“is subject to" vs "is subjected to"? It seems both forms are possible and have similar meanings, so I am really confused when I should use the one or another. For example, in sentence "Artificially produced products are subject/subjected to natural wear and tear", which one is correct and why?

I'll get the job subject to the contracts being signed on time. Before I hear about the job, I'll be subjected to the awful feeling of not being sure if the job is mine or not. Subject to = conditionally Subjected to = made to suffer "I was subjected to listening to her mother singing again"
