Supplier shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to the collection and remittance of any taxes and Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CLEANTEK/Apollo from and against all claims, costs, penalties and interest which may be assessed against CLEANTEK/Apollo in respect thereof.

CLEANTEK/Apollo shall not be liable for any cost to Supplier as a result of withholding as specified herein. CLEANTEK/Apollo reserves the right to audit Invoices against Supplier’s reports and to perform independent verification. In the event that any amount is due to CLEANTEK/Apollo by Supplier, CLEANTEK/Apollo shall have the right of set-off against Supplier for such amount, whether such amount arises pursuant to the PO or any other contract between CLEANTEK/Apollo and Supplier.

16. Compliance: Supplier has obtained, or shall obtain in a timely manner, and maintain, at its sole cost, all permits, licences, approvals, consents, and other authorizations under all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, orders, codes and standards (including health and safety) of any federal, provincial, state, or municipal authority having jurisdiction necessary in connection with the supply and performance of the Goods and Services.

The receiving party shall protect the Confidential Information from disclosure to third parties using the same degree of care that it uses for its own most confidential information; provided, however, that Supplier may disclose Confidential Information to Supplier’s employees, subcontractors and consultants participating in the supply and/or performance of the Goods and Services who have a need to know such Confidential Information to perform such work and who have been informed of and agree to observe the terms of this Agreement relating to Confidential Information. Supplier shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 18 by any of its employees, subcontractors or consultants. Neither CLEANTEK/Apollo nor Supplier shall use the other party’s Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever except for the supply and/or performance of the Goods and Services.
    Supplier shall not use CLEANTEK/Apollo’s name for the purposes of advertising, press releases, promotion or solicitation without the prior written consent of CLEANTEK/Apollo.
19. Survival: The obligations of Supplier which by their nature are intended to survive the satisfactory completion of the supply/performance of the Goods and Services or termination of this Agreement shall survive notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
20. General: To the extent that any portion of this Agreement is found to be wholly or partially unenforceable, such portion shall be severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the enforceability of the balance of this Agreement. No delay or omission by CLEANTEK/Apollo in exercising any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or prejudice the right of CLEANTEK/Apollo to enforce such right or remedy at any subsequent time. Supplier is an independent contractor and nothing herein shall be construed to constitute Supplier, or its sub-contractors or subsuppliers, as an employee, agent, representative, partner or joint venturer of CLEANTEK/Apollo. Nothing herein shall be construed to create an exclusivity in favour of Supplier unless expressly set out in the PO. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between CLEANTEK/Apollo and Supplier and take precedence over any other understandings or communications, oral or written, with respect to the Goods and Services, including, without limitation, any Supplier terms and conditions or any other terms and conditions contained in any Supplier PO; provided, however, that if a master agreement exists between CLEANTEK/Apollo and Supplier to govern the supply of the Goods and Services identified in any such PO, the terms and conditions of such master agreement shall prevail and apply to such Goods and Services. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Supplier acknowledges that these Terms and Conditions may be updated by CLEANTEK/Apollo from time to time without notice to Supplier and Supplier agrees to review them regularly.
