These Terms are deemed an offer and a rejection of any other terms or conditions contained in any of Your documents (which, if construed to be an offer, is hereby rejected). This transaction with Seller is expressly made conditional on Your assent to the Terms set forth below, which are binding to the exclusion of any additional or different terms contained in any other document, any course of dealing or performance, and any trade custom or usage. Your acceptance of any product or service shall manifest Your assent to these Terms.

  1. Terms of payment are net 30 days from invoice date, unless otherwise authorized; prices are EXW Seller's facility (INCOTERMS 2010); and prices do not include any taxes, freight, handling, duty (including but not limited to tariffs) or other similar charges, payment of which will be solely Your responsibility. Prices are conditioned upon timely payment and any past due balance will accrue interest at the monthly rate of 1.5%. Freight and handling charges may not reflect actual costs. Seller reserves the right to modify any payment terms prior to shipment, require payment in advance, or delay/cancel any shipment or order for any reason (including Your creditworthiness).
  2. Unless otherwise agreed, Seller may select a carrier. Seller's responsibility for any loss or damage ends, and title passes, when products (including software, hereafter, “Products”) are delivered to the carrier, to You, or to Your agent, whichever occurs first. You will pay for storage charges if Seller holds Products at Your request for up to a maximum of 60 days (or as otherwise agreed in a signed writing) and You agree to accept delivery of Products upon completion of such period. Seller retains a purchase money security interest in Products sold to You, and in the proceeds of any resale of such Products, until Seller’s invoices to You have been paid in full.
  3. For 30 days after delivery, Seller warrants Products assembled or customized by Seller against defects caused solely by faulty assembly or customization and that any services performed exclusively by it were performed in accordance with industry standards. To the extent provided by Seller’s supplier(s) (“Supplier(s)”), all other Products, services and the components and materials utilized in any assembled or customized Products or services are subject to Supplier’s standard warranty, which is expressly in lieu of any other warranty, express or implied, by Seller or Supplier. Your exclusive remedy, if any, under these warranties is limited, at Seller's election, to: (a) refund of Your purchase price, (b) repair or reperformance by Seller or Supplier(s) of any Products or services found to be defective, or (c) replacement of any such Product.
