As used herein, “authentic” means (i) genuine, (ii) from the legitimate source claimed or implied by the marking and design of the Part offered, and (c) manufactured by, or at the behest and to the standards of, the manufacturer that has lawfully applied its name and trademark for that model/version of the Part.

Seller shall provide copies of such documentation for its system for Buyer’s inspection upon Buyer’s request. Seller’s system shall be consistent with applicable industry standards including, as a minimum, AS5553 for the detection and avoidance of Counterfeit Parts and Suspect Counterfeit Parts, including policies and procedures for training personnel, designing and maintaining systems to mitigate risks associated with parts obsolescence, making sourcing decisions, prioritizing mission critical and sensitive components, ensuring traceability of Parts, developing lists of trusted and non-trusted suppliers, flowing down requirements to subcontractors and suppliers, inspecting and testing parts, reporting and quarantining Counterfeit Parts and Suspect Counterfeit Parts, and taking corrective action.
(d) Acceptance of Buyer’s Order constitutes confirmation by Seller that it is the OEM, OCM, or a franchised or authorized distributor of the OEM/OCM for the Goods procured under Buyer’s Order. Seller further warrants that OEM/OCM acquisition documentation that authenticates traceability of the Parts is available upon request.
(e) Seller shall flow the requirements of this Section to its subcontractors and suppliers at any tier for the performance of Buyer’s Order.
(f) Should Seller become aware of a confirmed or suspect Counterfeit Part that, by any means, has been delivered to Buyer, or acquired for Buyer’s Order whether or not delivered to Buyer, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as soon as possible but not later than five (5) days of such discovery. Seller shall verify receipt of this notification by Buyer. This requirement shall survive expiration or completion of Buyer’s Order.
(g) Seller shall be liable for cost of Counterfeit Parts and Suspect Counterfeit Parts and the cost of rework or corrective action that may be required by Buyer to remedy the use or inclusion of such Parts.
