TERM AND CONDITIONS OF SALES

APPLICATION AND SCOPE:
The terms and conditions here apply to proposals made and to purchase orders received by Modular Devices, Inc. No conditions stated by the Buyer in its purchase order or orders shall be binding upon the Seller if in conflict with, inconsistent with, or in addition to the terms here and conditions contained here, unless expressly accepted in writing by Seller. Seller's failure to object to any provision contained in any communication or purchase order from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of these terms and conditions. All orders or contracts are subject to approval and acceptance by Seller at its main office in SHIRLEY, NEW YORK 11967. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the quotation, all orders are non-cancelable.

QUOTATIONS AND F.O.B. POINT:
For Domestic orders, prices are quoted and all sales are made F.O.B. Shirley, New York. For International orders, see MDI quotation. Prices and delivery are based solely on the requirements as set forth in request for quotation. Prices are subject to change without notice. Minimum factory order value $100.00.

TERMS OF PAYMENT:
(In case of conflict, the terms outlined on the MDI quotation will take precedence)

All invoices, which will be submitted on Seller's standard form, are due and payable in full thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Each shipment made shall be considered a separate and independent transaction, and payment therefore shall be made accordingly. If shipments are delayed by Buyer, payments shall become due on the date when Seller is prepared to make shipment. Products held for Buyer because of Buyer's delay in acceptance shall be at the risk and expense of Buyer. If in the judgment of Seller, the financial condition of Buyer at any time does not justify continuation or production or shipment on the terms of payment originally specified. Seller may require full or partial payment in advance or may ship the Buyer's order and make collection by sight draft with bill of lading attached.

WARRANTY:
The products covered herein are warranted, for a period of 1 YEAR from the date of shipment, against defects under normal use and service by Buyer. No other warranties are to be implied with respect thereto.

In no event will Seller be liable for collateral or consequential damages. Warranty applies to customer owned parts only.

WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT TERMS:

  1. Adjustments will be limited to claims which are presented, within the aforesaid warranty period, promptly after the product is found to be defective.

  2. All products claimed to be defective will be subject to inspection and test by Seller. Normally, Seller will request return of products for inspection and test; however, Seller reserves the right to make inspection and test on Buyer's premises.

  5. Determination as to whether any adjustment is allowable, and as to the extent thereof, rests with Seller. Full adjustment, if allowable, normally will be made by replacement in kind on an exchange basis. Pro rata adjustment, if allowed, normally will be made by the issuance of credit. In all cases, however, Seller reserves the right to make adjustment by repair, replacement or credit.
  6. Any dispute, controversy, or misunderstanding arising out of or in connection with this transaction, unless the same is amicably and mutually disposed of by the parties, shall be submitted to the courts of the State of New York.

The delivery of part of any order shall not obligate Seller to make further deliveries and Seller reserves the right to decline servicing any order in whole or in part.
