(“Seller”) has agreed to sell to the Buyer (“Buyer”) identified in the accompanying sales quotation (the “Quotation”) the Parts, Product or Products/Instruments listed on the Quotation (each a “Product,” collectively the “Products”) on the express condition that Buyer agrees to accept and be bound by the terms and conditions of sale set forth herein (these “Terms and Conditions”). Buyer’s acceptance of the Quotation constitutes Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. To the extent any conflict may arise between these Terms and Conditions and terms and conditions Buyer may have proposed to Seller (including any such terms and conditions which are part of Buyer’s purchase order), these Terms and Conditions shall control. All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by an authorized representative of the Seller. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, all sales are subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. PRICE. All prices quoted by Seller or Seller’s representatives are valid for 45 days, unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller. If no price has been quoted, the Seller’s price in effect at the time of shipment of the Products shall control. All prices may change at any time without notice and are subject to adjustment for specifications, quantities, raw materials, cost of production, shipment arrangements, or other terms or conditions which are not included in Seller’s original quote.

2. TAXES. Buyer shall be solely responsible for all sales, use, or excise taxes that Seller may be required to collect with respect to the sale and transportation of the Products or Services delivered to Buyer hereunder, except in the case in which Buyer provides Seller written proof of Buyer’s exemption from such taxes.

3. PAYMENT. All payments for Products shipped shall be due and payable in accordance with payments terms agreed to and included in the Quotation. If not explicitly stated in the Quotation, Sales payment terms shall be as follows:

4. DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS.

(a) The Products shall be shipped to the address specified by Buyer on the Buyer’s PurchaseOrder and confirmed by the Seller’s Sales Order. All shipping dates are approximate only, and Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any delay in delivery or failure to deliver due to any cause beyond Seller’s reasonable control or because of customer delays.

(c) Rights of ownership, risk of loss and transfer of title are all conveyed to the Buyer FOB Shipping point if Product is shipped via a third-party common carrier. Rights of ownership, risk of loss and transfer of title are all conveyed to buyer at time of delivery if Product is delivered by FSG personal.

(d) Seller reserves the right to make partial shipments of the Products and to invoice each shipment separately. Seller additionally reserves the right to terminate an order or reschedule the shipment within a reasonable time. Buyer shall not be entitled to refuse delivery or otherwise be relieved of any obligations as the result of such delay. Products as to which delivery is delayed due to any cause within Buyer’s control may be placed in storage by Seller at Buyer’s risk and expense and for Buyer’s account.

5. CHANGES BY BUYER; CANCELLATION. A Buyer Purchase Order that Seller acknowledged via a Sales Order shall not be modified or canceled without Seller’s prior written consent. In the event Seller consents to modification or cancellation of any order, in addition to adjusting the price, Seller, in its discretion, may impose a reasonable service fee.

6. WARRANTY.

(a) Instruments – Seller warrants that the Products shall operate or perform substantially in conformance with Seller’s published specifications and be free from defects in material and workmanship, when subjected to normal, proper, and intended usage by properly trained personnel, for a period of 12 months from the date of shipment to Buyer (the “Warranty Period”), unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller. Consumables and perishables are expressly excluded from this warranty. Warranty service will not be provided until all payments for Products are received by Seller and made in full. Parts – New or refurbished parts are sold with a 90-day warranty unless otherwise stated in writing by Seller prior to shipment.

(b) EXCEPT AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 6(a), THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE PRODUCTS SHALL BE SUITABLE FOR BUYER’S USE, INCLUDING BUYER’S USE OF THE PRODUCTS IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER MATERIALS OR IN THE PRACTICE OF ANY PROCESS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS DELIVERED HEREUNDER WHETHER USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER MATERIALS OR IN THE PRACTICE OF ANY PROCESS.

(c) In no event shall Seller have any obligation to make repairs, replacements, or corrections required, in whole or in part, as the result of (i) normal wear and tear, (ii) accident, disaster, or event of force majeure, (iii) misuse, fault or negligence of or by Buyer, (iv) use of the Products in a manner for which they were not designed, (v) causes external to the Products such as, but not limited to, power failure or electrical power surges, (vi) improper storage and handling of the Products or (vii) use of the Products in combination with equipment or software not supplied by Seller.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Products supplied by Seller that are obtained by Seller from an original manufacturer or third-party supplier are not warranted by Seller. Seller agrees to assign to Buyer any warranty rights in such Product that Seller may have from the original manufacturer or third-party supplier to the extent such assignment is allowed by such original manufacturer or third-party supplier. The warranty provision of Section 6(a) shall not apply to Products supplied or manufactured by third parties.

7. WARRANTY PROCEDURE

(a) During the Warranty Period, Seller agrees to repair or replace, at Seller’s option, defective Products to cause the same to operate in substantial conformance with published specifications. Buyer agrees to promptly notify Seller through the “Request Service” process listed in section 14 upon the discovery of any defect, which shall include the product model and serial number (if applicable) and details of the warranty claim (the “Claim”); however, any failure by Buyer to provide such notice shall not relieve Seller of its warranty obligations under these Terms and Conditions except to the extent Seller can demonstrate actual prejudice as a result of such failure.

(b) Any maintenance, repair, service or alteration to or of, or other tampering with, the Products performed by any person or entity other than Seller without Seller’s prior written approval, or any use of replacement parts not supplied by Seller, shall immediately void and cancel all warranties concerning the affected Products.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BUYER’S USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS, HOWEVER, CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO SOME BUYERS. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO BUYER FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE LESSER OF (A) THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER CONCERNING THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY OR (B) $1,000.
