  1. CONSOLES; AUTHORIZED USE.

2.1 Use of any Console is permitted only by individuals who are: (i) licensed physicians authorized to treat patients, as defined by the applicable state medical review board or the equivalent in the jurisdiction in which the Console is operated (the “Territory”); or (ii) under the supervision of such licensed physicians, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations in the Territory. These individuals are collectively referred to as “authorized users.” Goods may not be used for any processes, procedures, or experiments, or for any other use for which the Console is not intended or cleared for use by the agency or organization having authority over the approval, or clearance and sale, of medical devices within the Territory and as stated in the applicable IFUs.

2.2 Customer is responsible to ensure that all authorized users have the requisite skill required to use the Goods, as defined by the applicable state medical review board or the equivalent in the Territory. Customer will, at all times, ensure that Customer and Customer’s employees, authorized users and agents are and remain in full compliance with all federal, state, and local laws and statutes, including without limitation state medical agencies and certification board requirements, relating to this Agreement, the Goods and their use. Customer will not permit any Console to be used or operated by anyone other than by Customer’s personnel who have been qualified and trained by an employee, agent or representative of Pulse Biosciences. Customer will ensure that authorized users comply with the Company’s Standard Terms and Conditions and all applicable Specifications. Customer shall be fully liable to Pulse Biosciences for any improper or unauthorized use of any Goods.

2.3 Resale of any Console without the Company’s written permission is strictly prohibited. If Customer breaches this re-sale prohibition, the Customer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the then-current list price of a new Console, plus associated costs of collections, as “Liquidated Damages.” The Parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty, and agree that the harm caused by a breach of this re-sale prohibition would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated actual harm that might arise from such a breach.

2.4 Customer acknowledges that proper operation of the Console requires use of supplies specifically engineered to meet the Company’s compatibility, quality and performance standards, and accordingly agrees to only use such supplies, including Electrodes, Handpieces and Tips, if provided by, or expressly authorized by, Pulse Biosciences. Use of products not provided or expressly authorized by Pulse Biosciences with any Console will void all warranties on the Console.

2.5 Consoles provided under this Agreement will be new at the time of shipment unless indicated otherwise; however, Consoles may contain components that have been previously used in other Consoles. Consoles that contain previously used components shall meet or exceed the specifications for newly manufactured Consoles and are covered by the Console Warranty.

  1. PHYSICIAN FINDER AUTHORIZATION.

The Company is hereby authorized, at its sole discretion, to list Customer’s name and contact information on the Company’s website(s), as part of its “FIND A PHYSICIAN” service. Company makes no claims or warranties regarding its FIND A PHYSICIAN service and reserves the right to alter or discontinue this service, change the name of the service, or to remove any listing at its discretion. Customer may elect to withdraw from this service at any time and for any reason by providing written notice to the Company.

  1. PRICING AND TAXES.

Purchase prices are valid only for the item(s) for which such prices are specified. Company reserves the right to modify Cycle Unit fees, if any, upon sixty (60) days’ advance notice. Prices and orders do not include national, state or local excise, sales, use, value added, or other taxes now or hereinafter enacted (“Taxes”). When such Taxes apply and the Company has the legal obligation to collect any such Taxes, then those Taxes will be included in the amount invoiced to Customer. If the Company is required to pay any such Taxes in connection with the sale (at the time of sale or thereafter), then Customer shall reimburse the Company for all amounts paid for such Taxes.

  1. SHIPMENT SCHEDULES.

Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet shipment schedules. However, any shipment date or forecast on any order acceptance is only an estimate of the time required to make shipment. The Company will not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any loss, damages or penalty resulting from delay in delivery of any Goods for any reason, including without limitation, supplier delay, manufacturing delay, carrier interruptions, act of God, labor dispute, shortage of materials, war, insurrection, fire, explosion, acts of terrorism, or earthquake. In any such event, the delivery date will be deemed extended for a period equal to the delay. The Company reserves the right to allocate inventories and production in its sole discretion.

  1. TRANSPORTATION AND RISK OF LOSS.

Unless otherwise agreed, all Goods are shipped on a carriage and insurance paid to (CIP) basis, Named Destination (Incoterms® 2020); prices include the cost of packaging, insurance, and shipping for standard shipment to the Named Destination. For overnight shipping, an expedited handling fee may be added by the Company. In no event will common carriers of Goods be construed to be acting as agents of Pulse Biosciences, and Pulse Biosciences will not be responsible for any delivery delays. The Company reserves the right to make partial deliveries. Title to Goods other than Cycle Units, including risk of loss, passes to Customer upon shipment to the Customer and title to Cycle Units passes to Customer upon payment. “Incoterms® 2020” is a trademark of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). Use of this trademark does not imply association with, approval of or sponsorship by the ICC and the Incoterms rules incorporated herein are protected by copyrights owned by the ICC.

