Governing Law

California Proposition 65
California Proposition 65 (“Prop 65”) mandates notices and or warning labels ("Warning Labels") for consumer products sold in California that contain certain chemicals. Majestic Steel has determined that some of the Material it offers for sale may contain such chemicals (“Prop 65 Material”). A Prop 65 warning is contained on Majestic Steel’s packing list (the “Packing List”) for all Material, although some Material is not covered by Prop 65. In order that Majestic Steel and Buyer may be in compliance with Prop 65, Buyer represents, warrants and covenants:
- Buyer acknowledges that it will ensure that it and its non-retail customers fully comply with Prop 65.
- Buyer shall not sell (whether directly or via Internet) Prop 65 Material on a retail-basis in California without providing advance notice to Majestic, obtaining Warning Labels, and affixing Warning Labels on all Prop 65 Material before it is sold in California.
- Upon notice from Buyer that Buyer is selling or intends to sell Prop 65 Material on a retail-basis in California, Majestic Steel will provide Warning Labels to Buyer.
- Buyer will immediately notify Majestic Steel if it subsequently determines that Majestic Steel-supplied Prop 65 Material was previously sold on a retail-basis in California.
- Buyer will not directly or indirectly sell in California, or place in commerce for sale in California on a retail-basis, Prop 65 Material if the attached Warning Labels have been removed, tampered with or obscured in any way.
- Buyer will immediately notify Majestic Steel (via email to: qualityassurance@majesticsteel.com) if it receives a notice that it is accused of selling any Material in violation of Prop 65. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Majestic Steel does not have a legal duty to respond to the notice.
- Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Majestic Steel for all damages, costs and penalties, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, for any violation of the terms of this Section 13, and/or any action brought by Majestic Steel relating to Buyer’s actions or omissions under this Section 13.
