Seller will pay, and be responsible for, the entire cost of such premium shipment, unless Buyer's actions caused Seller to fail to meet Buyer's delivery schedules, in which case Buyer will pay any costs for premium shipment.

3. SPECIFICATION, DESIGN AND SCOPE CHANGES

Buyer may at any time require Seller to implement changes to the specifications or design of the goods or to the scope of any services or work covered by this Contract, including work related to inspection, testing or quality control.

Seller will bear all risk of loss with respect to all non-conforming goods and will promptly pay or reimburse all costs incurred by Buyer to return, store or dispose of any non-conforming goods.
