GENERAL
1. Any Company quotation is not an offer to sell Goods. All purchase orders by Customer for the purchase of Goods from Company, if accepted by Company in its sole discretion, will be accepted subject to these Terms.
  
  DIFFERENT OR ADDITIONAL TERMS PROPOSED BY CUSTOMER ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S PURCHASE ORDER FORMS OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE PURCHASE OF GOODS (OR ANY SERVICES) HEREUNDER, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY REJECTED, AND SHALL NOT BECOME A PART OF THE CONTRACT. COMPANY’S AGREEMENT TO SELL GOODS (OR ANY SERVICES) TO CUSTOMER IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE ORDER, THESE TERMS, AND, IF APPLICABLE, A WRITTEN AND SIGNED OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND COMPANY TO WHICH THESE TERMS ARE ATTACHED OR INCORPORATED OR IN WHICH THESE TERMS ARE REFERENCED AS APPLYING.
  
  In the event of an unavoidable conflict, these Terms shall prevail, followed by any Other Agreement with Terms, followed by the applicable Order.
2. If, subsequent to the Contract, any other sale is concluded with the same Customer by exchange of emails, electronically, or orally, or by any combination of these, without express reference to these Terms, these Terms shall apply unless expressly modified in a writing signed by both Company and Customer.
3. Any statement or representation by Company or its employees or agents upon which Customer intends to rely must be confirmed in a writing that is signed by both parties. Any statement or representation which is not so confirmed in a writing is followed or acted upon entirely at Customer’s own risk. For the avoidance of doubt, illustrations, weights, measures, performance capabilities, application suitability information, and other information set out in the sales literature of Company are statements of opinion, are provided for general information purposes only, and form no part of the Contract.
4. All quotations shall automatically expire on the expiration date listed in the quotation, if any, but in no event later than sixty (60) days from issuance, and are subject to Company’s withdrawal by written or oral notice to Customer at any time.
5. Any oral, telephone, or email Customer requests to Company for purchasing Goods (or any Services) are at Customer’s sole risk and must be confirmed in writing received by Company within 72 hours. For clarification, no Order shall be deemed to have been accepted by Company until written acknowledgement of Company’s acceptance or Company’s other indication of agreement is received by Customer from Company.
6. No Order which has been accepted by Company may be cancelled by Customer except with the agreement in writing of Company, and Customer assumes liability for and shall indemnify Company in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labor and materials used), damages, charges, and expenses incurred by Company as a result of cancellation.
7. Company may cancel an Order at any time by serving notice in writing on Customer if Company does not receive, on request, satisfactory (in Company’s sole opinion) credit references in relation to Customer. If Company cancels an Order pursuant to this Section, it shall have no liability whatsoever for any liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or expenses whatsoever incurred, suffered, or paid by Customer as a result of or in connection with such cancellation.
PRICES
1. In the supply of Goods, prices do not include the cost of delivery or of any import or customs duties or any other applicable taxes or governmental impositions unless otherwise stated in writing by Company, which costs, taxes, impositions, and duties shall be the sole responsibility of Customer. All prices are subject to the addition of any applicable sales tax.
2. Company reserves the right, at any time prior to Delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to Company which is due to any factor beyond the control of Company (including, but not limited to, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labor, materials, or any other costs of manufacture); any change in Delivery dates, quantities, or specifications for the Goods which is requested by Customer; or any delay caused by any instructions of Customer or failure of Customer to give Company adequate information or instructions.
PAYMENT
1. Subject to Section 4.2 below, payment of the price for the Goods is due in U.S. Dollars in cash, wire, or ACH funds no later than thirty (30) days following Delivery of the Goods, unless otherwise agreed in writing. (As to any Services, Customer shall pay Company amounts due within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, unless another period of time is indicated in an invoice or is mutually agreed to in writing.)
2. If Customer wrongfully fails to take Delivery of the Goods, Company is still entitled to invoice Customer for the price, including after Company has tendered such Delivery.
