If any Buyer credit account purchase is not paid in accordance with Seller's credit payment terms, in addition to any other remedies allowed by law, Seller may refuse to make further shipments without advance payment by Buyer.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Seller to sell any Parts or Equipment to Buyer on credit terms at any time, or prohibiting Seller from making any and all credit decisions which it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate for Seller.  Unless otherwise stated all prices quoted are valid for 30 days only (the “Validity Period”) or until earlier acceptance by Buyer. If the Validity Period expires without acceptance by the Buyer the price may be altered by the Seller without giving notice to the Buyer. The Seller reserves the right by giving notice to the Buyer at any time to increase the purchase price of the Equipment to reflect any increase in the cost to the Seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller including (but without limitation) any increase in the cost of raw materials, labour or services or duties or any currency fluctuations affecting the cost of imported materials, any alteration of taxes or other levies, any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Equipment requested by the Buyer, any increase in cost of carriage, and any failure of Buyer to provide adequate information or instructions. Unless otherwise specified, the Buyer shall pay the purchase price upon notification that the Equipment is available for delivery.  Such payment shall be made without any deduction and notwithstanding that the Buyer may not have collected the Equipment and or that the title to the equipment has not passed to Buyer.

Buyer agrees that it will be responsible for filing all tax returns and paying applicable tax, duty, export preparation charge and export documentation charge resulting from the purchase of the Products.  In addition, in the event any other similar tax is determined to apply to Buyer's purchase of the Products from Seller, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all such other similar taxes, duties and fees. The amount of any present or future taxes applicable to the sale, transfer, lease or use of the Equipment shall be paid by Buyer; or in lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate satisfactory to the applicable taxing authority proving that no such tax is due and payable upon such sale, transfer, lease or use. 

4. Title, Property, Risk and Delivery. Unless otherwise stated in writing, for all orders, all prices are FCA, Seller's premises, Incoterms 2000 ©.  Notwithstanding risk in the Products passing to the Buyer on delivery, legal title in the Products shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in full all sums due to it in respect of the Products and all other sums which are or which become due to the Seller from the Buyer on any account.  The Buyer is authorized by the Seller to use the Products in the ordinary course of its business or to sell the Products to a third party pursuant to a bona fide and arms length transaction at full market value.  Until the Seller has received all sums due to the Seller with respect to the Products: (a) the Buyer will hold the Products in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the Seller; (b) the Products shall, subject to the provisions of this section be: (i) insured with a reputable insurance company for their full replacement value against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller and on request the Buyer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Seller, (ii) kept complete and in good repair and condition and free from damage and/or tampering; (c) the Buyer will not obliterate or remove any identifying marks on the Products and shall, if requested in writing by the Seller cause a note to be made in its book keeping records and also where possible a notice to be affixed to the Products indicating that the Products remain the property of the Seller; and (d) the Seller, its representatives, agents or auditors shall be entitled at all reasonable times to examine the Buyer's book keeping records and the Products to satisfy themselves that the note referred to above has been made and that the notice referred to above is affixed to the Products and has not been obscured. 

The Buyer's right to possession and power of sale contained in the foregoing sentences shall automatically cease if the Buyer (being a corporation) has a petition presented for its winding up or administration or passes a resolution for voluntary winding-up otherwise than for the purposes of a bona fide amalgamation or reconstruction or has a receiver, manager administrator or administrative receiver appointed over all or any part of its assets or documents are filed with the court for the appointment of an administrator of the Buyer or notice of intention to appoint an administrator is given by the Buyer or its directors or by a qualifying floating charge holder (as defined in paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 or (being an individual) becomes bankrupt or enters into any arrangements with its creditors or takes or suffers any similar action in consequence or carries out or undergoes any analogous act or proceedings under foreign law or ceases or threatens to cease carrying on business.  Until such time as the Seller has received payment of all sums due to the Seller with respect to the Products, the Buyer shall place any of the Products still in existence in its possession or under its control at the disposal of the Seller and if required by the Seller immediately deliver the Products to the Seller; provided that Products purchased by the Purchaser for resale may be sold subject to the rights of the Seller to attach the proceeds of such sale. 

