THE COURTS OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS WAIVED IN A WRITING SIGNED BY SELLER AND SUBJECT TO ANY RIGHT OF ARBITRATION WHICH MAY BE PROVIDED BY THIS AGREEMENT. The parties stipulate to the convenience of New York courts in general, as to all litigation. Any declaration of unenforceability of a provision shall be as narrow as possible and shall not affect the enforceability of the other provisions. A tribunal with jurisdiction may reform a provision of this Agreement, at the request of Seller, to the extent minimally required for enforcement.

2. Formation, Integration and Modification.
A. This Agreement supersedes all previous quotations and agreements pertaining to the Goods. Delivery to Seller of Buyer’s acceptance of Seller’s quotation (according to its terms), any action taken by Seller’s in reliance on Buyer’s oral or written acceptance of Seller’s written or oral quotation, or Seller’s tender of goods, will constitute a binding contract under the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to Seller’s revocation or cancellation without liability until it is approved by Seller at its home office. Notice of such approval may be furnished to Buyer in the form of an acknowledgment, shipment, or other form of express approval.

B. An order submitted by Buyer orally or in a purchase order or other writing (whether or not it contains terms or conditions modifying, adding to, repugnant to, or inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions), may be accepted, approved or filled by Seller, but any resulting contract and the liabilities or obligations of Seller shall be determined solely by this Agreement, and (unless Seller otherwise advises Buyer in writing) notice is hereby given that Seller objects to any such terms or conditions in Buyer’s purchase order or other document or communication. Seller shall not be deemed to have in any way enlarged or modified its liabilities or obligations under this Agreement by filling such order or by failing to further object to Buyer’s terms or conditions.

C. This Agreement is a final, complete and exclusive statement of this Agreement of the parties. No modifications, limitations, waivers or discharge of this Agreement or any of its terms shall bind Seller unless in writing signed by Seller’s authorized employee at its home office. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no modifications, limitation, waiver or discharge of any provision of this Agreement shall affect Buyer’s liabilities to Seller accrued prior thereto. Seller may correct unilaterally mathematical and typographical errors in this Agreement. A course of performance, course of dealing, or custom in the trade shall not modify or waive any right of Seller under this Agreement

D. This Agreement is only for the benefit of the parties, except all disclaimers and limitations applicable to Seller shall be for the benefit of Seller’s affiliates, agents, employees, contractors, successors, assigns, directors, shareholders, officers and suppliers. If any other provisions of this Agreement are determined to apply to third parties, all other provisions including limitations, waivers, and disclaimers shall also apply.

E. Goods quoted to Buyer may be subject to prior sale or other commitment to other parties.

F. Buyer acknowledges that: he/she/it are merchants in respect to the Goods; they have had an opportunity to review this Agreement; and the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable when considered as a whole.

3. Authority of Seller’s Agents.
No agent, employee, or representative of Seller has any authority to bind Seller to any affirmation, waiver, representation or warranty concerning the Goods, not contained in this Agreement. Unless a executed written affirmation, waiver, representation, or warranty is expressly included within this Agreement, it is not a part of the basis of this Agreement and it is not enforceable.

4. Prices, Payment and Risk of Loss.
A. Prices contained in Seller’s published price lists, if any, are subject to change without notice. Prices contained in individual written quotations or proposals are firm only for a period stated therein and otherwise for 20 days from the date of the quotation. After the firm price period the prices are subject to change, and Buyer should inquire of Seller as to their validity and request a written confirmation or revision. Prices do not include taxes and Buyer shall pay (or be responsible for said payment of) all applicable sales or other taxes levied with respect to Goods (and replacements) and this Agreement, unless exempt therefrom. All prices are in United States dollars and must be paid in U.S. dollars at the location specified in Seller’s invoice. Buyer shall pay all government fees levied on the installation and inspection of the Goods. Buyer shall pay upon receipt all invoices rendered by Seller for any such items Seller may pay.

B. This Agreement is for a shipment contract and the Goods shall be delivered F.O.B. Seller’s dock. Whether or not Seller prepays shipping charges, risk of loss passes to Buyer upon tender of the Goods at Seller’s Dock. Risk of Loss shall pass to Buyer upon Seller tendering delivery at Seller’s dock notwithstanding any breach by the Seller or provision of law to the contrary.

C. Prices may be changed by Seller to Seller’s prices charged to other customers on the date of delivery. If any delay in delivery beyond the date of delivery scheduled at the time of entry of the order is requested or otherwise caused by Buyer, Seller shall adjust the price under the provisions of this subsection. Seller may unilaterally adjust the price to cover Seller’s increased cost of performance due to increases in the costs of materials or transportation, change in the law, or other conditions beyond Seller’s reasonable control after the date of any quotation.

