1. General
These terms and conditions govern the sale of Products (“Products”) and the provision of services (“Services”) by Raveon Technologies Corporation (“Seller”) to each purchaser of Products and Services (“Buyer”), as well as by third party vendors and/or service providers of Seller.
These terms and conditions (“Agreement”) take precedence over Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Acceptance by Buyer is limited to and conditioned upon Buyer’s assent to these terms and conditions. Neither Sellers commencement of performance or delivery shall be deemed or constituted as acceptance of Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions. Buyer’s acceptance of the Products and/or Services from Seller shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY ONLY BE WAIVED OR MODIFIED IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER.
1.1 Orders
All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Sellers written consent. All orders must include part number, delivery dates, quantities and a description of Products being purchased. Seller may in its sole discretion allocate available Product among its potential Buyers or existing customers. Seller may designate certain Products as non-cancelable, non-returnable (“NCNR”) or customer specific (“CS”) Products. The sale of such Products shall be subject to the special terms and conditions stated herein. Any product that is customized by the Seller at the request of the Buyer is NCNR.
1.2 Prices
(a) The prices of the Products are those specified on the front of Seller’s invoice. Pricing for undelivered Product may be increased in the event of any increase in Seller’s cost, change in market conditions or any other causes beyond Seller’s reasonable control. Price quotations, unless otherwise stated, shall automatically expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date issued and may be cancelled or amended within that period upon notice to Buyer.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all prices quoted are exclusive of transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including, but not limited to, federal, state, provincial and local sales taxes; excise, value added, goods and services taxes; and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to pay these taxes unless Buyer has provided Seller with an exemption resale certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction of Buyer’s place of business and any jurisdiction to which Products are to be directly shipped hereunder, or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any liability for taxes in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Seller’s invoice.
1.3 Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable (“NCNR”)
Orders for Product considered NCNR may not be cancelled and may not be returned for credit. Buyer agrees to purchase the quantities ordered. Buyer also agrees that all purchases of items designated as NCNR are final, and Seller has no obligation to accept the return of any NCNR items for any reason unless the Product is found to be damaged or defective when received by the Buyer, as long as the Buyer notifies the Seller within 10 days of receipt of any defective or damaged Product.
