Customer Terms & Conditions.

Sales Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance

The following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) apply to all transactions for a good (“Good”) produced by Balda C. Brewer, a part of Craftech Holdings (“BCB”), and to each quotation (defined below), order acknowledgement, and invoice from BCB, as well as to each purchase order (“Purchase Order”) from each customer (“Customer”). These are the only terms and conditions applicable to the sale of BCB’s Goods, except for those relating solely to quantities, shipping instructions, or descriptions of the Goods set forth in the Customer’s Purchase Orders (collectively, “Purchase Order Terms”). Purchase Orders, if accepted by BCB, are accepted subject to the Terms and Conditions set forth herein. BCB hereby rejects any additional or different terms or conditions proposed by the Customer, whether or not contained in any of the Customer’s business forms or on the Customer’s website. Any such additional or different terms and conditions shall be void and of no effect unless set forth in a written agreement signed by an officer, director, or legal counsel (“Authorized Representative”) of BCB that specifically refers to a “modification of” or “deviation from” the language of “BCB’s Global Terms and Conditions.” The parties agree that it is their intention that the battle-of-the-forms provision of Section 2-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code shall not apply to these Terms and Conditions.

2. Quotations

Any quotation or pricing proposal (a quotation or pricing proposal hereinafter “Quotation”) is only valid if in writing and then only for thirty (30) days from the date of the Quotation unless otherwise set forth in such Quotation. All Quotations by BCB are subject to change or withdrawal without prior notice to Customer unless otherwise specifically stated in the Quotation. BCB shall have no obligation to provide, deliver, or sell Goods covered by BCB’s Quotation unless and until BCB issues an order acknowledgement or upon the shipment of Goods by BCB.

3. Prices

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable documents, prices are stated in U.S. Dollars ($USD) and are subject to change without notice. If a raw material or component is subject to a price increase, or if a supplier raises its prices or imposes a surcharge on BCB, BCB reserves the right to increase prices and/or surcharge Customer and Customer agrees to accept such price increase or surcharge until the term of such price increase or surcharge or until the termination of the contract to which these Terms and Conditions apply is reached. BCB reserves the right to charge Customer overtime and other applicable charges to the extent that BCB incurs additional costs in producing Goods due to the actions (or inaction) of Customer. Time of payment is of the essence. All orders are accepted subject to BCB’s price in effect at time of shipment. Customer is responsible to pay for, on or prior to the end of any program, order, etc., any unused materials (packaging, coating materials, etc.) specifically made or acquired for Customer’s order.

4. Terms of Payment

The inspection rights granted to Customer will not affect or alter the payment terms or the timing of Customer’s payment obligations. Under no circumstances will Customer have a right of setoff. BCB shall have the right to offset its payables against its receivables from Customer. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by BCB in BCB’s Quotation, terms of payment are thirty (30) days net from the date of BCB’s invoice. In the event of Customer’s failure to pay BCB timely BCB reserves the right to take any or all of the following actions: (a) any actions allowable under law; (b) withhold shipment of Goods; (c) demand the return of previously shipped Goods; (d) institute new payment terms; and/or (e) cancel any Purchase Orders. Customer agrees to pay interest on overdue invoices at the rate of the lesser of one and one half percent (1½ %) per month or the highest rate permitted by law. If Customer fails to make any payment as required, Customer agrees to indemnify BCB for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and associated expenses incurred by BCB in collecting the past due amount.

5. Credit Approval. All Quotations and shipments to be made hereunder are subject to the approval of BCB’s accounting department. If, in BCB’s sole judgment, the financial viability or responsibility of Customer is or becomes unsatisfactory, then BCB may, at its option and without prejudice to any of its other remedies hereunder or at law or equity, (a) defer or decline to make any shipments hereunder except upon receipt of satisfactory security or cash payments in advance, and / or (b) terminate all Purchase Orders of Customer.

