TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Please read the following Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) carefully. These Terms materially affect the parties’ obligations. Ovention, Inc. (“Seller”) is bargaining for and will do business with Customer (as defined below), as it relates to the matters contained in this Agreement (as defined below), only pursuant to these Terms.  Seller’s acceptance of orders for the purchase of any goods (the “Products”) is expressly subject to and conditioned on the person or entity buying the Products directly from Seller (“Customer”) agreeing to these Terms.

1. CONTRACT FORMATION: All orders for Products are subject to Seller’s acceptance of such order at its office. The provisions of any purchase order or other writing inconsistent with these Terms will not constitute a part of the contract of sale. Seller’s acceptance of any order for Products is conditional on Customer’s agreement to these Terms, which supersede any of Customer’s additional, different or inconsistent terms or conditions. Seller’s acknowledgement of any order includes, either directly or through incorporation by reference, these Terms. If Seller does not receive written objection to any of these Terms within ten (10) days after Customer receives the document referencing these Terms from Seller, or if Customer accepts delivery of the Products, whichever occurs first, these Terms shall be deemed accepted by Customer.  The failure of Seller to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or communication from Customer shall not be construed as an acceptance of any such provision or as a waiver of these Terms.  Without limiting the foregoing, Seller expressly objects to all additional or contradictory terms specified in any other acknowledgement, purchase order, confirmation or other document pertaining to the Products, including without limitation those terms and conditions regarding warranty and indemnity. No online or electronic terms or conditions of Customer will be binding on Seller even though such terms were “accepted” in order to access or use a system. These Terms, together with the email, price quotation, order acknowledgement, or other similar form issued by Seller and referencing or relating to these Terms (together, this “Agreement”) is intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement and are intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of the matters thereof and hereof.  Seller reserves the right to update these Terms at any time, at its sole discretion, and becomes binding upon the date of publishing.

2. CHANGES; CANCELLATIONS: Requests by Customer for cancellation, termination, modification, suspension, or delay in shipment of Customer’s order are subject to acceptance or rejection by Seller in its sole discretion.  Such requests will not be accepted on terms that do not fully indemnify and reimburse Seller against any loss associated therewith.  Such indemnity must include recovery of all costs incurred, including normal indirect and overhead charges, and a normal profit.  Seller generally will not approve any change to an order proposed by Customer less than thirty (30) days prior to shipment.  In addition to any remedies that may be provided under these Terms or applicable law, Seller may terminate this Agreement or any order, in whole or in part, without liability and with immediate effect upon notice to Customer for any reason or no reason at all, including without limitation if Customer (a) fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement or any other orders from Customer, (b) has not otherwise performed or complied with any term of this Agreement or any other orders from Customer, in whole or in part, or (c) becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy, or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. The termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any indemnification or confidentiality obligation of Customer hereunder.
3. PAYMENT, TERMS AND PRICES: Unless otherwise agreed to in a writing signed by Seller: (a) quoted prices are those in effect at the time of quotation and are based upon delivery in a single lot unless otherwise stated in the written quotation or proposal from Seller; (b) all prices are subject to increases or adjustment at the time of shipment equal to any additional costs incurred by Seller as a result of any changes in laws, regulations or orders or any raw material or labor price increases from the date of any quotation or order; and (c) payment is due and payable within thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Any manufacturer’s, retailer’s, occupation, use, sales or excise tax, duty, custom, inspection or testing fee or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any governmental authority on or measured by any transaction between Seller and Customer shall be paid by Customer in addition to the contract price as quoted or invoiced unless Seller specifically states in writing that such taxes or charges are included in the contract price. In the event Seller is required to pay any such tax, fee or charge, Customer shall reimburse Seller therefor or, in lieu of such payment, at the time the order is submitted, Customer shall provide Seller an acceptable certificate exempting Seller from any such tax, fee or charge.
4. ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCTS: All claims for errors or shortages or damaged Products must be made by Customer within ten (10) days after Products are received. Failure to make any such claims within such time is deemed to constitute Customer’s irrevocable acceptance of Products.  All weights, measurements, dimensions, drawings, specifications and other particulars of the Products, whether contained in plans, photographs, catalogs, price lists or advertising material or otherwise, are only approximate and are included solely for Customer’s guidance.  Such particulars do not form part of this Agreement or any other contract, and deviations or subsequent changes are not grounds for nonacceptance of the Products and do not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
5. DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS: Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, all shipments are EXW (Incoterms 2010) Seller’s dock. All risk of loss and title to the Products shall pass to the Customer at the point of Seller’s delivery of the Products to the carrier.  Seller will make all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Customer’s requests as to method of transportation; provided, however, that Seller reserves the right to use an alternate method of transportation if the method specified by the Customer is deemed by Seller to be unavailable or otherwise unsatisfactory.  Customer agrees that shipments are to be routed “Best Way”.  Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and Seller shall not be held responsible for failure to meet such estimated dates.  Seller shall not be liable for any costs, expenses or damages of any nature (whether general, consequential, as a penalty or liquidated or otherwise) arising out of or owing to (a) any delays in delivery or (b) failure to make delivery at agreed or specified times due to circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes or labor difficulties, acts or omissions of any governmental authority or Customer, accident, pandemic (including any “shelter-in-place” or similar government order), insurrection or riot, fires, floods, breakdown of essential machinery, war or terrorism, embargoes, shortages, delays in transportation or inability to obtain labor, services, energy, fuels or materials from usual sources. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.
6. SECURITY INTEREST: Customer hereby grants to Seller and Seller hereby retains a security interest in all the Products and accessories and additions thereto sold by Seller and held by Customer, wherever located, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, all spare parts and components therefor, and all proceeds of the sale or other disposition including, without limitation, cash, accounts, contract rights, instruments and chattel paper.  Customer shall join with Seller in executing one or more financing statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code if requested by Seller and then in a form satisfactory to Seller to evidence and perfect Seller’s security interest in the Products.  In the event Customer shall be in default under this Agreement, Seller shall have the remedies of a secured party under applicable law, including without limitation the Uniform Commercial Code, and Seller may thereupon enter the premises of Customer and remove the Products and make them available to Seller for repossession.  Customer agrees to pay Seller’s attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Seller in collecting any amounts due hereunder or in otherwise exercising its rights and remedies hereunder.  Seller may set off any amount due Customer, whether or not due under this Agreement, against any amount that may become due to Seller hereunder.
7. WARRANTY, EXCLUSIVE REMEDY: Seller warrants that the Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service and when stored, maintained, and installed in strict accordance with factory recommendations.  Seller’s sole obligation to Customer under this warranty is the repair or replacement by Seller or a Seller-authorized service agency, at Seller’s option, of any Product or any part thereof deemed defective upon Seller’s examination, for a period of: (i) the Warranty Duration from the date of purchase by Seller or (ii) the Warranty Duration from the date of Product registration in accordance with Seller’s written instructions, whichever is later.  The “Warranty Duration” shall mean a period of one (1) year or the periods set forth below for specific Product components.  Credit for Products or parts returned with the prior written permission of Seller will be subject to the terms shown on Seller’s material return authorization form.  PRODUCTS OR PARTS RETURNED WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION OF SELLER WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT.  Expenses incurred by Customer in returning, replacing or removing the Products will not be reimbursed by Seller. If the defect comes under the terms of the limited warranty, the Products will be repaired or replaced and returned to the Customer and the cost of return freight will be paid by Seller. The remedy of repair or replacement provided for herein is Customer’s exclusive remedy.  Any improper use, alteration, repairs, tampering, misapplication, improper installation, application of improper voltage or any other action or inaction by Customer or others (including the use of any unauthorized service agency) that in Seller’s sole judgment adversely affects the Product shall void this warranty.  The warranty expressly provided herein may only be asserted by Customer and may not be asserted by Customer’s customers or other users of the Products; provided, however, that if Customer is an authorized equipment dealer of Seller, Customer may assign the warranty herein to Customer’s customers, subject to all of the limitations of these Terms, and in such case, the warranty shall be exclusively controlled by Seller in accordance with these Terms.  THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID TO SELLER BY CUSTOMER FOR THE PRODUCTS WITHIN THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO CUSTOMER’S CLAIM.  THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN REGARDING SELLER’S LIABILITY SHALL BE VALID AND ENFORCEABLE NOTWITHSTANDING A FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THE LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN SECTION 7.
