Purchase Order Terms & Conditions
- CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE: Acceptance of this
Purchase Order (this "Order") by Seller is subject to the terms
herein, on the face of this Order and the technical descriptions
or specifications which are incorporated herein by reference.
This Order shall control and govern all terms of sale. Kunzler
& Company, Inc. ("BUYER") hereby notifies Seller that BUYER rejects
any attempt by Seller to limit or condition its liability for
breach or damages arising out of its performance or nonperformance
of this Order. The rights and remedies of Buyer set forth in this
Order are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in lieu or
exclusive of, all legal and equitable rights and remedies, including
without limitation, all rights and remedies to which BUYER is
entitled under the Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC"), which are
hereby reserved by BUYER. As used herein, "Goods" shall mean any
goods and/or services which are the subject of this Order.
- ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Order, together with
BUYER's specifications and any other agreement signed by BUYER,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding
the Goods and supersedes all previous negotiations and understandings,
as well as any terms or conditions contained on Seller's correspondence,
invoices, delivery receipts, bills of sale or the like.
- ASSIGNMENT: Seller may not assign (directly
or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise) its rights or
obligations under this Order without BUYER's prior written consent,
which consent may be withheld in BUYER'S sole discretion.
- INVOICING/SHIPPING: Seller shall: (a) include
in each shipment separate packing slip(s) showing BUYER's order
number, BUYER's item, code, or mark number, and a description
of the Goods and of the quantity shipped; (b) accept payment according
to the terms specified on the face of this Order; (c) invoice
each Order separately; (d) Include cash discounts on all invoices;
(e) on all prepaid shipments chargeable to BUYER, attach transportation
receipt(s) to the invoice, as BUYER will only pay for actual and
reasonable freight cost incurred with BUYER's prior approval;
and (f) notify BUYER of: (i) the number of packages, size, weight;
(ii) the method of protection during shipment; and (iii) the suggested
method for storage and protection upon arrival at destination.
- GOODS: The Goods shall conform in all respects
to the description on the face hereof, and/or BUYER's then-current
specifications furnished to Seller. The Goods shall be new, of
first class commercial type, and of the latest approved design,
unless otherwise specified on the face of this Order. Workmanship
and materials shall be of the best quality and free from defects.
Seller warrants and guarantees the Goods for the period of twelve
(12) months from date of final acceptance, or as otherwise stated
on the face of the order. During the warranty period, all Goods
or parts disclosing defects in design, material and/or workmanship
shall be replaced and delivered to the job site by Seller, without
cost or delay to BUYER. These warranties of Seller, as well as
all other warranties of Seller contained in this Order, shall
be collectively referred to as the "Warranties." The Warranties
are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other warranties or
guarantees made by Seller or created or implied as a matter of
law.
- INFRINGEMENT: Seller warrants that the Goods
and any uses proposed by Seller or reviewed by BUYER with Seller
do not violate the trademark, patent, copyright or trade secret
rights of any person or entity, and Seller will defend BUYER and
save it harmless from any loss incurred as a result of any claim
for misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition and
trademark, patent or copyright infringement which may arise out
of the use or purchase by BUYER of the Goods.
- GOVERNING LAW: This Order shall be governed
by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (including, without
limitation, its UCC) without regard to its conflict of laws provisions,
with jurisdiction and venue in the County where BUYER has its
principal place of business, or the U.S. District Court serving
such County.
- FDA GUARANTY: Seller hereby guarantees and
warrants that the Goods (i) shall not at the time of acceptance
or when used as intended by BUYER be adulterated or misbranded
within the meaning of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act as
amended, and any similar state law, and (ii) shall comply in all
respects with all applicable regulations of the Federal Food and
Drug Administration and similar state regulatory bodies.
