1. Exclusive Terms; Making of Contract

A. In the absence of a written sales agreement executed by Seller and Buyer, these Terms are the exclusive terms of sale. Seller's quotations are submitted on these Terms and are not offers capable of acceptance. All offers by Seller to sell Goods or provide Services are expressly conditioned on Buyer's assent to and acceptance of these Terms. Seller's processing of any order is expressly conditioned on Buyer's assent to and acceptance of these Terms, including all provisions of the Terms that are different from or in addition to any purported terms and conditions of the order. Any additional, different or other terms and/or conditions contained in any purchase order, document, website or other communication by or from Buyer are hereby objected to and rejected by Seller. If not previously accepted in writing, Buyer accepts the Terms by accepting delivery of the Goods or Services. The “Contract” means the description, quantity, price, payment term, and any other terms and/or conditions and documents, if any, stated on Seller's written order acknowledgement, Seller's datasheet, if any, and these Terms. These Terms supersede any terms and conditions in Buyer's order. No other terms, conditions or representations about the Goods or Services shall apply unless specifically agreed by Seller's authorized representative in writing. No variation or waiver of these Terms shall be effective unless made in writing signed by an authorized representative of each party. The License shall prevail over these Terms if there is any inconsistency.

B. The Goods or any part of them are sold subject either to: (i) the “EXW” Incoterm; or (ii) another Incoterm referenced on Seller's order acknowledgement; and the relevant Incoterm shall be incorporated into the Contract. If there is any inconsistency between an Incoterm and these Terms, the order of precedence shall be (i) the Incoterms expressly identified on Seller's order acknowledgement, (ii) these Terms, and (iii) the Incoterm.

C. If Buyer defers or cancels an order after Seller's acceptance, Buyer shall be liable to Seller for all costs and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of the order and for Seller's lost profit on the order, and Buyer shall indemnify Seller against any and all loss, liability, cost, consequential or incidental damages, or expenses of any kind whatsoever resulting from the order deferment or cancellation.

D. Where it is a condition of the Contract that Buyer will open a letter of credit or pay the whole or part of the price for the Goods or Services before the due delivery date, any failure to comply will entitle Seller to treat the Contract as cancelled by Buyer, and Seller may invoice for the amounts in paragraph 1C above.

2. Prices and Payment

A. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, or provided for in the relevant Incoterm, all prices quoted are: (i) EXW Seller's premises, (ii) exclusive of any applicable taxes, which shall be payable in addition; and (iii) subject to variation and may be replaced with those prevailing at the date of delivery.

B. The price for the Goods includes all matters for which Seller is liable under the relevant Incoterm. Buyer will reimburse Seller for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of the Services.

C. Subject to approval of the Seller's credit department and unless otherwise agreed in writing, Buyer shall pay all Seller's invoices in U.S. dollars in full (in cleared funds) not later than 30 days from the date of the invoice.

D. Seller may charge interest on overdue sums at the highest rate permissible under applicable law, accruing on a daily basis until payment is received, after as well as before any judgment for such sums.

3. Delivery and Acceptance

A. All delivery dates are estimates only and the time of delivery is not of the essence of the Contract. Seller is not liable to compensate Buyer in damages or otherwise for non-delivery or late delivery of the Goods, Services, or any part of them, for whatever reason or for any direct or indirect loss arising therefrom.

B. If Seller cannot deliver the whole or part of any Goods or Services because of any cause or circumstances beyond its control interfering with the production, supply, or transportation of such Goods or Services, including but not limited to Seller's inability to obtain raw materials or supplies at a commercially reasonable price, the time of delivery shall be extended by a period equal to that during which the cause delaying delivery exists. If this paragraph applies, Seller shall deliver and Buyer shall take and pay for such part of the Goods and Services as Seller shall be able to deliver in accordance with the Contract and Seller shall not be subject to any liability or damages for delay in performance or non-performance. Seller may, during any period of shortage due to any cause, prorate and allocate its supply.

C. Seller shall be entitled to deliver the Goods in one or more consignments or installments unless otherwise expressly agreed. In all cases where delivery is made in one or more consignments or installments, each consignment or installment shall be deemed to be made under a separate contract and may be invoiced separately, and cancellation of any consignment or installment shall not void or affect contracts as to other consignments or installments.

