All orders are accepted in accordance with these terms and conditions and those on the reverse hereof. Acceptance by Seller is expressly made conditional on Buyers assent to Seller’s terms that are additional to or different from those proposed by Buyer, if any. If Seller’s terms are not acceptable, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of its objections, and Buyer’s failure to so object and its delivery of a purchase order or acknowledgment, or acceptance of the Goods, whichever occurs first, shall constitute Buyer’s consent to the terms hereof. Seller hereby objects to any different or additional terms or conditions, which may now or in the future appear on Buyer’s order, acknowledgment or other forms. Any reference to Buyer’s order or other communication is for convenience only and not an incorporation of the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms set forth herein and the face hereof, the latter shall control.

Any payment not made when due shall be subject to a late payment charge of 1-½% per month until the unpaid balance is paid in full. All credit sales and the terms thereof are subject to Seller’s continuing credit approval. Seller reserves the right to demand cash on delivery or satisfactory security, at its option, or withhold shipment and/or cancel outstanding orders in the event of Buyer’s default of credit terms or if Buyer’s credit becomes impaired or unsatisfactory to Seller.

Buyer shall have the right by giving written notice to Seller, to make changes in the quantity, drawings, designs or specifications for the Goods to be manufactured. Upon receipt of any such notice, Seller shall notify Buyer as promptly as possible of changes in the price of, or the time required for performance of, the order and an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both, prior to incorporating said changes into the manufactured Goods.

Blanket orders will be accepted for a defined quantity with scheduled releases for a given period not to exceed one year unless otherwise negotiated. Blanket orders will be price protected for 60 days after notice to Buyer of a price change.

Shipments made within 10 days after the scheduled delivery date shall be deemed to have fulfilled the sale agreement. In any event, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any damages claimed to have resulted from any delay in the delivery of Goods unless time of delivery is expressly stated herein to be of the essence.

Buyer shall inspect Goods promptly upon receipt. All claims for alleged defects in the Goods resulting from their failure to conform to the warranty provided in paragraph 12, subject to the terms herein, and any right of rejection or revocation of acceptance are waived if (a) Buyer fails to give Seller notice of any claim within 30 days after tender of delivery of goods or (b) Buyer has used the Goods or done any other act inconsistent with rejection or revocation of acceptance (except for reasonable tests). Buyer shall afford Seller prompt and reasonable opportunity to inspect all claimed non-conforming Goods and Seller must give written authorization before Goods may be returned for credit.

All claims for shortage or shipping damage must be made within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Goods. Visible damage must be noted on the freight bill or carrier’s receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent. In the event of concealed physical damage to the Goods, Buyer shall make a request for inspection by the carrier’s agent and file a claim with the carrier.

If the Goods received by Buyer hereunder are pursuant to a risk assessment, recommendation or audit by the Buyer, itself, or a third party (“Independent Recommendation”), the Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller has not and will not make an independent investigation into the Independent Recommendation and in no way endorses or agrees or disagrees with the Independent Recommendation. For all Goods provided pursuant to an Independent Recommendation, Seller will solely work with Buyer to install such Goods, but makes no representations or warranties as to the Goods, including any fitness for a particular purpose. This section shall in no way limit the other terms contained herein and shall be in addition to such terms.

Where Buyer delivers to Seller parts, equipment, material, fixtures, wiring or other property for use by Seller in manufacturing, processing, assembly or modification of Goods for Buyer, the Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage to such property while in Seller’s possession and Buyer agrees to maintain insurance coverage on such property as it deems advisable. Buyer warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the Goods into which Buyer’s property may be incorporated, together with any Goods produced to Buyer’s design or specifications, will not infringe upon the patent rights of any third party, and Buyer agrees, at its sole expense, to defend, indemnify, reimburse and otherwise save Seller harmless against any and all liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) for actual or alleged infringement of any patent or other intellectual property right which may arise from manufacture, sale or use of the Goods.

Seller shall not be liable for failure to deliver or delays in delivery caused by acts of God, acts of Buyer, acts, rules or regulations of any governmental authority (civil or military, executive, legislative, or otherwise), strikes or other concerted acts of workers, lock-outs, labor difficulties or controversies and adjustments thereof, fires, floods, storms, accidents, earthquakes, tidal waves, or other natural disasters, epidemics, war, riots, rebellion, sabotage, insurrection, difficulties, or delays in public transportation or in public or postal delivery services, car shortages, fuel shortages, inability to obtain Seller’s usual sources of supply (including disruptions precluding receipt of delivery against supply, forward, and future contracts), inability to obtain suitable or sufficient energy, labor, machinery, facilities, supplies, or materials, as or when required, or by any other circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control, whether of similar or dissimilar nature.

The contract for the sale of the Goods shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin (regardless of the laws that might be applicable under principles of conflicts of law). If any of the provisions hereof shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. No right or interest in the contract arising from this document shall be assigned by Buyer and no delegation of any obligation owed by Buyer shall be made without the prior written permission of Seller. The individual rights and remedies of Seller reserved herein shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law or in equity. Waiver by Seller of performance or breach of any provision hereof by Buyer, or failure of Seller to enforce any provision hereof which may establish a defense or limitation of liability, shall not be deemed a waiver of future compliance therewith or a course of performance modifying such provision, and such provision shall remain in full force and effect as written. Any action concerning, relating to or involving the contract between Buyer and Seller must be venue in Outagamie County, Wisconsin and the parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in Outagamie County, Wisconsin.

Seller continues to attempt to comply with all applicable Wisconsin and federal laws.
