve Buyer of responsibility for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Hyperion due to such change. Cancellation charges may apply as set forth in the applicable Order.


8. Payment Terms

Payment is due as set forth in the applicable Order. Unless otherwise specified, payment is due net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. In the event payments are not received when due, Hyperion may: (a) charge interest on unpaid amounts at a rate of 1.5% per month from the due date until paid; and (b) suspend performance and future shipments until payment including interest is made in full. Buyer shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Hyperion shall retain title to and remain the legal owner of all Goods until paid in full.


9. Packing and Storage

Packing shall be in accordance with Hyperion's or its fulfillment partner's standard schedules and instructions in effect at the time of shipment. If Buyer delays shipment of Goods ready for dispatch for more than thirty (30) days beyond the acknowledged shipment date for any reason within Buyer's control, Buyer shall pay a storage charge equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the price of such Goods per month or portion thereof beyond such thirty (30) day period. After sixty (60) days, Buyer will be invoiced for all Goods remaining in storage. At the end of one hundred eighty (180) days, any Goods remaining in storage shall be shipped to the destination specified by Buyer. If no destination is specified, Hyperion may at its sole discretion cancel all subsequent deliveries under the applicable Order and treat such Goods as abandoned, without restricting or waiving any other remedies available to Hyperion at law or in equity.


10. Assignment

Buyer shall not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Order or these Terms and Conditions without Hyperion's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Hyperion's absolute discretion. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect.


11. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property, including but not limited to inventions, concepts, techniques, processes, improvements, discoveries, and ideas, whether patentable or not, conceived by Hyperion, its officers, employees, agents, or subcontractors in connection with the Goods and/or Services shall remain the sole property of Hyperion or its applicable partners. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as a transfer or license of any intellectual property rights to Buyer beyond the right to use the delivered Goods for their intended purpose.


12. Anti-Corruption

Buyer shall conduct its business in a legal and ethical manner and shall comply with all applicable laws relating to bribery, money laundering, corruption, and fraudulent business practices, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Buyer agrees it will not directly or indirectly give or receive anything of value that could be perceived as a bribe and will not engage in any interactions that present a risk or perception of corruption with government officials.


13. Governing Law, Venue, and Jury Waiver

These Terms and Conditions and any Order hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without reference to its choice of law provisions. The Convention for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Any suit, action, or proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or any Order shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Ohio, and the parties irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction.
Each party hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury, to the extent permitted by law, of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or any Order, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise. Each party agrees and consents that any such claim shall be decided by a court without a jury.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms and Conditions, together with the applicable Order, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. No conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance shall be binding upon Hyperion or operate to modify these Terms and Conditions unless agreed in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Hyperion. No modification shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by both parties. No waiver of any breach or default shall constitute a continuing waiver of any other breach or default, unless such waiver is expressed in a writing signed by the waiving party. Any suit or action relating to any Order or these Terms and Conditions must be brought no later than one (1) year after the cause of action accrues or be forever barred, except for suits or actions for recovery of Goods or payment for Goods and/or Services. If any provision herein is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Hyperion reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. The version in effect at the time of Order acceptance shall govern that Order.