  1. PAYMENT TERMS AND OTHER RIGHTS OF PULSE BIOSCIENCES.

7.1 The Company may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, cancel any Individual Transaction if (a) the Company determines the Customer or Lessor is in violation of any payment obligations under this Agreement or otherwise in material breach of this Agreement, or (b) the Company determines the Customer’s financial condition or creditworthiness is inadequate or unsatisfactory. Upon reasonable request, the Customer will provide the Company with statements evidencing Customer’s and/or Lessor’s financial condition, as applicable. Customer shall promptly notify the Company of any events that may have a material adverse effect on Customer’s business or financial condition. Customer shall have no right to cancel or amend any Individual Transaction.

7.2 Unless otherwise expressly authorized by Pulse Biosciences in writing, payment of the full purchase price of any Goods is due prior to shipment to Customer. Payments for Consoles must be made by credit card, wire transferor, or PayPal or by other means authorized by the Company (e.g., SEPA AA, BACS). Payments for consumables (Electrodes, Handpieces, Cycle Units, etc., “Consumables”) must be made by credit card or PayPal through the designated website portal. All payments must be in the currency indicated in the Company’s posted price list, and made payable to Pulse Biosciences at its principal office in Hayward, California, or such other office as designated in the acceptance of the Purchase Order. Customer agrees to promptly pay all sums when due. Customer further agrees to pay an interest fee at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on any unpaid balance amounts more than thirty (30) days past due. All Customer orders, including Cycle Units, regardless of whether made by phone, e-mail, other electronic means, or Purchase Order will be binding on Customer. In the event of nonpayment, Customer agrees to pay, in addition to the principal amounts due, all collection charges incurred by Pulse Biosciences, including charges made by a collection agent, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs. Customer shall have no right to return Goods after they have been shipped, except for non-conforming Goods still under warranty (see Section 11, below). Pulse Biosciences shall have a right to repossess Consoles, Electrodes, Handpieces, and Tips in the event Customer defaults on its payment obligations hereunder and take all other actions necessary for the Company to realize the full benefit of protections available under applicable laws in the Territory. 

7.3 To the extent Customer uses a third-party leasing company, bank or other lender (each a “Lessor”) to purchase any Goods, the following special terms apply: (i) Customer represents, warrants and agrees that no Financing Agreement purports to obligate or bind the Company in any manner. The Company is not a party to, and is not bound by, any Financing Agreement. (ii) Company shall not execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any recording office any financing statement (UCC-1, etc.) or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of any Goods or listing itself as debtor with respect to all or any part of the Goods. (iii) Company has the right to audit and inspect any actual or proposed Financing Agreements upon request and in accordance with Section 12. (iii) Notwithstanding any Financing Agreement, the Customer is the beneficial owner and user of the Goods. The Customer is responsible for securing and making any payments that are owed to the Company, or alternatively for having such payments made on Customer’s behalf. (iv) Lessor may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by any Goods to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lessor, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the Company’s Standard Terms and Conditions.

7.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the warranties of Section 11 run to the benefit of the lawful owner of the Goods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon Lessor’s written request, and subject to the Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, Customer and Lessor may assign, sell, or otherwise transfer any Goods, together with the Customer’s rights, obligations, and licenses hereunder and therein, to any third-party purchaser identified by Lessor.

  1. PRODUCT MODIFICATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.

Pulse Biosciences reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements to Consoles, Software, Goods, and other accessories and products without any obligation to include these changes in any Console, Software or other Goods belonging to the Customer. Company reserves the right, at its sole option, to require Customer to accept Console, Electrode, Software, Handpiece, and/or Tip revisions or improvements deemed necessary by the Company. Customer shall make each Console, Electrode, Handpiece, and Tip reasonably available for any modifications or replacements required by the Company.

  1. SOFTWARE LICENSE.

9.1 All Software is licensed, not sold, under a limited, personal, non-transferable (with no right to sublicense), non-exclusive, and fully revocable license to the Customer (the "Software License'') and Customer's right to use the Software under the Software License is solely in connection with the authorized use of the Goods and expressly limited by the terms hereof. The Software License is provided to Customer only to the extent that the Agreement between the Company and Customer has been properly executed, the terms and conditions of which are valid and in effect without any violation or breach by the Customer, and all payments due under this Agreement and any related agreement, if any, have been promptly paid. Customer may use the Software to operate Customer’s Consoles only in machine readable form and only in combination with the Goods with which such Software is provided. No right to use the Software is granted or implied under the Software License except as specifically provided herein and Pulse Biosciences reserves all rights not expressly granted.

