Any additions, deletions or differences in the terms offered by Buyer will not be binding upon seller unless specifically agreed to in writing. Retention by buyer for a period of ten (10) days of any goods delivered by seller hereunder shall be deemed acceptance of both the goods and the terms and conditions herein.

Seller shall package, mark and ship all goods and supplies in accordance with the requirements of the order and shall in the absence of written agreement, secure at its discretion the most advantageous service and rates consistent with the order. Seller may deliver the goods in installments. Seller reserves the right to ship +/- 10% of total order quantity and will notify the buyer of the quantity +/- 3 days of invoicing the goods.
3. RELEASE: Prices apply only if the quantity here under is released within sixty (60) days, with shipments scheduled no more than twelve months from the date of Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s order, or within terms set forth in Infrared Materials Quotation. Otherwise, Seller’s standard prices in effect at date of release of order shall apply to the quantity shipped, and Buyer shall be invoiced for the difference in price if any.
4. TAXES AND DUTIES: Prices are net and not subject to trade or other discounts and do not include Federal, State, or Local Taxes applicable to goods sold in this transaction.

5. TERMS AND PAYMENT: Where Seller has extended credit to Buyer; terms of payment shall be net cash thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Payment shall be made for the goods without regard to whether Buyer has made or may make any inspection or use of the goods.

If shipments are delayed by Buyer, payments are due from the date when Seller is prepared to make such shipments. Goods held for Buyer are at Buyer’s sole risk and expense. If goods are delivered in installments Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the terms hereof. Buyer, for the purpose of inducing Seller to extend credit, represents that Buyer is not insolvent as that term is defined in applicable state or federal statutes. In the event that Buyer becomes insolvent before delivery of the goods or any part thereof Buyer will notify Seller immediately. A failure to notify Seller shall be construed as a reaffirmation of Buyers solvency at each time of delivery.
6. TITLE: Title to all goods shall pass to Buyer at F.C.A. shipping point.
7. TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION: All Sales Orders are non-cancellable and non-returnable unless otherwise stated. All changes to Buyer’s purchase order must be agreed to in writing by Seller prior to the affectivity of such changes unless the order is issued pursuant to a government contract. Buyer may terminate or modify this contract in whole or, from time to time, in part upon advance thirty (30) day written notice to seller. In such event, Buyer shall be liable for termination charges or increased charges due to schedule modifications which shall include an upward price adjustment based on the quantity of goods actually delivered, and all costs direct and indirect, incurred and committed for this contract together with a reasonable allowance for pro-rated expenses and profits.
8. TERMINATION BY SELLER: Should the financial responsibility of Buyer at any time become unsatisfactory to Seller, Seller reserves the right to require at Seller’s option (i) payment for any shipment hereunder in advance or (ii) satisfactory security. In the event of any default by Buyer, including without limitation, failure to make payment, in accordance with the terms of this contract, Seller may decline to make further shipments. In such event, Buyer shall be liable for termination charges or increased charges as a result of shipping delays which shall include an upward price adjustment based on the quantity of goods actually delivered, and all costs, direct and indirect, incurred and committed for this contract together with a reasonable allowance for pro-rated expenses and profits. If Seller elects to continue to make shipments, Seller’s action shall not constitute a waiver of any default by Buyer or in any way affect Seller’s legal remedies for any such default or subsequent default by Buyer.

BUYER MATERIAL: Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage from any cause, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Seller, to property owned by Buyer and furnished to Seller or to other material delivered by Buyer to Seller. Seller is not obligated to insure material furnished to Seller by Buyer, and risk of loss of material furnished to or left with Seller shall remain with Buyer. Seller does offer insurance at minimal cost for protection of material while at Seller’s facility. Details and approximate costs are available upon request.
10. SET-UP, FIXTURES AND TOOLS: Set-up, fixtures and tools become an integral part of Seller’s equipment. Invoices covering set-up, fixtures or tools do not convey any title or interest to Buyer. Only part of such cost is ordinarily charged Buyer while Seller assumes the remainder and provides engineering time and experience in their design. For these reasons set-ups, fixtures and tools remain the property of Seller and are not removable from Seller’s plant.
11. INSPECTIONS AND ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS: a) Inspections: All inspections required as part of this order shall be limited to final inspections only. Such inspections may be performed at Seller’s facility, but shall not include any areas or processes which are proprietary to Seller. Advance notification of 72 hours is required for inspections at Seller’s facility. b) Acceptance: Acceptance of goods supplied under this order shall occur within ten (10) days after delivery to Buyer. Failure to inspect and reject non-conforming items shall be deemed acceptance by Buyer with full responsibility for payment.
12. DELAY IN DELIVERY: Shipping dates are approximate only and simply represent the best estimate of the time required to make shipment. Time shall not be deemed to be of the essence hereunder. Seller shall not be liable for any loss or expense (consequential or otherwise) incurred by Buyer for any delay in delivery for any reason other than arbitrary refusal of Seller to perform. Retention of goods by Buyer for a period of ten (10) days following delivery constitutes a waiver of all claims for delay in delivery unless a written claim is delivered to Seller within the period. Seller shall not be liable for any damage or penalty for failure to ship or for delays in shipment whether reasonable or unreasonable caused by the following matters affecting the manufacture or shipping: (i) fire, floods, or other casualties; (ii) wars, riots, civil commotion, embargoes, governmental regulation; (iii) Seller’s inability to obtain necessary material from its usual sources of supply; (iv) shortage of cars or trucks or delays in transit; (v) existing or future strikes or other labor troubles affecting production or shipment whether involving employees of Seller or employees of others, and regardless of responsibility or fault on the part of the employers; or (vi) any other contingencies affecting manufacture or shipment nor reasonably within the Seller’s control whether or not of a class or kind mentioned herein. The delivery schedule hereof shall be considered automatically extended by a period of time equal to the time lost because of any delay which is excusable hereunder. In the event Seller is wholly or partially unable to perform because of any cause beyond its reasonable control Seller may allocate production and deliveries among Seller’s customers or in the case of U.S. Government contracts and/or subcontracts in accordance with applicable DOD priority ratings, or may terminate this order without any further liability to Buyer.
