WE GLADLY ACCEPT YOUR OFFER, BUT THIS ACCEPTANCE IS EXPRESSLY MADE CONDITIONAL ON ASSENT TO OUR ADDITIONAL AND DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The following are the terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") for the sale of products ("Products") by Light-Waves Electronics, Inc. ("Light-Waves") to Light-Waves' customers ("Customer"). 1. ORDERS. Orders will be initiated by Customer issuing a purchase order ("Purchase Order") to Light-Waves. Purchase Orders will identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers, descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. Orders are subject to Light-Waves' acceptance and to these Terms and Conditions. Customer may, without charge, cancel an order for standard Products provided such order is scheduled for shipment by Light-Waves more than sixty (60) days after Light-Waves receives written notice of cancellation from Customer. Customer requests to cancel an order for standard Products scheduled for shipment by Light-Waves within sixty (60) days after Light-Waves receives written notice of cancellation may be accepted by Light-Waves in its sole discretion, which acceptance may be subject to Customer's accepting a charge determined in writing by Light-Waves. Customer requests to reschedule are subject to acceptance by Light-Waves in its sole discretion. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after delivery by Light-Waves to the carrier. Customer may not cancel orders for non-standard Products. Non-standard products include, without limitation, Products which are special orders, custom orders, orders for non-standard products, products which do not appear on Light-Waves' line card, products not customarily in stock, orders for value-added products, products to be assembled in kit form and products identified as "NCNR" or otherwise non-cancelable and non-returnable. 2. PRICES. If Customer does not purchase the quantity upon which quantity prices are based, Customer will pay the non-discounted price for the quantity actually purchased. Prices for any rescheduled deliveries may be increased by Light-Waves in the event of an increase in Light-Waves' prices or costs or causes beyond Light-Waves' reasonable control. The amount of all Federal, State and local sales, use, excise and similar taxes or other charges now or hereafter imposed by any government authority which may be paid by Light-Waves or for which Light-Waves may be liable shall be paid to Light-Waves by Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products. 3. TERMS OF PAYMENT. (a) Payment is net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Orders are subject to credit approval by Light-Waves, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer's credit or require advance payment or payment by official bank check. If Light-Waves reasonably believes that Customer's ability to make payments is impaired, Light-Waves may cancel any order or remaining balance thereof, and Customer will remain liable to pay Light-Waves for Products already shipped. Customer will submit such financial information as Light-Waves may reasonably require for determination of credit terms. (b) Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by Light-Waves against any obligation owing by Customer to Light-Waves under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer's liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to Light-Waves. The acceptance by Light-Waves of such check will not constitute a waiver of Light-Waves' right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. (c) Customer will pay the entire net amount of each invoice from Light-Waves pursuant to the terms of such invoice without offset or deduction. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make payment when due, Light-Waves may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event Light-Waves will be entitled to reimbursement for costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees. 4. DELIVERY AND TITLE. (a) Light-Waves will make reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Customer's requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Light-Waves are estimates only and that Light-Waves will not be liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by Light-Waves unless specifically designated by Customer. (b) All shipments by Light-Waves are F.O.B. point of shipment (Light-Waves' facility) and the amount of all transportation charges from Light-Waves' facility shall be paid to Light-Waves by the Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products. Subject to Light-Waves' right of stoppage in transit, delivery to a carrier will constitute delivery to Customer, and risk of loss will thereupon pass to Customer; however, title shall remain in Light-Waves until payment in full for the Products by Customer. (c) Claims for shortages and damage must be made to carrier within ten (10) days after delivery. (d) Products invoiced and held by Light-Waves at Customer's request will be held at Customer's risk and expense. (e) Delivery of any installment of Products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Thereafter, delivery will be timely unless prior to shipment Light-Waves has received written notice of cancellation. Delivery of a quantity which does not vary by more than ten percent (10%) from the quantity specified therefore will constitute full performance of such delivery. Delay in delivery of one installment will entitle Customer to cancel that installment only. 5. LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES. Light-Waves warrants to Customer that Products purchased hereunder will conform to the applicable manufacturer's specifications for such Products and that any value-added work performed by Light-Waves on such Products will conform to applicable Customer's specifications relating to such work.
