Payments offered by Milestone to the Company under the Program, e.g., rebates and other possible payments if offered and defined under the Program, which are not the Company’s Program Tier discount under the Program, shall not be considered or interpreted as Milestone’s obligation, but an intention of a potential incentive offered by Milestone, at Milestone’s discretion and subject to the Program’s requirements, to recognize the Company’s performance under the Program. Milestone’s payments of incentives are furthermore always subject to the Program requirements, applicable law restrictions and limitations; any regulatory and compliance requirements; export control requirements; any event or restriction, which could in Milestone’s unilateral view include a direct or indirect risk of Milestone breaching or being exposed to a risk of anti-bribery, competition law, or export control requirements; or any matter which may discredit Milestone or devalue the brand names, or impose a business risk, as well as Force Majeure event, cf., Clause 18. If a payment in such event cannot in Milestone’s judgment be executed by Milestone, such payment will either not be awarded or if already awarded will be deemed cancelled at Milestone’s sole discretion without any legal and financial consequences whatsoever for Milestone and for the Company, including without any right for the Company to claim damages, refunds, penalties, or any compensation.

(i) the Product has been in any way modified or altered after delivery by Milestone to the Milestone Distributor or Milestone Partner, as applicable, and the third-party claim would not have arisen but for such modification or alteration; or

(ii) the Product is combined with other hardware, software, or other systems and the third-party claim would not have arisen but for such combination; or

(iii) the Milestone Distributor, Milestone Partner, or End-Users’ use of the Product is in a manner not expressly contemplated by the documentation accompanying the Product and the third-party claim would not have arisen but for such use; or

Milestone is a signatory to the Copenhagen Letter, a technology declaration to aspire to open and honest conversation about the power of technology and how technology should enhance the quality of life. We who shape technology must reflect on how technology affects human needs and behaviors, and how we further the responsible use of technology.
