THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (THESE “TERMS”) APPLY TO ALL TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE (A) NOT STATED IN ANY SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER (“BUYER” OR “YOU”) AND HAILO TECHNOLOGIES LTD. (“SELLER”) SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. NO OTHER TERMS WILL BE VALID UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING BY SELLER AND UNLESS INDIVIDUALLY AGREED TO IN A WRITING BY SELLER, SELLER EXPRESSLY, AND AUTOMATICALLY REJECTS ANY AND ALL TERMS CONTAINED IN BUYER’S REQUEST FOR QUOTATION, PURCHASE ORDER, BUYER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE, AND BUYER’S WEBSITE, THAT ARE IN ADDITION TO OR INCONSISTENT WITH THESE TERMS, OR WITH SELLER’S QUOTATION AND/OR THE APPLICABLE DOCUMENTATION (IF ANY). SELLER’S WILLINGNESS TO SELL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO BUYER AT QUOTED PRICES AND QUANTITIES IS CONDITIONED ON BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS. ANY SAID TRANSACTION SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED WITH A SELLER’S QUOTE ACCEPTED BY BUYER, PURCHASE ORDER ACCEPTED BY SELLER OR OTHER ORDERING DOCUMENT ACCEPTED BY SELLER (“ORDER”). BY EXECUTING AN ORDER, INSTALLING, HAVING INSTALLED, CONTROLLING, ACCESSING OR OTHERWISE USING THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES STATES IN SUCH APPLICABLE ORDER (“PRODUCT(S)), YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREOF AND REPRESENTING THAT YOU HAVE FULL RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO AND PERFORM HEREUNDER.
1. FEES; PAYMENT TERMS; CANCELLATIONS
a. Billings for Products and related services will be in writing and at the prices stated in the applicable Order plus any freight or handling charges (“Fees”). The Fees do not include any taxes, including VAT, sales taxes, and withholding taxes, now or hereafter applicable on the Products or services associated with the transaction, which (if applicable) will be added by Seller to the Fees where Seller is required by law to withhold or collect the same.
b. Unless otherwise provided between the Parties in an Order all Fees are in U.S dollars (USD$) and shall be payable within net+ thirty (30) days upon Seller’s issuance of an invoice (“Payment Date”). All Fees not paid within such period will be subject to monthly interest equal to the lower of (i) three percent (3%), or (ii) the maximum interest rate permitted by law.
c. Each shipment will be a separate and independent transaction and will be invoiced separately. Buyer will pay for each shipment separately and as invoiced.
d. The acceptance of any Order does not constitute a waiver of Seller’s right to collect the balance or an accord and satisfaction of the debt or debt(s) due and owing. If, at Seller’s sole discretion, the Buyer’s financial condition at any time does not justify continuance of production or shipment on the original terms of payment or upon default or breach of these Terms by Buyer, Seller may stop production or halt a shipment and charge Buyer a cancellation fee and require full or partial payment in advance. If bankruptcy, insolvency, or any proceeding is brought by or against Buyer under bankruptcy and insolvency laws, Seller may cancel any outstanding Order without waiving its claim for damages or any other remedies. If shipments are delayed by Buyer without Seller’s prior express written consent, payments will be due on the Payment Date with no change. Products held by Seller for Buyer will be at Buyer’s risk and expense. Seller shall not be limited to its rights and remedies against Buyer set forth in these Terms but shall be entitled to pursue all other rights and remedies as may be available to it under law or otherwise.
e. Orders are binding and may not be canceled, changed, rescheduled, nor returned (other than in accordance with these Terms) without Seller’s written approval. Seller, at its option, may accept or reject any Buyer request for cancellation, change, reschedule or return, and Seller reserves the right to impose change/cancellation fees and related charges on Buyer in connection therewith.
f. Seller reserves the right to discontinue production of any Product at any time. Seller shall provide industry-standard notice or discontinuation as set forth in the joint JEDEC/ECIA/IPC standard J-STD-048 (Notification Standard for Product Discontinuance). Seller will not discontinue production until Seller has produced the total quantity of Product(a) which are subject to an outstanding valid and duly executed Order and shall implement discontinuation no earlier than the longer of (i) six months after the date
of Buyer’s last Order or (ii) twelve (12) months after last Product(s) shipment date to Buyer. Seller notice of discontinuation as posted on Seller’s website at Product discontinuation policies and notices shall suffice and it is Buyer’s responsibility to periodically check such publication.
