TERMS OF CONDITION

1. ACCEPTANCE

Buyer’s acceptance of these terms and conditions shall be indicated by any of the following, whichever first occurs: (a) Buyer’s making of an offer to purchase Product from Krinner; (b) Buyer’s written acknowledgment hereof; (c) Buyer’s acceptance of any shipment of any part of the items specified for delivery (the “Products”); or (d) any other act or expression of acceptance by Buyer. Krinner’s acceptance is expressly limited to the terms and conditions hereof in their entirety without addition, modification or exception, and any term, condition or proposals hereafter submitted by Buyer (whether oral or in writing) which is inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth hereon is objected to and is hereby rejected by Krinner. Krinner’s silence or failure to respond to any such subsequent or different term, condition or proposal shall not be deemed to be Krinner’s acceptance or approval thereof.

2. DELIVERY

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery shall be made in accordance with Krinner’s shipping policy in effect on the date of shipment. For all domestic transactions, unless otherwise stated on the front of the invoice, title to, and all risk of loss or damage with respect to the Products shall pass to Buyer upon delivery by Krinner to the carrier or Buyer’s representative at Krinner’s warehouse or plant. For all international transactions, the Product shall be sold on a delivered, insurance paid, duty and international freight unpaid basis. Krinner assumes no responsibility for charges attendant to Customs clearance in the country of delivery, customs duty, VAT or any other charges or taxes within the country designated for delivery by the Buyer. Title and risk of loss shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery to the port designated by the Buyer and prior to Customs clearance. Delivery is subject to the payment provisions set forth herein and to Krinner’s receipt from Buyer of all necessary information and documentation from Buyer including all import certificates, exemption and/or resale certificates, licenses and other documents as may be required from Buyer for export of the Product. Buyer shall promptly notify Krinner, in no event later than five (5) business days after delivery, of any claimed shortages or rejection as to any delivery. Such notice shall be in writing and shall be reasonably detailed, stating the grounds for any such rejection. Failure to give any such notice within such time shall be deemed an acceptance in full of any such delivery. Krinner shall not be liable for any shipment delays beyond the reasonable control of Krinner which affect Krinner or any of Krinner’s suppliers, including, but not limited to, delays caused by unavailability or shortages of Products from Krinner’s suppliers; natural disasters, acts of war; acts or omissions of Buyer; fire, strike, riot, or governmental interference; unavailability or shortage of materials, labor, fuel or power through normal commercial channels at customary and reasonable rate s; failure or destruction of plant or equipment arising from any cause whatsoever; or transport failures.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT

Buyer shall bear all applicable federal, state, municipal and other government taxes (such as sales, use and similar taxes), as well as import or customs duties, license fees and similar charges, however designated or levied on the sale of the Products (or the delivery thereof) or measured by the purchase price paid for the Products. (Krinner’s prices set forth on the front side of the invoice do not include such taxes, fees and charges.) Exemption certificates must be presented prior to shipment if they are to be honored. Payment is due thirty (30) days ROG (Receipt of Goods), except that COD accounts are due upon delivery. Krinner, at its discretion, may require reasonable advance assurances of payment through irrevocable bank letters of credit or otherwise. All unpaid invoices shall bear interest at an amount equal to 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate of interest allowed to be contracted for by law, whichever is less), commencing upon the date payment is due. Buyer’s failure to make timely payment may result in such action as commencement of proceedings for collection, revocation of credit, stoppage of shipment, delay or cessation of future deliveries, repossession of unpaid delivered goods and termination of any one or more sales agreements. Notwithstanding any “net” payment provisions specified on the invoice, Krinner shall have no continuing obligation to deliver Products on credit, and any credit approval may be withdrawn by Krinner at any time and without prior notice. Krinner retains (and Buyer grants to Krinner by submitting a purchase order) a security interest in the Products to secure payment in full and compliance with all sales agreements, and Buyer agrees to execute any additional documents necessary to perfect such security interest. In the event the sales invoice shall be placed by Krinner in the hands of an attorney for the purpose of collection, with or without litigation, or for the purpose of enforcing Krinner’s security interest in the Products, the Buyer agrees to pay any and all costs associated with such placement, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs incurred prior to, during, or subsequent to trial, and including, without limitation, collection, bankruptcy, or other creditor’s rights proceedings. If a sale is to occur, or the Product is to be shipped, outside of the United States, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the amount due Krinner is contracted in U.S. Dollars and that payment in U.S. Dollars is of the essence. Any payment by Buyer in local currency or the receipt by Krinner of local currency as a consequence of enforcement procedures against Buyer will be deemed an authorization for Krinner to use that local currency to purchase U.S. Dollars or, if such purchase is prohibited by local law, an authorization to purchase appropriate bonds or other instruments and export them from the Buyer’s country in order to convert the currency into U.S. Dollars and apply the proceeds to the payment of any amounts owed to Krinner by Buyer. Any deficiency as a result of conversion of payment into U.S. Dollars shall be the responsibility of Buyer.

4. PRODUCT RETURNS

Return of Products purchased hereunder, whether for stock balancing purposes or because such Products are claimed to be defective, shall be governed by Krinner’s Product Return policies. Buyer may return 10% of Product purchased from Krinner and receive a credit of the price paid, subject to the following: (a) the Product is in its original package, which has not been damaged or altered; and (b) Krinner determines, in its sole judgement, that Buyer is in good standing. Products satisfying all the foregoing requirements other than subparagraph (c) may also be returned subject to Krinner’s then applicable restocking and repackaging fee of 15%. Products purchased from Krinner that are determined to be defective within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, may be returned to Krinner for assistance in processing a manufacturer’s warranty, provided that the Product is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty and the Buyer is determined, in Krinner’s sole judgment, to be in good standing. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, Krinner will issue a return material authorization and advance ship the replacement Product under a new purchase order. All returned Products must be shipped by Customer’s expense and received by Krinner within thirty (30) days of the date of shipment of the replacement.
