Once Natural Sourcing LLC has accepted Customer's order, the order may not be cancelled, modified, or returned for any reason, including but not limited to changes in Customer's formulation needs, commercial plans, regulatory requirements, or market conditions.

Customer expressly acknowledges that Special Order Products are produced or procured specifically for Customer and are not suitable for resale.

3. Lead Times and Specifications

  • Availability of upstream raw materials; and
  • Such raw materials meeting Natural Sourcing LLC's and/or the manufacturer's applicable quality and technical specifications.

Natural Sourcing LLC shall not be responsible for delays resulting from raw materials failing to meet required specifications, nor for delays associated with additional processing, testing, or remediation required to achieve an in-spec product.

4. Production Batches

Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Multiple production or processing batches may be required to manufacture or procure Special Order Products that meet applicable specifications; and

5. Force Majeure (Natural Sourcing LLC Only)

Natural Sourcing LLC shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental actions, pandemics, shortages of raw materials, transportation disruptions, supplier failures, or utility outages ("Force Majeure Event").

In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Natural Sourcing LLC may, at its sole discretion, suspend performance, delay delivery, or cancel all or any portion of a Special Order without liability. Any such cancellation shall not entitle Customer to damages, refunds, or other compensation, except to the extent expressly required by applicable law.

This Force Majeure provision applies solely to Natural Sourcing LLC and does not create any cancellation or termination rights for Customer.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Natural Sourcing LLC's liability for any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be limited to the invoice value of the affected Special Order Products. In no event shall Natural Sourcing LLC be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or lost-profit damages.
