TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS – USA LAW

 

1.1 ACCEPTANCE AND APPLICABILITY OF TERMS

(a) Acceptance, Terms and Conditions of Contract.

“Buyer” and “Seller” are the respective entities so identified in this Purchase Order, and the “Ordered Items” are those items (which may include both goods and services, including any components therein) that Buyer offers to purchase from Seller by delivery of this Purchase Order. The terms and conditions of this Purchase Order are the only terms that govern the purchase of the Ordered Items by Buyer from Seller. Except as provided in Section 1(e) hereof, the Purchase Order and these terms comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreement, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the purchase and sale of the Ordered Items. These terms prevail over any of Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale regardless of whether or when Seller has submitted its sales confirmation of such terms.

(b) Purchase Order as an Offer.

If this Purchase Order constitutes an offer by Buyer to purchase the Ordered Items specified herein, Seller’s acceptance of such offer is subject to and expressly conditioned upon Seller’s consent to the terms and conditions specified herein. Seller shall indicate its acceptance of Buyer’s offer by verbal acceptance communicated to Buyer, by written acceptance of this Purchase Order received by Buyer, by Seller’s acceptance of payment from Buyer, by commencing work on this Purchase Order in any manner, expressly conditioned on notice of such commencement of work received by Buyer, or by Seller’s shipment of any Ordered Items to Buyer. If Buyer has not received Seller’s acceptance within ten days after the date of this Purchase Order, then Buyer may withdraw this offer without liability to Seller.

(c)Variance in Seller’s Acceptance.

Buyer objects to and rejects any attempt by Seller to vary in any degree any of the terms of the offer contained in this Purchase Order, or any proposal by Seller for additional or different terms. Any proposed terms by Seller that are different from or in addition to those contained in this Purchase Order shall be of no effect unless accepted in writing by Buyer. Any such proposal by Seller, if it includes variances in description, quantity, price or delivery schedule, shall operate as a rejection and counter-offer. Any other such proposal by Seller shall not operate as a rejection of this offer, but shall be deemed a material alteration thereof, and Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the offer contained in this Purchase Order without said additional or different terms if Seller ships any Ordered Item to Buyer.

(d)  Purchase Order as an Acceptance.

If this Purchase Order is construed as an acceptance of Seller’s offer, this acceptance is expressly conditioned on Seller’s assent to any additional or different terms contained in this Purchase Order. 

 (e) Other Agreements.

If the Parties have previously entered into a separate written agreement pertaining to  the purchase and sale of the Ordered Items that remains in effect, this Purchase Order is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Purchase Order and the terms and conditions of that agreement, the terms and conditions of that agreement shall prevail.

 

1.2 PRICE AND PAYMENT

(a) Invoices and Statements.

Unless otherwise agreed, Seller will send a separate invoice for each shipment of Ordered Items. The invoice must include the description, quantity and price of each Ordered Item shipped, and the number of this Purchase Order, including the release number if the shipment is against a blanket Purchase Order.

(b) Price.

If Seller's price for any Ordered Item is higher than the price stated in this Purchase Order for such item on the date of shipment, the Purchase Order price will prevail.

(c) “Most Favored Nation.”

Each invoice sent by Seller shall be deemed to certify that the prices for the Ordered Items are not less favorable than those currently extended to any other customer for the same or like articles in equal or lesser quantities. If Seller reduces its prices for such articles before this order is shipped, Seller will reduce the prices to Buyer correspondingly.

(d) Taxes.

Except as otherwise specifically agreed or as required by law, Seller will pay or assume all taxes imposed upon, or in connection with, the sale of the Ordered Items. If, under applicable law, Buyer is required to withhold any tax on payments to Seller, Buyer will deduct such amounts from the amounts owed under Seller's invoice and remit the applicable taxes withheld to the appropriate taxing authority. Upon request, Buyer will furnish Seller with the official receipt of payment of these taxes to the appropriate taxing authority.

(e) Set-off.

Any discount and late payment periods shall run from the later of (1) the date Buyer receives an acceptable invoice and (2) the date Buyer receives and accepts the Ordered Items. Buyer may offset any claims or amounts due to Seller under this Purchase Order or otherwise against any claims or amounts owed by Seller to Buyer by reason of this Purchase Order or otherwise.

 

1.3 SHIPPING, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

(a) Schedule.

