1. Terms/Conditions in Conflict. Any term or condition contained in any purchase order or other communication by Buyer which is at variance with these terms and conditions is agreed by Buyer to be superseded and controlled by these terms and conditions. No representations or warranties other than those contained in these terms and conditions shall be binding upon ANOMET unless made in writing and signed by our authorized employee or officer.
2. Order Acceptance. Orders for purchase of ANOMET products by Buyer shall be subject to written acceptance by ANOMET.
3. Cancellation. Accepted orders are not subject to cancellation, change, or assignment within sixty (60) business days before scheduled or requested delivery dates without payment of applicable charges and our authorized written consent.
4. Prices/Delivery Terms. Prices for goods in our published price list shall be as in effect on the date of the invoice. Prices otherwise quoted are guaranteed for 30 days from date of quote, after which they may be adjusted to those then in effect from time to time. Unless otherwise agreed in writing ANOMET reserves the right to make delivery in installments when necessary and to invoice each such installment separately. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery shall be F.O.B. our plant. The Buyer will select the route and manner of shipment. All risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at time of pick up by the carrier. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all orders are subject to credit approval and payment in full shall be due in U.S. dollars 30 days from the date of each invoice and sent to the remittance address noted on the invoice. All applicable taxes, duties and brokerage fees are for the account of Buyer. If shipment of any other act or condition affecting payment for the goods or any part of them shall be delayed on account of Buyer, payment shall become due as if shipment had been made without delay. A reasonable charge may be made and such storage shall be at the risk of Buyer. All prices are exclusive of consular fees for legalizing invoices, stamping bills of lading, or other documents required by the laws of the country of destination, and of duties, fees, charges, and assessments of any nature levied by any governmental authority outside of the United States, all of which (“Impositions”) are the sole responsibility of Buyer. Claims for factory damage or shortages shall not be considered unless made in writing within 10 days after receipt of the goods and accompanied by reference to our bill of lading and invoice numbers. Claims for damage or shortage in transit must be filed by Buyer against the carrier. Except as provided by these terms and conditions or other written agreement to the contrary, all goods and services shall be deemed to have been accepted 10 days after receipt by Buyer unless notice of rejection shall have been made to ANOMET. Any notice of rejection must describe the specific defect or defects upon which rejection is claimed.
5. Force Majeure. ANOMET shall not be responsible nor deemed to be in default on account of delays in performance due to causes that are beyond our control and not occasioned by our fault or negligence and which make our performance impracticable, including but not limited to civil wars, insurrections, strikes, riots, fires, storms, floods, other acts of nature, explosions, earthquakes, accidents, any act of government, delays in transportation, inability to obtain necessary labor supplies or manufacturing facilities, allocation regulations or orders affecting materials, equipment, facilities or completed products, failure to obtain any required license or certificates, acts of God or the public enemy, failure of transportation, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, failure of vendors (due to causes similar to those within the scope of this clause) to perform their contracts or labor troubles causing cessation, slowdown, or interruption of work provided such cause is beyond our reasonable control.
6. Installment Shipments. To the extent that any accepted order for ANOMET products provides for installment deliveries and shipment, each such delivery or shipment shall be treated as a separate and independent contract with respect to Terms of Payment. If Buyer defaults in payment for any such delivery or shipment when due under this Paragraph 7, upon five (5) days’ written notice to Buyer ANOMET may, in addition to its remedies allow: (1) defer further performance until such payment default is cured; (2) make further deliveries or shipments against the contract for cash in advance; or (3) declare the entire contract in default.
7. Late Charges. Payments not received by ANOMET at the times specified by these terms and conditions shall bear interest after their due date at the highest rate permitted by applicable law, but not in excess of 12% per annum, calculated on a 360-day year. If ANOMET is required to commence any suit or proceeding for collection of any delinquency, customer agrees to pay our actual costs of collection incurred, including actual reasonable attorney’s fees.
8. Warranty. ANOMET warrants that its products will conform to all specifications, drawings, samples, prototypes, or other descriptions provided or approved by Buyer for a period of one year. ANOMET also warrants that its products will be of merchantable quality and free from defects in material, workmanship, and design (other than a design provided by Buyer) under normal use and service. ANOMET makes no warranty with regard to component parts of its product that are manufactured by others and instead passes to Buyer such warranties as may be provided by them to ANOMET.
9. Warranty Limitations. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the ANOMET WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE IN PARAGRAPH 10 IS EXCLUSIVE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USEAGE. ANOMET ALSO DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR INTEDED PURPOSES FOR PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED PURSUANT TO DESIGNS PROVIDED BY BUYER, WHICH ARE SOLD “AS-IS WITH ALL FAULTS.”
10. Remedies. The warranties set forth above in paragraph 10 shall not apply to any defect to the extent caused in whole or in part by or resulting from product misuse, neglect, improper installation, improper operation, improper maintenance, repair or alteration, accident, or unusual deterioration or degradation of a product due to physical environment not expressly made known to ANOMET and beyond the requirements intended for such product’s specifications. No defective product may be returned to ANOMET without prior or written consent. Any return must be with transportation prepaid, which may be refunded at our discretion. Under no circumstances will ANOMET be liable for:
    a. Failures not reported within the warranty period;
    b. Failures or damage due to the negligence, accidents, abuse, improper installation, improper operation, or improper maintenance and repair of others;
    c. Expenses incurred by Buyer in an attempt to correct or repair any alleged defect without the prior written consent of ANOMET; or
    d. Any Buyer added value, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, and damages, including but without limitation to, loss of use of profits, damage to persons or property, any liabilities Buyer may have to its customers or third persons, and all other special or consequential damages, whether direct or indirect. No liability whatsoever shall attach until the goods have been paid in full. Should an ANOMET product fail within the warranty period set forth above in Paragraph 10 as a result of defect in the manufacture or of failure to meet written specifications of Buyer against which the warranty applies, ANOMET will repair or replace such nonconforming product at its expense or refund its purchase price if paid. If a ANOMET product fails to conform to the warranties set forth in Paragraph 10 and such nonconformity is not due to misuse or improper maintenance, Buyer shall notify ANOMET in writing not later than 14 days after the expiration of such warranties identifying the product, its date of purchase and the details of failure and shall make the product available for inspection by ANOMET or its designated agent. At the request of ANOMET any defective product shall be returned to ANOMET for examination, with transportation charges prepaid and assumed by Buyer. Within a reasonable time ANOMET shall provide, at its option, with respect to a product which fails to conform to the Warranty either: a) repair or replacement of such nonconforming or defective product; or b) full refund of its purchase. Repair or replacement shall be made only by a facility approved in advance by ANOMET.THIS REMEDY SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

This exclusion applies regardless of whether such damages are sought for breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or strict liability in tort or under any legal theory.
12. Seller’s Right of Possession. ANOMET shall have the right, in addition to all others it may possess, at any time, for credit reasons or because of Buyer’s default(s), to withhold shipments, in whole or in part, and to recall products in transit, retake same, and repossess all products which may be stored with ANOMET for Buyer’s account, without the necessity of taking any other proceedings. This shall not be construed as limiting, in any manner, any of the rights or remedies available to ANOMET because of any default of Buyer under the Uniform Commercial Code as it in force and effect in the State of Massachusetts on the date of signing this agreement.
13. Time and Place for Resolution. Any action for resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of the sale of ANOMET products to Buyer shall be commenced within 1 year after the expiration of the applicable warranty period. Exclusive venue for any such action shall be in the county with the appropriation located in Worcester, Massachusetts. ANOMET and Buyer each irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of each such court for purposes of such action and waive all objections to venue and personal jurisdiction of such courts.
