These Terms and Conditions, as they may be subsequently modified by Seller from time to time without notice, are incorporated by reference into all documents issued by Seller to Buyer in connection with the sale and/or provision of Goods and/or Services; provided, however, that these Terms and Conditions shall only apply to the sale of Goods and/or Services by Seller in or to locations within the United States.

ORDERS
Buyer may not cancel or modify an order in whole or in part without Seller’s prior written consent, to be given or denied in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, and which Seller may condition upon an adjustment of price and/or other terms and Buyer’s reimbursement to Seller of its costs and damages in connection with the order and its cancellation or modification.
PRICE
The purchase price of any Goods and/or Services sold and/or provided shall be as stated on the Seller’s quotation; provided, however, that Seller may assess a surcharge on the sale of any Goods and/or Services and/or without prior notice choose to pass along any price increase in Seller’s cost of the subject Goods and/or Services or surcharge imposed on Seller by its supplier(s), including, but not limited to, any such surcharge predicated upon an increase in the cost of raw materials or energy, all after the date of the applicable Seller or accepted purchase order. Such a surcharge by Seller or by Seller’s supplier(s), as well as any price increase, which is passed along will result, respectively, in an increase in price effective for any Goods and/or Services scheduled for shipment beginning immediately on either the date established by Seller as the effective date of such surcharge as noted in the notice provided or on the date such increase in Seller’s cost of the subject Goods and/or Services or surcharge is imposed on Seller by its supplier(s). Any price change resulting from a pass along of a surcharge or an increase of Seller’s cost may, as previously noted in this Section 3, be made effective by Seller without prior notice to Buyer and may be further adjusted by Seller periodically to reflect additional changes in costs to Seller. In any case, Seller shall be bound as to purchase price only upon shipment and/or acceptance by Buyer of all or any part of the Goods and/or Services ordered.
DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE.
Unless specifically agreed to by Seller in a separate signed writing, Seller does not guarantee any certain date of delivery and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses incurred by Buyer or any other person or entity arising directly or indirectly out of a failure to deliver on any particular date. Time for delivery is not of the essence and shall not be made so by the service of notice from Buyer of any certain required date of delivery. Seller reserves the right to defer delivery, to cancel the order or reduce the volume of Goods and/or Services delivered, all without liability of any kind whatsoever to Buyer, if Seller is prevented from or delayed in the carrying on of its business due to causes beyond Seller’s control, including, without limitation, strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties, floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes or other unusually severe weather conditions, embargoes, war or other outbreak of hostilities, acts of terrorism, acts of God, acts of Buyer, market shortages, unavailability of Goods and/or Services or necessary materials, supplies or transportation services, any shift in raw material costs that prohibit or materially reduce the supply of Goods and/or Services or necessary materials or supplies from Seller’s suppliers, inability to obtain shipping space, machinery breakdowns, delays of carriers or suppliers, governmental acts and regulations or other contingency the nonoccurrence of which was a basic assumption on which the purchase order was accepted. In such a case, Seller shall have no obligation to purchase substitute goods or make other substitute arrangements in order to complete delivery to Buyer or to ship substitute goods from any other facility.
Buyer’s right, under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”), to reject due to delay in delivery is waived unless notice thereof is presented to Seller in writing within five (5) days after delivery.
INSTALLMENTS
Unless otherwise expressly agreed with Buyer by Seller in a separate written document, Seller shall have the right to make delivery in installments. All installments shall be separately invoiced and paid as billed without regard to subsequent deliveries. Failure of Buyer to pay for any installment when due shall excuse Seller from making further deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining installments.
WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER
Seller, subject to the terms stated below, warrants that all products and parts and other Goods sold by Seller to Buyer will be free from any defect in material or workmanship for a period of 12 months unless otherwise specified, from the date of shipment, when owned by the Buyer and installed in accordance with Seller’s recommendations and operated under normal conditions. This Warranty is nontransferable by buyer except that, whenever Buyer is a distributor, finance company or similar entity acting for or on behalf of the initial user of Seller’s Products and Parts, the warranty is transferrable to the initial user only when said transfer occurs within 120 days of the shipment date, and written notice thereof Is given to the Seller/No promise or affirmation of fact made by any agent or representative of Seller or any third party shall constitute a warranty by Seller or give rise to any liability or obligation of Seller, and any such alleged promise of affirmation hereby expressly disavowed.

In the event Buyer believes that the Seller’s product or part is defective within the warranty period, Buyer shall notify Seller and shall return the product or part considered to be defective to Seller prepaid. Buyer’s return of such product or part to Seller shall not obligate Seller under its warranty if the product or part is not defective or the warranty is otherwise inapplicable. If Buyer is a distributor, finance company or similar entity, the initial user, by receipt of this Warranty acknowledges that Buyer is not an agent of Seller, is not authorized to act or speak on behalf of Seller, and is an independent entity acting on behalf of itself and the initial user. Seller does not authorize any distributor or finance company or similar entity to act on its behalf or to make representations on its behalf except as expressly stated in writing by Seller.

FREIGHT CHARGES

Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller shall not be responsible for freight, transportation, insurance, shipping, storage, handling, demurrage or similar charges. If such charges are by the terms of sale included (whether in the price itself or as a separate line item), any increase in rates, including, but not limited to, any increase in applicable fuel surcharges, becoming effective prior to the shipment date of the Goods and/or Services ordered, shall be the responsibility of Buyer.
