TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

These terms and conditions shall apply to all orders entered into by any customer of the Goods, whichever the case may be (“Buyer”) and JPW Industries, Inc. (“Seller”), and shall be effective as of the earlier of Buyer’s ordering, purchasing, or taking delivery of Goods (“Effective Date”). The term “Goods” means all items sold and/or provided by Seller to Buyer, whether goods, materials, products to be manufactured and delivered, services to be rendered, or any combination thereof.

 

These terms and conditions and any Seller quotation form submitted herewith or separately shall be collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Agreement.” Seller shall accept orders, sell Goods, and do business only upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and no variation from this Agreement shall be binding upon Seller unless expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Seller. Any additional or conflicting provision of any purchase order or other documentation of Buyer (collectively, “Purchase Order”), or prior or later communication from Buyer to Seller, shall have no effect on the purchase of the Goods by Buyer from Seller and are expressly rejected. Seller’s performance shall not be construed as acceptance any provision of a Purchase Order or any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted by any State or Commonwealth, that is contrary or in addition to these terms.

 

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ AND AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER’S COMMENCEMENT OF PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING ORDERING, PURCHASING, OR TAKING DELIVERY OF GOODS, SHALL IN ALL CASES CONSTITUTE BUYER’S UNQUALIFIED AND UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER MAY REJECT THIS AGREEMENT BY NOT ORDERING OR RECEIVING ANY GOODS.

 

Ownership. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller owns and shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to all patents, trademarks, copyrights, and all industrial and other intellectual property rights and protections that are associated with, related to, or embodied in the Goods, however arising and whether registered and unregistered, including all registrations and applications for, and renewals or extensions of, such rights or forms of protection pursuant to applicable law, rule, and regulation throughout any part of the world (“Seller IP”). Buyer shall not acquire any ownership interest in any of the Seller IP under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with Buyer’s purchase of the Goods. If Buyer acquires any rights in the Seller IP by operation of law or otherwise, such rights are deemed and are hereby irrevocably assigned to Seller or its licensors, as the case may be, without further action by either of the parties. Buyer shall not take any action that might interfere with any of Seller’s rights in or to the Seller IP or alter, obscure, or remove any of Seller’s trademarks, copyright, or other proprietary notices placed on the Goods, marketing materials, or other materials that Seller may provide.

 

Price. If any price quotation is provided by Seller, such price quotation shall be good only for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such quote, unless a shorter period is specified in the quote or unless Seller revokes the quote prior to the expiration of the applicable period. Thereafter, the price for Goods sold hereunder shall be the Seller’s price in effect as of the date of order. All prices are F.O.B., the Seller’s distribution center, unless otherwise stated. Prices also do not include any federal, state, or local taxes or other governmental charges upon or with respect to the sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery, storage, processing, use, or consumption of any of the Goods provided hereby. Prices are stated and payable in U.S. dollars.

 

Cancellation. Buyer may not suspend or cancel orders placed with Seller, except with Seller’s prior written consent and then only if Buyer reimburses Seller for all losses incurred due to such suspension or cancellation, including without limitation, all incidental and consequential damages and expenses arising therefrom. Direction from Buyer to suspend or cancel any order may be treated as repudiation, making Buyer immediately liable for loss, expense and other damages sustained. Seller shall have the right, without penalty or liability, to cancel or reject any orders at any time for any reason.

 

Delivery. In all other cases, title to and risk of loss for the Goods shall pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods by Seller to the common carrier for delivery. If Buyer does not specify shipping instructions, Buyer hereby authorizes Seller to make shipping arrangements on Buyer’s behalf and Buyer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated therewith. All timeframes provided by Seller, whether verbally or in writing, are good faith estimates of the expected delivery date for the Goods. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fill Buyer’s orders within the time stated but in no event shall Seller be liable for any damages associated with Seller’s inability to meet any such timeframes or deadlines, including but not limited to incidental or consequential damages arising therefrom.

 

Inspection & Acceptance. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Seller, Buyer shall inspect and accept or reject all Goods within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Buyer shall only reject Goods that fail to materially conform to the specifications set forth in the applicable documentation provided by Seller, and if Buyer rejects any merchandise, Buyer must first obtain a Returned Goods Authorization (“RGA”) number before returning any Goods to Seller. Goods returned without a RGA will be refused, and Seller shall have no obligations with respect to such Goods. Seller will not be responsible for any freight costs, damages to goods, or any other costs or liabilities pertaining to goods returned without a RGA. Seller shall have the right to substitute a conforming tender. Buyer will be responsible for all freight costs to and from Buyer and repackaging costs, if any, if Buyer refuses to accept shipment. If Goods are returned in unusable or unsalable condition, Buyer shall be responsible for full value of the Goods. Buyer may not return any special-order Goods. Any Goods returned hereunder shall be subject to a restocking fee equal to 30% of the invoice price. Any Goods not rejected in accordance with this paragraph within ten (10) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed inspected and accepted by Buyer.

