Terms and Conditions of Purchase

  1. Acceptance

    1.1 The terms and conditions contained herein are by this reference incorporated into all purchase orders issued by US Digital Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "US Digital" or "Buyer"). Upon US Digital placing an order and Supplier accepting that order, the Standard Purchase Terms and Conditions outlined in this document are deemed to be agreed upon by the Supplier. They are considered in effect and form a part of the order. These Standard Purchase Terms and Conditions incorporated into the order and the order are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Purchase Order."

    1.2 Upon Supplier accepting the Purchase Order (whether by requested written or other acknowledgment, shipment of Products, the commencement of performance of services, or by any other conduct), Supplier shall not seek to: (i) modify, (ii) contradict, (iii) negate, or (iv) add to, any term of the Purchase Order (each a "Supplier Add"). Supplier Adds shall be of no force or effect, and the terms of the Purchase Order alone shall bind the parties.

    1.3 Supplier shall not contend or maintain, under any circumstances, that Buyer's performance, acceptance of goods or services, or other action in connection with the Purchase Order constitutes Buyer's acceptance of any terms or conditions other than those expressly set out and those incorporated by reference in the Purchase Order.

    1.4 The delivery date stated in the Purchase Order will be deemed accepted by Supplier unless Supplier objects in writing to Buyer within five (5) business days of its receipt of the Purchase Order or unless otherwise set out in the Purchase Order.

    1.5 These terms and conditions may only be modified with the Buyer's express written consent.

  2. Terms Used Herein

    2.1 "Defect" means the failure of the Product to comply with the warranty provided in Section 7.

    2.2 "Epidemic Failure" means a Defect in more than one unit of the same Product where each such Defect (1) has a similar root cause, and (2) all such Defects occur in one percent or more of units received by Buyer.

    2.3 "Law" means any U.S. or non-U.S. federal, national, state, local or similar statute, law (including common law), treaty, ordinance, code, directive, policy, legal requirement, other government restriction or regulation promulgated or entered into by any regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction, tribunal, judicial or arbitral body, administrative agency or commission or other government authority or instrumentality.

    2.4 "Product(s)" means, without limitation, any component, part, sub-assembly, assembly, raw material, or other commodity purchased by Buyer from Supplier.

    3.2 If Supplier does not meet the scheduled Delivery Dates, and Supplier fails to demonstrate to Buyer that it has taken its best commercial efforts to comply with meeting the Delivery Dates, then Buyer may, at its option, cancel the Purchase Order, or any part of the Purchase Order, without incurring any liability therefore. If Buyer requests expedited shipment of any late deliveries, Supplier will be responsible for shipping cost.

    3.3 Supplier will not ship ahead of the scheduled Delivery Date unless authorized by Buyer in writing. Buyer may return, at its option, all unauthorized early shipments to Supplier at Supplier's expense. Payments for early shipments unauthorized by Buyer will be postponed until the applicable due date after the scheduled Delivery Date.

    3.4 Supplier, when it has reason to believe that deliveries will not be made as scheduled, will provide immediate written notice to Buyer, setting forth the cause of such anticipated delay. Supplier shall be, in addition to any other remedy available to Buyer, liable for Buyer's documented additional expenses due to its failure to deliver if it fails to provide such notice.

    3.5 Notwithstanding the above, neither Buyer nor Supplier shall be liable for delays or defaults due to fires, floods, earthquakes, riots, storms, or acts of civil or military authority and without their fault or negligence. If any such condition exists as to Supplier, Buyer may, at its option, cancel the affected Purchase Order in whole or in part.

    3.6 The shipping terms of delivery are FCA named location ("FCA") as that term is defined in Incoterms 2010. If both parties agree, the terms of delivery may be changed. For FCA terms, the Supplier must utilize the carriers or forwarder provided in the Buyer's shipping guidelines. If the Supplier uses any other carrier or forwarder, the Supplier will be requested to credit Buyer for any additional costs. If carrier or forwarder is not specified in the shipping guidelines, the Supplier will request shipping instructions from Buyer.
