In such instances, Seller may require full or partial payment for Goods prior to shipment or commencement of the manufacturing process. Any delay resulting from a change in credit terms or delay in pre-payment by Buyer may result in a shipping delay, which delay will not subject Seller to any liability. Seller reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Buyer to provide letters of credit satisfactory to Seller prior to shipment of Goods.
e. Unless otherwise specified, prices for the Goods are in US dollars.
4. Taxes: Unless otherwise explicitly set forth in the Contract, Buyer’s price shall be exclusive of, and Buyer will bear and pay any and all applicable taxes, excise, impost, duty or charges of any other kind imposed by any taxing authority, with the exception of taxes imposed on Seller’s income, personnel, or personal property.

5. Payment Terms: Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods and all other invoiced amounts on net thirty (30) day terms, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in writing. Seller reserves the right to charge interest on all overdue balances, starting with the invoice date, at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month compounded until the date payment is received in full. Buyer agrees to pay, without offset, all invoiced amounts within the time set forth in the payment terms. Seller may change payment or credit terms for unfulfilled orders if, in Seller’s reasonable opinion, Buyer’s financial condition, previous payment record, or relationship with Seller merits such change.

6. Security Interest: Seller retains a security interest in the Goods until payment. Buyer shall execute any paperwork required by Seller to effectuate and perfect any such security interest.
7.

Shipping and Delivery: Unless mutually agreed by the Parties in an express writing addressing shipping and delivery, all shipping will be ex works (EXW) as that term is defined by INCOTERMS 2020, unless Seller is required to complete certain export procedures, in which case all shipments shall be FCA Seller’s facility. Delivery dates are approximate and not of the essence. Seller accepts no liability or responsibility for any delay in delivery or failure to deliver. Seller may, in its discretion and without any liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods. Each partial shipment will constitute a separate sale and Buyer shall pay for Goods shipped. If delays in shipments or delivery occur at the request of Buyer or as a result of Buyer’s failure to accept delivery of any of the Goods, or provide appropriate instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations for the Goods, then (a) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to the Buyer, if it has not already; (b) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (c) Seller, at its option, may store or arrange for storage of the Goods until Buyer picks them up, and Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses for such storage.

If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) permit return of the Nonconforming Goods in exchange for a credit or refund of the price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping costs incurred in the return. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship the replacement Goods to Buyer, subject to the shipping terms set forth in these Terms and Conditions. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this section are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.
10. Limited Warranty:
a. SELLER WARRANTS THAT THE GOODS SOLD UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT. The warranty set forth in this Section 3.a is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties. All other warranties are disclaimed pursuant to the Warranty Disclaimer set forth below. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Contract to the contrary, any warranty provided by Seller is contingent upon the proper use of the Goods by Buyer and does not cover any part of the Goods which has been modified without Seller’s prior written consent nor will the warranty apply to any part of the Goods that are damaged as a result of causes other than those in the ordinary course of business including, without limitation, accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, failure or fluctuation of electrical power, air conditioning, humidity control or other environmental conditions. Further, no warranty shall apply if Buyer fails to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to storage, installation, commissioning, use, or maintenance of the Goods. If no warranty is set forth in the Contract, then Seller disclaims all warranties pursuant to the Warranty Disclaimer set forth, below. All warranties provided hereunder extend only to the Buyer and no other person or entity.

WARRANTY AND CONDITIONS DISCLAIMER: EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR LIABILITIES, WHETHER IMPLIED BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11. Custom Goods: For Goods that are custom Goods to be manufactured to Buyer’s specifications, Buyer must provide all drawings and specifications requested by Seller. If Seller presents drawings to Buyer for approval, such approval must be provided in writing and manufacturing will not commence until such approval is provided.

12. Remedies and Limitations on Warranties:
a. Notice. Seller is not liable for a breach of warranty unless such breach is material and (i) Buyer provides written notice of the claimed breach of warranty (“Notice of Claimed Defect”) within ten (10) days after Buyer discovers, or should have discovered, the alleged breach; (ii) Seller reasonably verifies Buyer’s claim that the Goods fail to meet the warranty provided. Time is of the essence and Buyer’s failure to provide Notice of Claimed Defect of any alleged breach within the required time will release and discharge Seller from any obligation or liability for the breach of warranty. Seller shall not be liable for a breach of warranty if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of the Goods after giving Notice of Claimed Defect.
b. Remedy. If the conditions of Section 11.a are satisfied, Seller will, in its sole option, either (a) credit Buyer’s account for the purchase price paid for the Goods, excluding any taxes paid, (b) repair any defective Goods or (c) furnish replacement Goods. If required by Seller, the Goods alleged to be defective will be returned to Seller, at its direction and expense, for examination. If Seller discovers that any Goods so returned are not covered by warranty, Seller reserves the right to charge Buyer for all transportation costs and expenses incurred by Seller in examining, processing, or handling such Goods. The remedies set forth herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to Buyer.

14. Default or Delay: Seller will not be liable for any default or delay in the production or delivery of any Goods when such default or delay results either directly or indirectly from: (a) accidents to, or breakdowns or mechanical failure of, Seller’s plant machinery or equipment; strikes or other labor troubles or labor shortages; fire; flood; war; acts of the public enemy; acts of God; delays by any supplier; difficulties in obtaining raw materials; delays in transport or lack of transportation facilities; embargoes; shortages of, or reductions in, energy sources; priorities, allocations, limitations, restrictions or other acts required or requested by Federal, Provincial/State or local governments, or any subdivision, bureau or agency thereof; or (b) any other cause beyond the control of Seller.

17. Sanctions Status: Buyer represents and warrants that neither Buyer nor any of its subsidiaries, owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, or contractors (collectively “Buyer Entities”) are (i) the target of any executive orders or sanctions regulations administered by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or any decree, ordinance or legally binding order, rule or requirement of the United Nations or under the laws of the European Union (“EU”), or EU member State and any other state and/or authority related to trade sanctions, trade embargoes and other foreign trade controls, export controls, non-proliferation, anti-terrorism and similar laws (collectively, “Sanctions Regulations”); or (ii) included on any suspended, denied, debarred, or otherwise ineligible list published by the US or other applicable jurisdiction (collectively, the “Sanctions List”).

The award may be enforced by judgment or otherwise in any court having jurisdiction over the award or over the person or the assets of the owing party. Applications may be made to such court for judicial recognition of the award and/or an order of enforcement, as the case may be.
