Reseller agrees not to attach any trademarks, logos or trade designations to the Products, nor to remove or modify any of TPS’ proprietary notices affixed to the Products. Reseller agrees not to affix any Trademarks to products other than the genuine Products.


7.2 Ownership of Trademarks.

If TPS offers special pricing and Reseller submits a purchase order based on such special pricing, Reseller accepts that TPS may condition such special pricing on Reseller’s agreement to resell the Products to specific End Users and at a price that shall not exceed particular prices determined by TPS. No such condition will prohibit Reseller from selling at any price below the prices established by TPS.


8.3 Pricing Irregularities. If TPS determines that Reseller has resold Products purchased with special pricing provided above to any person or entity other than the End User identified by TPS, then TPS may, at TPS’ sole discretion (a) invoice Reseller for the difference between such additional discount and Reseller’s then-current resale discount, and/or (b) audit Reseller’s purchases and relevant records pursuant to this Agreement (“Audit”) and invoice Reseller for all
