TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Terms of Agreement. These Standard Terms and Conditions relate to the Purchase Order to which they are attached or appear on the reverse side thereof. This Purchase Order is only an offer to enter into a contract. For this Purchase Order to be a valid and effective offer, it must be executed by a duly authorized officer or agent of CLEBAE Infinique Tooling and Molding (“Buyer”). Buyer may revoke, amend, or modify this offer at any time prior to acceptance by the seller of Products to which this Purchase Order is issued (“Seller”).

Acceptance of this Purchase Order is expressly limited to and conditioned upon acceptance of the terms set forth herein, which terms cannot be altered or amended without Buyer’s written consent. Any different, additional or conflicting terms or conditions set forth in Seller’s invoice are expressly objected to by Buyer. Acceptance shall be binding upon Seller and Seller’s successors, assigns and delegates.
2. Delivery Terms. The Seller shall cause the Products to be delivered at the Buyer’s facility on the date set forth in the Purchase Order. The Products shall not be delivered before or after the delivery date without the Buyer’s prior written consent. All deliveries of Products ordered by the Buyer shall be F.O.B. destination, freight pre-paid unless otherwise mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller in writing. Notwithstanding any prior inspections and irrespective of the F.O.B. point named herein, Seller will bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction to the ordered goods until final acceptance of the goods by Buyer at destination. Seller will bear the same risk with respect to any goods rejected by Buyer. Buyer, however, will be responsible for any loss occasioned by the gross negligence of its employees acting within the scope of their scope of employment. Seller shall package the Products in a manner that will prevent damage during shipping and ship the Products in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions. No separate charge shall be made for cartons, wrapping, packing, boxing, crating and delivery, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

Unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in writing, Seller’s failure to effect conforming delivery shall entitle Buyer to revoke any acceptance, to cancel this Purchase Order without liability to Buyer, to receive a full refund and expense all or any part of a nonconforming delivery and to hold Seller accountable for any loss or additional costs incurred. Buyer’s receipt or acceptance of all or part of the nonconforming delivery shall not constitute a waiver of any claim, right or remedy Buyer has under this Purchase Order.
3. Overshipments. Buyer will pay only for maximum quantities ordered. Buyer will hold overshipments at Seller's risk and expense for a reasonable time awaiting shipping instructions. Return shipping charges for excess quantities will be at Seller’s expense.
4. Notice of Delays. Whenever any event delays or threatens to delay the timely performance of this purchase order, Seller will immediately notify Buyer of such event and furnish all relevant details. Receipt by Buyer of such notice will not constitute a waiver of the due dates set forth in a Purchase Order.
5. Specifications. The Seller will supply or manufacture the Product in accordance with the specifications, if any, provided by the Buyer. The Seller will not make any changes in such specifications or make any changes in any components or processes used in manufacturing the Product previously agreed to by the Buyer without the Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller will not quote for sale to others, without Buyer's written authorization, any goods purchased under Buyer's specifications or drawings.
6. Inspection. All Products are subject to inspection and rejection upon or after receipt by Buyer. If any Products are defective or not in conformity with this Purchase Order, in addition to its remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, Buyer may reject or revoke acceptance of such defective or non-conforming Products, require correction, or accept them with an equitable adjustment in price. All Products shall be received subject to Buyer’s inspection, testing, approval and acceptance at our premises notwithstanding any inspection or testing at Seller’s premises, any prior payment for such products or acknowledgement of receipt of packaging slips or bills of lading. Materials rejected or not conforming to this Purchase Order shall be returned at the Seller’s risk and expense, including transportation and handling costs.
7. Warranty. In addition to any other express or implied warranties (including those set forth in Section 9 below), Seller warrants that all Products delivered hereunder will be merchantable, new, suitable for the uses intended, of the grade and quality specified, free from all defects in material, manufacture, workmanship and design (except to the extent such design is furnished by Buyer), will conform to all samples, drawings, descriptions and specifications furnished and will be free of liens and encumbrances. Seller further expressly warrants that all services performed under this contract will be free from defects in workmanship. These warranties shall remain in effect as to each Product furnished, serviced and/or repaired hereunder. All warranties shall be construed as conditions as well as warranties and shall not be deemed to exclude Seller’s standard warranties or other rights or warranties which the Buyer may have or may obtain, to the extent they do not override or limit the rights granted Buyer herein. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder to Buyer, Buyer will have any and all rights available to it for breach of warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code. If after notice of breach of warranty Seller fails promptly to replace or repair any defective Product, Buyer may seek to do so without further notice and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all costs or expenses incurred thereby.
8. Changes. Buyer may at any time by written change order make changes in the Products or services to be furnished hereunder or their quantities or delivery dates. If the cost of, or time required for, furnishing the articles or services ordered hereby is increased or decreased as a result of such change order, an equitable adjustment in the contract price and/or delivery schedule will be made in the change order. No claim by Seller for such an adjustment will be valid unless asserted within ten (10) days from the date of receipt by Seller of the notification of change; provided, however, that such period may be extended upon the written approval of Buyer. If a price and/or delivery adjustment is not included in the change order, no increase in price or delay in delivery will be allowed unless authorized by Buyer in writing. Seller shall notify Buyer not less than six (6) months in advance of (i) any design changes in specifications which will affect form, fit or function or (ii) Seller's intent to discontinue any Products. Any such changes shall be made only as mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller.
9. Termination. Buyer may cancel the whole or any portion of this Purchase Order in the event of (i) Seller’s failure to make deliveries as provided in this Purchase Order (ii) Seller’s breach of any of the terms hereof, including the warranties, (iii) insolvency of Seller, (iv) filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, (v) filing of an involuntary petition to have Seller declared bankrupt provided it is not vacated within thirty (30) days from the date of such filing, or (vi) the execution by Seller of any assignment for the benefit of creditors. Buyer shall have no obligations to Seller in respect of the cancelled portion of this contract and Buyer’s liability shall be limited to payment for the delivered portion of this contract at the rate specified on the face hereof (reflecting quantity prices as though this Purchase Order had gone to full completion). If, as a result of default of performance by the Seller, this contract is terminated in whole or in part and it is necessary to procure any of the specified products or services elsewhere, then Seller will be liable for any reprocurement charges which exceed the amount which would have been due to Seller if he had satisfactorily completed this contract. Seller agrees that any delay in delivery or other failure to perform, resulting from Seller’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the standards and regulations issued thereunder, shall not be deemed an excusable delay or otherwise excuse Seller from performance as required. These remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to any other or further remedies provided in law or in equity.
Buyer may, for its convenience, terminate work under this Purchase Order, in whole or in part, at any time by giving notice to Seller in writing. Seller will thereupon immediately stop work on this Purchase Order or the terminated portion thereof and notify any subcontractors to do likewise, and shall take all steps reasonable to minimize the occurrence of costs allocable to work covered by this purchase order. Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement for its actual costs incurred up to and including the date of termination; such costs to be determined in accordance with recognized accounting principles. Seller shall also be entitled to a reasonable profit on the work done prior to such termination at a rate not exceeding the rate used in establishing the original purchase price.

Buyer will notify Seller in writing of any Claim made against Buyer by a third party, in due course, allow Seller to control the defense of a Claim if doing so does not create a conflict for Seller’s legal counsel, and reasonably cooperate, at Seller’s expense, with Seller in the defense and any related settlement negotiations. In addition to any defense provided by Seller, Buyer may, at its expense, retain its own counsel. If Seller does not promptly assume Buyer’s defense against such Claim or if such a conflict is reasonably deemed by Buyer to exist for Seller’s legal counsel, Buyer may undertake its own defense at Seller’s expense. Seller will not settle or compromise any Claim without Buyer’s prior written consent unless (i) the terms of such settlement or compromise release Buyer from any and all liability with respect thereto and (ii) no injunction or other equitable relief is issued against any of the Buyer Parties.
