(GOODS AND SERVICES)

1. Application. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”) are hereby incorporated into the quotation, invoice or other document to which they are attached or referenced (“Order” and, together with the Terms and Conditions, the “Contract”), and apply to the customer, owner or its agent (“Buyer”) and the seller (“Seller”) listed on the Order. All purchases by Buyer and sales by Seller are expressly limited and conditioned upon acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. Seller objects to and rejects any provision additional to or different from the Terms and Conditions that may appear in Buyer’s purchase order, acknowledgement, confirmation, writing, or in any other prior or later communication from Buyer to Seller, unless such provision is expressly agreed to by Seller in a writing signed by Seller. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Goods” will refer to the goods, material and equipment listed on the Order as well as all equipment or other materials provided in connection with any Services, and the term “Services” will refer to the services listed on the Order as well as all ancillary services provided with any Goods. Terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Order.

2. Quotations & Prices. Unless specifically stated otherwise in Seller’s quotation, prices are Free Carrier (FCA) the Seller location listed in the Order per Incoterms 2010. Prices are subject to change upon notification by Seller. Seller reserves the right to increase prices upon giving notice to Buyer. Once Seller provides notice of a price increase, all current and open backlog orders will be adjusted to the new price 30 days from notification date, and all unshipped orders will then be adjusted to the new price. Written quotations automatically expire 14 calendar days from the date issued and are subject to termination by notice within that period. Quotations may not be disclosed to any third party or used in preparation of any request for quotation for goods similar to, or as a substitution for, Goods quoted by Seller. Prices for Goods and Services are exclusive of all city, state and federal excise taxes, including taxes on manufacture, sales, receipts, gross income, occupation, use, and similar taxes. Wherever applicable, such tax or taxes will be added to the invoice as a separate charge to be paid by Buyer.

3. Delays. Seller will use reasonable efforts to meet Buyer’s requested delivery date, but Seller does not guarantee a specific delivery date. In addition, delivery of Goods and Services are subject to, and contingent upon, delay directly or indirectly caused by, or in any manner arising from, fires, floods, accidents, weather related events, disease, riots, acts of God, war, government interference, embargoes, priorities, regulations, strikes, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies, transportation delays, compliance with any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, policy, order or request of any federal, state, provincial or local government unit, or any officer, department, agency, or committee thereof, Seller’s production schedules, or any other cause or causes (whether or not similar in nature to any of these hereinbefore specified) beyond Seller’s control and Seller will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Buyer arising therefrom. Seller will have the right, in the event of the happening of any of the above contingencies, at its option, to cancel the Contract any part thereof without any resulting liability.

4. Partial Shipment. All shipments of Goods by Seller may be within 10% over or under the exact quantity ordered by Buyer, and price for order will be adjusted by the unit amount for such overage or underage, if any. Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments. All such installments will be separately invoiced and paid for when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment will not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept remaining deliveries.

5. Release Quantity. The total release quantity of Goods used for pricing must be requested for shipment. If multiple shipments are required, all requested shipments must be within a 60 calendar day period after purchase order placement. Modifications in schedule made by Seller will not affect Buyer pricing. Invoicing is based on Buyer accepting all scheduled shipments. If shipments are cancelled or reduced in quantity, Seller reserves the right to invoice with prices based on the actual shipped quantity meeting the indicated requirements.

6. Storage. In case of any delay in shipment of Goods caused by Buyer, Seller may place the Goods in storage and Buyer will pay all handling, insurance and storage charges. Buyer will pay such charges promptly upon receipt of invoice and will pay for Goods placed in storage in accordance with the terms originally specified by Seller.

7. Transfer of Title. Title to the Goods will transfer from Seller to Buyer at the same time as risk of loss is transferred from Seller to Buyer under the applicable Incoterm.

8. Cancellation, Rescheduling and Returns. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled, and goods may not be returned, without Seller’s prior written consent.

9. Warranty.

a.
