STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

This document sets forth Seller’s standard sales terms and conditions, together with any conditions contained in the proposal or quotation, if any, previously furnished by Seller (collectively, “Terms”) that will exclusively govern the sale of Seller’s products to Buyer (“Transaction”). If Buyer provide Seller with any pre-printed terms and conditions that appear on any purchase order or other form document, they are rejected and will be of no force or effect. These Terms are deemed a part of and incorporated by reference into all other documents exchanged between Buyer and Seller relating to the sale and purchase of Seller’s products, whether electronic or in writing, including quotations, proposals, acknowledgements, packing slips, invoices and/or purchase orders.

Any additional or different terms in Buyer’s forms or other documents are hereby deemed to be material alterations and notice of objection to them and rejection of them is hereby given such that they will be of no force or effect. No modification of Seller’s terms and conditions will be binding on Seller unless agreed to in writing by Seller. Buyer acknowledges that the prices quoted are based upon the enforceability and acceptance of these Terms, that the price would be substantially higher if these terms did not apply and that Buyer accepts these terms in exchange for such lower prices.
