GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES

  1. Applicability.  
    1. These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods ("Goods") and services ("Services") by Garland Technology, LLC ("Seller") to the buyer named on Seller’s quote and/or invoice the reverse side of these Terms ("Buyer"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods and Services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
    2. Seller’s sales quote and/or invoice (the "Sales Confirmation") 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 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.
    3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Sales Confirmation.
  2. Delivery of Goods and Performance of Services.  
    1. No order placed by the Buyer and accepted by Seller can be canceled or changed by the Buyer. Cancellation is only allowed with the written permission of Seller. The Buyer will then be responsible for all losses (including loss of profit), damage and costs incurred by Seller as a result of canceling or adjusting the order. The loss of profit in case of cancellation of the order is fixed at fifty percent (50%) of the price of the order.
    2. The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer's purchase order. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.

Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods within 5 days of Seller's written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.
    4. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer's purchase order.
    5. If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Seller's notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