 

Specifications. Seller may, at its option, make changes in the designs, specifications or components of the Goods to improve the safety of such Goods, or if in Seller’s judgment, such changes will be beneficial to their operation or use. Buyer may not make any changes in the specifications for the Goods unless Seller approves of such changes in writing, in which event Seller may impose additional charges to implement such changes and result in the product becoming non-returnable.

 

Confidentiality. In connection with this Agreement, Seller may disclose or make available to Buyer certain information about its business, its goods and services, and other non-public information (“Confidential Information”), including without limitation, the terms of this Agreement, Seller IP, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, pricing terms, and any other information marked as confidential or that would otherwise reasonably be understood to be confidential. Buyer shall protect Seller’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Buyer would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, and Buyer shall not, without Seller’s prior written consent, use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights under this Agreement or disclose the Confidential Information to any third party.

 

Buyer Warranty. Buyer represents and warrants that (a) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (b) it is and will remain in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Buyer, this Agreement, or the Goods; (c) it is not insolvent and is paying all of its debts as they become due; and (d) all information that Buyer has provided to Seller is true and accurate and, as to any financial information, fairly represents Buyer’s financial condition.

 

Seller Limited Warranty. Provided that the Goods are installed, used, and maintained in accordance with any instruction manual or technical guidelines provided by the Seller or supplied with the Goods, Seller makes the limited warranties for the limited periods set forth on the pages linked below, by brand (collectively, the “Limited Warranty”):

 

Seller’s obligations with respect to the Limited Warranty are conditioned upon (a) the original end-user giving written notice to Seller of any suspected defect in the Goods prior to the expiration of the designated warranty period; and (b) the original end-user obtaining a RGA from Seller prior to returning any Goods to Seller for warranty service under this paragraph. For purposes of clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller shall have no responsibility under the Limited Warranty or otherwise for claims under the Limited Warranty after the expiration of the designated warranty period or for Goods returned without a RGA.

 

The original end-user shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with returning the Goods to Seller for warranty service under the Limited Warranty. In the event of a defect, Seller may, at its sole option and as its sole obligation under the Limited Warranty, repair or replace the defective Goods or refund to the original end-user the purchase price for such defective Goods. Goods are not eligible for replacement or return after a period of 30 days from date of receipt.

 

The Limited Warranty is Seller’s sole obligation, and the original end-user’s exclusive remedy, with regard to any defective Goods.

 

This limited warranty does not apply to: (a) die sets, tooling, and saw blades; (b) periodic or routine maintenance and setup, (c) repair or replacement of the Goods due to normal wear and tear, (d) defects or damage to the Goods resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, or accidents, (e) defects or damage to the Goods resulting from improper or unauthorized alterations, modifications, or changes, (f) any Goods that have not been installed and/or maintained in accordance with the instruction manual or technical guidelines provided by Seller, and (g) labor and costs associated with repair or installation of parts supplied under warranty.

SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE APPROPRIATENESS, LEGALITY, OR SUFFICIENCY OF THE GOODS FOR BUYER’S PURPOSES, AND NO WARRANTY IS MADE WHICH EXTENDS BEYOND THAT WHICH IS EXPRESSLY CONTAINED HEREIN. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER SELLER NOR ANY THIRD PARTY HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, ON BEHALF OF SELLER.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN WARRANTIES. IN THOSE STATES, TO THE EXTENT THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE NOT PERMITTED AS TO BUYER, SELLER’S WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

Indemnification.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR DOWN TIME) ARISING FROM OR IN MANNER CONNECTED WITH THE GOODS, ANY BREACH BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER’S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATED TO ANY GOODS EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY THE BUYER FOR THE GOODS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO BRING A CLAIM, BUYER SHALL NOT BRING ANY CLAIM OR ACTION BASED ON OR ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER GOODS MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER DELIVERY OF THE GOODS HEREUNDER, AND BUYER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ACTION AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH PERIOD. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW US TO LIMIT OUR LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR CONSUMER PRODUCTS. IN THOSE STATES, TO THE EXTENT THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE NOT PERMITTED AS TO BUYER, SELLER’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

ASSUMPTION OF RISK.

In the event of any such delay, performance will be postponed by such length of time as may be reasonably necessary to compensate for the delay.

 

Installation. If Buyer purchases any Goods that require installation, Buyer shall, at its expense, make all arrangements and connections necessary to install and operate the Goods. Buyer shall install the Goods in accordance with any Seller instructions and shall indemnify Seller against any and all damages, demands, suits, causes of action, claims and expenses (including actual attorneys’ fees and costs) arising directly or indirectly out of the improper installation of the Goods or Buyer’s failure to properly install the Goods or to have the goods properly installed.