2. DELIVERY; RETURNS AND EXPORT.
a. “Shipment Date” or “Delivery Date” as used in these Terms means the date Seller tenders delivery of the Product(s) to a carrier for shipment to Buyer. Shipment dates given by Seller shall be considered Seller’s best estimates only (based inter-alia on anticipated production yields, process times, and other manufacturing and market variables). Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to fill all Order(s) provided by Buyer according to the schedule and quantity set forth in such applicable Order. Buyer shall have no remedy for late delivery unless Buyer and Seller agree in writing to specific “shipment date” or “delivery date” and to specific remedies in the event of late performance, in an applicable Order. Seller may not have sufficient supplies of one or more Products from its then-contemplated sources of supply to meet the full requirements of its customers. Whenever that situation exists, Seller may, at its option, allocate shipments of such Product(s) among Seller’s customers on any basis which in Seller’s sole opinion is equitable. However, Seller may agree with Buyer on a schedule for completing the Order. If such reduction occurs and exceeds 10% of the Order, Buyer shall have the option to accept such reduction, and if Seller did not offer to complete the Order, Seller will reimburse the Buyer for the value of the reduction on a pro-rated basis.
b. Subject to applicable Fees plus any freight or handling charges (as agreed under an applicable Order), Seller shall arrange for shipment and deliver the Product EXW (Incoterms 2010) Seller’s facilities (including Seller’s third-party manufacturing or other distribution sites). All risk of loss passes to the Buyer upon delivery to the carrier and any loss or damage during shipment or thereafter shall not relieve Buyer from any obligations hereunder. The Product is non-returnable except as provided herein.
c. Buyer acknowledges that the Product(s) may be subject to United States’ export laws and to any other applicable laws and regulations concerning the transfer of the Product(s) or any part thereof across international borders. You will comply with all applicable national and international laws that apply to your use of the Product(s), including United States Export Administration Regulations, as well as end-user, end-use, and destination restrictions which may be issued by the United States and other governments from time to time.
3. ACCEPTANCE
Before accepting receipt of each shipment of Product(s) at its own facility, Buyer shall visually inspect the packaging for correct Product part number, packaging, and quantity. If upon receipt, Buyer discovers any discrepancy visible upon such inspection, Buyer may refuse acceptance of the Product(s) within five (5) days following of receipt of each shipment of Product(s) (“Inspection Period”). Within said Inspection Period, Buyer may also inspect the Product for defects and conformity to specification or documentation provided by Seller. If Buyer discovers any defect in a Product or contends that a Product does not meet the applicable specification indicated in the documentation provided by Seller, Buyer shall immediately notify Seller in writing describing such defect or shortcoming (“Notice of Non Compliance”) and arrange for return and evaluation of the Product by Seller in accordance with Seller’s then-current Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) process for handling in accordance with the warranty provisions of these Terms. If no Notice of Non-Compliance was received by Seller within the Inspection Period the Products are deemed accepted.
4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
a. Seller will retain title and ownership to intellectual property rights in and to the Product(s), including without limitations, any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights in and to the Product’s models, drawings, composites, patterns, dies, models, masks, working plates, schematics, bread boards, jigs, fixtures and tools made for or incorporated in the Product(s), or any interest in any other hardware and software incorporated into the Product(s). All such rights will remain the sole property of Seller and its licensors and no license of any type, express or implied, is granted to Buyer under these Terms or otherwise with respect to such rights or with respect to any trademark of Seller or its affiliated companies, even if Seller provides Product exclusively to Buyer.
b. Buyer may provide Seller with feedback regarding the use, operation, performance, and functionality of the Product(s), including identifying potential errors and improvements (“Feedback”), in
which case Seller is hereby granted
a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, unlimited, sublicensable, fully paid-up and royalty-free right to use the Feedback in any manner.
