Vendor shall proceed to complete this order during the period that any such potential adjustment is under consideration or discussion.
7. INSPECTION.

Title to any rejected Item shall remain with, and title to any Item for which Purchaser has revoked acceptance shall revert to, Vendor, and Vendor shall bear all responsibility and risk of loss for such Item(s) as well as any related liabilities including, but not limited to, any liability for disposal. Any such rejected Item or Item for which Purchaser has revoked acceptance will beheld pending Vendor's instruction and, if Vendor requests, will be returned to Vendor at Vendor's expense.

Vendor shall be responsible for, and Purchaser may charge back to Vendor, all out-of-pocket inspection costs incurred by Purchaser in inspecting any Items which are rejected or not accepted.

Vendor further warrants that it will have good title to the Items, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and will transfer such title to Purchaser. All Vendor warranties set forth in this Section or in any other part of this order or which are implied by law shall survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance or payment by Purchaser.

In all other cases, Vendor shall have the right to reasonable compensation for work reasonably performed and materials reasonably purchased subsequent to the date of this order for the purpose of meeting the requirements of this order up to the date of such termination by Purchaser or, in the case of delay, for reasonable handling and storage charges. All claims for compensation under this Section shall be made by Vendor to Purchaser in writing within 30 days after Purchaser notifies Vendor of the termination or delay, as the case may be. In no event shall Purchaser be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage relating to the delay or termination of this order for any reason.
