-
1. ORDERS: All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller in
accordance
with these Terms and Conditions. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled without
Seller's written consent. All orders must include delivery dates, quantities and
complete description of the goods requested for purchase. Seller may in its sole
discretion allocate products to its customers. Seller may designate certain products
as
"non-cancelable" and/or "non-returnable" (NCNR) and the sale of such products can be
subject to special terms and conditions stated on the invoice or such notice to
Buyer.
- 2. PRICES: Unit pricing for all products and services ordered by Buyer are
specified on
each invoice. Price quotations, unless otherwise stated, shall automatically expire
five
(5) calendar days from the date issued and may be canceled or amended within that
period
upon notice to Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all prices
quoted
are exclusive of transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including
federal, state and local sales, excise and value added taxes, and similar taxes.
Buyer
agrees to pay these taxes unless Buyer has provided Seller with an exemption resale
certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction of Buyer's place of
business
and any jurisdiction to which the purchased goods are to be directly shipped
hereunder,
or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify
and
hold harmless Seller for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well
as
the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon.
When
applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Seller's
invoice.
- 3. PAYMENT TERMS: Buyer shall, without set off, pay Seller in full in U.S.
Dollars with
terms that are agreed to both parties from date of invoice. Shipments shall be made
upon
credit approval and the condition that the Buyer account remains in good standing
with
Seller. Seller may invoice each shipment separately and each shipment can be
considered
a separate and individual contract. Buyer agrees to pay such invoice pursuant to its
terms without the benefit of setoff or deduction.
- 4. INTEREST/LATE FEES: Interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1
1/2%)
per
month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be imposed on
all
outstanding balances. Late charges not to exceed $100.00 per month shall also apply.
- 5. MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT/CREDIT TERMS: Seller reserves the right to
establish
and/or
change credit and payment terms extended to Buyer when, in Seller's sole opinion,
Buyer's financial condition or previous payment record warrants that action.
Further, on
delinquent accounts, Seller shall not be obligated to continue performance under any
agreement with Buyer.
- 6. REJECTION OF ADDITIONAL OR INCONSISTENT TERMS: Any additional or
inconsistent
terms
contained in a purchase order or other document are specifically rejected. These
Terms
and Conditions take precedence over Buyer's additional or different terms and
conditions
to which notice of objection is hereby given. Neither Seller's commencement of
performance nor delivery shall be deemed or constituted as acceptance of Buyer's
additional or different terms and conditions. Buyer's acceptance of the products
and/or
services shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the Terms and Conditions
contained
herein.
- 7. SECURITY INTEREST: Seller retains a security interest in all products
delivered to
Buyer, and in such related accessories, replacements, accessions, proceeds and
goods,
including accounts receivable (collectively, the "Collateral") to secure payment of
all
amounts due under these Terms and Conditions. If Buyer fails to pay any amount when
due,
Seller shall have the right to repossess and remove all or any part of the
Collateral
from Buyer. Any repossession or removal shall be without prejudice to any other
remedy
of Seller hereunder, at law or in equity. Buyer agrees, from time to time, to take
any
act and execute and deliver any document (including, without limitation, financing
statements) reasonably requested by Seller to transfer, create, perfect, preserve,
protect and enforce this security interest.
- 8. DELIVERY: Delivery will be deemed complete and risk of loss or damage to
any
product
will pass to Buyer upon incoterm to the carrier. Buyer acknowledges that delivery
dates
provided by Seller are estimates only and Seller shall not be liable for delays in
delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of
Seller
nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of Seller. In the event of delay caused by
such
event, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as
a
consequence of the delay in delivery without subjecting Seller to any liability or
penalty.
- 9. ACCEPTANCE/RETURNS: Shipments will be deemed to have been accepted by
Buyer
upon
receipt of the said shipments at Buyer's facility. Buyer shall perform whatsoever
inspection or tests Buyer deems necessary as promptly as possible but in no event
later
than five (5) days after delivery, at which time Buyer must either accept or reject
the
products by providing written notice to Seller. Any discrepancy in shipment quantity
must be reported in writing within five (5) working days of receipt of the products.
In
the event of an over shipment, Buyer shall have the option to return the products to
Seller at Seller's expense or alternatively, Buyer may elect to retain the products
