1.    ACCEPTANCE AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS:  Seller accepts this Order and any amendments by signing the acceptance copy and returning it to Purchaser promptly.  Even without such written acknowledgment, Seller’s full or partial performance under this Order will constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions.  By acceptance of this Order, Seller agrees to be bound by, and to comply with all the terms and conditions of this Order, which includes any supplements to it, and all specifications and other documents referred to in this Order. These terms and conditions apply to everything listed in this Order and constitute Purchaser’s offer to Seller, which Purchaser may revoke at any time before Seller accepts it.  This Order is not an acceptance by Purchaser of any offer to sell, any quotation, or any proposal.  Reference in this Order to any such offer to sell, quotation, or proposal will not constitute a modification of any of these terms and conditions.  Terms and conditions different from or in addition to these terms and conditions, whether contained in any acknowledgment of this Order, or with delivery of any goods or services under this Order, or otherwise, will not be binding on Purchaser, whether or not they would materially alter this Order, and Purchaser hereby rejects them.  These terms and conditions may be modified only by a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of Purchaser and Seller.

2.    DEFAULT:  Time is of the essence of this Order.  Purchaser may by written notice of default to Seller (a) terminate all or any part of this Order in any one of the following circumstances:  (i) if Seller fails to perform within the time specified herein or any extensions agreed to by Purchaser in writing; or (ii) if Seller fails to perform any of the other provisions of this Order, or so fails to make progress as to endanger performance of this Order in accordance with its terms, and in the circumstances set out in clause (ii) does not cure such failure within a period of ten (10) days (or such longer period as Purchaser may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from Purchaser specifying such failure; and (b) procure, on such terms as it will deem appropriate, goods or services similar to those so terminated.  Seller will continue performance of this Order to the extent not terminated and will be liable to Purchaser for any excess costs for such similar goods or services.  As an alternate remedy, and in lieu of termination for default, Purchaser, at its sole discretion, may elect to extend the delivery schedule and/or waive other deficiencies in Seller’s performance, in which case an equitable reduction in the Order price will be negotiated.  If Seller for any reason anticipates difficulty in complying with the required delivery date, or in meeting any of the other requirements of this Order, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser in writing.  If Seller does not comply with Purchaser’s delivery schedule, Purchaser may require delivery by fastest way and charges resulting from the premium transportation must be fully prepaid and absorbed by Seller.  The rights and remedies of Purchaser provided in this Section 2 will not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, by law, at equity or under this Order.

3.     PRICE:  This Order must not be filled at a price higher than shown on the face of the Order.  If no price is set forth on the front of the Order, the goods or services will be billed at the price last quoted or at the prevailing market price, whichever is lower, and, in any event, goods and services ordered under this Order will not be billed at a higher price than last quoted or charged without Purchaser’s specific written authorization.  Purchaser will be entitled at all times to set off any amount owed at any time by Seller or any of its affiliates to Purchaser or any of its affiliates against any amount payable at any time by Purchaser in connection with this Order. No extra charges of any kind will be allowed unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Purchaser. All applicable taxes arising out of transactions contemplated by the Order will be borne by Seller except as otherwise specified by the parties in writing.  Seller warrants to Purchaser that the prices for the goods or services sold to Purchaser under this Order are not less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or similar goods and/or services in equal or less quantities.  If Seller reduces its prices for such goods and/or services during the term of this Order, Seller shall correspondingly reduce the prices of goods and/or services sold thereafter to Purchaser under this Order.

4.    INVOICES AND PAYMENT:  Invoices shall be rendered in duplicate and shall contain the Purchase Order Number, item number, description of goods or services, quantities, unit prices, and total purchase price. All taxes shall be stated separately. Payment shall be made on the terms of 3 % 30 days, net 60 days. Cash discount periods shall be computed from either the date of actual delivery of the goods or the date an acceptable invoice is received, whichever is later. All claims for money due or to become due from Purchaser shall be subject to deduction by Purchaser for any setoff or counterclaim arising out of this or any other of Purchaser’s Orders with Seller.

5.    PACKAGING:  All goods must be packaged in the manner as specified by Purchaser and shipped in the manner and by the route and carrier designated by Purchaser.

6.    INSPECTION:  All goods and services will be subject to inspection and test by Purchaser and its customer at all times and places, including the period of manufacture and in any event prior to final acceptance. Final acceptance or rejection of the goods or services will be made as promptly as practical after delivery except as otherwise provided in this Order, but failure to inspect and accept or reject goods or services or failure to detect defects by inspection, will neither relieve Seller from responsibility for such goods or services as are not in accordance with this Order nor impose liabilities on Purchaser for them.  Purchaser’s payment for the goods shall not constitute its acceptance of the goods. Goods rejected and goods supplied in excess of quantities ordered may be returned to the Seller at its expense. Payment, if any, made for any good rejected hereunder shall be promptly refunded by Seller.  Seller will provide and maintain an inspection and process control system acceptable to Purchaser and its customer covering the goods and services ordered.  Records of all inspection work by Seller will be kept complete and available to Purchaser and its customer during the performance of this Order and for seven (7) years after Seller’s completion of this Order.  If any of the goods or services are found at any time to be defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise not in conformity with the requirements of this Order, including any applicable drawings and specifications, then Purchaser, in addition to such other rights and remedies it may have by contract or by law or equity, at its sole discretion may reject and return such goods at Seller’s expense, require Seller to inspect the goods and remove nonconforming goods and/or require Seller to replace nonconforming goods or services with conforming goods or services.  If Seller fails to make the necessary inspection, removal and replacement in a time and manner satisfactory to Purchaser, Purchaser may at its option inspect and sort the goods; Seller will pay any related costs.

Seller shall replace or correct, at Purchaser’s option and at Seller’s cost, defects of any goods not conforming to these warranties. If Seller fails to correct defects in or replace nonconforming goods within ten (10) days from the date the Purchaser notifies Seller of the defect or defects, Purchaser may, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, either (i) make such corrections or replace such goods and charge Seller for all costs incurred by Purchaser, or (ii) revoke its acceptance of the goods in which event Seller shall be obligated to refund the purchase price and make all necessary arrangements, at Seller’s costs, for the return of the goods to Seller.

10.    CHANGES:  At all times Purchaser will have the right to make changes to this Order, including changes to drawings, designs, configurations, specifications, quantities, methods of shipment or packing and delivery schedules or locations of delivery.  If any such changes cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for the performance of any work under this Order, an equitable adjustment will be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, and this Order will be modified in writing accordingly.  Nothing in this Section, including any disagreement with Purchaser as to any claimed adjustment, will excuse Seller from proceeding with this Order as changed.  Any claim by the Seller for adjustment under this Section 10 must be in a detailed writing and delivered to Purchaser within five (5) days after the date Seller receives notification of change.  Any change will be authorized only by a duly executed amendment to this Order.  Information, such as technical information or guidance provided to Seller by representatives of Purchaser, will not be construed as a change within the meaning of this Section.  If Seller considers that the conduct of any of Purchaser’s employees has constituted a change under this Order, Seller will immediately notify Purchaser’s Purchasing Department in writing as to the nature of the change and any proposed adjustment, which will then be subject to this Section 10.
