Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions

  1. Sale of Goods
    1. Seller will perform the services or supply the goods (collectively referred to as “Goods”) as described and at the prices specified on the Purchase Order.
    2. To purchase Goods, Buyer will issue a purchase order to Seller (“Purchase Order”). Seller must accept the Purchase Order on its exact terms. The Purchase Order supersedes all prior bids, quotes or forms.
    3. The Purchase Order constitutes an offer by Buyer to purchase the Goods from the Seller subject to these terms. The Purchase Order will be accepted by the Seller expressly by phone, fax, e-mail, mail or electronic means. Delivery of the Goods by Seller or performance of services will be deemed conclusive evidence of acceptance of these terms.
    4. Buyer reserves the right to revoke or terminate, in whole or in part from time to time, any Purchase Order at any time before acceptance. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller will immediately discontinue work on the Purchase Order, unless such notice otherwise directs. Seller will deliver to Buyer and Buyer will pay for all completed Goods up to the date of notice of termination. The provisions of this paragraph will not limit or affect Buyer’s right to terminate a Purchase Order upon default of Seller.
    5. Seller will not substitute materials or accessories without Buyer’s written permission. Unless otherwise stated, no deviation from the quantities specified will be accepted. Buyer’s count will be accepted as final on all shipments. Excess Goods shipped without Buyer’s permission may be returned at Seller’s expense, including transportation both ways and all handling charges.
  1. Delivery Terms
    1. Shipments must be made to meet the date specified in the Purchase Order. The Goods will be delivered no earlier and no later than the date set forth in the Purchase Order, using the carrier and shipper number or other delivery method provided by Buyer in the Purchase Order. No additional charge for deviation will be paid unless Buyer’s pre-approval has been obtained. Buyer may reject early shipments without prejudice to its right to require timely shipment or may accept said early shipments; provided, however, that Buyer reserves the right to withhold payment on premature shipments until the agreed delivery date.
    2. In the event a Purchase Order is not performed or delivery is not made by the time specified, Buyer may terminate the Purchase Order and/or this Agreement. In the event a Purchase Order requires delivery or performance at different times or places, and any such performance or delivery is not made by the time specified, Buyer may cancel said delivery or performance while retaining the remainder of the order in full force and effect, or may cancel that entire order.
    3. The Seller assumes all risk of loss or damage to all articles ordered (and other materials to be furnished by Seller) until the Goods are accepted by Buyer.
  1. Acceptance of Goods.
    1. The Goods ordered (including but not limited to all parts, material and workmanship) may be inspected and tested by Buyer at any time or place, and will be subject to a final inspection upon receipt by Buyer. If any such inspection or test indicates that the Goods or the Goods’ parts, material or workmanship do not conform with the Purchase Order, and Seller fails to immediately cure such non- conformity, such nonconformance will be deemed a breach by Seller. Payment for Goods of any order prior to inspection will not constitute acceptance thereof and is without prejudice to any and all claims that

Buyer may have against Seller.

3.2. Acceptance of Goods will not waive Buyer’s right either to cancel or to return the Goods (or portion thereof) because of nonconformance with specifications; defects, latent or patent; or breach of warranty. Failure by Buyer to reject nonconforming Goods will not require Buyer to accept subsequent Goods if they have the same or any different nonconformance.

  1. Payment Terms.
    1. Supplier will issue accurate monthly invoices to Buyer for Goods. Buyer will pay accurate invoices within thirty days of receipt of the invoice. No interest will be due on late payments unless there has been prior written agreement of the parties providing for such payment. Buyer will have the option of payment with invoices with a credit card, at which time the Purchase Order will reflect those terms.
    2. Buyer will be entitled to set off any amount owing to Buyer against any amount due or owing to Seller with respect to any invoice, provided that both parties agree that there is an outstanding amount owed.
  1. Warranties