D. Seller may unilaterally increase prices to cover increased costs (plus reasonable overhead and profit) of design, materials, manufacturing, and other performance by Seller, required by changes requested by Buyer to the Goods, schedule, or any other performance by Seller after the date of any quotation. Seller is not obligated to perform any such changes, but shall be compensated for them if Seller complies with such requested changes.

E. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Seller shall not be responsible for any freight, transportation, insurance, shipping, storage, handling, demurrage or similar charges arising out of the performance of this Agreement. If such charges are specifically included in the price, any increase in rates for such services becoming effective after the date the price is quoted to Buyer shall be paid by Buyer.

F. If, at any time, reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to Buyer’s performance of its payment or other obligations hereunder, Seller may demand immediate payment in full or a documentary letter of credit approved by a U.S. bank acceptable to Seller or other financial security for such payment or other obligations. In addition, all amounts owed by Buyer to Seller shall be accelerated and payable immediately if Buyer fails to make any payment on time and as otherwise required or if Buyer sells or transfers the line of business for which the Goods are purchased or is a participant in a merger or other reorganization.

G. All export and import permits and licenses and the payment of all export and import duties and customs fees shall be the responsibility of Buyer. All export and import duties, fees, permits, licenses, etc. for Goods to be delivered outside of the United States shall be the responsibility of Buyer.

H. Invoices may be rendered separately for each shipment (including any early shipment) made by Seller. Buyer shall pay all invoices net 30 days after the date of shipment unless Seller agrees to other terms in writing. Seller may change any payment term to Buyer on seven days written notice.

I. Seller may elect to deliver the Goods in installments. Each installment of Goods to be delivered is to be considered as a separate sale and Buyer shall pay timely the price for each installment which is delivered. Any Goods indicated as back-ordered now or in the future shall be considered an installment delivery. A failure to pay for an installment within the time for payment is a material anticipatory breach of all other installments by Buyer.

J. All amounts not paid to Seller when due shall incur a carrying charge of 1.5% per month to the extent allowed by law and otherwise at the highest written contract rate allowed by law. Buyer will also pay collection fees and any other fees associated with the unpaid balance allowed by law.

K. All amounts due on installation or other event which requires the action or cooperation of Buyer which Buyer fails to supply timely shall become due upon such failure.

L. If this Agreement permits or requires the use of a letter of credit, the letter of credit must be a documentary letter of credit assignable, irrevocable, confirmed by a United States bank with a payment office in New York acceptable to Seller, payable in installments, and require payment to Seller on submission of Seller’s invoice and a bill of lading. Buyer shall pay all costs related to the letter of credit.

M. Seller may offset or recoup any amounts owed by Seller or an affiliate of Seller to Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer against any amounts owed by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer to Seller or an affiliate of Seller. Buyer waives any right of offset or recoupment and shall pay all amounts owed to Seller when due regardless of any claim of Buyer regarding warranties or other issues arising under contract, tort, statute or otherwise. Payment of such amounts under written protest shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of its claims under this Agreement or Applicable Law.

N. Seller may allocate payments from Buyer among outstanding invoices in Seller’s discretion.

O. It is understood that any of the Goods ordered under this contract which are procured by Seller from sources outside the United States are predicated on the rate of exchange in force at the time of the placing of the order or the time of the acceptance of the order at Seller’s choice. In the event that prior to the delivery of such Goods to Buyer the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the currency of the country from which the Goods are procured should vary, the price of the Goods shall be increased or decreased accordingly to compensate Seller for such variation in the rate of exchange.

5. Delivery.
A. Shipping dates are estimates based on Seller’s present engineering and manufacturing capacity and scheduling, and may be revised by Seller upon receipt or scheduling of Buyer’s order. All shipping dates are approximate and shall be computed from the date of entry of the order on Seller’s books. All shipping dates are further subject to Seller’s prompt receipt from Buyer of a written purchase order or acceptance, letter of credit, down payment, and other conditions as specified in this Agreement, and of all drawings, information and approvals necessary to provide the Goods and to grant any credit proposed in this Agreement.

B. Seller shall deliver the Goods by tendering the Goods on its docks for placement in the possession of a carrier and, without liability, shall make such contract for their transportation as Seller decides having regard for the nature of the Goods and other circumstances. On Buyer’s written request, Seller shall obtain and send to Buyer documents necessary to enable Buyer to obtain insurance. Seller is not responsible in any manner for transportation or insurance costs. Buyer shall pay all handling and other charges incidental to transportation. Buyer is responsible for making any claim against the carrier and other handlers of the Goods after delivery.

