Issuance of a purchase order or acceptance of the Products by Purchaser constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Contract. Any additional or different terms or modifications to this Contract proposed by Purchaser, whether in a purchase order or otherwise, are expressly rejected by Seller and are not part of this Contract.

2. Price. Prices in a quotation are valid for sixty 60 days from date of quotation. Except where otherwise prohibited by law, all applicable sales, excise, use or similar taxes or charges for the sale of Products will be in addition to the stated price and paid by Purchaser. Consequently, fees, prices, charges and other amounts payable to Seller hereunder do not include any sales, use, excise, value added or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which shall be the sole responsibility of Customer, including – without limitation any taxes or costs related to the compliance with the U.S. Affordable Care Act. Seller reserves the right to increase any price in the event of increased costs beyond Seller’s reasonable control including, without limitation: (a) raw material costs; (b) modifications to specifications or Product acceptance criteria requested by Purchaser; or (c) price of goods manufactured by others and re-sold by Seller.

3. Payment and Retention of Title. The timely payment shall be of the essence. Purchaser agrees to pay, without offset, all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days from date of Seller’s invoice. Overdue payments shall bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annum (1.5% per month) or the maximum rate permitted by law. Seller shall have the right, among other remedies, including the right of setoff, either to terminate this Contract or to suspend further deliveries under this Contract and/or other agreements with Purchaser in the event Purchaser fails to make any payment when due. Purchaser shall be liable for all expenses related to collection of past due amounts, including attorneys’ fees. Seller may require full or partial payment in advance of shipment or change credit or payment terms if, in Seller’s opinion, the credit or financial condition of Purchaser is, or is about to become, impaired. If Purchaser requests delayed shipment, Seller may bill for Products when ready for shipment and charge reasonable daily storage fees. The Purchaser shall not be entitled for any reason whatsoever to withhold or set-off payment for Products delivered.

Seller shall retain the ownership of the Products until the Seller has received payment in full for the Products and/or equipment and tooling in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Purchaser will execute any related paperwork required by Seller. Seller is entitled to immediately, without prior notice claim back any and all of our Products in case of non-performances or breaches of Contract by the Purchaser, whereas the legitimate interests of the Purchaser will be reasonably considered.

The Purchaser is entitled to resell or process the purchased item or mix or combine it with other goods in the scope of his ordinary business only; however, he hereby assigns to Seller all claims resulting from resale, processing, mixing, combining or other causes in law related to the purchased item. Purchaser is authorised to collect debt claims from the resale assigned to Seller as long as Seller has not revoked this authorisation.
The retention of title shall also apply to such new goods resulting from such processing, mixing or combining of the purchased items with other goods in their full amount. These processes shall be construed as being performed on Seller’s behalf so that Seller shall be deemed to be the manufacturer and original owner of any newly created product. If a single title in the new product is not possible, Seller shall acquire joint ownership at a ratio of the objective value of the Products combined or mixed. If Seller’s title ceases as a result of combining or mixing, the Purchaser shall transfer to Seller now his title and/or expectant rights of the new stock or item to the extent of the invoice value of Products delivered by Seller, and shall hold them in custody on Seller’s behalf at no charge with due care and diligence as a prudent businessman and shall insure them as well as jointly owned goods against fire, burglary and other usual risks.

If the Purchaser violates the contract, in particular by delays in payment, Seller shall be entitled to recover the Products; the Purchaser hereby gives his advance consent to this recovery in such a case. The recovery shall be considered as a termination of contract only if explicitly stated by Seller. All costs incurred by the recovery (in particular transport costs) shall be paid for by the Purchaser.