D. Delivery shall be in accordance with the relevant Incoterm.

E. Where Buyer is to collect the Goods from Seller's premises, it shall do so within 7 days of receipt of Seller's notice that the Goods are ready for collection, otherwise, Seller may charge Buyer for its costs associated with Buyer's failure to collect within this time. Where Seller has arranged for carriage of the Goods, Buyer shall be deemed to have received such Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of non-delivery by the due date for payment of the relevant invoice.

F. If it has been agreed in writing that the Goods are sold subject to prior inspection by Buyer, such inspection shall take place at Seller's premises and once Buyer or its representative has inspected and approved the Goods, the Goods shall be conclusively presumed to be in accordance with the Contract and accepted, and paragraph 3H below shall not apply in respect of those Goods.

G. For orders comprising Goods and Services which are supplied together, acceptance of the Goods and Services will be deemed to take place on the date the Seller's installation report is signed by Buyer, or completion of all the Services, whichever occurs first. For orders comprising Goods only, Services only, or Services delivered later than the Goods to which they relate, acceptance will be deemed to take place on the date of delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services, or when the Goods or Deliverables are put into use, whichever occurs first.

H. If, before acceptance, Buyer establishes to Seller's reasonable satisfaction that the Goods are not in accordance with the Contract, Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be limited, at Seller's option, to the replacement of the Goods or refund of the purchase price against return of the Goods.

4. Title and Risk of Loss

A. Title and risk of loss of or damage to the Goods shall pass to Buyer at the time of delivery set out in paragraph 3D.

B. Security Interest: Buyer grants to Seller and to its successors and assigns a purchase money security interest in and to the Goods and Deliverables sold under this Agreement and all proceeds and products thereof, including the proceeds of any insurance related thereto. The security interest hereby created shall secure the payment of the purchase price for the Goods and Deliverables, together with all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred or expended in collecting the indebtedness secured hereby and in enforcing the security interest created hereby. Buyer agrees to execute, on request, and hereby authorizes Seller to file, financing statements deemed necessary or desirable by Seller to perfect its security interest in the Goods and Deliverables.

5. Buyer's Default

A. Seller may, at its option, cancel or withhold all further deliveries under the Contract if Buyer: (i) does not pay any sum due under this or any other contract between Seller and Buyer on time; (ii) being a natural person, dies or becomes bankrupt; (iii) being an entity, enters into liquidation or if an administrator or receiver or administrative receiver is appointed over all or part of its undertaking, property or assets; (iv) enters or offers to enter into any arrangement or composition with his or its creditors; or (v) suffers anything similar or analogous to any of these events under the laws of any jurisdiction in which Buyer is organized, resident or carries on business.

B. Buyer shall immediately give notification to Seller should any of the events in 5.A.(ii)-(v) above apply, and in the case of death, Buyer's representatives shall give such notification.

6. Return of Goods

A. Except for items which are customized, bespoke, or comprise non-standard assembled products, Buyer may return Goods to Seller within 60 days of the original shipment date by following the process in this paragraph 6.

B. Buyer must notify Seller within 30 days of shipment if it wishes to return Goods. Upon notification, Seller will issue a return goods authorization number (“RGA”) which Buyer shall use on all paperwork and labels for return. Goods shipped for return without use of the applicable RGA may be refused by Seller.

C. Goods will not be accepted for return where Seller determines in its sole discretion that the items are damaged, incomplete or not in their original packaging, or are received by Seller more than 60 days from the original shipment date.

D. Goods which are accepted will be credited, subject to a restocking fee of $95 or 20% of the net price of the returned items, whichever is greater.

7. Exclusive Limited Warranty

A. Seller warrants that the Equipment will substantially conform to Seller's published specifications and datasheets, if any, or to such other specifications the parties have agreed upon in writing. Subject to paragraphs 7B and 7F, Seller will make good, by repair or, at its option, by the supply of a replacement or refund of purchase price, nonconformities which under proper use appear in the Equipment, within a period of:

(i) 12 months; or

(ii) 15 months, if Buyer is a manufacturer of equipment for resale with the Equipment as an integral part of the manufacturer's equipment; or

(iii) such time as stated in any different warranty period for the Equipment or components of the Equipment that is specified in the tender offer, documentation accompanying the Equipment or otherwise agreed in writing with the Buyer,

after (i) the Equipment has been shipped, or (ii) such other date as specified in the tender offer, documentation accompanying the Equipment or otherwise agreed in writing with the Buyer (“warranty start date”) and which arise solely from the nonconformity to the exclusive limited warranty set forth herein. The repair or replacement shall not benefit from a new period of warranty and the original warranty period of 12 or 15 months or other specified period (whichever is applicable) shall remain unaltered from the warranty start date. In Seller's sole discretion, in lieu of repair or replacement, Seller may opt to refund the purchase price for any nonconforming Equipment.