The Seller (including its representatives, agents and employees) is irrevocably authorised by the Buyer at any time to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Products are or may be stored in order to inspect them or where the Buyer's right to possession has terminated for the purpose of repossessing, removing and if necessary dismantling such Products for the purposes of removal.  The Seller shall at any time be entitled to appropriate any payment made by the Buyer in settlement of any invoices in respect of such Products as the Seller may in its absolute discretion think appropriate notwithstanding any purported appropriation to the contrary by the Buyer.  Where the Seller is unable to determine if any Products are subject to this paragraph, the Buyer shall be deemed to have sold all goods of the kind sold by the Seller to the Buyer in the order in which they were invoiced to the Buyer.  The Seller has the right to maintain an action against the Buyer for the price.  Nothing in these Terms and Conditions of Sale or any other contract will constitute the Buyer the agent of the Seller in respect of the resale of the Products so as to confer upon a third party any rights against the Seller.  If the Buyer pledges or in any way charges by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Products for which the Seller has not received cleared funds of all sums due to the Seller with respect to the Products, all money owed by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) immediately become due and payable.  Following any sale of the Products to a third party pursuant to a bona fide and arms length transaction in accordance with this paragraph 4, the Buyer shall hold the proceeds of sale on behalf of the Seller and the Buyer shall account accordingly.  The entire proceeds of any sale or otherwise (whether tangible or intangible and including without limitation any insurance proceeds) are to be: (a) held by the Buyer in a fiduciary capacity for the Seller and are kept separate from and not mixed with other money or property of the Buyer or any third party; (b) in the case of cash, not paid into an overdrawn bank account; (c) at all times identifiable as the Seller's money or property; and (d) in the case of tangible proceeds properly stored, protected and insured.  If any provision of this paragraph 4 (or part of any provision) is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force.  If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with whatever modification is necessary to give effect to the commercial intention of the parties.

Any claims for loss, damage or delay in transit must be entered and prosecuted by the Buyer directly with the carrier, who is hereby deemed to be the agent of the Buyer.  Seller shall not be liable for any delay in performance of any of its obligations under these Conditions including without limitation delivery of the Equipment, or for any damages suffered by Buyer by reason of delay, when the delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Seller including, without limitation, those circumstances listed in paragraph 18 below.  In the event delay is caused by Buyer's failure to furnish necessary information with respect to data and details for Buyer's specifications, Seller may extend the date of despatch for a reasonable time, but in no event longer than five (5) days.  In the event delay in despatch is caused by Buyer or at Buyer's request, and the Products are not [shipped] within five (5) days from the first date they are ready to be [shipped], Seller may, in its sole discretion, sell such Products to another buyer without any liability or responsibility to Buyer whatsoever.  All payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable invoice.  In addition, storage charges due to delay in furnishing delivery instructions, arranging and establishing a method of payment satisfactory to Seller, or submitting valid import permits or licenses, or any other delay caused by Buyer or at Buyer’s request, will be for the account of Buyer.  Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery.

WITHOUT  PREJUDICE TO THE GENERALITY OF THESE CONDITIONS, THE SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE OR FOR ANY OTHER INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, LOSS OF USE, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, LABOUR OR EMPLOYMENT COSTS, LOSS OF USE OF OTHER EQUIPMENT, DOWNTIME OR HIRE CHARGES, improper performance or work, LOSS OF SERVICE OF PERSONNEL, LOSS OF CONTRACT OR OPPORTUNITY AND PENALTIES OF ANY KIND DUE TO DELAY IN SCHEDULED DELIVERY, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE SELLER.  Claims for shortages in shipments shall be deemed waived and released by Buyer unless made in writing within five (5) days after Buyer's receipt of the Products.  [Seller's responsibility for delivery [shipment] shall cease upon delivery of the Products to the [place of shipment][carrier or other person nominated by the Buyer], and all claims occurring thereafter shall be made to or against the carrier by Buyer.]

