To the extent that these terms and conditions conflict with or are different from those contained in any purchase order or other procurement documents submitted by Buyers, these terms and conditions will control, and any additional or inconsistent terms are rejected by Seller. Buyer’s acceptance of or payment for the goods shall conclusively confirm assent to these terms. 2. Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties: (a) delivery is FOB Seller’s plant (origin) and (b) title and risk of loss will pass to Buyer upon delivery of products to the carrier at the shipping point. Seller will follow Buyer’s shipping instructions. Absent such instructions from Buyer, Seller will ship by the method it deems most advantageous. Delivery dates are estimates only. Seller will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet specified delivery dates but will otherwise not be responsible for delayed deliveries. 3. Taxes. All prices are exclusive of any sales, use, revenue, or excise taxes, and customs duties, or other similar charges, all of which will be the responsibility of the Buyer. 4. Acceptance. Buyer will accept or reject products within 90 days of delivery. Failure to notify Seller in writing of nonconforming products within such period shall be deemed an unqualified acceptance. Any use of the products by Buyer which is not related to acceptance testing shall constitute acceptance. 5. Credit Sales. Prior credit approval and non-delinquent status are necessary before Seller will ship on an open account basis. If at any time the financial responsibility of Buyer, or the credit risk involved, shall become unsatisfactory to the Seller, Seller may require cash or other satisfactory security prior to shipments or deliveries. With respect to any credit sale, Buyer grants to Seller a purchase money security interest in the products sold, and any proceeds thereof, as security for Buyer’s obligation to pay the purchase price, and Buyer agrees to execute any financing statement or other instrument required to perfect such security interest. 6. Credit Memos. Credit memos or other discounts against future purchases issued by Seller in connection with products returned by Buyer (or for other agreed upon reasons) must be used by Buyer within 180 days of issuance by the Seller, and unless applied by the Buyer against the purchase of additional products within such period, shall expire. Seller will not pay credit memos via check unless both parties agree the business relationship is permanently severed. 7. Credit Terms & Delivery Amounts. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both Seller and Buyer, the payment terms to be extended to Buyer are Net30 Days.

Buyer further agrees to protect, defend, and hold harmless Seller from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, penalties, and judgments associated with the processing, transport, delivery, unloading, discharge, storage, handling, sale, or use of any product after delivery which is (a) inconsistent with any information provided to Buyer; (b) in violation of any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental authority; or (c) not the result of Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct. 12.

In the event of the Seller’s inability, for any reason, to supply the total quantities of product ordered by buyers, Seller may allocate its available supply among its customers, including affiliates, departments, and divisions of Seller, on such basis as Seller deems commercially reasonable, without liability to Buyer for any failure of performance that may result therefrom. 14. Confidentiality. Proposals, drawings, specifications, pricing and technical data furnished to Buyer by Seller shall be retained in confidence, remain the exclusive property of Seller, not be disclosed by Buyer to third parties or used in a manner not authorized by Seller, and returned to Seller upon request.
