Any such document featuring an electronic signature ("Signed Documents") shall be deemed to have been signed for all purposes, including the purpose of any law, regulation or rule of law that requires an agreement to be so evidenced.

Any Purchase Order submitted to P&WC through the Website shall be accepted solely upon P&WC's express approval and acceptance of same. Any Purchase Order submitted by P&WC through the Website shall constitute an offer to purchase by P&WC. Acknowledgement, if required of such a Purchase Order, shall be deemed acceptance of same, including any and all terms and conditions contained therein.

CLIENT ADMINISTRATORS AND PASSWORD
P&WC agrees to adopt appropriate security measures to limit access to the Website and the Services to Users identified by the Client Administrator and authorized by P&WC in accordance with this provision.
Users may access the Website only with a valid username, password and any additional form of security that P&WC, at its discretion, may require. Each User must have a unique email address. User alone is responsible for keeping its username and password confidential, and for any and all activity that occurs on this Website under such username and/or password. User agrees to immediately notify P&WC of any unauthorized use of such username and/or password or any other breach of security.
Unless otherwise first notified by the Client Administrator, P&WC assumes that access to the Website by means of a valid username, password, and other identified additional form of security is authorized by the Client Administrator.
If P&WC is unsuccessful in attempts to contact the Client Administrator after a period of ninety (90) days, all Users of the organization that the Client Administrator represents will be denied access to the Website and the Services.
DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
P&WC and its affiliates and suppliers will not under any circumstances be liable to users or any other person for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive and exemplary damages or losses, howsoever caused, arising from, connected with, or relating to the website, the services or this agreement including but not limited to, damages for loss of use, lost profits or lost savings, or resulting from viruses, data corruption, failed messages, transmission errors or problems, links to third-party websites, third-party content, products or services, the use or inability to use this website or the content under any theory of liability (whether on a contractual or extracontractual basis, tort, strict liability or any other theory or law or equity), regardless of any negligence or other fault or wrongdoing or fundamental breach by P&WC or any person for whom P&WC is responsible even if P&WC, its affiliates and suppliers or any of its lawful mandatories or their respective directors, officers or employees have been advised of the possibility of such damages or claim, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
No advice, results, statement or information, whether oral or written, obtained by users from or on behalf of P&WC or through the website shall create any representation or warranty not expressly made herein.
There may be information on the website that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update at any time without liability or prior notice, to the extent permitted by law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply.
INDEMNIFICATION
User hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless P&WC, its subsidiaries, affiliates, vendors, and the employees, directors, officers, agents, representatives, and subcontractors of each of them (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, losses, expenses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, sustained, incurred or paid by the Indemnified Parties, arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection from any activity related to the use of the Website, the Submitted Information or its posting of the Website by User or any other person accessing the Website on behalf of User and any violation of the general terms and conditions of this Agreement. User will assist and co-operate as fully as reasonable required by the Indemnified Parties in the defense of any such claim or demand.
EXPORT COMPLIANCE
Except as specifically authorized by Export Law, goods or Services purchased from P&WC through the Website may not be re-exported, resold, or otherwise disposed of: (1) to any country not approved for re-export as brought to the User's attention by means of a bill of lading, commercial invoice, or any other means; or (2) to any person if the User knows, or has reason to know, that it will result directly or indirectly, in disposition contrary to the obligations made in this Agreement or contrary to the Export Law.

PROHIBITED PARTIES
A prospective or current User that contests his/her status as a restricted or denied party should contact the Client Administrator of the organization that he/she represents. The Client Administrator shall verify the restricted or denied party status and must provide P&WC written certification and request access be granted or reinstated to the Website to any prospective or current User, as the case may be, that was misidentified as a restricted or denied party. P&WC shall further review the certification provided, and inform the prospective or current User of its final decision.
Where a User is an organization, customer or supplier; the employee, agent or representative of User who accesses the Services must be screened in order to determine whether it is identified as a denied party or restricted party pursuant to any embargo, sanction, debarment or denied party designation issued and maintained by the Canadian or United States government and in such cases, such User will be denied access to the Services and Website. The User shall notify P&WC immediately, in writing, of any employee, agent or representative who has access to the Website and Services and who have been debarred or designated as a denied party.
INTERNATIONAL USERS AND JURISDICTION
TERM AND TERMINATION
Termination of the general terms and conditions of this Agreement will automatically result in revocation of User's rights to access the Website. P&WC may temporarily suspend or terminate User's access at any time if, in P&WC's sole discretion, such suspension or termination is reasonably necessary to protect the Website's security or continued effective operation. P&WC may reinstate User's access after P&WC receives assurances from User that the grounds for suspension or termination no longer apply.
If this Agreement or the permission to access or use the Website is terminated by User or by P&WC for any reason, then: (a) this Agreement will nevertheless continue to apply and be binding upon User and any persons User represents, on a solidary basis, regarding the prior access to and use of the Website, and anything connected with, relating to or arising therefrom; and (b) P&WC may continue to use and disclose the personal information of User in accordance with P&WC's Website Privacy Statement, if applicable, as amended from time to time.