Postponement by Buyer. Buyer may postpone delivery of any of the Ordered Items specified herein for up to one week (or the length of time, if any, indicated as a “Permissible Delay” elsewhere in this Purchase Order). Any material commitments or production arrangements in excess of the amount or in advance of  the time

necessary to meet ordered quantities and delivery schedules are made at Seller’s own risk.

Early Shipment. If Seller ships Ordered Items ahead of schedule so that Ordered Items are received by Buyer in excess of five (or in the case of international shipment, ten) working days prior to the scheduled date of receipt, Buyer reserves the right either (1) to return the Ordered Items to Seller at Seller's expense or (2) to extend the payment terms for the received Ordered Items by the number of days received early.

Delayed Shipment. If, at any time, it appears Seller may not meet the delivery schedule in this Purchase Order, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of the cause and estimated duration of any delay. Seller shall, upon request by Buyer, take all reasonable steps to prevent such delay (or such portion thereof as Buyer requires) by appropriate methods, including (without limitation) incurring expenditures for overtime and expedited shipment by air or other means of expedited transport. Any costs incurred by Seller to reduce or prevent such delay shall be borne solely by Seller, unless the delay in delivery arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Seller or its subcontractors within the meaning of Section 3.01(d) (“Termination for Default”). If because of such a delay by Seller, Buyer is required to obtain substitute items in order to satisfy the requirements of Buyer’s customer, then Seller shall be liable to Buyer for any resulting costs or damages, including without limitation the excess of the cost of such substitute items over the price under this Agreement, and any costs relating to expedited shipment made necessary by Seller’s delay.

(b) Quantity.

Except as otherwise specified or approved by Buyer in writing, Seller must ship exact quantities of Ordered Items specified in this Purchase Order. Notwithstanding any custom or practice to the contrary, Buyer is not required to receive or pay for any variance in the quantity of Ordered Items. Buyer may adjust Seller's invoice for over-shipment, shortage and rejection, or return excess shipments or under- shipments at Seller’s expense.

(c) Charges.

No charges of any kind, including without limitation charges for boxing, packaging, transportation, cartage, storage, or freight insurance, will be allowed unless agreed by Buyer in writing. Price based on weight shall be determined according to net weight of the Ordered Items without packaging, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer.

(d) Documentation.

Seller must deliver original bills of lading (or equivalent documents) to Buyer’s Purchasing Department or as otherwise directed by Buyer. In the case of a drop shipment to Buyer's customer, Seller shall send to Buyer two copies of the packing list at time of shipment.

(e) Packing and Shipping.

Seller shall pack, mark and ship all Ordered Items in accordance with the requirements of this Purchase Order, and all applicable transportation regulations. Subject to the preceding sentence, Seller shall ship freight collect using an account number provided by Buyer. Buyer will not be responsible for freight charges on any in-bound freight not using approved carriers. Any prepay and add charges will be deducted from invoices unless authorized by Buyer in writing, in advance of shipment. Any declared value for insurance will be charged back to the Seller. Any expense, damage or liability incurred by Buyer as a result of improper preservation, packing, packaging, marking 

 

or method of shipment for Ordered Items shall be reimbursed by Seller upon demand.

(f) Inspection.

                    (1) Ordered Items Subject to Inspection. All Ordered Items are subject to inspection and testing by Buyer or its designee at all times prior to shipment by Seller.

                    (2) Return of Rejected Ordered Items. If any Ordered Items are found to be defective in material or workmanship (including Ordered Items damaged because of unsatisfactory packaging by Seller), or otherwise not in strict conformity with the requirements of this Purchase Order, including drawings and specifications and approved samples, if any, then Buyer, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have under this Purchase Order or applicable law, has the right in its sole discretion to (a) reject and return such Ordered Items at Seller’s expense and to receive a full credit for any such rejected Ordered Items, (b) require correction or replacement of any such rejected Ordered Items without additional cost to Buyer, or

 

(c) retain and use the Ordered Items with an equitable reduction in purchase price. Rejected Ordered Items returned to Seller shall not be reshipped to Buyer without prior written authorization. Seller shall bear all risks as to rejected Ordered Items after notice of rejection. Payment shall not be deemed to constitute acceptance.

                    (3) Seller’s Quality Control System. Seller shall provide and maintain a quality control system acceptable to Buyer for Ordered Items.    Records of all inspection work by Seller shall be kept accurate and complete and available to Buyer during the performance of this Purchase Order and until final inspection and acceptance of the Ordered Item, and for any longer period of time required by law (including the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”) if applicable). Buyer’s exercise of the right of inspection shall not constitute or be deemed to be Buyer's acceptance of the Ordered Items. Buyer's acceptance of the Ordered Items shall not relieve Seller of any obligation with respect to any warranties or conditions, express or implied, with respect to the Ordered Items, and is without prejudice to Buyer's rights in the event of latent defects, fraud, or gross errors.