3. No payment shall be deemed to have been received by Company until Company has received cleared funds.
4. In the event of default in payment by Customer, Company shall be entitled (without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have under these Terms or otherwise) to charge interest on a daily basis (after as well as before judgment) on any amount outstanding at the annual rate of four percent (4%) above the prime rate published by JPMorgan Chase Bank from time to time.
5. In the event of any dispute, Customer shall not be entitled to withhold payment of the price of the Goods or any agreed payments or to any right of set-off, deduction, counterclaim, abatement, or otherwise against any payment due to Company under any Contract.
6. In respect of Goods sold for export, unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment shall be made (a) by irrevocable letter of credit confirmed with a clearing bank approved by Company and (b) prior to manufacture / fabrication.
7. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
8. All payments payable to Company under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination.
DELIVERY
1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company, delivery shall be deemed to take place when the Goods are made available by Company at the Delivery Point, for collection by Customer or its carrier (“Delivery”), subject to Section 6.2.
2. Any and all dates and periods specified by Company for Delivery are estimates only and do not constitute fixed times for Delivery. Delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract and shall not be made of the essence by notice. Company shall have no liability for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses whatsoever or in connection with the failure by Company to meet any Delivery times specified in the Order. Customer shall have no right to cancel an Order for a failure of Company to meet any Delivery times.
3. Company will endeavor to comply with any reasonable request by Customer for postponement of Delivery but shall be under no obligation to do so, and Customer is obliged to take Delivery at such date and time as specified by Company. Where postponement is agreed to by Company in writing, Customer shall, if required, pay all costs and expenses, including a reasonable charge for storage occasioned thereby and any costs incurred by Company in relation to any insurance payments reasonably made by Company. Company reserves the right to deliver the Goods to Customer in installments. Where the Goods are delivered in installments, each Delivery shall constitute a separate contract, and failure by Company to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these Terms or any claim by Customer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
4. The date for Delivery shall in every case be dependent upon prompt receipt by Company of all necessary information, final instructions, and approvals from Customer.
5. If Customer is ordering Goods for Delivery outside of the country of manufacture by Company, such Goods may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the Goods reach the specified destination. Customer will be responsible for payment of such import duties and taxes. Customer will comply with all laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined, and Company will not be liable for any breach of those laws.
6. Customer shall (and shall ensure that its customers, sub-contractors, agents, and end users of the Goods shall):
  - observe the work rules and safety regulations of Company while on Company’s premises;
  - strictly follow all instructions and installation materials related to the Goods and not make any alteration, modification, or addition to the Goods or packaging (and any alteration of the Goods, or use of non-approved parts, products, or packaging with the Goods, shall be a material breach of these Terms and voids any warranties made by Company for the Goods);
  - ensure that the Goods are used only by personnel who have been appropriately trained (as applicable) in the use of the Goods; and
  - inspect the Goods upon receipt and notify Company within 48hrs of any defects it may find with the Goods and agrees not to place any defective Goods into service or sell / hire / provide any defective Goods to its customers, sub-contractors, agents, and end users of the Goods.
RISK AND TITLE
1. Title to the Goods will pass to Customer upon Company’s Delivery of the Goods.
2. Unless otherwise agreed between Company and Customer in writing, risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to Customer upon Delivery. When Goods are transported by Company’s own vehicles (to a Delivery Point that is not Company’s address), Delivery shall be deemed to take place at the moment the Goods are lifted from Company’s vehicle.
3. No claim for Goods damaged in transit will be considered by Company unless Company used its own transport for Delivery and unless:
  - an appropriately qualified signature, e.g. “Goods received damaged, (signed)” is clearly made by Customer on the delivery note;
  - Company is advised in writing per motor carrier rules; or
  - Company is advised in writing within three (3) days of Delivery.
4. No allowance for claims for short deliveries will be made unless (a) notice is provided to Company within three (3) days of Delivery and (b) Company is given an opportunity to verify the same.
5. For the avoidance of doubt, where Customer collects the Goods from the Delivery Point or where a third party collects the Goods for transport to Customer, Company shall have no liability to Customer for any Goods damaged in transit.