5. Cancellation. Prior to delivery to place of shipment, an Equipment or Parts order may be cancelled only with Seller's prior written consent and upon terms indemnifying Seller from all resulting losses and damages. Seller shall have the right to cancel and refuse to complete an Equipment or Parts order if any term and/or condition governing this agreement are not complied with by Buyer.  In the event of cancellation by Seller, or in the event Seller consents to a request by Buyer to stop work or to cancel the whole or any part of any order, Buyer shall make reimbursement to Seller, as follows: (i) any and all work that can be completed within (30) days from date of notification to stop work on account of cancellation shall be completed, shipped and paid in full; and (ii) for work in progress and any materials and supplies procured or for which definite commitments have been made by Seller in connection with the order, Buyer shall pay such sums as may be required to fully compensate Seller for actual costs incurred.  Buyer may not cancel any order after Seller's delivery to place of shipment.  Orders for "Special" Equipment may not be cancelled after acceptance, except by Seller.  Items of "Special" Equipment are those that differ from standard Seller specifications, have a limited market, or incorporate specifications that have been determined for a specific application.  Determination of whether an item of Equipment is “Special” shall be made by Seller in its sole discretion.

6. Inspection and Acceptance of Equipment. Buyer agrees that it shall inspect the Equipment immediately after receipt and promptly (in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt) notify Seller in writing of any non-conformity or defect. Buyer further agrees that failure to give such prompt notice or the commercial use or resale of the Equipment shall constitute acceptance.  Acceptance shall be final and Buyer waives the right to revoke acceptance for any reason, whether or not known by Buyer at the time of such acceptance.  The giving of any such notice by Buyer shall automatically cause the provisions of Seller’s warranty to apply and govern the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties with respect to such nonconformity or defect, provided under no circumstances shall rejection give rise to any liability of Seller for indirect damages or losses of any kind, including, without limitation, loss of use, lost revenues or lost profits. 

7. Warranty. Seller warrants its new Equipment, to be free of defects in material or workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of sale to the end-user provided that Buyer sends Seller written notice of the defect within thirty (30) days of its discovery and establishes to the Seller's satisfaction that: (i) the Equipment has been maintained and operated within the limits of rated and normal usage, and that there have been no alterations to it; and (ii) the defect did not result in any manner from the intentional or negligent action or inaction by Buyer or the end-user or any of their respective agents or employees or any person using it.  If requested by Seller, Buyer or the end-user must return the defective Equipment to Seller's manufacturing facility for inspection, and if Buyer or the end-user cannot establish that conditions (i) and (ii) above have been met, then this warranty shall not cover the alleged defect.  Failure to give written notice of defect within such period shall be a waiver of this warranty and any assistance rendered thereafter shall not extend or revive it.  Accessories, assemblies and components included in Equipment of Seller, which are manufactured by third-parties (other than affiliates of Seller) are subject to the warranty of their respective manufacturers.  No warranty shall cover any item on which serial numbers have been altered, defaced or removed.  Maintenance, consumable items and wear parts are not covered by this warranty and are the sole maintenance responsibility of Buyer or the end-user.  This warranty is limited to the first end-user and is not assignable or otherwise transferable without written agreement of the Seller.  THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND ALL OTHER STATUTORY, CONTRACTUAL, TORTIOUS AND COMMON LAW OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITY ON SELLER'S PART ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINED HEREIN.  Seller neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for Seller any other liability in connection with the sale of Seller's Equipment or Parts.  This warranty shall not apply to any of Seller's Equipment or Parts or any part thereof which has been subject to misuse, alteration, abuse, negligence, accident, acts of God or sabotage.  No action by either party shall operate to extend or revive this limited warranty without the prior written consent of Seller.
