The Order, together with any documents incorporated herein or therein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Order, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter of the Order. The Order expressly limits Seller’s acceptance to the terms of the Order. These Terms prevail over any terms or conditions contained in any other documentation and expressly exclude any of Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale or any other document issued by Seller in connection with this Order.
-
These Terms apply to any repaired or replacement Goods provided by Seller hereunder.

Buyer is not obligated to any minimum purchase or future purchase obligations under this Order.
Acceptance
This Order is not binding on Buyer until Seller accepts the Order in writing. If Seller does not accept the Order in writing within 10 days of Seller’s receipt of the Order, this Order will lapse. Buyer may withdraw the Order at any time before it is accepted by Seller.
Delivery Date
Seller shall deliver the Goods in the quantities and on the date(s) specified in the Order, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties (the "Delivery Date"). Timely delivery of the Goods is of the essence. If Seller fails to deliver the Goods in full on the Delivery Date, Buyer may terminate the Order immediately by providing written notice to Seller and Seller shall indemnify Buyer against any losses, claims, damages, and reasonable costs and expenses attributable to Seller’s failure to deliver the Goods on the Delivery Date. [Buyer has the right to return any Goods delivered prior to the Delivery Date at Seller's expense and Seller shall redeliver such Goods on the Delivery Date.]
Quantity
Other than as may be set forth in a separate agreement between Buyer and Seller, if Seller delivers a quantity of Goods that varies by more than 10% from the quantity ordered, Buyer may reject all or any Goods, including without limitation all or any excess Goods. Any such rejected Goods shall be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense. If Buyer does not reject the Goods and instead accepts the delivery of Goods at the increased or reduced quantity, the Price for the Goods shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis.
Delivery Location
All Goods shall be delivered to the address specified in the Order (the "Delivery Location") during normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by Buyer.

Amendment and Modification
No change to an Order is binding upon Buyer unless it is in writing, specifically states that it amends the specific Order and is signed by an authorized representative of Buyer.
Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods
Buyer has the right to inspect the Goods within 10 days of the Delivery Date (“Acceptance”). Buyer, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods if it determines the Goods are nonconforming or defective. If Buyer rejects any portion of the Goods, Buyer has the right, effective upon written notice to Seller, to:
- rescind the Order in its entirety;
- accept the Goods at a reasonably reduced price; or
- rescind the Order in its entirety;
- reject the Goods and require replacement of the rejected Goods. If Buyer requires replacement of the Goods, Seller shall, at its expense, within a commercially reasonable period replace the nonconforming Goods and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective Goods and the delivery of replacement Goods. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement Goods, Buyer may replace them with goods from a third party and charge Seller the cost thereof and terminate this Order for cause pursuant to Section 21. Any inspection or other action by Buyer under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Order, and Buyer shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
Price
The price of the Goods is the price stated in the Order (the “Price”). If no price is included in the Order, the Price shall be the price set out in Seller’s published price list in force as of the date of the Order, or such price as may have been agreed upon previously between Buyer and Seller. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Price includes all packaging, transportation costs to the Delivery Location, insurance, customs duties, and fees and applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, use, or excise taxes. No increase in the Price is effective, whether due to increased material, labor, or transportation costs or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Buyer.
Most Favored Customer
Seller represents and warrants that the price for the Goods is the lowest price charged by Seller to any of its external buyers for similar volumes of similar Goods. If Seller charges any other buyer a lower price, Seller hereby agrees to apply that price to all Goods under this Order. If Seller fails to meet the lower price, Buyer, at its option, may terminate this Order without liability pursuant to Section 21.
Payment Terms
Seller shall issue an invoice to Buyer on or any time after the completion of delivery of the Goods and only in accordance with these Terms. Buyer shall pay all properly invoiced amounts due to Seller within 45 days after Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, except for any amounts disputed by Buyer in good faith. All payments hereunder shall be in U.S. dollars and made by wire, check or ACH as determined by Buyer in its discretion. In the event of a payment dispute, Buyer shall deliver a written statement to Seller no later than the date payment is due on the disputed invoice, listing all disputed items and providing a reasonably detailed description of each disputed item. Amounts not so disputed are deemed accepted and shall be paid, notwithstanding disputes on other items, within the period set forth in this Section 14. The parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing its obligations under the Order notwithstanding any such dispute.

The Commercial General Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance policies will include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Buyer.
