3. Inspection
All goods and services purchased hereunder are subject to inspection by Lucent at all reasonable times and places notwithstanding the terms of payment, and in any event, prior to final acceptance.

In the event the goods or services do not meet the applicable specifications and instructions, Seller will promptly re-perform the nonconforming services or provide replacement goods satisfactory to Lucent at Seller's sole expense. If Seller is unable to accomplish the foregoing, Lucent may procure such goods or services from another source and charge to Seller’s account all costs, expenses and damages associated therewith.

Any adjustments in Seller's invoices due to late performance, rejections or other failure to comply with the requirements of this PO may be made by Lucent before payment. Payment does not constitute final acceptance. Lucent may offset against any payment hereunder any amount owed to Lucent by Seller or its affiliates.

Lucent may, by written notice to Seller make changes to any one or more of the following: (a) specifications for services or goods, (b) quantity, and (c) place and/or time of performance. For any reason, Lucent may also direct Seller to suspend in whole or in part the provision of goods or the performance of services hereunder permanently or for such period of time as may be determined by Lucent to be necessary or desirable.

Any claim for adjustment by Seller will be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within ten (10) days from receipt by Seller of the notice of change.
