TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Offer and Acceptance:
1. These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) by the seller named on the reverse side of these Terms (“Seller”) to the purchase of said Goods (“Buyer”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
2. The accompanying invoice (the “Sales Confirmation,” collectively with these Terms, the “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
3. All provisions and prices are subject to change after thirty (30) days from the date of this Sales Confirmation. Buyer’s acceptance of the Goods sold hereunder shall constitute Buyer’s acceptance of this Agreement.
Price:

Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at the prices (the “Prices”) set forth in Seller’s published price list in force as of the date that Seller accepts Buyer’s purchase order. If the Prices should be increased by Seller before delivery of the Goods to a carrier for shipment to Buyer, then these Terms shall be construed as if the increased prices were originally inserted herein, and Buyer shall be billed by Seller on the basis of such increased prices. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts payable by Buyer, Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Seller’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets.

3. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach or otherwise.
4. Buyer’s failure to make any payment in accordance with this Agreement, or to accept delivery of Seller’s Goods in accordance with Seller’s shipping schedules, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and any other contract that may be entered into between Seller and Buyer. Upon such breach, Seller may (i) suspend deliveries of Goods until it receives Buyer’s payment, and/or (ii) Seller may terminate this Agreement. As a result of any failure of Buyer described in this Section 4(d), Buyer shall be liable to Seller for all damages, losses and liabilities, including without limitation consequential and special damages. In addition to any other damages and remedies set forth herein, in the event that Buyer fails to take delivery of Goods specifically fabricated for Buyer, Buyer shall pay Seller the full purchase price for such Goods, whether such Goods were accepted by Buyer or not.
Delivery:

Quoted delivery dates are Seller’s best estimates. Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery or failure to deliver resulting from circumstances beyond Seller’s control. Buyer’s acceptance of delivery shall constitute a waiver of any claim against Seller for delay. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order.

1. SELLER WARRANTS THAT THE GOODS SOLD HEREUNDER SHALL BE FREE OF DEFECTS IN MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP FOR ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT, EXCEPT FOR PROBES WHICH THE SELLER WARRANTS FOR SIX MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

Regardless of whether Seller has undertaken responsibility for the cost of shipping the Goods for purposes of a warranty claim or a repair warranty as set forth in Section 7 hereof; prior to such shipment, Buyer shall contact Seller to determine whether any special packaging is required for shipment. Buyer’s failure to obtain such determination from Seller, or having obtained such determination, Buyer’s failure to follow Seller’s instructions, shall limit or eliminate Seller’s warranty obligations to the extent improper packaging caused or could reasonably be deemed to have caused damage to the Goods.
