  1. ACCEPTANCE: Seller agrees that Seller’s written acceptance or commencement of any work or the shipment of any goods or service under this order shall constitute Seller’s acceptance of these terms and conditions only.

  2. SHIPPING: Seller agrees: (a) to properly pack, mark and ship goods in accordance with the reasonable written requirements of Buyer; (b) to route shipments in accordance with written instructions from Buyer; (c) to make no charge for handling, packaging, storage, transportation or drayage of goods unless otherwise stated in this order; (d) to provide with each shipment packing slips with Buyer’s order number marked thereon; (e) to properly mark each package with this order number and, where multiple packages comprise a single shipment, to consecutively number each package; and (f) to promptly forward the original bill of lading or other shipping receipt for each shipment in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions. Seller shall convey to Buyer merchantable title to the goods free from any lien, security interest or encumbrance. The marks on each package and identification of the goods on packing slips, bills of lading and invoices shall be reasonably sufficient to enable Buyer to  identify the goods purchased. Seller agrees to promptly render, after delivery of goods or performance of services, correct and complete invoices to Buyer. Buyer shall pay all invoices within the time set forth on the front of this order and, if no time is set forth, then payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s invoice. 
  3. DELIVERY SCHEDULES: TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Deliveries shall be made both in quantities and at times specified in writing by Buyer. Buyer shall not be required to make payment for goods delivered to Buyer which are in excess of quantities specified by Buyer and shall promptly return such excess quantities to Seller freight collect. Any change to the rate of scheduled shipments or if Buyer directs temporary suspension of scheduled shipments, Seller shall be entitled to a modification of the price for goods or services covered by this order. 
  4. CHANGES: Seller shall provide the goods that meet the written specifications provided by Buyer. Buyer reserves the right at any time on not less than fifteen (15) days written notice to Seller to direct changes, or cause Seller to make changes, to specifications or to otherwise change the scope of the work covered by this order, including work with respect to such matters as inspection, testing or quality control, and Seller agrees to promptly make such changes.  Buyer shall be invoiced for any difference in price or time for performance resulting from such changes.

Seller’s failure to provide written instructions within ten (10) days, or such shorter period as may be commercially reasonable under the circumstances, after notice of nonconformity shall entitle Buyer, at Buyer’s option, to dispose of the goods, without liability to Seller. Payment for nonconforming goods shall not constitute an acceptance thereof, limit or impair Buyer’s right to assert any legal or equitable remedy, or relieve Seller’s responsibility for latent defects. Seller shall reasonably consider Buyer’s reasonable suggestions for correcting all non-conformances. 
  7. FORCE MAJEURE: Any delay or failure of either party to perform its obligations hereunder shall be excused if, and to the extent that it is caused by an event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the party and without its fault or negligence, such as, by way of example and not by way of limitation, acts of God, actions by any governmental authority (whether valid or invalid), fires, floods, windstorms, explosions, riots, natural disasters, wars, sabotage, labor problems (including lockouts, strikes and slowdowns), inability to obtain power, material, labor, equipment or transportation, or court injunction or order.

Seller acknowledges that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damage that would be suffered by Buyer in the case of Seller’s breach of this paragraph. Therefore, Buyer, besides any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. Seller’s duties and obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination or cancellation of this order for any reason.

The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this order shall in no way affect the right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver of either party of a breach of any provision of this order constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision. Seller may not assign or delegate its obligations under this order without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller and Buyer are independent contracting parties and nothing in this order shall make either party the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever, nor does it grant either party any authority to assume or to create any obligation on behalf of or in the name of the other.

This order, together with the attachments, specifications, exhibits, or supplements, specifically referenced in this order, constitutes the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to the matter contained herein and supersedes all prior oral or written representations and agreements.
