CUSTOMER'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Seller desires to provide its Customers with prompt and
efficient service. However, to negotiate individually the terms and
conditions of each sales contract would substantially impair Seller's
ability to provide such service. Accordingly, Products and services
furnished by Seller are sold only on the terms and conditions stated
herein. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions on Customer's order,
Seller's performance of any contract is expressly made conditional
on Customer's agreement to Seller's Terms and Conditions of Sale
unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Seller. In
the absence of such agreement, commencement of performance and/or
delivery shall be for Customer's convenience only and shall not be
deemed or construed to be acceptance of any of Customer's terms and
conditions. If a contract is not earlier formed by mutual agreement
in writing, acceptance of any Product or service shall be deemed
acceptance of the terms and conditions stated herein.
QUOTATIONS
AND PRICES
All quotations are subject to the terms and conditions
stated herein as well as any additional terms and conditions that
may appear on the face hereof. In the case of a conflict between
the terms and conditions stated herein and those appearing on the
face hereof, the latter shall control. Seller's prices and quotation
are subject to the following:
- (a) All published prices are subject
to change without notice.
- (b) UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING,
ALL QUOTATIONS ARE FIRM FOR AND EXPIRE, THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER
DATE THEREOF AND CONSTITUTE OFFERS.
- (c) Unless otherwise stated in writing
by Seller, all prices quoted shall be exclusive of transportation,
insurance, taxes, license fees, customs fees, duties and other
charges, premiums, and fees related thereto, and shall hold Seller
harmless therefrom, provided that, if Seller, in its sole discretion,
chooses to make any such payment, Customer shall reimburse Seller
in full upon demand.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Unless credit is granted, payment is
due upon delivery. All payments for Products released and shipped
on approved credit accounts shall be due in full thirty (30) days
from date of invoice therefor. Past due balances shall be subject
to a service charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum), but not more
than the amounts allowed by law. Seller may cancel or delay delivery
of Products in the event Customer fails to make prompt payment.
TRANSPORTATION
AND RISK OF LOSS
Transportation will normally follow Customer's shipping
instructions, but Seller reserves the right to ship Products freight
collect and to select the means of transportation and routing when
Customer's instructions are deemed unsuitable. Unless otherwise advised,
Seller may insure to full value of the Products or declare full value
thereof to the transportation company at the time of delivery and
all freight and insurance costs shall be for Customer's account.
Risk of loss or damage shall pass to Customer upon delivery of the
Products to the transportation company at the EXW point, whether
or not installation is provided by or under supervision of Seller.
Confiscation or destruction of, or damage to Products shall remain
in Customer until the Products are returned at Customer's expenses
to such place as Seller may designate in writing. Customer, at its
expense, shall fully insure Products against all loss or damage until
Seller has been paid in full therefor, or the Products have been
returned, for whatever reason, to Seller. All Products must be inspected
upon receipt and claims should be filed with the transportation company
when there is evidence of shipping damage, either concealed or external.
As used in the clauses appearing herein or attached hereto, "delivery" shall
occur when the Product is delivered at the EXW point, which shall
be the point of manufacture or such other place as Seller shall specify
in writing, notwithstanding installation by or under supervision
of Seller.
PERFORMANCE
Seller will make all reasonable efforts to
observe its dates indicated for delivery or other performance. However,
Seller shall not be liable in any way because of any delay in performance
hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or to cause beyond its
control, including, without limitation, strike, lockout, war, fire,
act of God, accident, failure or breakdown of components necessary
to order completion, subcontractor, supplier of Customer caused delays,
inability to obtain labor, materials or manufacturing facilities,
or compliance with any law, regulation or order, whether valid or
invalid, of any governmental body or any instrumentality thereof
whether now existing or hereafter created. Performance shall be deemed
suspended during and extended for such time as any such circumstances
or causes have been remedied, after which Seller will make and Customer
shall accept performance hereunder. No penalty clause of any kind
shall be effective. As used herein, "performance" shall
include, without limitation, fabrication, shipment, delivery, assembly,
installation, testing and warranty repair or replacement as applicable.
