Terms & Conditions
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
AGREEMENT. These Terms and Conditions (including attached exhibits, schedules and annexes) will apply to and control the terms of Buyer’s purchase of equipment, Systems (as defined herein), item(s) and/or service(s) (individually, “Products” and “Services,” respectively, or collectively, “Products and/or Services”) from Vue Imaging, Inc. (“Supplier”) and shall supersede all prior written or oral discussions, Terms & Conditions and understandings of the parties, if any, relating to the Products and/or Services. These Terms & Conditions shall be binding and effective upon the execution by Buyer of Supplier’s quote for goods or services as attached hereto or upon issuance of a purchase order by supplier (collectively “Purchase Order”). In the case of any inconsistency or conflict between these Terms and Conditions herein with respect to any Products and/or Services ordered by Buyer and any terms and conditions set forth on the Purchase Order, Hardware Warranty Agreement or the Software Support Agreement, the terms of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail. No course of dealing, no usage of trade and no acceptance or acquiescence to any course of performance shall modify, alter or be relevant to explain these Terms and Conditions. The preprinted terms and conditions of any purchase order or purchase change order and the preprinted or other terms and conditions of any quote, acknowledgment, bill of lading, confirmation, invoice or other document or course of dealing or practice between the parties shall not be binding on the parties or constitute a modification or amendment of these Terms and Conditions or the Purchase Order unless or to the extent that a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties expresses the intent of the signing parties to be bound thereby. Buyer expressly and irrevocably waives any claim or right to assert any claim based on an oral modification of the terms hereof or oral promises or representations relating to Supplier’s sale or provision of equipment, parts, other Products or Services hereunder. Until executed by the Buyer, any quotation constitutes an offer to be accepted by Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the quotation is valid for no more than thirty (30) days from the issue date of that quotation and Supplier may withdraw the quotation at any time prior to Buyer’s acceptance.
NO CANCELLATIONS OR REFUNDS. PURCHASE ORDERS MAY NOT BE CANCELLED BY BUYER FOR ANY REASON. ALL DEPOSITS AND PREPAYMENTS UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE NON- REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 7 HEREIN.
PRICE. The price of a Product(s) and/or Service(s) shall be as set forth on the face of a duly authorized Purchase Order (the “Price”). Buyer shall pay all applicable taxes (including, but not limited to, sales, use, value-added and any other applicable taxes), except where Buyer timely provides Supplier with a valid tax exemption certificate. Buyer shall not be responsible for any penalties or other assessments relating to the collection of any taxes or other charges invoiced to Buyer to the extent that such penalties or assessments result from Supplier’s failure or delay to invoice Buyer as provided herein, unless such failure or delay to invoice is due to no fault on the part of Supplier. In the event any tax included in an invoice was not required and was paid by Buyer, Supplier agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer to procure a refund and, if received by Supplier, will pay it to Buyer.
PAYMENT. Unless stated otherwise on the Suppliers Purchase Offer document, Payment is due in U.S. dollars worldwide as follows: (A) with respect to new Systems (capital equipment in Supplier’s standard product line), Products or Services: 100% of the purchase price shall be payable upon placement of a Purchase Order; and (B) with respect to all other parts, products and services, 100% no later than the date of shipment or performance.
SECURITY INTEREST. Buyer grants Supplier a continuing first security interest and lien, or the equivalent in anon-U.S. jurisdiction (“Lien”), upon any System or Products Supplier ships to Buyer hereunder, and in the proceeds and products thereof (collectively the “Collateral”), until Buyer makes full payments required hereunder. Buyer agrees, as reasonably necessary, to execute further documents and to take all actions Supplier requests to protect and perfect this Lien. Buyer irrevocably appoints Supplier as Buyer’s limited attorney-in-fact to execute and file on behalf of Buyer a UCC-1 financing statement, or the equivalent in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, describing the Collateral. California law, without regards to conflict of laws provisions, governs the creation, perfection and enforcement of this Lien and rights there under. All Supplier’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
DELIVERY; TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS; RESCHEDULING. All deliveries of Product(s) and/or Service(s)shall be in strict conformance with these Terms and Conditions and the Purchase Order, except to the extent that the parties have agreed otherwise. Delivery of all Product(s) shall be made FOB Origin, as of the first date available for shipment. Title and risk of loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon shipment. Supplier reserves the right to make partial shipment or partial performance, which Supplier may separately invoice. Delay in shipment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to pay for Products or to accept subsequent shipments. Supplier shall not be liable for any costs, losses, damages, claims or liabilities (“Damages”) due to non-performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control. In such instance, Supplier may, at its sole option (1) extend the shipment date for a time equal to the period of the delay and/or (2) allocate its available supply among its customers when it is unable to supply its total demands and/or commitments. Supplier is not obligated to procure products, services or other items from others to enable it to perform.
INSTALLATION; ACCEPTANCE. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, Buyer will be responsible for the uncrating, unpacking, assembly and set-up of the Product(s) in the environment in which it is to operate. In any event, Buyer shall examine all Systems and Products (not subject to a pre-agreed installation and acceptance procedure performed by Supplier) upon receipt and must notify Supplier in writing immediately of any complaint or grounds for rejection. Unless, supplier is immediately notified in writing of the grounds for rejection, or it is otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, any Systems or Products not returned to Supplier within ten (10) days after original shipment to Buyer shall be deemed unqualifiedly Accepted as of the thirtieth day. SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS MAY BE REJECTED AND/OR RETURNED ONLY IN THE EVENT OF DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP THAT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIR THE VALUE OF THE SYSTEMS, OR IN THE EVENT OF AN OVER-FULFILLMENT OF AN ORDER, TO THE EXTENT OF THAT OVER- FULFILLMENT. SUPPLIER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CURE ANY SUCH DEFECT IN WORKSMANSHIP OR QUANTITY. PRODUCTS INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF EXISTING SYSTEMS, AND THE NETWORKING OF SERVERS TO EXISTING SYSTEMS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE QUOTED. IF REQUESTED TO PERFORM ANY OF THESE, OR OTHER, ADDITIONAL SERVICES, LABOR AND MATERIAL CHARGES WILL APPLY AT $200 PER HOUR WITH A 1 HOUR MINIMUM.