 

(g)  Title and Risk of Loss.

Seller shall not reserve title or a security interest in goods shipped to Buyer. Seller shall deliver the Ordered Items in accordance with the terms of shipment specified in the Purchase Order, and the risk of loss of the Ordered Items will transfer in accordance with such terms. Notwithstanding such terms of shipment, however, title to the Ordered Items will transfer from Seller to Buyer only upon receipt of the Ordered Items at Buyer’s facility (or, in the case of a consignment arrangement, upon Buyer’s use of the Ordered Items).

 

1.4 WARRANTY AND SERVICE

(a) Terms of Warranty.

Seller includes the following warranties and conditions with respect to all Ordered Items delivered under this Purchase Order, including packaging: The Ordered Items (1) will be merchantable, (2) will be of satisfactory quality, (3) will  be free from defects in workmanship and material, and in the case of software will  be free from disabling or malicious code, (4) will comply with the terms of this Purchase Order and all applicable specifications, performance criteria, drawings or samples, (5) will not contain asbestos in any form, and, (6) to the extent such items are not manufactured pursuant to detailed designs furnished by Buyer, will be free from defects in design and suitable for their intended use. Deliveries of valves and pressure components of valves must be in compliance with Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EG, if applicable. Buyer's approval of designs furnished by Seller or any approval of Seller's "First Article" shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under this warranty. The aforesaid warranties and conditions are in addition to all other warranties and conditions to which Buyer is entitled under this agreement or by law and do not constitute a waiver of any rights of Buyer, expressed or implied.

(b) Benefit of Warranty.

All of Seller's warranties are enforceable by Buyer, Buyer’s affiliates, successors and assigns, Buyer's customers and any subsequent owner or operator of the Ordered Items. Any inspection or acceptance of such Items by Buyer shall not be deemed to alter, waive, extinguish or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller or the rights of Buyer or any other beneficiary of any warranty.

(c) Duration of Warranty.

Unless otherwise documented in this Purchase Order or otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, all warranties and conditions shall run from the date of receipt and acceptance of the Ordered Items by Buyer for a period of three years.

(d) Remedies.

In the event of any breach of warranty or condition, Buyer, at its option, may require Seller (1) to replace the defective Ordered Items; (2) to correct such defect or failure in whole or in part; or (3) to provide an equitable reduction in the price. Such optional right of Buyer shall not be construed to negate, replace or limit, but is in addition to, any rights of Buyer arising under this agreement or at law.

 

1.5 LIABILITY

(a) Representations and Warranties.

Seller represents, warrants and covenants the Ordered Items, and Buyer's and Buyer’s customers use thereof, do not and will not infringe or violate any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, mask work right, or other proprietary right of others, and that Seller has, owns, will obtain, or has otherwise procured all right, title, and interest, including any necessary licenses, to the Ordered Items. Seller represents and warrants that in connection with its performance in manufacturing or otherwise supplying the Ordered Items hereunder, Seller will not infringe or violate any patent, copyright, trade secret, mask work right, or any other proprietary right of any third party.

(b) Indemnity.

Seller hereby agrees to and shall defend and indemnify, save and hold Buyer, its affiliates, agents, employees, customers, successors and assigns (“Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, demands, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or claimed to have arisen out of or in connection with or by reason of (i) any act or omission or any breach of representations, express or implied warranties or conditions by Seller, its affiliates, agents, employees, successors or assigns or (ii) the use or sale by Indemnitees of the Ordered Items; provided, however, Buyer shall notify Seller of any such suit, claim or demand and shall permit Seller to control the defense or settlement thereof. 

Seller shall indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from any losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses, including (without limitation) attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection therewith, which may be incurred on account of any actual or alleged infringement or violation of any applicable patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, mask work right, or other proprietary right of others, with respect to such Ordered Items. 

To the extent the Ordered Items are manufactured to specific design specifications provided by Buyer, this indemnity shall not apply to any alleged or actual infringement or violation arising from the Ordered Items when such infringement or violation is proximately caused by the Buyer’s specific design specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s specification requiring compliance with an industry standard shall not be considered a specific design specification provided by Buyer. 

