TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale “Terms” shall govern all conduct between the Seller and Buyer concerning the purchase of products or services from Seller (the “Products”). To the extent a Seller order acknowledgement, invoice or other document or transmittal constitutes an acceptance of an offer from Buyer, such acceptance is expressly made conditional upon Buyer’s assent to these Terms. Buyer disclaims all other terms, including but not limited to terms included in any Buyer purchase order. “Buyer” means the individual or entity identified on Buyer’s purchase order, or if different, on Seller’s quote. “Seller” means Elizabeth Mary, Inc. dba NuWay Electronics, its subsidiaries or affiliates, as identified on Seller’s quote or order acknowledgement.

1. PRICES, INVOICING, AND PAYMENT. Buyer shall pay Seller the Purchase Price as set forth in the Sales Order Acceptance or in any invoice pertaining to a modification or cancellation. Seller’s prices do not include any freight, handling, duty, tariff, domestic or foreign sales taxes, for which Buyer will be charged (separately on Seller’s invoice) unless Buyer has provided an appropriate tax exemption certificate. Seller shall invoice Buyer concurrently with each Product shipment. An invoice will include the invoice date, the invoice number, the Buyer P.O. number, the total price, and address where payment is to be sent. Except as otherwise set forth on the Seller’s invoice, payment terms are NET 30 days from invoice date. Payment shall be made in U.S. dollars. Payment not received when due shall accrue interest at the rate of 11⁄2% monthly from its due date until fully paid.

2. DELIVERY AND RISK OF LOSS. Products are shipped EXW the Seller’s facility located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA, and risk of loss of Products shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the designated carrier. Seller’s responsibility for exception-free delivery ceases when the transportation company receives shipment in good condition. Until Buyer fully discharges all payment obligations for the Products under these Terms, however, Buyer grants Seller a purchase money security interest in the Products. Seller will use reasonable efforts to meet shipment or delivery dates specified by Seller or Buyer, but such dates are estimates only and are not a firm commitment. Seller will not be liable for any delay in shipping or performance or non-delivery beyond Seller’s reasonable control, including, without limitation: act or omission of Buyer; flood, hurricane, or other act of God; embargo or other governmental act, regulation, order, or request; strike,
slowdown, or labor dispute; inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, or manufacturing facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay, plus a reasonable time for resuming performance. If shipping is delayed or interrupted for any cause for which Buyer is directly or indirectly responsible and additional costs (including storage costs) are incurred by Seller due to such delays, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for such added costs.

3. FREIGHT. Freight is the responsibility of Buyer and will be added by Seller to the invoice or billed against a Buyer-supplied freight account. All special freight-handling charges will be billed to the Buyer requesting the freight change. Any request for expedited air shipments must be received in writing before 12:00 pm Central Time or the shipment will be sent on the next business day. All shipments are subject to availability. Any requests for partial shipments must be received in writing and freight will be added to each shipment. Buyer shall pay any detention, storage, handling, or auxiliary charges assessed by carriers or warehousemen. Buyer requests for deferment on shipping must be approved by Seller and such orders may be subject to revised pricing and storage costs.

4. LIMITED WARRANTY. Seller warrants that its Products and Services will be free of defects in workmanship or material for 12 months from the date of shipment when stored, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the Product specifications, standard industry practice, and all applicable Uniform Commercial Codes that apply to the product category. Further, this warranty is void if the Product is used for a purpose other than the one for which it was intended for. Further, this warranty is void if the Product is altered or repaired by a third party without Seller’s prior written consent. Further, Seller shall in no event be responsible or liable under this Warranty for any failure arising from external causes, including but not limited to Buyer’s acts or omissions; third-party modifications, alterations, or misapplications; damage caused by third-party negligence; or any other occurrences beyond Seller’s reasonable control. If Buyer has fully complied with these Terms, including all of the terms of the foregoing warranty, and a Product fails to conform to the warranty, Seller will at its sole discretion repair the Product, provide a replacement or functionally equivalent Product (as determined by Seller), or refund the original invoice price or the price in effect at the time of the return shipment, whichever is lower. Seller reserves the right to use new, reconditioned, refurbished, repaired, or remanufactured Products or parts in the repair or replacement of any Product covered by this warranty. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY PRODUCT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. This warranty does not include reimbursement for the expenses of labor, transportation, removal, or reinstallation of the Products.