6. Delay of Shipment or Performance Excused for Various Reasons.
A. If shipment of any Goods or other performance by Seller is delayed at the request of or due to the fault of Buyer, Seller may at its option hold the Goods at the place of manufacture at the risk and expense of Buyer from the time it is ready for shipment. In the event of any such delay in shipment, full and final payment for Goods shall be due and payable 30 days after Buyer is notified that the Goods are ready for shipment. If Seller is unwilling to accommodate Buyer by holding such Goods, Buyer shall accept shipment immediately.

B. All inspection, delivery, and other dates for Seller’s performance are estimates only. In addition, Seller shall not be in default because of its delay or failure to deliver or perform under this Agreement resulting, in whole or in part, from: (i) any foreign or domestic embargoes, seizures, acts of God, insurrections, war, or the adoption or enactment of any law, ordinance, regulation, ruling or order; (ii) shortages of raw materials or labor; (iii) the lack of usual means of transportation, fires, floods, explosions, strikes or other work actions, or any other accidents, contingencies, or events, at Seller’s or its supplier’s plant or elsewhere (whether or not beyond Seller’s control) which directly or indirectly interfere with, or render substantially more burdensome, Seller’s production, delivery, or performance; (iv) delays by Buyer in inspecting and acceptance, in furnishing requested specifications, materials, tooling or information, in making payments, or otherwise; (v) failure of Seller’s suppliers to perform. If one or more deliveries hereunder are delayed by reason of any one or more of such occurrences for a period of 30 days, Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement as to the undelivered goods or waive such delay and establish a new delivery schedule.

C. Whenever Seller’s supply of the Goods, materials or means of production is insufficient to meet the estimated delivery schedule or in the event of any occurrence mentioned above in Subsections A and B, Seller, in its sole discretion, may allocate its supply to its own use or other customers.

D. This Section shall be effective even as to events described in Subsections A, B and C which exist on the date of a quotation or of contract formation.

7. Inspection, Testing and Rejection.
A. If this Agreement expressly provides for Buyer’s inspection and/or acceptance of the Goods, Seller’s standard test procedures conducted by Seller’s representative shall be the criteria for inspection and/or acceptance, unless other specific procedures have been specified in this Agreement. On request, Seller will quote to Buyer additional charges required to conduct any additional procedures requested by Buyer which may be acceptable to Seller.

B. Buyer shall have fifteen days after receipt of any manuals, drawings, specifications, technical documentation, samples, prototypes and Goods to inspect and either accept or provide notice of objection and/or rejection. If it is rejected, notice must be given to Seller so that it will arrive no later than 15 days after receipt of the item by Buyer. Failure to so act shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance by Buyer of the item. Any objection and/or rejection by Buyer must be in writing and state with specificity all defects and non-conformities upon which Buyer will rely to support its rejection. ALL DEFECTS AND NON- CONFORMITIES WHICH ARE NOT SO SPECIFIED ARE WAIVED. If Buyer rejects any tender of the Goods and if requested by Seller, Buyer shall return them to Seller, at buyers expense within three days after such request. A failure to so return shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance. No attempted revocation of acceptance shall be effective. There shall be no limitation on the period of time in which Seller may cure any non-conformity or breach, provided it continues to make reasonable efforts to cure.

C. If this Agreement requires, or Seller requests in writing, inspection or testing prior to shipment, and upon notification by Seller that the Goods are ready for inspection or testing, Buyer shall provide, at a place selected by Seller, at Buyer’s own expense, one or more qualified and authorized employees to inspect and/or test the Goods, check the Goods for general compliance with this Agreement, and authorize shipment. If Buyer fails to do so within seven days, then Seller may, in its own discretion, determine that Buyer has waived the right of inspection, testing and/or acceptance prior to shipment and ship the Goods. Correction of defects or non-conformities, which would likely have been discovered by Buyer’s inspection and/or testing will be at Buyer’s expense.

D. Buyer shall provide, at its cost and risk of loss, all materials, fixtures, tooling and other items necessary for any inspection and/or testing required by this Agreement or requested by Seller. If Buyer fails to supply such items within the time required, Seller may supply them at Buyer’s expense or test by such means as available at the place of manufacturer. Equipment, parts and materials furnished by Buyer for testing and/or inspection will be returned to Buyer at Buyer’s cost, unless Buyer authorizes their disposal. If the Goods include the necessary fixtures and tooling, the inspection and/or testing at the place of manufacture may be performed on production or other equipment similar to, but other than, that identified to this Agreement.

E. Any claim by Buyer for shortages in any delivery must be in writing with satisfactory written evidence delivered to Seller within three days of receipt.

