Any changes in these Terms must specifically be agreed to in writing and signed by an officer of Seller before becoming binding. Receipt by Buyer of any products sold hereunder shall be conclusively deemed acceptance of these Terms. These terms and conditions govern the sale of product in the United States and Buyer is expressly prohibited from selling product outside the United States unless authorized by Seller.

Buyer agrees to purchase any and all insurance it deems necessary to indemnify it against any loss in shipping. Buyer will determine any export license requirements, obtain any export license or other official authorization, and carry out any customs formalities for the export of goods.

Buyer agrees to make all payments pursuant to the payment terms specified in the approval letter or other notice that Seller provides to Buyer. If Seller does not receive payment for an invoice by the payment due date, the entire outstanding balance of all open invoices on Buyer’s account shall become immediately due and payable. Buyer agrees to pay Seller a late charge in the amount of 1.5% (or the maximum rate permitted by law if less) of the delinquent amount remaining of the entire outstanding balance of all invoices on the first payment due date after Buyer’s failure to pay and monthly thereafter. Buyer may not set off invoiced amounts against sums that are due from Seller. Seller’s extension of credit is subject to Buyer maintaining its current credit standing. Credit memos must be used on outstanding balances or future purchases. In the event Buyer’s account with Seller is dormant for more than three (3) months and has a credit balance, Seller may apply such balance against any future purchases at any time at Seller’s discretion until such credit balance is used in full. For accounts past due longer than 90 days with open credits, Seller may apply such credits against any debit balance which has remained open for 90 days or more.
All invoice disputes must be submitted to Seller in writing within 30 days following the date of any such invoice. Thereafter, and absent written notice prior to the expiration of 30 days from the invoice date, Buyer waives any and all rights it may have to dispute the validity, existence or amount of such invoice.
Buyer will comply with all import, export and re-export control laws and regulations as required. Export of product without the proper license is prohibited.