ACCEPTANCE
Seller reserves the right to ship order complete with
yield quantities plus or minus five percent (5%). Justified reject
parts within yield quantity limits shall be credited to Customer
account and not be replaced unless reordered. Each Product furnished
by Seller shall be deemed accepted by Customer unless notice of defect
or nonconformity is received within ten (10) days of delivery thereof,
provided that Products for which Seller agrees in writing to provide
installation by its personnel, shall be deemed accepted by Customer
upon completion by Seller of its applicable acceptance tests or execution
of Seller's acceptance form by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
use of any such Product by Customer, its agents, employees or licensees,
for any purpose after delivery thereof, shall constitute acceptance
of the Product by Customer.
TERMINATIONS/RESCHEDULES
Termination
and reschedule provisions shall be in accordance with Seller's standard
practices and procedures unless otherwise specified by mutual agreement.
QUALITY
ASSURANCE
Quality assurance provisions applicable to the Product(s)
specified herein shall be in accordance with Seller's standard practices
and procedures unless otherwise specified by mutual agreement.
WARRANTY
Seller warrants to the original purchaser that
each Product delivered shall be free from defects in material or
workmanship at time of shipment, and that each Product delivered
will meet the published specifications for that Product or any contractually
agreed upon specifications. Seller's obligation under the Warranty
contained herein is limited to the repairing or replacing of any
Product that does not meet this Warranty, provided that said Product
is returned to Seller, transportation charges pre-paid, and provided
that upon Seller's examination, the Product, when tested within the
specified ratings and in accordance with good engineering practice,
does not meet the Warranty contained herein. This Warranty does not
extend to any of the Seller's Products which have been subject to
misuse, neglect, or accident, nor shall it extend to material which
has been altered or repaired outside of Seller's factory. THIS WARRANTY
IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE WARRANTY
OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND OF ANY OTHER LIABILITY OR
OBLIGATION.
WARRANTY REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
All claims under
warranty must be made promptly, in writing, after occurrence of circumstances
giving rise thereto, and must be received within the applicable warranty
period by Seller or its authorized representative. Such claims should
include the Product type and serial numbers and a full description
of the circumstances giving rise to the claim. Before any Products
are returned for repair and/or adjustment, written authorization
from Seller or its authorized representative for the return and instructions
as to how and where these Products should be shipped must be obtained.
Any Product returned to Seller for examination shall be sent prepaid
via the means of transportation indicated as acceptable by Seller.
Seller reserves the right to reject any warranty claim not promptly
reported and any warranty claim on any item that has been altered
or has been shipped by non-acceptable means of transportation. When
any Product is returned for examination and inspection, or for any
other reason, Customer will be responsible for all damage resulting
from improper packing or handling and for loss in transit, notwithstanding
any defect or nonconformity in the Product. In all cases Seller has
sole responsibility for determining the cause and nature of failure,
and Seller's determination with regard thereto shall be final. If
it is found that Seller's Product has been returned without cause
and is still serviceable, Customer will be notified and the Product
returned at its expense, in addition, a charge for testing and examination
may, in Seller's sole discretion, be made on Products so returned.
DAMAGES
AND LIABILITY
SELLER'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
PAYMENT, IF ANY, RECEIVED BY SELLER FOR THE UNIT OF PRODUCT OR SERVICE
FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED AS THE CASE MAY BE WHICH IS THE SUBJECT
OF CLAIM OR DISPUTE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES. LIABILITY TO THIRD PARTIES, FOR
BODILY INJURY INCLUDING DEATH, RESULTING FROM SELLER'S PERFORMANCE
SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND THE TOTAL
LIABILITY LIMITATION STATED ABOVE SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A LIMITATION
ON SELLER FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY SUCH BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.
DISPUTES
All disputes under any contract concerning Products,
not otherwise resolved between Seller and Customer, shall be resolved
using California law in a court of competent jurisdiction in San
Diego County, California, and in no other place. However, in Seller's
sole discretion such action may be heard in some other place designated
by Seller (if necessary to acquire jurisdiction over third persons),
so that the dispute can be resolved in one action. Customer hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of such court or courts and agrees to
appear in any such action upon written notice thereof. No action,
regardless of form, arising out of, or in any way connected with
the Products or services furnished by Seller, may be brought by Customer
more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued. In
any dispute arising out of Customer's failure to pay for Seller's
goods and services as provided herein, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs, including
those incurred for the purpose of enforcing a judgment. If any part
of the terms and conditions stated herein is held void or unenforceable,
such part will be treated as severable, leaving valid the remainder
of the terms and conditions notwithstanding the part or parts found
void or unenforceable.
