Regardless of the manner of shipment, title to any products and risk of loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon tender to the carrier at Seller’s facility (i.e., when it’s on the truck, it’s yours). Unless otherwise stated, Seller may exercise its judgment in choosing the carrier and means of delivery. No deferment of shipment at Buyers’ request beyond the respective dates indicated will be made except on terms that will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless against all loss and additional expense.

Orders are considered complete upon shipment of + or – 10% of order quantity.
4. Warranty.

Product:– unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller, Seller warrants to the original buyer that the goods identified will comply with all applicable Seller specifications and will be free from defects in design, materials and workmanship upon receipt and inspection by the buyer, and that the Seller will repair, at Seller’s option, or replace without charge (except for shipping and insurance costs), any part it had manufactured or supplied upon which Seller’s or buyer’s examination proves to have been defective. Seller reserves the right to charge buyer a handling and examination fee with the minimum equal to one hundred dollars and the maximum equal to 20 percent (20%) of the total product invoice amount with respect to goods which, upon testing, are found to be non-defective. This warranty may not be assigned or transferred and no allegedly defective part may be returned to Seller without its prior authorization and the issuance of an RMA number.

Exclusions: the warranty shall not apply (i) if damages result from an accident or contingency beyond Seller’s control, (ii) the goods which have been improperly installed or serviced, misused or aligned or (iii) to any component upon which any serial number has been altered, defaced or removed.

Disclaimer: this is the sole and exclusive warranty given by Seller with respect to the goods sold by Seller. Seller makes no other warranty and hereby expressly disclaims all other representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied. No implied warranty of merchantability, implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose and no implied warranty arising by usage of trade, course of dealing or course of performance is made by Seller. No representative, subsidiary or parent of Seller is authorized to give or make any other representation or warranty or modify the foregoing warranty in any way.

Any action based upon breach of this agreement or upon any other claim arising out of this sale (other than an action by Seller for any amount due to Seller from Buyer) must be commenced within 13 months from the date of tender of delivery by Seller or, for a cause of action based upon an alleged breach of warranty, within 13 months from the date within the warranty period on which the defect is or should have been discovered by Buyer.

If Seller provides Product or system options, the user is responsible for determining that such data and specifications are suitable and sufficient for all applications and reasonably foreseeable uses of the Products or systems.
5. Loss to Buyer’s Property. Any designs, tools, patterns, materials, drawings, confidential information or equipment furnished by Buyer or any other items which become Buyer’s property, may be considered obsolete and may be destroyed by Seller after two consecutive years have elapsed without Buyer placing an order for the items which are manufactured using such property.

8. Improper use and Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claim, liability, damages, lawsuits, and costs (including attorney fees), whether for personal injury, property damage, patent, trademark or copyright infringement or any other claim, brought by or incurred by Buyer, Buyer’s employees, or any other person, arising out of: (a) improper selection, improper application or other misuse of Products purchased by Buyer from Seller; (b) any act or omission, negligent or otherwise, of Buyer; (c) Seller’s use of patterns, plans, drawings, or specifications furnished by Buyer to manufacture Product; or (d) Buyer’s failure to comply with these terms and conditions. Except as otherwise agreed, Seller shall not indemnify Buyer under any circumstance.

11. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This agreement contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller and constitutes the final, complete and exclusive expression of the terms of this agreement. Unless agreed previously in writing with Seller, all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or negotiations with respect to the subject matter are herein merged. Buyer may not assign its rights or obligations under this agreement without the prior written consent of Seller.
12. Waiver and Severability. Failure to enforce any provision of this agreement will not waive that provision nor will any such failure prejudice Seller’s right to enforce that provision in the future. Invalidation of any provision of this agreement by legislation or other rule of law shall not invalidate any other provision herein. The remaining provisions of this agreement will remain in full force and effect.
13. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by Seller for any reason and at any time by giving Buyer 30 days written notice of termination. In addition, Seller may by written notice immediately terminate this agreement for the following: (a) Buyer commits a breach of any provision of this agreement (b) the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for all or any part of Buyer’s property (c) the filing of a petition for relief in bankruptcy of the other Party on its own behalf, or by a third party (d) an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the dissolution or liquidation of Buyer.
14. Governing Law. This agreement and the sale and delivery of all Products hereunder shall be deemed to have taken place in and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, as applicable to contracts executed and wholly performed therein and without regard to conflicts of laws principles. Buyer irrevocably agrees and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Palm Beach County, with respect to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement.
15. Intellectual Property Rights. Products designed by Seller for an application are proprietary to Seller and all designs and performance characteristics shall be kept strictly confidential.
16. Indemnity for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. Seller shall have no liability for infringement of any patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, trade secrets or similar rights except as provided in this Section. Seller will defend and indemnify Buyer against allegations of infringement of U.S. patents, U.S. trademarks, copyrights, trade dress and trade secrets (“Intellectual Property Rights”). Seller will defend at its expense and will pay the cost of any settlement or damages awarded in an action brought against Buyer based on an allegation that a Product sold pursuant to this agreement infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party. Seller’s obligation to defend and indemnify Buyer is contingent on Buyer notifying Seller within 10 days after Buyer becomes aware of such allegations of infringement, and Seller having sole control over the defense of any allegations or actions including all negotiations for settlement or compromise. If a Product is subject to a claim that it infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, Seller may, at its sole expense and option, procure for Buyer the right to continue using the Product, replace or modify the Product so as to make it noninfringing, or offer to accept return of the Product and return the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no liability for claims of infringement based on information provided by Buyer, or directed to Products delivered hereunder for which the designs are specified in whole or part by Buyer, or infringements resulting from the modification, combination or use in a system of any Product sold hereunder. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall constitute Seller’s sole and exclusive liability and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for infringement of Intellectual Property Rights.
17. Taxes. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices and charges are exclusive of excise, sales, use, property, occupational or like taxes which may be imposed by any taxing authority upon the manufacture, sale or delivery of Products.
18. Equal Opportunity Clause. For the performance of government contracts and where dollar value of the Products exceed $10,000, the equal employment opportunity clauses in Executive Order 11246, VEVRAA, and 41 C.F.R. SSSS 60-1.4(a), 60-741.5(a), and 60-250.4, are hereby incorporated.