5. RETURN OF PRODUCTS (UNDER WARRANTY). To exercise this warranty, Buyer must make a written request during the warranty period to return the allegedly non-conforming products, and the warranty will be applicable only to such returned Products. Items returned without advance authorization from Seller will, at the sole option of Seller, be returned to Buyer freight collect, or scrapped immediately with no issuance of credit. If Seller authorizes a return, Seller will issue a Return Materials Authorization (“RMA”) number. Buyer must include with the return shipment (i) the RMA number and (ii) the original Seller invoice number. Unauthorized material included in an otherwise authorized return will not be credited. Collect shipments will not be
accepted. Returned Products must be received by Seller within 30 days of issuance of the RMA.

Seller may, at its discretion, further demand information, drawings, or samples of any Products or other devices into which Buyer placed Seller’s
components.

6. RETURN OF PRODUCTS (OTHER THAN UNDER WARRANTY). Products may not be returned without Seller’s prior written authorization. To obtain such authorization, Buyer must make any request to return Products in writing within 90 days of the date of shipment. Seller will not grant return authorization where the products are non-standard, made-to-order, manufactured to Buyer’s specific design or specification, or discontinued, or where the value of all items to be returned is less than $250. Items returned without advance authorization from Seller will, at the sole option of Seller, be returned to Buyer freight collect, or scrapped immediately with no issuance of credit.

prepaid unless otherwise instructed by Seller in writing. Returned Products must be received by Seller within 30 days of issuance of the RMA.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OR IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF PRODUCTS, IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT TO WHICH SUCH LIABILITY RELATES. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS OCCURRED.

8. CANCELLATIONS. Orders may not be cancelled or modified, either in whole or in part, without Seller’s express written consent.

Cancellation of any Product order after shipment will be subject to the return provisions of these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale.

Buyer agrees not to infringe, directly or indirectly, any patents of Seller or its affiliates through any combination or system incorporating a Product sold hereunder. In the event a Product is made or modified in accordance with Buyer’s drawings, samples, manufacturing specifications, or the like, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from all damages, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) related to any claim of patent infringement arising from such manufacture or modification.Buyer agrees, at Seller’s sole discretion, to undertake the defense of such suit at its own expense.

11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Buyer shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the Products, including, but not limited to, all applicable import and export laws and regulations.

If the ultimate destination of the Products is outside of the United States, Buyer shall designate such country on its purchase order. If Buyer purchases Products for export without so notifying Seller, Seller reserves the right to cancel the order. Buyer will have sole liability and shall defend, indemnify, and release Seller for any loss or damage (including without limitation, claims of governmental authorities) arising from the export from the United States or import into another country of such  products.

12. GOVERNING LAW. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to its choice of law rules. Any claim or litigation arising out of or relating to the Products shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois. Buyer and Seller expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any order for Products.

Buyer may not assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller. Seller may assign, delegate, or subcontract a purchase order or any of its obligations under these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, in whole or in part, without Buyer’s consent.

14. GENERAL. These Terms supersede all other written or oral agreements between the parties. Any different or additional terms included in Buyer’s offer, purchase order, blanket instruction, or other transmittal are expressly rejected by Seller. To the extent a Seller order acknowledgement, invoice, or other document or transmittal constitutes an acceptance of an offer from Buyer, such acceptance is expressly made conditional upon Buyer’s assent to these Terms exclusively. Buyer disclaims all other terms, including but not limited to terms included in any Buyer purchase order. Seller and Buyer may modify these Terms, or the associated quote or purchase order acknowledgement, only by an express written agreement signed by both parties. Seller’s waiver of any breach of any provision contained in these Terms will not waive any other breach by Buyer. Seller’s delay or failure to enforce its rights under these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever. No relationship of exclusivity shall be construed from a quote or these Terms. Any part of these Terms held to be invalid or unenforceable by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall be deemed ineffective to the extent thereof without affecting the validity or enforceability of any other part of these Terms. Provisions of these Terms which by their nature should apply beyond their terms will remain in force after any termination or expiration of these Terms.