F. Any expense incurred by Buyer or Seller in the inspection or testing of the Goods shall be paid by Buyer, whether or not the Goods have been rejected as defective or non-conforming or the Goods have been accepted and a warranty claim has been made for correction of a defect or nonconformity.

8. Disclaimer of Patent Warranties.
Seller disclaims any implied warranty of non-infringement. Buyer shall notify Seller promptly of any assertions of patent infringement and provide Seller with assistance and information requested by Seller for its defense, or shall have no further obligation to defend or indemnify. Seller shall defend with its counsel or other counsel of its choice and shall have the sole right, without consultation with Buyer, to take all action Seller deems appropriate to prosecute or settle such claims.

Buyer affirms that it has not relied upon Seller’s skill or judgment to select or furnish Goods for any particular purpose beyond the specific express warranties in this Agreement. Any design provided by Seller is based on information provided by Buyer. Seller may rely entirely on information provided by Buyer and is under no obligation to verify such information or take any action to obtain explanatory or supplemental information from Buyer or third parties.

B. Seller has sole discretion to authorize a return of the goods by Buyer and in no case shall Buyer be entitled to return any good without the advanced written consent of the Seller which consent shall contain a return authorization number, and other instructions relating to the return of Goods.

B. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding compliance with the general requirements of federal OSHA regulations. Buyer may request compliance with specific sections or paragraphs of OSHA or other standards and Seller may, at its option, agree to comply with such Buyer requests, however, Seller does not make any representations or warranties regarding such compliance with specific sections or paragraphs of OSHA or other technical standards and shall not be liable in any way for non-compliance with the same. Because of changes which occur in OSHA, state codes, local codes and user safety programs, Seller must be advised by Buyer or other users if they desire specific modifications in the Goods required for compliance. A quotation will be submitted for such requested modifications.

C. Goods designed and manufactured by Seller are capable of being used in a safe manner, but Seller cannot guarantee their safety under all circumstances.

B. Buyer covenants to use and require its employees to use all safety devices and guards furnished with or intended to be used with the Goods, and to follow proper safe operating procedures in accordance with general industry standards and as set forth in manuals and instruction information furnished by Seller.

14. Breach and Cancellation.
A. If Buyer defaults in the performance of its obligations, if Buyer advises Seller that it will default in the performance of its obligations, or if any action is started by or against Buyer seeking the appointment of a trustee or receiver or the entry of an order for debtor’s relief for Buyer, Seller may cease performance of its obligations, recover Goods in transit or delivered, disable delivered Goods, and otherwise enforce its remedies for Buyer’s default.

B. Seller shall be awarded interest, consequential and incidental damages and costs (such as interest and actual reasonable attorney fees) in any proceeding to enforce its remedies in which it obtains relief or damages or in which it prevails in the defense of any action by Buyer.

Cost of manufacture shall include all materials or services which Seller has ordered and which cannot be canceled and all costs incurred in canceling material and service orders which can be canceled. Seller may retain without cost all materials and partially completed Goods on canceled orders. The parties acknowledge the great difficulty of proving damages for the cancellation of products such as the Goods and the reasonableness of this liquidated damages provision.

15. Consequential, Incidental, and Other Damages.
BUYER AND THIRD PARTIES SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, AS
DEFINED IN THE UCC OR OTHERWISE. This limitation shall be enforced regardless of whether Seller has defaulted in its warranty or other obligations or any warranty under this Agreement is held to fail of its essential purpose. Any legal inability to limit or restrict the right of Buyer or a third party to such damages shall not affect the right of Seller to indemnification hereunder, and under no circumstance shall Buyer recover more than the purchase price. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS FOR PERFORMANCE, NON-CONFORMING GOODS, DEFECTIVE GOODS, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY SELLER FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR SHIPMENT WHICH CONTAINED THE NON-CONFORMING GOODS, DEFECTIVE GOODS, OR OTHER EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Buyer shall maintain, for Seller’s inspection, written records which shall include the names and address of such employees and contractors granted such access. Buyer shall indemnify Seller from all expenses, including all costs and attorney fees, and damages related to the improper use or disclosure of Seller’s confidential and proprietary information and technology by Buyer or its employees and contractors. Buyer acknowledges that such disclosure would cause Seller irreparable harm, in additional to monetary damages.

25. Severability.
Any provision found to be unenforceable by a final unappealed order entered by the court or tribunal shall be severed from this Agreement. Such severance shall be as narrow as possible and shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement in such action and other actions, unless the court or tribunal shall also find, on the request of the party that asserted the enforceability of the provision, that without such provision as originally written, this Agreement is not likely to meet the reasonably commercial expectations of such party and in such case, the court or tribunal shall enter an equitable judgment of rescission, termination or reformation of this Agreement as necessary to reach an equitable result.
