Orders

Any Order is intended as a final expression and complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between Seller and Purchaser and may be amended only by a writing signed by each of them. ACCEPTANCE BY PURCHASER OF THE OFFER CONTAINED IN THIS ORDER IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE EXACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN ANY PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENT PROVIDED BY PURCHASER TO SELLER WHICH DIFFER FROM, CONFLICT WITH OR ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL NOT BECOME APART OF ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN PURCHASER AND SELLER UNLESS SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTED BY SELLER IN WRITING. ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCT CONSTITUTES ASSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE STATED HEREIN. Orders shall identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers, descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. All orders are subject to acceptance by Seller. No orders for standard Products ("Standard Products") may be cancelled or rescheduled without Seller's consent, which consent may be given by Seller in its sole discretion. Seller reserves the right to allocate sales of Products among its customers in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, orders for manufacturing, special, custom, value-added and other non-standard and Products otherwise identified by Seller as "NCNR" or "Non-Cancelable and Non-Returnable" ("Non-Standard Products") shall be non-cancelable and non-returnable.

Prices

Seller may change at any time without notice all prices published by Seller or quoted by its representatives. Written quotations expire automatically 30 days from the date issued and are subject to change or termination by notice from Seller during that period. All prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements or other terms and conditions which are not part of the original price quotation. Prices are exclusive of all excise, sales, use and other taxes imposed by any federal, state, municipal or other government authority, all of which taxes shall be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser is responsible for obtaining and providing to Seller any certificate of exemption or similar document required to exempt any sale from sales, use or similar tax liability. All prices shall be as specified by Seller, or if no price has been specified, shall be Seller's price in effect at the time of delivery.

Terms of Payment

Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, terms are net cash 30 days from the date of invoice. Seller reserves the right at any time to require full or partial payment in advance, or to revoke any credit previously extended, if, in its sole judgment, Purchaser's financial condition does not warrant proceeding on the terms specified. Overdue payments shall be subject to finance charges computed at a periodic rate (to the extent permitted by law) of 1 1/2 % per month (18% per year). Amounts owed by Purchaser with respect to which there is no dispute shall be paid without set-off for any amounts which Purchaser may claim are owed by Seller and regardless of any other controversies which may exist.

Delivery and Title

Unless otherwise specified, all sales are F.O.B. Seller's premises in Newburyport, Massachusetts and the time of delivery shall be the time when the product is ready for pickup at that location by Purchaser or by a carrier for delivery to Purchaser. Subject to Seller’s right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier shall constitute delivery to Purchaser and title and risk of loss shall thereupon pass to Purchaser. Purchaser is responsible for Products lost or damaged during shipping. Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments. All such installments shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Purchaser acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Seller are estimates only and that Seller is not liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries. Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph 6, Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any delay or failure to deliver which is due to any cause beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts of nature, unavailability of supplies or sources or energy, riots, wars, fires, floods, epidemics, lockouts, strikes, and slowdowns, delays in delivery by its suppliers, or acts or omissions of Purchaser. If, as a result of any such cause, any scheduled delivery is delayed, Seller may, at its option, by written notice to Purchaser, cancel that and all future deliveries without further liability or obligation of any kind.

Shipment

Unless specific instructions to the contrary are supplied by Purchaser, methods and routes of shipment will be selected by Seller, but Seller will not assume any liability in connection with shipment nor constitute any carrier as its agent. All shipments will be made at Purchaser's risk, and Purchaser shall be responsible for making all claims with carriers, insurers, warehousemen and others for misdelivery, nondelivery, loss, damage or delay.

Cancellations, Returns and Claims

Purchaser may not cancel this Order except upon the written consent of Seller and upon terms that will fully indemnify Seller against loss.

Products shall not be returned to Seller without its prior written authorization. Inspection and acceptance of the Products shall be Purchaser's responsibility. Buyer is deemed to have accepted the Products unless written notice of rejection is received by Seller within ten (10) days after delivery of the Products. Purchaser waives any right to revoke acceptance thereafter. Purchaser shall report any discrepancy in shipment quantity or damage within ten (10) days after delivery. No return of Products shall be accepted by Seller without a Return Material Authorization ("RMA") Number, which may be issued by Seller in its sole discretion. Returned Products must be in original manufacturer's shipping cartons complete with all packing materials. All Products for return shall be returned freight prepaid in the manner specified in the RMA. If returned Products are claimed to be defective, a complete description of the nature of the defect must be included with the returned Products. Products not eligible for return shall be returned to Buyer, freight collect.

Seller's sole responsibility with respect to such claims shall be, at its option, to credit or replace any product or component, which Seller determines to be defective. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NO SUIT OR ACTION SHALL BE BROUGHT AGAINST SELLER FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE RELATED CAUSE OF ACTION HAS OCCURRED.

Patents
