About Sensitile®

Sensitile Systems®, LLC (“Sensitile®”) designs and manufactures proprietary products that manipulate light to respond to movement, shadow and color (“Products”). Under the terms of the Sample Transfer Agreement, Sensitile® will produce and ship to the individual or entity identified on Appendix

Contract for the Sale of Goods and Services

These Terms and Conditions, combined with a completed order for Samples (attached hereto as Appendix A) (together, the “Sample Transfer Agreement”), establish the entire contract between Sensitile® and the Customer. This Sample Transfer Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, promises or understandings.

Prohibition Against Counterfeiting

Samples are protected by patent, trademark, and trade secret. Samples are provided solely for use by Sensitile® Customers. Customers (whether a fabricator of technology, end user, architect, designer, manufacturer, or other person/company requesting the Samples) may not use Samples other than for their intended purpose, which is validation of the Products’ fit for its use by the Customer and to determine whether to place an order for Products.

Customer will not attempt to use the Samples to reverse engineer, duplicate, deconstruct, test, examine by machine, or use to design or create material similar to any Products. Samples remain the property of Sensitile®. Sensitile® may request the return of Samples at any time. If the Customer no longer has a need for the Samples, they must be shipped back to Sensitile®. Samples may not be integrated into public displays without Sensitile’s® prior written consent.

Samples may not be left with third parties, including the Customer’s contractors or clients unless such third party placed an order for Products with Sensitile® within 30 days of presentation to them of Sensitile’s® Samples.

Neither Customer or the end user will use the trademarks “Sensitile®,” Sensitile Systems®, “Jali®,” “Volatile®,” “Scintilla®,” “Slant®,” the Sensitile® Logo, or any other Sensitile® trademark to identify any Samples other than the authentic Products manufactured by Sensitile®. No Customer will use any variation of Sensitile® trademarks or trade dress.

Intellectual Property Rights

Sensitile® retains all intellectual property rights in and to all designs, engineering details, specifications, trademarks, knowhow, trade secrets, and data and materials pertaining to all Samples supplied under any order. All copies of any materials supplied by Sensitile® shall remain the property of Sensitile® and shall be used by Customer solely in connection with the specific project to which this order applies and for no other purpose whatsoever without the written permission of an authorized officer of Sensitile®; provided, however that if Samples form a part of a Customer’s non-public presentation, library or finish boards, the Samples will be used solely for project specification. No license is granted to Customer pursuant to the terms of the Sample Transfer Agreement.

Customer Satisfaction

Sensitile’s® Samples are unique, and require specialized knowledge for the proper shipping, handling, installation, use, repair, and care. Customer agrees to read and abide by the terms of the materials sent with any Samples, including Samples information and evaluation instructions (“Product Materials”).

These remedies are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of the delivery of damaged Samples.
