In order to reject a shipment or Part, the Examiner must give notice of its intent to reject the shipment within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Examiner\u2019s receipt of the shipment. After notice of intent to reject is given, Xometry will cooperate with Partner in determining whether rejection is necessary or justified. If no such notice of intent to reject is timely received, the Examiner shall be deemed to have accepted such Part (\u201cAccepted<\/strong>\u201d). In the event a Part or shipment, wholly or partly, is rejected in accordance with the terms herein, Partner agrees to promptly, on receipt of notice of rejection, use best efforts to provide replacement Parts at Partner\u2019s sole cost and expense, including the cost of shipping the Parts back to Partner for remaking or re-working, shipping the replacement Parts back to the Customer (in both cases expedited shipping may be required at Xometry\u2019s direction and such additional cost shall be paid by Partner).

Xometry may offset any costs to be paid by Partner pursuant to this Section 3.2 against any amounts owed to Partner by Xometry. The testing and examination process shall resume as set forth above, with the Examiner having twenty (20) business day testing period for testing the replaced Parts. If the Examiner determines that the replaced Parts still do not comply with the Specifications, the Examiner may (a) afford Partner the opportunity to repeat the correction and modification as set forth above at Partner\u2019s sole cost and expense, (b) permit Xometry itself to correct the Part(s) (or engage a third party to do so) and deduct the costs and reasonable expenses associated with such correction from the compensation owed to Partner; or (c) cancel the Work Order in which case Xometry will not be responsible for the payment of any compensation, fees, costs or expenses to Partner and where any payments have occurred, the Partner shall promptly refund all such amounts received by it from Xometry.
