Accu-Tech Corporation Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. These Terms and Conditions of Sale (this “Agreement”) shall apply to, and govern the sale of, any products (collectively, the “Products”) by Accu-Tech Corporation (the “Seller”) to the applicable customer identified in such quote, order document, or credit application (“Customer”). This Agreement constitutes the entire, integrated agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and shall apply to any subsequent purchases made by Customer from Seller. Any and all discussions, understandings, agreements, representations, courses of dealings, customs, and usages of trade heretofore made or engaged in by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are hereby deemed to be merged into this Agreement, which alone fully and completely express the parties’ agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller and Customer are parties to a mutually executed and negotiated agreement that governs the supply and use of the Products (the “Existing Agreement”), the terms and conditions of such Existing Agreement shall be deemed to supersede this Agreement for the specific purpose set forth therein. Seller objects to and shall not be bound by any additional or different terms, whether printed or otherwise, in any purchase order or other communication from Customer to Seller, unless specifically agreed to in a separate writing signed by the parties and only with respect to those Products intended to be covered by that executed document. The execution of a Customer order document shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to evidence Seller’s assent to any terms and conditions contained or referenced thereon. Such additional or different terms shall be deemed a material alteration of this Agreement, and Customer shall be deemed to have accepted this Agreement without such additional or different terms. This Agreement may be updated periodically by Seller. Each revision will be identified by the next revision number and effective date. Any subsequent revisions will be effective only to quotes or orders issued on or after the date of the revision to such terms and conditions. Customer’s acceptance or use the Products constitute acceptance of this Agreement.

2. Any change in Product specifications, quantities, destinations, shipping schedules, or any other aspect of the scope of goods must be agreed to in writing by Seller, and may result in a price and delivery adjustment by Seller. If all or part of the contract is terminated by modification or rescission, Customer, in the absence of a contrary written agreement between Seller and Customer, shall pay termination charges equal to Seller’s costs associated with the contract, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, plus a reasonable profit on the entire contract. Cost shall include any amount Seller must pay to its suppliers due to any termination by Seller of a purchase order or contract for Products intended for Customer. If Customer orders any Special Stock Products (as defined herein) from Seller, Customer will not be able to cancel such order in the event the Special Stock Product is already in Seller’s possession or in transit to Seller, plus Customer must pay for any manufacturer cancellation charges for unshipped items. The term “Special Stock Product” shall be deemed to mean any inventory from Seller which Seller produces or procures for Customer and such inventory is nonstandard or not readily saleable to other customers of Seller. Seller may, in its discretion, require an advance deposit of up to 100% of Seller’s selling price for any Special Stock Product ordered by Customer hereunder.

3. Payment of the purchase price for Products sold by Seller to Customer shall be in the amounts set forth on each invoice, and Customer agrees to pay all charges in accordance with the amounts established in said invoices. The entire outstanding balance due to Seller on all invoices shall become due in full immediately upon default in the payment of any invoice. Customer will pay a service charge of $50.00 or the maximum allowed by law for each check returned by Customer’s bank. In addition, in the event of Customer fails to pay all charges in accordance with this Agreement, Customer shall pay Seller all costs and expenses of collection, suit, or other legal action brought as a result of non-payment, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and collection costs, incurred pre-suit, through trial, on appeal, and in any administrative or bankruptcy proceedings.

4. Customer shall pay the purchase price for Products within the time indicated on the face of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. In the event Customer fails to pay the total purchase price within the time indicated on the face of the invoice or other written agreement, the maximum allowable charge and/or interest allowed by applicable laws shall be applied to all past due accounts commencing from the due date of the invoice until paid. Seller shall also be entitled, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and/or other expenses in collecting the purchase price or otherwise enforcing or successfully defending itself in respect of this Agreement. Cash discounts do not apply to cases, reels, spools or transportation charges. The purchase price for the Products is F.O.B. first point of shipment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Seller may set off any amount due from Customer to Seller, whether or not under this Agreement, from any amounts due to Customer. Title to and risk of loss of the Products pass to Customer upon delivery to the carrier at the F.O.B. shipping point. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, title to any software associated with a Product shall not pass to Customer and, strictly to the extent permissible under any license agreement related to such software, Customer shall be granted a limited license to use the software in connection with the Product, strictly in accordance with the license agreement, and Customer agrees to be bound by any license terms pertaining to software associated with a Product sold hereunder. To the extent permitted under applicable law, Customer agrees to defend and indemnify Seller, including paying for Seller’s reasonable attorneys’ fees for counsel of Seller’s choosing, from any claims or lawsuits in which it is alleged that such license agreement was breached or violated by reason of the actions of Customer.

5. Seller will not accept returns of Products or the taking of financial credits by Customer unless previously authorized by Seller via a written Return Material Authorization (“RMA”). Returns shall be subject to Seller’s current RMA policy, which will be made available upon request.

6. Prices on Seller’s website, catalogs or in Seller quotes are subject to change without notice. All prices listed on a Seller quote will be deemed to expire and become invalid if not accepted within 30 calendar days from the date of issue, unless otherwise noted by Seller in writing. Seller, in its sole discretion, may extend such 30 day period; however, such extensions of pricing, if made, are for Customer’s convenience only and Seller shall be free at any time after such initial 30 day period to adjust the prices contained on such quote. In addition, any mathematical, stenographic or clerical errors are not binding on Seller. Except where specifically stated by Seller, prices shown do not include any sales, excise, or other governmental tax or charge payable by Seller to any federal, state or local authority. Any tax or other governmental charge upon the provision of services, or the production, sale, shipment, transfer, consumption, or use of the Products which Seller is required to pay or collect from Customer shall be paid by Customer to Seller at the time of payment for the Product, unless Customer furnishes Seller with exemption certificates acceptable to taxing authorities. Such amount shall be due whether or not included on the invoice.

7. Shipping date or other applicable performance date is estimated on the basis of immediate receipt by Seller of Customer’s order and all information, drawings and approvals to be furnished by Customer, and the absence of delays, direct or indirect, resulting from or contributed to by circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control. Seller will in good faith endeavor to ship Products or perform services by the estimated date. Seller shall have the right to make partial shipments. All changes in specifications or the shipping or performance date requested by Customer will only be effective if set forth in a writing signed by the parties, and where such changes affect Seller’s time or cost of performance, an equitable adjustment in estimated shipping/performance date or purchase price, or both, will be made. If no packaging, loading or bracing requirements are stated, Seller will comply with minimum specifications for the method of transportation specified. If no method of transportation is specified, shipment will be by a reasonable method of transportation determined by Seller in its sole discretion.

8. Customer shall promptly submit all claims for shortages in writing to Seller once Customer receives the Products; otherwise such claims shall be waived. Quantities are subject to normal manufacturer allowances. In the case of wire and cable, such allowances are plus 10% and minus 5%. The purchase price for Products will equal the unit price multiplied by the quantity shipped.

9. Seller is a reseller of Products only, and as such does not provide any warranty for the Products it supplies hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller hereby transfers and assigns any and all transferable warranties made to Seller by the manufacturer of the Products and any intellectual property indemnity from the manufacturer of such Products to Customer. Customer will inspect the Products upon delivery and will, within 10 business days of delivery, notify Seller in writing of any defect in the Products so that Seller may place the Product manufacturers on notice of the same, otherwise such Products will be considered accepted.
