2. Entire Agreement/Exclusion of Other Terms.  All purchases made by Buyer from Seller shall be governed by these Standard Terms and Conditions, regardless of whether the purchase is subject to any attached quote.  Except for specific prices, quantities and delivery terms contained in order acknowledgements issued by Seller, these Standard Terms and Conditions shall supersede in their entirety any additional or contrary terms and conditions which may be contained in Buyer’s purchase order, proposal, request for quotation, confirmation, acknowledgment or other form or instrument that may be delivered or signed by either party in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereunder.  Such form or instrument shall be for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect, modify, limit or negate these Standard Terms and Conditions, except as provided for herein.  Any additional or different contrary terms proposed by Buyer are deemed to materially alter the Standard Terms and Conditions and are hereby objected to and rejected by Seller.  Any such additional and/or different terms and conditions submitted by the Buyer shall not become part of any agreement unless an authorized representative of Seller consents in writing to such additional and/or different terms and conditions by making specific reference to the additional and/or different terms and conditions and only for the specific order as to which the consent is made. If a purchase order contains any different or additional terms, Seller’s order acknowledgment is a counteroffer that shall be deemed accepted by Buyer by any commercial means, including acceptance of a shipment.

6. Unavailability of Products.  In the event any orders accepted hereunder for products that are discontinued or are otherwise unavailable to Seller at the time of delivery, Seller may notify Buyer and may, in its sole discretion and without liability to Buyer terminate the quote as to the unavailable products.

Damaged Goods/Return Policy.  Buyer agrees to notify Seller in writing within five (5) business days after delivery of any products that do not conform to manufacturer specification or that are delivered in a damaged condition.  All products except those as to which such notice is given will be deemed to have been delivered in satisfactory condition.  Buyer’s sole right as to damaged product shall be repair or replacement, at Seller’s discretion.  All returns are subject to inspection by Seller.

8. Exclusion of Warranties and Release of Liability.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller is, with certain exceptions as to which it completes assembly, solely  a distributor and not the manufacturer of any products and that Buyer has selected the products based upon specifications issued by the manufacturer.  Buyer also acknowledges that Seller has no responsibility for any installation or servicing of products.  Accordingly, Buyer releases from and covenants not to sue Seller for any claims arising from any alleged defects in the design or manufacture of the products purchased from Seller and shall indemnify Seller against any negligent acts or omissions of Buyer or its employees, agents or representatives in connection with the installation, demonstration, display, sale or servicing of any of products purchased by Buyer from Seller.  All statements made on or in goods, labels, brochures, advertising and specifications are made solely by the product manufacturers, and not by Seller, and Seller does not endorse or approve of those statements.  Seller makes no warranties regarding the products.  ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FREEDOM FROM INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXCLUDED ON ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY SELLER.  SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, whether or not caused by negligence and however caused and whether or not the parties had been notified of the likelihood of such damages.  Seller will provide all reasonable assistance to Buyer in obtaining the benefits of warranties issued by product manufacturers.  In no event shall Seller’s liability to Buyer in connection with any sale of goods exceed the amount paid by Buyer to Seller for the goods.

Credit Terms and Terms of Payment.  Seller may establish an aggregate maximum amount (“Maximum Credit Amount”) for the amount of credit to be extended to Buyer at any point in time and may, in its sole discretion, reduce or otherwise modify such amount, without prior notice to Buyer.  All quotes shall constitute a single extension of credit to Buyer by Seller.  The establishment of any aggregate maximum shall not in any way affect the discretion of Seller to stop giving quotes or to fix the terms of payment in any quote.  Buyer acknowledges that the exercise of Seller’s discretion may result in the failure of Seller to issue a quote, accept an order, or extend credit that Buyer may believe is necessary to accomplish its business goals; however, Buyer understands and agrees that it is necessary for Seller to have complete and total discretion over the extension of credit to Buyer.  Buyer agrees to provide from time to time at Seller’s request, such financial information as Seller may request in connection with Seller’s extension of credit, all of which information Buyer represents will be true and correct.

Unless otherwise set forth on the face of a quote or an invoice, payment shall be due for each delivery of goods to Buyer on the 30th day from date of invoice.  If payment is not received by the due date, a late charge shall begin accruing on the due date at a rate equal to 1.5% per month, or if less, the maximum rate permitted by law.  In the event that Buyer is in default of any payment due, Seller may withhold delivery on or cancel any undelivered order.  Buyer waives any right of set off against amounts due on any invoice any claims it may have against Seller
