(b) Seller represents and warrants that only new and authentic materials are used in goods required to be delivered to Buyer under any Order and that the goods delivered contain no Counterfeit Parts. No other material, part, or component other than a new and authentic part is to be used unless approved in advance in writing by Buyer. To further mitigate the possibility of the inadvertent use of Counterfeit Parts, Seller shall only purchase authentic parts/components directly from the original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")/OCMs of such goods or through the OEM's/OCM's authorized distribution chain. Seller must make available to Buyer, at Buyer’s request, OEM/OCM documentation that authenticates traceability of the components to that applicable OEM/OCM. Purchase of parts/components from Independent Distributors is not authorized unless first approved in writing by the Buyer. Seller must present complete and compelling support for its request and include in its request all actions to ensure the parts/components thus procured are legitimate parts.
