HRC reserves the right to refuse any such request at its sole discretion.
    • (b) In the case that a cancellation or rescheduling authorized pursuant to Condition 6(a), HRC reserves the right to invoice Dispenser for any sum up to the Price for each MedKaz Device (provided that such sum is a fair reflection of HRC's actual loss resulting from the cancellation or rescheduling).
    • (c) Dispenser shall not return any MedKaz Devices for any reason without the prior written authorization of HRC and issuance of a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.
