1. ORDERING AND PRICING
1.1 Written quotations are valid for a period of thirty (30) days unless otherwise noted by Company, but represent no obligation until Company accepts Customer’s order. Company will have the right to withdraw any quote that has not been accepted by Customer within the thirty (30) day time period.
1.2 Prices for Equipment and other related information shown in any Company or manufacturer product publication, including but not limited to catalogs, brochures, and websites, are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include related freight charges, use tax, sales tax, excise tax, value-added tax, or similar taxes, or charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any governmental authority unless otherwise expressly noted by Company. Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by Company shall be subject to correction without liability on the part of Company.
1.3 Any document submitted by Customer to Company confirming its intention to purchase Equipment will be deemed to constitute a confirmation and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale and the applicable Order Form, despite any additional or different terms therein. All orders for the sale of Equipment between Company and Customer will be solely under the terms and conditions of the Order Form and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and Company objects to any and all additional or different terms contained in any document submitted to Company by Customer. Any execution by Company of any other document submitted by Customer in connection with the purchase of Equipment does not constitute acceptance of or agreement to any terms and conditions in addition to or different from those contained in the applicable Order Form or these Terms and Conditions of Sale, but will constitute only acknowledgment of receipt of the document. In addition, notwithstanding any terms contained in any documents submitted by Customer in connection with the purchase of Equipment, the acceptance of delivery by Customer of Equipment described in an executed Order Form will constitute a course of conduct constituting Customer’s agreement to the terms and conditions of such Order Form and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, to the exclusion of any additional or different terms.
1.4 Acceptance of an order by Company is in all situations subject to a credit review of Customer by Company. Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require full or partial payment in advance of shipment or commencement of the manufacturing process. Any delay resulting from a credit review may result in a delay in shipping, which delay shall not subject Company to any liability. Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Customer to provide letters of credit satisfactory to Company.
1.5 No order that has been accepted by Company may be changed or cancelled by Customer unless Company agrees to such change or cancellation in writing. If Customer cancels all or any part of an order, Customer shall pay reasonable cancellation charges, the amount of such charges to be determined by Company.

Changes may result in a delay in the scheduled ship date. Additions to orders will be entered as a separate order.
2. ALLOCATION
If sufficient Equipment is not available for any reason, Company may allocate Equipment among its customers. Company will make reasonable efforts to obtain additional Equipment from other sources, provided Customer agrees to pay all additional costs associated with such Equipment. Allocation of Equipment pursuant to this Section shall completely satisfy and discharge Company’s supply obligations and Company shall, therefore, not be deemed to be in breach of such obligations.
3. DELIVERY AND RISK OF LOSS
3.1 Any delivery dates or other schedule of performance by Company are approximations, and the sole obligation of Company with respect to the schedule of delivery or performance will be to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Equipment, or otherwise to perform, consistent with the reasonable demands of its business.

3.2 Title to and risk of loss or damage to the Equipment will pass to Customer and delivery shall be deemed to be complete upon transfer of Equipment (i) to a carrier for shipment at Company’s facility, (ii) to a carrier for shipment at Company’s supplier’s facility when Equipment is shipped directly from the manufacturer, or (iii) as otherwise specifically indicated in the applicable Order Form. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all Equipment is shipped F.O.B. Company’s location or delivered to Customer, at Customer’s expense, using Customer’s own delivery service.

Customer will have three (3) calendar days from the date of delivery to inspect the Equipment for defects and nonconformance and to notify Company, in writing, of any defects, nonconformance, or rejection of the Equipment (other than defects or nonconformities due to damage, shortage, or errors in shipping that will be reported as set forth below). Claims for shipping damage, errors, or shortages must be made in writing to Company no more than five (5) calendar days after receipt of shipment. After this three-day or five-day period, as applicable, Customer will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Equipment, if not previously accepted. After acceptance, Customer will have no right to reject the Equipment for any reason or revoke acceptance. Claims for damage due to shipping must be made by Customer to the freight carrier, and Company shall have no liability for any such damage.
5. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT

Customer must contact Company for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) before returning any Equipment. All returns must reference the RMA number along with the original invoice number and the reason for return. All returned Equipment must be shipped F.O.B. Company’s location, freight prepaid.
6. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Unless otherwise specifically provided on the quotation or invoice, Company will not provide any services in connection with installation, testing, or evaluation of the Equipment.

All payments shall be in U.S. dollars. If Customer believes that Company has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Company no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Company’s customer support department. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 2.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Technical Support. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Equipment and/or Technical Support other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.
7.4 If shipment or delivery of Equipment is delayed by or at the request of Customer, payment will remain due in full thirty (30) days from the date of Company’s invoice. In such event, Company may impose, and Customer shall pay, storage charges and other incidental expenses incurred by Company as a result of the delay in addition to any interest on late payments as described above.
8. SECURITY INTEREST
As security for payment of all amounts due to Company, Customer grants to Company a security interest in all Equipment sold by Company to Customer, and Company will have all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Equipment. Customer appoints Company as its attorney-in-fact with authority, at Company’s option, to take actions as Company deems reasonable in the circumstance to perfect the above security interest in any one or more jurisdictions, and Customer shall pay all applicable filing fees.
9. TERMINATION
In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may terminate the applicable Order Form and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or without notice in the case of nonpayment), if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions thereof. Upon Company’s termination for any reason, Customer will pay Company on demand all direct and indirect costs (including, without limitation, all applicable restocking or cancellation charges, including reimbursement for direct costs assessed by the manufacturer) incurred directly or indirectly by Company in connection with the applicable Order Form, all as reasonably determined by Company, plus any profit to be negotiated with Customer; provided, however, in no event, however, will any amount payable by Customer exceed the total price payable by Customer for the Equipment. All sections of these Terms and Conditions of Sale and the applicable Order Form which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, indemnification, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