- DELIVERY: (a) The time of delivery shall be
as stated on the face of this Order, and time is of the essence;
provided, however, Seller shall not be liable for loss or damage
arising from a Force Majeure event. A "Force Majeure" event shall
be a cause for delay not under the control of Seller. In the event
of such a delay, delivery time shall be extended to include time
by reason of Force Majeure, unless such extended delivery time
renders BUYER'S use of the Goods impractical or frustrates BUYER's
business purpose, in which case BUYER may terminate this Order.
Otherwise, the delivery time shall not be extended beyond the
date specified by BUYER, unless BUYER has agreed to an extension
in writing. Seller may not rely on a course of performance, prior
course of dealings, or trade usage to imply an agreement to extend
the time of delivery or to otherwise amend, alter or negate any
terms of this Order or rights and remedies otherwise provided
BUYER by the UCC or at law and equity. (b) If delivery date(s)
cannot be met, Seller must immediately inform BUYER in writing
of Seller's best possible delivery date(s) subject to BUYER's
written acceptance of such date. In addition to any other rights
and remedies BUYER may have under this Order or provided by law,
if deliveries are not made at the time agreed upon, BUYER may,
at its option: (i) request that Seller ship the Goods by other
than designated routing to expedite delivery (cost of alternative
means to shipment shall be borne by Seller); (ii) cancel this
Order in whole or part; and/or (iii) purchase comparable Goods
elsewhere and hold Seller accountable for any loss or additional
cost arising from such expedited delivery or cancellation.
- INSPECTION: (a) The Goods are subject to inspection
and test by BUYER at reasonable times and places, including the
period of manufacture and in any event prior to final acceptance.
(b) BUYER shall not be under any obligation to inspect the Goods.
The fact of any inspection by BUYER shall not absolve Seller of
any liability. (c) Seller shall promptly pay or reimburse BUYER
for all costs and damages (including lost profits and other consequential
damages) incurred by BUYER (including costs for packaging, handling,
transportation, recall, destruction, production, and other administrative
costs, including legal fees) which arise or result from the delivery
of Goods that are not in accordance with the Warranties or any
other term in this Order. (d) BUYER'S acknowledgment of receipt
on packing slips, bills of lading, or other documents shall not
constitute acceptance. Goods that are delivered in quantity may
be inspected by sampling. (e) If any Goods are defective or otherwise
not in conformity with requirements of this Order, BUYER may reject
them or require correction(s). There shall be an adjustment of
any payments made for rejected Goods, either by Seller's refund
or by a deduction by BUYER from subsequent remittances. Rejected
Goods shall be removed and the Goods shall be corrected or replaced
promptly at Seller's expense and, if returned, shall be identified
by Seller. If rejected Goods are not promptly replaced or if non-conforming
Goods are not promptly corrected, BUYER may, at its option, elect
to do some or all of the following: (i) obtain such Goods or similar
Goods elsewhere and charge Seller with any cost increase caused
thereby; (ii) terminate this Order for default under paragraph
l7 hereof; (iii) accept the Goods at a reduction in price determined
in accordance with paragraph 15 hereof; and/or (iv) seek other
remedies and damages.
- WORK ON BUYER'S PREMISES: If this Order covers
labor, contract, or construction work (or work of any nature)
on BUYER's premises, all such work shall be performed in compliance
with BUYER's General Conditions of the Contract for Construction/Installation
which is hereby incorporated by referenced into this Order. Seller
agrees it has no authority to hire any persons on BUYER's behalf,
and each person employed or used by Seller shall be Seller's employee,
servant or agent (and not BUYER's), as Seller is performing all
of said work as an independent contractor. Seller hereby agrees
to indemnify and save BUYER harmless from any and all judgments,
costs, and expense, including attorneys' fees, which may be sustained
or incurred by BUYER, its officers, employees, and agents, arising
out of or in any way connected with such work done on BUYER's
premises, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of BUYER. Prior to commencing any such work, Seller
shall provide BUYER with certificates evidencing adequate insurance
and naming BUYER as an additional insured.
- NON-CONFORMING GOODS: Seller will not substitute
non-conforming Goods or back order such Goods without BUYER's
prior written approval, and BUYER may reject all or part of any
shipment which contains non-conforming Goods.
