Purchase Order Terms and Conditions
Entire Agreement.
These terms and conditions (“Terms”), together with those stated on the attached purchase order and any addenda or other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties (the “Order”) and supersedes all other written or oral understandings, agreements, contracts and communications with respect to the products or services covered by this Order. This Order apply to any repaired or replacement products provided by Seller hereunder. Buyer is not obligated to any minimum purchase or future purchase obligations under this Order.
Acceptance.
This Order may be revoked at any time prior to acceptance by Seller. Upon written acceptance of this Order, or upon shipment of products or commencement of services, Seller shall be bound by the provisions of this Order. Any terms or conditions not consistent with this Order are rejected and the terms of this Order prevail over all other terms or conditions contained in any of Seller’s invoices, general terms and conditions of sale or any other document provided by Seller.
Invoicing; Payment.
Invoices will be provided in duplicate, along with Buyer’s return copy, showing Order number, through-routing and weight, within 24 hours after shipment or same day if overnight shipment. Separate invoices will be provided for each shipment. Bills of lading and shipping notices must be forwarded with each invoice. Applicable taxes and other charges such as shipping costs, duties, customs, tariffs, imposts and government imposed surcharges shall be stated separately on Seller’s invoice. Each invoice submitted by Seller must reference this Order, and Buyer reserves the right to return all incorrect invoices. Unless otherwise specified on the face of a purchase order, Buyer shall pay the invoiced amount within sixty (60) days after receipt of a correct invoice. Buyer shall pay Seller the lower of (i) the amount agreed upon and specified in the this Order, or (ii) Seller’s quoted price on date of shipment (for products), or the date services were started (for services). Payment by Buyer shall not constitute acceptance. Seller represents and warrants that the price for the products or services is the lowest price charged by Seller to any of its external buyers for similar volumes of similar products or services. If Seller charges any other buyer a lower price, Seller must apply that price to all products or services under this Order. If Seller fails to meet the lower price, Buyer, at its option, may terminate this Order without liability.
Shipping and Delivery.
Time is of the essence. Delivery shall be made pursuant to the schedule, via the carrier to the place and on the delivery date (“Delivery Date”) specified on the face of this Order. Shipments must conform to the quantity ordered unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer. Delivery must be 100% completed by the Delivery Date and if Seller fails to do so, Buyer may terminate this Order or require Seller to make shipment by air freight at Seller’s expense. Buyer reserves the right to return, shipping charges collect, all products received in advance of the delivery schedule. If no delivery schedule is specified, delivery will be made by using standard ground transportation. If no method of shipment is specified in the purchase order, Seller shall use the least expensive carrier. Seller shall package all items in suitable containers to permit safe transportation and handling. Buyer’s Order number must appear on all shipping containers, packing sheets, delivery tickets and bills of lading. Adequate protective packing and opaque wrap for pallets will be furnished at no additional charge. A packing memorandum/packing list will be enclosed with each shipment; and when more than one package is shipped, the package containing the memorandum will be conspicuously identified. Seller must provide a complete IMEI/ESN list with unlock codes (if applicable) sent via email in Excel format separated per make, model and color at time of shipment. All products and services shall be delivered to the address specified in this Order (the “Delivery Location”) during Buyer’s normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by Buyer.
Title and Risk of Loss.
Identification of products under § 2-501 of the Florida Uniform Commercial Code occurs at the moment this Order is accepted by Seller. Title to products and risk of loss will remain with Seller until Buyer actually inspects and accepts the goods at its place of business. Acceptance by Buyer of a partial shipment will not be deemed to constitute acceptance of the entire Order.
Inspection and Rejection of Products.
Buyer has the right to inspect the products on or after the Delivery Date. Buyer, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the products, and may reject all or any portion of the products if it determines the products are nonconforming or defective. If Buyer rejects any portion of the products, Buyer has the right to: (a) rescind this Order in its entirety; (b) accept the products at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject the products and require replacement of the rejected products. If Buyer requires replacement of the products, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly replace the nonconforming products and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective products and the delivery of replacement products. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement products, Buyer may replace them with products from a third party and charge Seller the cost thereof and terminate this Order. Any inspection or other action by Buyer under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under this Order, and Buyer shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
Use of Information.
Any specifications, drawings, sketches, models, samples, tools, technical information or data, written, oral or otherwise furnished to Seller by Buyer will remain Buyer’s property. All copies of such information in written, graphic or other tangible form will be returned to Buyer upon Buyer’s request unless such information was already known to Seller free of any obligation to keep it confidential, or has been or is subsequently made public by Buyer or a third party. Seller will keep such information confidential and use it only for purposes of this Agreement. No information furnished by Seller to Buyer will be considered by Buyer to be confidential unless Seller so notifies Buyer in writing at the time furnished.
Insignias; Advertising.
Products or services rejected or not accepted by Buyer which utilize any of Buyer’s names, trade names, trademarks, insignia, symbols, decorative designs or evidences of its inspection (“Insignia”) will have all Insignia removed prior to any sale, use or disposition thereof. Seller will not utilize any of Buyer’s Insignias, symbols or decorative designs in any of Seller’s advertising, promotional material or reference material without the prior written consent of Buyer.
