SELLER’S ACCEPTANCE OF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER IS EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED ON BUYER’S ASSENT TO ALL OF SELLER’S TERMS, INCLUDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM OR ADDITIONAL TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER. Buyer’s acceptance of or payment for the Goods will manifest Buyer’s assent to these Terms. Seller reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse orders.

1. Prices; Taxes and Fees. Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at the prices (the “Prices”) set forth in Seller’s published price list in force as of the date that Seller accepts Buyer’s purchase order, and each shipment will be invoiced at such prices. Unless otherwise specified by Seller in writing, Prices are exclusive of all taxes and governmental charges, which shall be borne by Buyer. Any current or future tax or governmental charge (or increase in same) affecting Seller’s costs of production, sale, or delivery or shipment, or which Seller is otherwise required to pay or collect in connection with the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use or consumption of Goods, shall be for Buyer’s account and shall be added to the price or billed to Buyer separately, at Seller’s election.

2. Payment Terms. (a) Unless otherwise specified by Seller in writing, Buyer shall pay for the Goods at the time Buyer submits an order by wire transfer/ACH, check, or credit card and in US dollars. Seller reserves the right to require payment by wire transfer/ACH and to charge a service charge for credit card payments, where permissible. If Seller rejects Buyer’s order, Seller shall refund all amounts paid on the order to Buyer. (b) If credit terms are set forth in a separate agreement between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall pay all invoiced amounts due to Seller within 30 days from the date of Seller’s invoice. Buyer shall make all payments under this Section 2(b) by wire transfer/ACH or check (if permitted by Seller), and in US dollars. (c) Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods under this Agreement and/or other agreements with Buyer if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for 10 days following written notice thereof. (d) Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise. Any sums that have been deducted by Buyer in violation of this paragraph shall be considered overdue and shall be subject to the above interest charge.

3. Customization. (a) Buyer may request, in exchange for such additional fees as determined by and among the Parties in writing, certain artwork or logos to be incorporated into the Goods (the “Artwork”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer must provide Seller with any and all artwork, logos and any other information requested by Seller in such format as requested by Seller. Seller is not responsible for any content, error, or omission in any Artwork provided by Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer owns all rights in the Artwork, or has obtained all necessary rights and license to incorporate and use the Artwork in connection with the Goods, and that Seller’s use of the Artwork in connection with the Goods will not infringe any rights of any third parties, including without limitation any copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, or patents (“Third-Party Rights”). (b) Buyer is solely responsible for the durability, wear-ability, safety and compliance with any and all applicable fire codes or flammability standards for any and all materials supplied by Buyer. Seller does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any and all responsibility for any materials provided by Buyer or any third party at Buyer’s direction or request. The Limited Warranty herein expressly does not apply or extend to any materials provided by Buyer or any third party at Buyer’s direction or request.

4. Fire Codes/Flammability Standards. It is the sole responsibility of Buyer to specify to Seller specifically identified provisions of applicable fire codes or flammability standards, if any, for the Goods. Such specifications must be (a) noted to Seller in writing as a clear and conspicuous line item, with an associated charge, on Buyer’s purchase order and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in Buyer’s terms and conditions, if any, and (b) acknowledged by Seller in writing in the acknowledgment/sales confirmation/invoice. Seller reserves the right to charge Buyer an additional fee for Seller’s compliance with such specifications, and such fee shall be added to the Price or billed to Buyer separately, at Seller’s election.

5. Shipping; Delivery; Risk of Loss. (a) While Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the delivery date(s) acknowledged or quoted by Seller, all shipping dates are approximate and not guaranteed. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order. (b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, all shipments of Goods are FOB Seller’s shipping point and Seller shall use Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit, and any claims resulting therefrom shall be submitted by Buyer directly to the carrier. (c) Seller, at its option, shall not be bound to tender delivery of any Goods for which Buyer has not provided shipping instructions and other required information. If the shipment of the Goods is postponed or delayed by Buyer for any reason, Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for any and all storage costs and other additional expenses (including insurance) resulting therefrom and the risk of loss for the Goods shall pass to Buyer at such time. (d) Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods to and receipt by carrier at Seller’s shipping point. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code -- Sales. Seller shall have all rights as a secured party under UCC Article 9.

6. Quantity. If Seller delivers to Buyer a quantity of Goods of up to 10% more or less than the quantity set forth in the acknowledgment/sales confirmation/invoice, Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Goods or any portion of them by reason of the surplus or shortfall and shall pay for such Goods the price set forth in the acknowledgment/sales confirmation/invoice adjusted pro rata.

7. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. (a) Buyer shall inspect the Goods within 24 hours of receipt (the “Inspection Period”). Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period, and furnishes written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller.

(d) The Seller shall not be liable under the Limited Warranty set forth in Section 8(a) unless: (i) Buyer gives written notice of the defect, reasonably described and including the date of sale and the location of the purchase, to Seller within 30 days of the time when Buyer discovers or ought to have discovered the defect; (ii) Buyer (if requested to do so by Seller) returns such Goods to Seller’s place of business at Buyer’s cost for examination by Seller; and (iii) Seller reasonably verifies Buyer’s claim that the Goods are defective.
