LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
PPG’s Performance of Services. If you are a Commercial Customer, Commercial Customer will hold harmless, defend and indemnify PPG, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors or representatives from and against any and all claims, including bodily injury, death, or damage to personal property, and all other losses, liabilities, obligations, demands, actions and expenses, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, incurred by PPG or its designated agents related to the performance of Services for Commercial Customer (including without limitation, settlement costs, legal fees, and any and all other expenses for defending any actions or threatened actions) arising out of, in whole or in part, any act or omission of Customer, its employees, agents, subcontractors or representatives.
PPG and Customer are independent contractors and not principal and agent. Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed to create a franchise, partnership, dealership, reseller, agency, employment or joint venture relationship. Customer will not have the right to bind or otherwise obligate PPG in any manner, nor will Customer represent to anyone that it has the right to do so.
As a condition of, and in consideration of PPG accepting any order pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, all Commercial Customers (whether in the GCC region or otherwise) purchasing for export, or for resale within the GCC region acknowledge and accept the applicability of these Terms and Conditions. Absent a specific contrary written agreement, all Commercial Customers further agree that by PPG accepting any order that no agency, franchise, dealer or other similar commercial relationship is established. All orders shall thus be individual trade orders.
Events Outside Our Control. PPG shall not be liable for any delay in, or impairment of, performance resulting in whole or in part from any event outside our control, including but not limited to, acts of God, labour disruptions, acts of war, acts of terrorism (whether actual or threatened), epidemics, shortages, communication or power failures, fire, accident, explosion, inability to procure or ship product or obtain permits and licenses, inability to procure supplies or raw materials, severe weather conditions, catastrophic events, or any other circumstance or cause beyond the reasonable control of PPG in the conduct of its business. If PPG’s supply is delayed by an event outside our control, PPG will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and PPG will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. PPG shall not be liable for any such failure or delay in manufacture or delivery of Product and/or the provision of Services as a result of any such matter or occurrence wholly or partially beyond its control. In the event of shortage, PPG may allocate sales and deliveries in its sole discretion.
Other Liability Conditions; Indemnification; Disclaimer. If you are a Commercial Customer, Commercial Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless PPG, its successors, assigns, affiliates, agents and contractors, and the officers, managers, directors and employees of each of them (each a “PPG Indemnified Party”), from and against any damage, loss, claim, judgment or other liability or expense (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees) that may in any way relate to or arise
out of any act or omission in connection with (i) Commercial Customer’s use of this Website and,
(ii) except to the extent caused by PPG, the purchase, resale, use or misuse of
Product by Commercial Customer, any third party or Customer’s successors, assigns, affiliates, agents and contractors, or the officers, managers, directors or employees of any of them. PPG reserves the
right, without being required to do so, and without waiver of any indemnity hereunder, to defend any claim, action or lawsuit coming within the scope of this indemnity provision.
PPG will not be liable for personal injury or property damage arising out of (i) the Customer’s neglect, alteration or improper use, including failure to follow installation, operating and maintenance conditions prescribed in the Product’s installation manual; (ii) repairs performed by anyone other than authorised PPG service representatives; or (iii) use of supplies or parts that do not meet PPG’s specifications. If you are a Commercial Customer, Commercial Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each PPG Indemnified Party against any damage, loss, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses, legal fees arising out of any or all of (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding sentence.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or from any fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation nor any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
If we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable or not our fault. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious
that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the process.
We are not liable for loss or damage that results from our failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions that fall into the following categories (whether direct or indirect):
