1. SALES CONTRACT AND
LIMITATIONS -The
entire agreement between Buyer and Seller (herein called the "Sales
Contract") with respect to the goods and/or services described in
Seller's proposal or acknowledgment, as the case may be, shall consist
of the terms appearing herein and in Seller's proposal or acknowledgment,
such terms being additions to or modifications of Seller's Terms mutually
agreed upon in writing by Seller and Buyer. Buyer's right to accept any
offer from Seller, or acceptance by Seller of any offer from Buyer is
made expressly conditional on Buyer's assent to any of Seller's Terms
which are additional to and/or different from any terms contained in
Buyer's request for proposal, Buyer's purchase order, or any other communication
from Buyer to Seller. Acceptance by Buyer of any offer from Seller is
also expressly limited to Seller's Terms, and Seller hereby objects to
and shall not be bound by any additional, different or conflicting terms,
whether printed or otherwise, in Buyer's request for proposal, Buyer's
purchase order, or in any other communication from Buyer to Seller, it
being understood that Seller's Terms shall prevail notwithstanding any
such additional, different or conflicting terms. In the event of any
conflict between the terms appearing herein and the terms appearing in
Seller's proposal or acknowledgment, the terms appearing in the latter
shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between the terms appearing
in Seller's proposal and the terms appearing in Seller's acknowledgment,
the latter shall prevail. No modification or waiver of Seller's Terms
is valid, unless confirmed in writing by an authorized representative
of Seller. The Sales Contract shall only be for the benefit of Buyer
and Seller, and not for the benefit of any other person, except as otherwise
provided herein with respect to Seller's subcontractors.
2.
CANCELLATION - Buyer
may not cancel this order, or any portion thereof, except upon written
notice to Seller and upon payment to Seller of the cancellation charges
specified below. Buyer acknowledges that such charges have been agreed
upon, not as a penalty, but as a result of the difficulty of computing
actual damages and the inconvenience and non-feasibility of Seller otherwise
obtaining an adequate remedy. Such cancellation charges are as follows:
Cancellation
Notice
Received Prior to
Scheduled Delivery |
Cancellation
Charges
(Percentage of Sales Price of
Goods and/or Services) |
60 days
or more |
20% |
Less
than 60 days |
35% |
Buyer may not cancel any
order, or portion thereof, after shipment. Buyer may not reschedule or
change any order, or portion thereof, without Seller's prior written consent.
3.
PRICE AND PAYMENT -
Terms of payment for sales in the United States are cash upon delivery
or, at Seller's option, with approved credit, net 30 days from date of
invoice or such other terms as are agreed between buyer and seller. Terms
of payment for sales outside of the United States shall be irrevocable
letter of credit confirmed through a US bank. A finance charge of 1 1/2%
per month will be assessed on any amounts outstanding beyond our 30-day
payment terms. If the Sales Contract is for more than one unit of goods,
the goods may be shipped in a single lot, or in several lots, with the
agreement of the buyer, and each such shipment shall be paid for separately.
Pro rata payments shall become due as shipments are made. Seller may
require, in advance of shipment, full or partial payment or payment guarantee,
whenever, in its opinion, the financial condition of Buyer so warrants.
In the event of Buyer's bankruptcy or insolvency, or in the event any
proceeding is brought against Buyer, voluntarily or involuntarily, under
the bankruptcy or insolvency laws, Seller may cancel any order then outstanding
at any time during the period allowed for filing claims against the estate,
and shall be paid the cancellation charges specified in Section 2. If
Seller consents to a delay in delivery requested by Buyer, payment shall
become due on the date when Seller is prepared to make shipment, and
goods held for Buyer after such date shall be held at the risk and expense
of Buyer.
4.
TAXES - Prices
are exclusive of all federal, state, or local property, license privilege,
sales, use, excise, and other taxes and government charges, which may
now or hereafter be applicable to, measured by, or imposed upon or with
respect to the transaction, the goods and/or services furnished under
the Sales Contract, their sale, value or use, and Buyer shall be responsible
for all such taxes and charges in addition to the price of the goods
and/or services and shall reimburse Seller when such tax is payable by
Seller, unless evidence of tax exemption acceptable to the taxing authorities
is furnished by Buyer.
5.
DELIVERY - Promises
of delivery from stock are subject to prior sale. Delivery dates are
not guaranteed, but are estimated on the basis of immediate receipt by
Seller of all information and approvals to be furnished by Buyer and
the absence of delays which are excused under Section 10 (Delays). Seller
shall endeavor in good faith to meet estimated delivery dates.
6.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS - A. Title to and risk of loss for Domestic U.S. shipments shall pass to

As to any such product, part, or use in such combination, Seller assumes
no liability whatsoever for patent infringement and Buyer will hold Seller
harmless against any infringement claims arising therefrom.