- CHANGES; PRICE INCREASE: (a) BUYER may change
any of the terms of this Order by a written change order. Any
changes in Seller's costs of performance arising out of such a
change order shall result in a price adjustment. Pending such
price adjustment, Seller shall proceed with performance and the
parties shall negotiate in good faith [(for a period of not less
than 14 business days)] regarding the consequences of the change
order and its effect on the price. (b) No increase in price will
be accepted without BUYER's written acceptance, and any request
for a price adjustment must (i) be in writing, (ii) be accompanied
by information (reasonably satisfactory to BUYER) regarding the
increase in Seller's cost, and (iii) reference the particular
change order from BUYER.
- NO OTHER CHARGES: In no event will BUYER be
responsible for any interest, collection costs, or other similar
costs or expenses of Seller.
- TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT: If Seller fails to
deliver the Goods within the time specified, or otherwise defaults
in performance, BUYER may terminate this Order in whole or in
part (reserving its rights to damages and otherwise at law and
equity). In the event of termination for default: (a) Seller shall
continue performance of any non-terminated portion of this Order,
and BUYER may obtain elsewhere the portions of the Goods affected
by the termination; and (b) BUYER may, at its option, require
Seller to transfer to BUYER all materials, work in process, completed
supplies, tooling, plans and specifications allocated to the terminated
portion of this Order.
- TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE: BUYER may terminate
this Order in whole or in part at any time whenever the Goods
specified herein are no longer required by BUYER. If, upon such
termination, BUYER and Seller cannot negotiate a mutually satisfactory
settlement within a reasonable time, BUYER, at BUYER's option,
will pay Seller, and Seller agrees to accept, [one of the following]
as full settlement: (a) the purchase price for completed items;
(b) Seller's direct cost allocated to the terminated portion of
this Order; or (c) reasonable direct costs of Seller in settling
claims arising out of this termination, and in protecting property
in which BUYER has or may acquire an interest. IN NO EVENT SHALL
BUYER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, whether under this paragraph or otherwise.
- TAXES: The prices stated in this Order shall
include all applicable taxes in effect on the date hereof and
levied or assessed with respect to the production, sale or use
of the Goods. Seller is solely responsible for the collection
and payment of such taxes.
- NON-DISCLOSURE: Seller agrees not to use, release
or disclose to third parties any information concerning the Goods
and/or process(es) involving the subject matter of this Order
without the prior written consent of BUYER, which may withheld
in BUYER's sole discretion. Seller agrees to execute and deliver
BUYER's standard Confidentiality Agreement prior to commencing
performance or accepting payment under this Order.
- WORK-FOR-HIRE: To the extent the Goods may
be considered "work made for hire" under applicable law, Seller
expressly agrees that the Goods shall be deemed to be work for
hire and that all rights in and to same shall be owned by BUYER,
and Seller hereby waives any right or interest that Seller may
otherwise have in respect thereof.
- HEADINGS: The titles of the paragraphs of this
Order are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation.
- TITLE: Title to the Goods shall pass to BUYER,
f.o.b. destination, unless otherwise stated on the face of this
Order. Seller represents and warrants that good title to the Goods
will pass free and clear of all charges, claims, and liens of
any nature.
- INDEMNIFICATION: Seller shall indemnify and
hold harmless BUYER and its agents, employees, officers, directors,
subsidiaries, affiliates, parent corporation, successors and assigns
from and against all third party claims, demands, losses, attorneys'
fees arising out of or resulting from Seller's performance of
the work, any breach of the Warranties, or Seller's negligence
or willful misconduct.
- COMPLIANCE WITH LAW: Seller's performance under
this Order shall be in compliance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws, ordinances, regulations, rules and statutes.
- SURVIVAL: All representatives and Warranties
of Seller, all rights and remedies of BUYER and any other provisions
hereof which by their express terms or by implication are to survive,
shall survive the termination of this Order.