B. Seller is not liable for the quality, performance or fitness for purpose of any hardware manufactured or software licensed by a third party that are stand-alone items or otherwise external or supplied as an option to the Goods. However, Seller will endeavor to pass on to Buyer the benefit of any warranty received by Seller from its supplier.

C. If Buyer notifies Seller that the Software does not materially perform to specification under proper use in the 90 days (or such other period stated in Seller's tender offer, the Software license or agreed in writing with the Buyer) after the warranty start date, Seller shall replace or repair the Software within a reasonable time of notification. In Seller's sole discretion, in lieu of repair or replacement, Seller may opt to refund the purchase price for any nonconforming Software. No warranty is given that the Software is bug or error-free.

D. If Buyer notifies Seller that any of the Services or Deliverables have not been provided using reasonable care and skill or do not materially meet any Services Specification in the 90 days (or such other period stated in Seller's tender offer or agreed in writing with the Buyer) after delivery, Seller shall re-perform the relevant Services within a reasonable time of notification. In Seller's sole discretion, in lieu of re-performing the Services, Seller may opt to refund the purchase price for any nonconforming Services.

E. The warranty in this paragraph 7 excludes any consumable items.

F. Seller is not liable to Buyer for any warranty nonconformity unless Buyer immediately gives Seller written notice of the alleged nonconformity with full particulars of the operating conditions under which it became apparent and returns the Equipment or relevant part or Deliverable shipping paid to Seller's facility.

G. Any items returned to Seller are at Buyer's risk. Repaired or replacement items will be dispatched shipping paid by Seller to the address requested by Buyer.

H. If the Seller does not identify a warranty nonconformity in the Goods or Deliverables, or does identify a nonconformity, defect or malfunction which is due to any reason set out in paragraphs 7I(i) to 7I(i)(viii), Seller may charge Buyer for all work undertaken in such identification at its then current chargeable rates, and for any costs and expenses reasonably incurred.

I. Seller is not liable, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for any warranty nonconformity, defect, damage to or reduced performance of any part of the Goods or Deliverables, or any equipment being maintained as part of the Services (“Maintained Items”), or for any direct or indirect losses, and paragraphs 7A and 7C cease to apply if, after delivery, the Goods, Deliverables or Maintained Items have been:

(i) used for any purpose which is not contemplated by Seller's instructions for use or the applicable datasheet;

(ii) installed, used or stored in a way that is not in strict accordance with Seller's instructions for use, or otherwise brought to the attention of the Buyer, including where installation has been undertaken by persons not authorized by Seller;

(iii) used with materials, equipment or software which is not contemplated by Seller's instructions for use or used under environmental conditions beyond those expressly stated on the applicable datasheet;

(iv) damaged, misused, neglected, not properly cleaned and stored after use or had any of their identification marks or numbers altered or removed;

(v) modified and altered in any way without Seller's prior written authorization;

(vi) damaged as a result of use or operation after any defect in them has become apparent;

(vii) damaged as a result of failure or fluctuation of electrical power or environmental systems; or

(viii) damaged as a result of fire, flood, theft, act of god, war, terrorism or similar event,

and Seller may invoice Buyer for any repairs required to the Goods, Deliverables or Maintained Items in such circumstances.

J. The decision of Seller on all matters governed by this paragraph 7 and in particular (but without limiting the foregoing) as to the nature and cause of any nonconformity, defect or malfunction, shall be conclusive, and binding on Buyer.

