Purchase Order Terms And Conditions
1. Applicability (Entire Agreement):
1.1 These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods identified on Buyer’s purchase order (the “Goods”) by Seller to Buyer.

1.2 The accompanying quotation, proposal, confirmation of sale, invoice, order acknowledgment or similar document delivered by Seller to Buyer (the “Sales Confirmation”), the Basic Purchase Order Terms and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
1.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
2. Non-delivery:

including without limitation, loss of use.
3.2 Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, deliver partial shipments of Goods to Buyer and ship the Goods as they become available, in

The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest.

Seller shall then respond with instructions as to the disposition of the Goods.
6.2 If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the nonconforming Goods to Seller’s Shipment Point. If Seller exercises its option to replace nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Seller’s Shipment Point.