5. Cancellation

BCB reserves the right to cancel any Purchase Orders or releases thereunder, or terminate any Agreement relating to Goods on not less than thirty (30) days notice. Unless specifically agreed to by BCB in writing signed by an Authorized Representative of BCB, once BCB has either accepted a Purchase Order or has begun taking actions with respect to such Purchase Order, such Purchase Order cannot be canceled, terminated or modified by Customer, in whole or in part, except with BCB’s consent in writing signed by an Authorized Representative of BCB and then only upon terms and conditions to be agreed upon which shall include protection of BCB against all losses related to the termination. If Customer nonetheless repudiates the Purchase Order or contract or notifies BCB to proceed no further therewith, BCB shall have the right to deliver all Goods, and Customer agrees to accept same and to pay to BCB the contract price for all such Goods plus reimbursement of any costs associated with the early termination.

6. Inspection / Non-Conforming Shipments

BCB grants Customer the right to inspect Goods for a period of fifteen (15) business days immediately following delivery (“Inspection Period”). Customer must notify BCB of any Goods that do not conform to the terms applicable to its order within the Inspection Period, and afford BCB a reasonable opportunity to inspect such Goods and cure any nonconformity. If Customer fails to provide BCB with a Non-Conformance Report (as defined below) within the Inspection Period, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted such Goods. Customer will have no right to return any Good without BCB’s prior written authorization. Any return authorized by BCB must be made in accordance with BCB’s return policies then in effect and must be accompanied by a written statement by Customer documenting the reason why the Goods were returned. BCB, in its sole discretion, may reject any return of Goods not approved by BCB in accordance with this paragraph or otherwise not returned in accordance with BCB’s then current return policies.

7. Title / Risk of Loss / Delivery

Unless other arrangements are made in writing, BCB anticipates use of common carriers for transport of Goods. Unless specifically otherwise provided in BCB’s invoice or Quotation, the carrier, not BCB, will bill for freight rates and other transportation charges. Freight payments are solely the responsibility of the Customer, to be paid directly by the Customer to the carrier. BCB reserves the right to adjust prices to cover additional costs a) when the Customer specifies that deliveries are to be made in installments that do not conform to BCB’s typical production schedule, and b) when BCB elects to deliver as specified by Customer. All Goods shall be shipped F.O.B. BCB’s plant and shall become the property (if not already the property) of Customer upon delivery to the carrier and receipt of payment in full to BCB. Customer assumes all risk and liability for loss, damage, or destruction, as well as the results of any use or misuse by third parties who may acquire or use the Goods illicitly after the delivery to the carrier. Unless mutually agreed upon in writing, shipping dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information. BCB reserves the right to ship items in a single or multiple shipments.

8. Indemnification

Customer shall indemnify and hold BCB harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, suits, actions, proceedings, damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees), etc. incident to or arising out of or in connection with or relating to any breach of this Agreement or Customer’s negligent or willful acts related to this Agreement. BCB may participate in any such defense to such extent as it, in its sole discretion, may determine.

9. Warranty

BCB warrants only that the goods contracted for hereunder (a) will conform to the description on the face of the quotation, invoice, packing list, or similar documents, and (b) will be conveyed free and clear of any lien, security interest, or encumbrance created by BCB or any party claiming by, through, or under BCB.

BCB shall have the right to either replace or repair any defective goods (to the extent such defect is proximately caused by BCB), to refund the contract price, to replace (or pay for replacement of) damaged parts, or to grant a reasonable allowance on account of such defects. BCB’s liability and the Customer’s exclusive remedy for defective goods shall be limited solely to re-performance, replacement, repair, refund, or allowance, as BCB may elect.

BCB shall be given a reasonable opportunity to investigate all non-conformance claims.

11. Limitation of Liabilities

Limitation of liabilities and remedies. BCB shall not be liable, and the Customer waives all claims against BCB, for incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, lost profits, or commercial losses, whether or not based upon BCB’s negligence, breach of warranty, strict liability in tort, or any other cause of action. BCB will not be liable to the Customer for any loss, damage, or injury to persons or property resulting from the handling, storage, transportation, resale, or use of its goods in manufacturing processes, in combination with other substances, or otherwise.

Tooling must be paid for in full prior to shipping production parts.

14. Taxes

Customer shall pay to BCB, in addition to the agreed price, the amount of all fees, duties, licenses, tariffs, and all transactions, use, privilege, occupation, excise, value added or other taxes, federal, state, local or foreign, which BCB is required to pay or collect in connection with the Goods contracted for under this Agreement. Failure by BCB to collect any such fees or taxes shall not affect Customer’s obligations hereunder and Customer shall fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless BCB with respect to such tax obligations.
