Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions govern the sale of all Products and Services ("Products") by Kiomatic Group and commercial representative (Seller) and apply notwithstanding any conflicting, contrary or additional terms and conditions in any purchase order or other document or communication ("purchase order") from Buyer. These terms and conditions may only be waived or modified in a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Seller. Neither Seller's acknowledgment of a purchase order nor Seller's failure to object to conflicting, contrary or additional terms and conditions in a purchase order shall be deemed an acceptance of such terms and conditions or a waiver of the provisions hereof.

1. ORDERS
Orders shall be initiated by Buyer issuing a Purchase Order or otherwise placing an order by electronic means acceptable to Seller. Orders shall identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers, descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. All orders are subject to acceptance by Seller. No orders for standard Products ("Standard Products") may be cancelled or rescheduled without Seller's consent, which consent may be given by Seller in its sole discretion. Seller reserves the right to allocate sales of Products among its customers in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, orders for special, custom, value-added and other non-standard Products, including Products to be assembled in kit form, Products of manufacturers which do not appear on Seller's line card, work-in-process and Products otherwise identified by Seller as "NCNR" or "Non-Cancellable and Non-Returnable" ("Non-Standard Products") shall be non-cancellable and non-returnable.

2. PRICES
Prices shall be as specified by Seller and shall be applicable for the period specified in Seller's quote. If no period is specified, prices shall be applicable for fourteen (14) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prices shall be subject to increase in the event of an increase in Seller's costs or other circumstances beyond Seller's reasonable control. Prices are exclusive of taxes, impositions and other charges, including: sales, use, excise, value added and similar taxes or charges imposed by any government authority, international shipping charges, forwarding agent's and broker's fees, consular fees, document fees and import duties. If Seller shall be liable for or shall pay any of the foregoing, same shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in addition to the price of the Products.

3. TERMS OF PAYMENT
Payment shall be net fourteen (14) days from date of invoice or as otherwise specified by Seller. Buyer agrees to pay the entire net amount of each invoice from Seller pursuant to the terms of each such invoice without offset or deduction. Orders are subject to credit approval by Seller, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Buyer's credit, require payment in cash, bank wire transfer or by official bank check and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Buyer's order before shipment of any or all of the Products. If Seller believes in good faith that Buyer's ability to make payments may be impaired or if Buyer shall fail to pay any invoice when due, Seller may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof, and Buyer shall remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and all Non-Standard Products ordered by Buyer. Buyer agrees to submit such financial information from time to time as may be reasonably requested by Seller for the establishment and/or continuation of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection shall be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Buyer may be applied by Seller against any obligation owing from Buyer to Seller, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Buyer's liability for any additional amounts owing from Buyer to Seller, and the acceptance by Seller of such check shall not constitute a waiver of Seller's right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. Buyer shall pay interest on any invoice not paid when due from the due date to the date of payment at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per year or such lower rate as may be the maximum allowable by law. If Buyer fails to make payment when due, Seller may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement for costs of collection and reasonable attorneys fees.

4. DELIVERY AND TITLE
All shipments by Seller are F.O.B. point of origin and all transportation charges shall be paid by Buyer in addition to the price of the Products.

Selection of the carrier and delivery route shall be made by Seller unless specified by Buyer. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Buyer's requested delivery dates. Buyer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Seller are estimates only and that Seller is not liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Seller reserves the right to make deliveries in instalments. Delivery of a quantity which varies from the quantity specified shall not relieve Buyer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered. Delay in delivery of one instalment shall not entitle Buyer to cancel other instalments.
