Prices set forth in a Seller’s quotation shall be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of such quotation.
2. SHIPPING, RISK AND TITLE:
- All shipping dates are approximate and are based on Seller’s prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer to properly process the order. Goods are shipped ExWorks Seller’s facility (pursuant to Incoterms 2010). Subject to Section 8(a) below, title to the Goods and risk of loss thereto shall transfer to Buyer upon tender of the Goods to a carrier at Seller’s factory. Buyer shall be responsible for all of the following related to the Goods: freight, duty and tax costs, risk, securing insurance, customs clearance and related costs, and arranging for a carrier and determining the method of shipment.
3. TAXES AND DUTIES:
- Prices do not include applicable taxes, duties or fees, including without limitation, any sales, excise, value added or goods sold taxes, or any customs duties or fees. Except for taxes due on Seller’s net income, any taxes, duties or fees payable on any transactions hereunder shall be the responsibility of Buyer, and Seller may invoice Buyer for any such taxes, duties or fees that are or may be payable by Seller.
4. PAYMENT:
- Except as otherwise required by Seller in its sole discretion (e.g., payment in advance, payment by letter of credit), Buyer agrees to pay Seller’s invoice, in U.S. currency, net thirty (30) days from the invoice date.
- If any payment owed to Seller hereunder is not paid when due, Seller may charge Buyer a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by law, on all past outstanding balances. In the event Buyer fails to make any payment when due, Seller shall have the right, among other remedies, to terminate this Agreement or to suspend further delivery of Goods under this and/or other agreements with Buyer. Buyer shall be liable to Seller for all expenses attendant to collection of any past due amounts, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
- Seller reserves a purchase money security interest in the Goods sold only to the extent of the invoiced amount and solely for the purpose of securing Buyer’s payment obligation hereunder. This Agreement is a security agreement. At Seller’s request, Buyer agrees to promptly execute any instrument or statement, and otherwise cooperate with Seller, in order to perfect the aforesaid security interest; provided, however, that in the event Buyer fails to comply with any such request, Buyer authorizes Seller, or a representative on behalf of Seller, to sign and file the necessary instruments or statements for the Buyer.

6. RECEIVING: Except as set forth in the applicable Seller quotation and/or other applicable Seller documentation provided with the Goods, Buyer shall be responsible for receiving, storing, installing, starting up and maintaining all Goods.
7. CANCELLATION: Buyer may cancel its order (does not include “pre-buy” items, see below) at any time prior to shipment by providing written notice thereof to Seller and paying Seller liquidated damages in the following amounts: (a) if the order is canceled within 5 calendar days of the Buyer’s purchase order date (or date a website order is completed), then an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total order price; (b) if the order is canceled within 6 to 15 calendar days of the Buyer’s purchase order date, then an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total order price; and (c) if the Buyer’s order is canceled between 16 and 30 days of the Buyer’s purchase order date, then an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the total order price. Orders over the age of 30 days are not cancel-able. The parties agree that actual damages stemming from any order cancellation will be difficult to calculate and as such the parties agree that the aforesaid amounts do not represent a cancellation penalty, but rather a reasonable and good faith estimate of the actual damages incurred as a result of the cancellation. To the extent Buyer has made any payments prior to cancellation, Seller may apply any payments against any liquidated damages or other amounts due Seller under this Agreement. The exception to this policy is pre-buy orders. Pre-buy orders are not subject to cancellation due to potentially long lead times for these items, how the company allocates funds to purchase the raw materials, and other reasons.
