STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE EFFECTIVE: June 22, 2018
(New Products, Repaired Products, Refurbished Products and Services)
1. TERMS OF SALE. These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale ( Terms ) shall apply to Seller s Quotation or Acknowledgment in which these Terms are specifically incorporated by reference (the Quotation or Acknowledgment, together with these Terms, the “ Agreement” ). All purchases by Buyer of products or services described in the Agreement are expressly limited to and conditioned upon acceptance of these Terms, regardless of whether Buyer purchases such product or services through any media or means, including but not limited to, verbal or written purchase orders, electronic orders via EDI, acknowledgements, confirmations, or other writings from Buyer to Seller. Unless such provisions are expressly agreed to by Seller in a writing signed by Seller, any additional or conflicting terms and conditions contained on, attached to or referenced by Buyer’s writings, or other prior or later communication from Buyer to Seller, shall have no effect on the purchase of any such products or services by Buyer from Seller and are expressly rejected by Seller. These Terms along with the Quotation or Acknowledgement in which they are incorporated by reference are deemed an offer for sale by Seller. If Buyer does not accept in writing Seller’s offer to sell, Buyer’s commencement of performance (including ordering, purchasing or taking delivery of product or accepting services) shall, in all cases, constitute Buyer’s unqualified and unconditional acceptance of the Agreement. To the extent that these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale conflict with any provision of Seller’s Quote and/or Acknowledgment, these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale shall prevail.
2. PRICES. Unless otherwise stipulated in writing, quoted prices will be valid for thirty (30) days. Prices are based upon Seller s understanding of Buyer s requirements and specifications. Quoted prices are exclusive of all taxes (except taxes levied on Seller s income) including federal, state and local use, sales, property or similar taxes paid or required to be collected by Seller.
3. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all sales of products shall be shipped Ex Works, collect. Notwithstanding any shipping term, title to any products sold and risk of loss of such products passes to Buyer upon delivery by Seller to the carrier and products shall be deemed delivered at such time, and any claims for losses or damage occurring after delivery to carrier by Seller shall be made by Buyer directly with the carrier.
4. PAYMENT TERMS/CREDIT. (a) Buyer shall pay all invoices, without deduction, in U.S. Dollars. If the Agreement does not state payment terms, payment shall be received by Seller no later than thirty (30) days from the date of Seller s invoice. Delay in payment will result in Buyer being responsible for interest at a rate of one and a half percent (1 1 ⁄ 2%) per month compounded monthly (19.6% per annum), or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less, on the outstanding amount of any unpaid invoice beginning on the day after the payment due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the late payment charge for a month be less than Five Dollars ($5.00). If the payment due date is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday where banks located in the State of Delaware are authorized or required to be closed, Buyer shall make such payment on the business day after such due date. (b) Seller makes no assurance or guarantee regarding any amount of credit or the continuation of such credit to Buyer. In the event credit is provided by Seller to Buyer, or Performance Assurance (as hereinafter defined) is required by Seller of Buyer, Buyer will provide to Seller, as requested by Seller, such annual or interim reports containing Buyer’s and/or the Buyer’s Performance Assurance provider s consolidated financial statements for a particular fiscal year or accounting period, as requested. In all cases, such statements shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller determines, in its sole discretion, that the creditworthiness or future performance of Buyer is impaired or unsatisfactory, Seller may: (i) suspend deliveries of product and/or services, (ii) require prepayment by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and/or (iii) require Performance Assurance. Buyer hereby waives written notice of any such action. Performance Assurance means collateral in the form of either cash, letter(s) of credit, guaranty, or other security acceptable to Seller in its sole discretion. (d) In the event Buyer fails to timely pay Seller any payments due Seller (whether under this Agreement or pursuant to any other obligation of Buyer to Seller) in accordance with Seller s terms, Seller may, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, defer further shipments until such payments are made or, at its option, cancel the unshipped balance without any liability to Buyer.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall pay all taxes (excluding federal, state or local income or franchise taxes of Seller) and all import duties, levies and impositions and all other governmental charges, assessments, fees, and any interest or penalties thereon ( Taxes and Governmental Charges ), whether payable by Seller or Buyer, imposed or levied on or with respect to this Agreement or the amounts payable hereunder, the goods, or the possession, sale, use, furnishing or ownership of the goods. If this Agreement specifically provides that Seller shall pay any of the foregoing, Seller shall pay the amount thereof at the rates in effect on the date of this Agreement. If the total amount thereof is, at any time and for any reasons (whether as a result of new or increased duties, taxes or other charges or otherwise), greater (or less) than the aforementioned amount as of the date of this Agreement, the difference shall be charged (or credited) to Buyer.