9.2 Customer may only use the Software and all Goods in accordance with the Company’s instructions and Specifications, as in effect from time to time, or as otherwise expressly approved by the Company in writing. Customer shall not disclose or provide any Software, or any portion thereof, to any third party. Customer shall not: (i) copy, modify, remove, create derivative works from, tamper with, or otherwise change any Console or any part or component thereof (including without limitation any Software); (ii) except where such restriction is prohibited by law and cannot be waived by Customer, Customer shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive or obtain information about the functioning of any Goods, or the source code of the Software; or (iii) sell, loan, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer use of any Console to any third party who was not properly trained and certified by Pulse Biosciences to use the Console (each of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Act”), and any attempt to do so will render the Software License null and void. Customer shall hold Pulse Biosciences harmless against any liability, loss or expenses, whether direct or indirect, arising out of any Prohibited Act. For purposes hereof, any use or attempted use of the Software and/or the Console to avoid payment of any Cycle Unit fee is considered to be improper tampering and is prohibited. Pulse Biosciences reserves the right to disable any Console if it suspects or detects any Prohibited Acts. Customer agrees to comply with all obligations imposed on Pulse Biosciences by any third party with respect to any third party’s software or hardware that may be incorporated into any Goods.

9.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may resell, loan, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer a Console to a third party if: (i) the third party is a licensed medical practitioner both trained and certified by the Company as having already had, among other things, meaningful experience diagnosing and treating skin lesions using energy-based devices or surgery, (ii) the Console can be lawfully operated within the third party’s jurisdiction, and (iii) the Console is first returned to the Company, at Customer’s expense, so that the Console can be calibrated, tested, and reset to original factory setting and so the Software can be updated by the Company, as it deems appropriate, and provided further that the Company has given its consent to the resale or other transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably preconditioned, delayed or withheld. In the event of an authorized resale or other transfer made in accordance with this Section 9.3, the Company will arrange for shipment, at Customer’s expense, both to the Company and to the Console’s new third party user.

  1. RIGHT TO AUDIT.

Company shall have the right (during reasonable business hours and with at least 48 hour advance notice to Customer) to enter Customer’s premises for the purpose of: Set‐Up, inspecting, upgrading (including Software Upgrades), accessing, repairing, and/or obtaining data from Goods then in Customer’s possession or control; and confirming Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Company may ensure, at its option, that the Cycle Unit fees paid are correct by updating the Software and/or Console to provide for electronic data access or exchange from Pulse Biosciences to the Console with a broadband or other acceptable highspeed internet connection, as specified below. Other methods of ensuring that Cycle Unit fees are paid in accordance with applicable Standard Terms and Conditions may be implemented at Pulse Biosciences' sole option and may include, but are not limited to (i) requesting information from the Customer; (ii) adjusting the number of Cycle Units available on the Customer’s Console(s); or (iii) in person verification by Company personnel. Company may install additional software or equipment to affect monitoring or updating relevant to verifying the count of the Cycle Units. Customer will cooperate with Pulse Biosciences in providing access to the Console and the Software (on reasonable notice as aforesaid) to perform the updating and monitoring described above. The Customer shall not permit anyone other than authorized Company personnel to alter or remove such monitoring software or devices. Failure by Customer to comply with any provision of the Standard Terms and Conditions will entitle Company to injunctive relief to prevent further use of the Software and Console until such breach is cured to Pulse Biosciences' satisfaction. Pulse Biosciences reserves the right to refuse Cycle Units and service to anyone who purchases any Console through a third party.

  1. LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY; EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Each permitted transferee is referred to herein as a “Customer.”

Further, the warranties provided herein are contingent upon Customer’s payment of the purchase price of the Goods and any Extended Warranty Program as well as the proper use of the Console, in accordance with any instructions and Specifications.

  1. INTERNET CONNECTIVITY.

Console(s) have inherent features that may require regular connection to the internet in order to maintain optimal functionality.

Such information may be used from time to time by Pulse Biosciences, for example, for the purpose of monitoring inventory, assuring proper operation and performance of the Console, running diagnostics, recording and correcting errors, verifying proper use of the Console, and as otherwise required by the Company. The downloaded information can include data that identifies Customer, including but not limited to physician name(s) and the address(es) of the practice. However, the downloaded information will be anonymized and exclude patient individually identifiable health information and patient personal data.
