These Standard Terms and Conditions and any Specific Terms and Conditions and any descriptions, prices, dates and quantities set out on the Company’s Quotation, Invoice, and Order Acknowledgement stamp or form (all of which are herein referred to as “COMPANY’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS”) constitute the complete and exclusive expression of the entire agreement between COMPANY and Purchaser and there are no other agreements or understandings. All provision are severable. All oral expressions between the Purchaser and COMPANY not set forth in this writing are not part of the agreement.
All modifications and amendments to this agreement must be in writing and signed by both Purchaser and COMPANY. It is understood that changes in design or delivery may increase the price and may cause a delay in the time required for performance.
Acceptance of an order is made by COMPANY only by the issuance of its completed and signed Order Acknowledgement stamp or form. Acceptance by COMPANY of Purchaser’s order is expressly made conditional on assent to COMPANY’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS, either by written acknowledgement or by conduct by Purchaser that recognizes the existence of a contract with respect to the goods described on COMPANY’s Order Acknowledgement stamp or form. These Standard Terms and Condition also serve as notice of COMPANY’s objection to and rejection of any terms and conditions of purchase or sale included in Purchaser’s purchase order or other writing that are different from or additional to COMPANY’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS and any such other terms and conditions are not part of the contract unless specifically assented to in writing by COMPANY.

Purchaser agrees that if the goods tendered under this contract are accepted, such acceptance satisfies all of COMPANY’s obligations and after acceptance Purchaser shall have no claim of any kind against COMPANY including, but not limited to, claims for dimensional or finish variations.
Unless otherwise stated, parts will be of general commercial quality. Some dimensional variance from design specifications is expected. Parts shall be deemed acceptable if they are made to, and are unchanged from approved samples with respect to dimensional variations from the original specifications.
COMPANY warrants that the goods covered by this contract will conform to the design specifications that have been provided by the Purchaser and accepted by the COMPANY. COMPANY does not warrant the performance of any material specified by Purchaser. The supply of a sample or model by COMPANY does not create any warranty that the goods will conform to the sample or model and any such sample or model is not intended to represent performance, function or condition of the goods to be sold. COMPANY’s warranty will apply only to the goods found by COMPANY to be nonconforming within thirty (30) days of receipt by Purchaser and for which a claim is made by Purchaser in accordance with these Standard Terms and Conditions.

Any description of the goods made by COMPANY does not create an express warranty from that provided in this paragraph.
THE WARRANTY STATED IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS SOLD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; THERE IS NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Certification by COMPANY by separate writing as to compliance with specifications, blueprints, part numbers, materials, quantity, tests or otherwise will not create any warranty by or other obligation of COMPANY.
IN THE EVENT OF COMPANY’S LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE LIMITED TO, AT COMPANY’S OPTION, THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT (F.O.B. PURCHASER’S PLANT) BY COMPANY OF ANY NONCONFORMING GOODS FOR WHICH CLAIM IS MADE BY PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OR TO THE REPAYMENT OF THE PORTION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE NONCONFORMING ITEM. COMPANY’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER FOR ANY NONCONFORMING GOODS. COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR OTHER COSTS OR CHARGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, PRODUCTION DOWN TIME, FIELD REPLACEMENT COSTS OR REWORK CHARGES) OR FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, EITHER DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHERWISE.

Terms of payment are effective from the actual date of invoice. Unless otherwise stated as part of COMPANY’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS, payment in full is due within 30 days of invoice.

The amount of all finance charges will be added to the balance owed to COMPANY. If Purchaser fails to pay any invoice when due, or if the financial condition or credit of Purchaser becomes unsatisfactory to COMPANY, COMPANY, at its option and without affecting any other lawful remedy, may change the terms of payment or suspend work and further deliveries, or both, until Purchaser provides security or other assurances of performance as demanded by COMPANY. The failure or refusal of Purchaser to provide assurances within ten (10) days after a request by COMPANY will constitute a repudiation of the entire contract.

In the event of Purchaser’s default in payment or any other breach of the agreement, COMPANY or its legal representative may, to the extent permitted by law, enter Purchaser’s premises and may dismantle, repossess and remove any goods sold under the agreement, including goods that might have become fixtures.