 

(c)  Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

The remedies set forth in these Terms and Conditions are cumulative and additional to any other or further remedies provided by law. No failure by Buyer to exercise any of its rights hereunder and no partial or single exercise thereof shall constitute a waiver of such rights. No waiver by Buyer of any obligation or breach of any provision or provisions hereof shall constitute a waiver of any other obligation, past or future, hereunder or any recurring breach of this or any other Purchase Order.

 

(d)  Work on the Premises of Buyer or Buyer’s Customer.

If Seller’s work under this Purchase Order involves operations by Seller on the premises of Buyer or Buyer’s customer, Seller shall take all necessary precautions to prevent the occurrence of any injury to persons or damage to property during the progress of such work. Except to the extent that any such injury is due solely and directly to Buyer’s or its customer’s negligence, as the case may be, Seller shall defend and indemnify, save and hold Buyer and its customer, as the case may be, harmless from and against any and all suits, liabilities, demands, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for injuries to persons, loss of life or damage  to property arising out of or claimed to have arisen out of or in connection with or by reason of any act or omission of Seller, its affiliates, agents, employees or subcontractors, and Seller will protect Buyer or customer, as the case may be, from said risks and from any corresponding claims under any applicable law or regulation including workman’s compensation acts.

(e) Insurance.

Except as Buyer may otherwise agree, Seller will maintain insurance in such amount and scope as are adequate to cover its obligations under this Purchase Order, including: (i) Commercial General Liability for bodily injury and property damage including premises/operations, products/completed operations, property damage and contractual liability coverage, not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence; (ii) if applicable, Automobile Liability covering owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles with minimum limits of $1,000,000 combined single limit each occurrence; and (iii) if applicable, Worker’s Compensation insurance in accordance with the laws of the state with jurisdiction and Employer’s Liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000.. Buyer, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents will be named an additional insured on Seller’s Commercial General Liability policy (with respect to all products and services to be provided by Seller hereunder) and Automobile Liability (if applicable), and Seller’s insurance will be primary on behalf on behalf of the additional insureds and any policies of the additional insureds shall be non-

contributory. If Seller will have custody of tooling, test equipment, or other property belonging to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.02(b), Seller will maintain broad form property damage insurance naming Buyer as loss payee and insuring replacement value of property in the care, custody and control of Seller, as applicable. Prior to commencement of work, Seller will provide Buyer certificates of insurance evidencing the required insurance policies, including evidence of additional insured status. Each of the above policies will provide Buyer with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any cancellation, non-renewal or material change in coverage. Such insurance shall be placed with reputable insurance companies licensed or authorized to do business in the state in which the property is located with a minimum Best’s rating of A-:X. Should Seller engage the services of any subcontractor to perform work in the property, then Seller shall ensure that such subcontractor maintains insurance in substantially the same forms and amounts as are required of Seller under this Purchase Order.

(f)   Limitation on Buyer’s Liability.  IN NO EVENT SHALL BUYER BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR REMOTE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF USE, OR FOR PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER STYLED, WHETHER ARISING UNDER THIS PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHERWISE.

2.2 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The Parties agree to submit any and all claims, demands, disputes, controversies, differences or misunderstandings arising out of or relating to this Purchase Order, or the failure or refusal to perform the whole or any part hereof, to binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, except where those rules conflict with this provision, in which case this provision controls. Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator unless the amount in dispute exceeds $250,000. If the amount in dispute exceeds $250,000, it shall be decided by three arbitrators, one to be selected by each party and the two party-appointed arbitrators to agree upon the third. The arbitration shall be held within the judicial district of Buyer’s main office location, or in another location if agreed by Buyer and Seller. Absent agreement of the parties, or an order by the arbitrator(s) based upon compelling evidence of need, there shall be no discovery in the arbitration.

Seller shall notify Buyer not less than 90 days in advance of any proposed changes to Seller's manufacturing processes, composition or grade of raw materials used, critical process sources, equipment or facilities that may impact the quality, acceptability, reliability or on-time delivery of the Ordered Items, including any proposed relocations of manufacturing or assembly facilities that produce the Ordered Items. Any such changes must be planned and coordinated between Buyer and Seller prior to implementation and shall not be made without Buyer’s written approval; if Seller implements such changes without Buyer’s written agreement, this may render the Ordered Items defective and Buyer may reject the items or may terminate this Purchase Order under Section 3.01(d).
