PRIVATE LABEL AND CONTRACT MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT

Nardo's Natural, Inc. — Private Label Department
8028 118th Avenue, Largo, FL 33773

1. Scope of Services & Acceptance of Terms

Manufacturer agrees to produce cosmetic, skincare, and personal care products on behalf of Brand Owner under Brand Owner’s trade name or label. Manufacturer’s role is strictly limited to contract manufacturing and private label services. Manufacturer does not act as the brand owner, distributor, or marketer of the finished products. Brand Owner is solely responsible for marketing, distributing, and selling products under Brand Owner’s brand.

Clients of Nardo’s Natural Private Label do not purchase products bearing the Nardo’s Natural brand or label for resale. Products are provided to Client either (a) unlabeled/blank for Client’s own labeling, or (b) labeled with Client’s own brand, trademarks, and/or artwork, with Manufacturer assisting in that labeling process as part of the Services.

By purchasing products or services from Nardo’s Natural, Inc. (“Nardo’s Natural,” “Company,” “Manufacturer,” “we,” or “us”), the customer (“Customer,” “Client,” or “Brand Owner”) agrees to be legally bound by these Terms & Policies. These terms apply to all purchases, including private label, contract manufacturing, custom manufacturing, stock products, samples, packaging, artwork, and related services.

If Customer does not agree to these terms, Customer must not purchase products or services.

2. Method of Acceptance & Order of Precedence

This Agreement is accepted in one of two equivalent ways, depending on how Client engages with Manufacturer:

• Website Orders: For Clients who purchase samples or private label products directly through NardosNaturalPrivateLabel.com, acceptance occurs by placing an order and checking the required agreement box at checkout, consistent with Section 31 below. No physical or electronic signature is required for these orders.
• Invoiced / Direct Clients: For Clients who engage Manufacturer directly (e.g., custom formulation projects, larger production runs, or clients invoiced outside the Shopify checkout flow), Manufacturer will provide this Agreement, or a substantively equivalent signed agreement, for Client’s signature prior to production. Acceptance occurs upon signature.

If a Client engages with Manufacturer under both methods over time (for example, an initial sample order followed by a signed agreement for a larger production run), the most recently signed written agreement between the parties controls for that specific engagement, and this website version continues to govern any purchases made directly through the site that are not otherwise covered by a signed agreement.

3. Independent Brand Responsibility

Brand Owner is the manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of record for all finished goods sold under Brand Owner’s brand. Brand Owner assumes full responsibility for labeling, marketing claims, advertising, product positioning, product instructions, and consumer use directions. Brand Owner is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including but not limited to FDA, FTC, cosmetic labeling laws, state regulations, international regulations if exported, and California Proposition 65. Manufacturer does not review, approve, or validate Brand Owner’s marketing claims.

4. No Medical or Therapeutic Claims

Brand Owner agrees not to market products manufactured by Manufacturer as drugs, medical treatments, or therapeutic products unless independently tested and approved under applicable regulatory frameworks. Manufacturer shall not be responsible for claims made by Brand Owner relating to disease treatment, medical benefits, drug claims, SPF or sunscreen claims, anti-aging medical claims, or therapeutic claims.

5. Natural Ingredient Variability; Ingredient & Formula Changes

Products containing natural or organic ingredients may vary between batches in color, texture, aroma, viscosity, or appearance. Such variations are normal and shall not be considered defects.

Nardo’s Natural reserves the right to modify, update, or reformulate any product at any time without prior notice. Ingredient listings displayed on this website are for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current formulation. The ingredient declaration on the product label is the definitive and governing version. It is the Brand Owner’s responsibility to review final product labeling prior to sale or distribution.

6. Production Timeline Disclaimer

Production timelines are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Delays may occur due to supply chain issues, raw material shortages, equipment maintenance, labor availability, shipping carrier delays, regulatory inspections, or other events beyond Manufacturer’s control.

7. Payment Terms

All orders require a 50% non-refundable deposit prior to production. The remaining 50% balance is due upon completion of production. Orders will not be shipped or released until the remaining balance is paid in full.

Invoiced balances not paid within the agreed payment window will accrue late payment interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted under Florida law, calculated from the original due date until paid in full. This is in addition to, and does not limit, any other remedy available to Manufacturer under this Agreement.

8. No Returns, Refunds, or Chargebacks

All sales are final. Due to the custom nature of private label manufacturing, no returns, refunds, or cancellations are permitted once production begins. Chargebacks constitute breach of this Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that either may use artificial intelligence-assisted tools (“AI Tools”) in the ordinary course of business, including for formulation research, documentation, or drafting related to the Services. Each party agrees not to input the other party’s confidential or proprietary information into any AI Tool in a manner that would allow that information to be used to train a publicly available or third-party-accessible model, or that grants the AI Tool provider rights to retain or use that information beyond generating the requested output. Where available, each party will use commercially reasonable privacy or data-retention settings to limit third-party access to confidential information processed through an AI Tool in connection with this Agreement.

26. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.

27. No Waiver

28. Notices

Formal notices under this Agreement must be delivered in writing by email to the addresses on file for each party, or by mail to the addresses listed in this Agreement, and are deemed received upon confirmed delivery.

29. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence

This Agreement, together with any signed Statements of Work, invoices, or Exhibits, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements or discussions regarding its subject matter. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and a signed Statement of Work or individually negotiated agreement for a specific project, the signed Statement of Work or individually negotiated agreement controls for that project only.

30. Termination

Either party may terminate the ongoing business relationship established by this Agreement at any time with written notice. Termination does not affect any order already in production, which remains governed by this Agreement through completion, delivery, and final payment. Sections 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Intellectual Property), 15 (Confidentiality), 16 (Non-Solicitation), 17 (Trademark and Publicity), 22 (Statute of Limitations), 23 (Governing Law), and 24 (Arbitration) survive termination.

31. Acceptance of Agreement

Placing an order, paying an invoice, checking the required agreement box at checkout, or accepting delivery of goods from Nardo’s Natural, Inc. constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and all terms contained herein.

34. Manufacturing Tolerance and Volumetric Filling

Manufacturer reserves the right to normal industry manufacturing tolerances including minor fill weight variations, fragrance differences, color differences, and texture variations. Bulk containers are filled and sold by volume rather than weight. Due to ingredient density variations and natural ingredient characteristics, net weight may vary even when containers are filled to the correct volumetric amount.

39. Product Safety Disclaimer

Products may contain natural allergens. Products are for external use only and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

• We offer a wide range of products. Each formula is different and may contain certified organic and/or synthetically produced ingredients. The ingredients, in rare cases, may cause sensitivity in certain individuals. If sensitivity occurs, discontinue use immediately. If you are uncertain about possible sensitivity, always do a patch test before use or consult your healthcare professional.
• Products may contain oils and kinds of butter from natural nuts, seeds, and fruit. If you have any allergies please read the product label carefully. We recommend that people with sensitive skin perform a patch test first to ensure there is no reaction. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Nardo's Natural does not make a claim to cure or prevent any disease or medical problem and is not intended to substitute other therapy or medical advice. Products are not approved by the FDA to treat, cure or prevent any disease. In the case of pregnancy please consult with your health care professional. All products are for external use only.

40. California Proposition 65 Warning

California Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide warnings to California consumers about potential exposure to certain chemicals identified by the State of California as known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Nardo’s Natural, Inc. products are made with natural ingredients, botanical extracts, essential oils, mineral compounds, and raw materials sourced from various suppliers. Some of these materials, packaging components, or manufacturing equipment may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring substances listed under California Proposition 65.

Accordingly, out of an abundance of caution and to ensure compliance with California law, Nardo’s Natural, Inc. provides the following notice:

WARNING: This product may expose you to chemicals including trace amounts of naturally occurring heavy metals such as lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

These substances, if present, exist at extremely low levels and are commonly found in the environment, including in food, water, air, cosmetics, and natural products. Nardo’s Natural, Inc. complies with all applicable federal cosmetic safety regulations and manufacturing standards.

41. Proposition 65 — Small Business Exemption Certification

This section applies when this Agreement is executed via signature for Invoiced / Direct Clients under Section 2. It does not apply to website checkout purchases, which are covered by the blanket warning in Section 40 above.

California’s Proposition 65 includes a statutory exemption for businesses with fewer than ten (10) employees (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25249.11(b)). Because Brand Owner’s own employee count determines whether Brand Owner, as the seller of the finished branded product, is independently subject to Proposition 65 warning requirements, Brand Owner certifies the following on the signed Agreement: that its business currently employs fewer than ten (10) employees and is relying on the Proposition 65 small business exemption with respect to products manufactured by Manufacturer under this Agreement.

Brand Owner agrees to notify Manufacturer in writing within thirty (30) days if Brand Owner’s employee count reaches or exceeds ten (10) employees at any time while Brand Owner continues to sell products manufactured by Manufacturer. Upon such notice, the parties will execute a Proposition 65 Compliance Addendum governing labeling requirements for any affected products.

42. Stability and Shelf Life Disclaimer

Manufacturer does not guarantee shelf life or stability unless formal testing has been conducted. Products may change over time due to environmental or storage conditions.

43. Consumer Complaints and Regulatory Communication

Brand Owner is solely responsible for handling all consumer complaints, adverse event reporting, retailer inquiries, regulatory inquiries, and communications with any regulatory authority relating to products sold under Brand Owner’s label. Manufacturer shall not be responsible for responding directly to consumers, retailers, or regulatory agencies regarding products sold under Brand Owner’s brand.

44. Product Handling and Storage Responsibility

Brand Owner assumes full responsibility for storage, transportation, and handling of products after they leave Manufacturer’s facility. Manufacturer shall not be liable for degradation, separation, contamination, or performance issues resulting from improper storage, transportation, relabeling, repackaging, or handling.