8. Customized or Bespoke Goods

A. Where the Goods have been produced or adapted according to designs or configurations specified or supplied by Buyer, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that:

(i) the Goods as so designed or configured do not breach any third party's Intellectual Property Rights;

(ii) Buyer's design or configuration is suitable for the Goods' end-use, application and/or purpose (and as such Buyer agrees that Seller will have no responsibility for any defective design or configuration); and

(iii) Buyer has or will have satisfied itself that all necessary tests and examinations have been made or will be made before the Goods are brought into use to ensure that the Goods are designed, constructed and operational so as to be safe and without risk to the health or safety of any persons using or near to the Goods.

B. Buyer shall indemnify Seller against all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, charges, liabilities, losses, interest, costs and expenses which Seller may suffer or incur in connection with any claim by any third party alleging facts which, if established, would indicate a breach of Buyer's representations and warranties in this paragraph 8.

9. Performance of Services; and Use and Disposal of Goods

A. Buyer shall: (i) cooperate with the Seller in all matters relating to the Services; (ii) provide Seller and its representatives with access to Buyer's premises as reasonably required to provide the Services; (iii) provide such materially accurate information and materials as Seller may reasonably require to supply the Services; (iv) inform Seller of all health and safety rules and regulations and any other reasonable security requirements that apply at Buyer's premises; (v) undertake such work necessary to prepare Buyer's premises for the supply of the Services, in accordance with Seller's reasonable instructions; and (vi) be solely responsible for assessing and meeting all legislative and recommended health and safety conditions at Buyer's premises to enable provision of the Services.

Buyer shall take such steps as are necessary to ensure that there will be available in connection with the use of the Goods adequate information about the use for which they were designed and about any conditions necessary to ensure that when put to that use they will be safe and without risk to health.

C. Buyer shall not, and, where Buyer resells the Goods, shall require its purchaser not to, remove any marking on the Goods referring any user to Seller's instructions and/or recommendations for use.

D. Buyer shall indemnify Seller against all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, charges, liabilities, losses, interest, costs and expenses which Seller may suffer or incur in connection with any claim by any third party alleging facts which, if established, would indicate a breach of Buyer's undertakings, representations and warranties contained in this paragraph 9 or a breach by any purchaser from Buyer of any undertaking which Buyer is obliged in this paragraph 9 to require from such purchaser.

E. Where Seller is allowed by law to delegate the responsibility for the disposal of electrical waste and equipment, Buyer shall be responsible for the disposal of the Goods, at its own cost.

10. Intellectual Property Rights

A. Nothing in this Contract changes the ownership of any pre-existing Intellectual Property Rights. Intellectual Property Rights created specifically for the Buyer as part of the Deliverables shall belong to the Buyer and all other Intellectual Property Rights shall belong to the party that created them.

B. Paragraph 10C applies where a claim is made against Buyer that any part of the Goods or any use of the Goods for their intended purpose, infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any person except where (i) Buyer has allowed the Goods to be altered or (ii) the Goods have been used as set out in paragraph 7I(iii), and in either such case the claim would not have arisen if such alteration or use had not occurred.

C. Provided that Buyer gives Seller prompt notice in writing of any claim of the type referred to in paragraph 10B and allows Seller (if it so wishes) the entire control of the defense and settlement of the claim, Seller will pay any costs and damages awarded against Buyer in proceedings brought upon the basis of any such claim.

D. If any claim of the type referred to in paragraph 10B is made or is in the opinion of Seller likely to be made, then either (i) Seller shall be entitled to procure for the benefit of Buyer a license to use the Goods and/or Software for their intended purpose, or to modify or replace the Goods so as to avoid infringement without materially diminishing their utility for their intended purpose, or (ii) if the remedies in (i) are in the opinion of Seller not practicable at reasonable cost, Seller shall be entitled to require Buyer to sell the Goods to Seller at the original price after deducting an allowance for depreciation on a straight line basis over the useful life of the Goods, as reasonably determined by Seller.

E. Seller shall have no other or further liability in respect of the alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights other than as specified in this paragraph 10.

F. All drawings, materials, specifications and other data supplied by Seller (“Materials”) and all Intellectual Property Rights in them shall remain the property of Seller and, except where they have already been placed in the public domain by Seller, Buyer shall keep the Materials confidential and shall not use them for any purpose other than that for which they were supplied. Buyer shall destroy or return the Materials to Seller immediately upon Seller's request and in any event, promptly upon Buyer's requirements for the Materials having been satisfied.
