Any additional or different terms or modifications to this Contract proposed by Purchaser, whether in a purchase order or otherwise, are expressly rejected by Seller and are not part of this Contract.
2. QUOTATIONS AND PURCHASE ORDERS. If these terms are delivered with a quotation, such quotation may be declared void by Seller unless accepted by Purchaser within 30 days from the date it was delivered, and such quotations are subject to change upon notice, in which case it supersedes all previous quotations and agreements. All purchase orders submitted by Purchaser with the order specific terms (i.e., Product prices, quantity, product specifications, delivery terms and locations) matching Seller's quotation will constitute an acceptance, and these terms and conditions of sales will apply exclusively, and no other extra terms or boilerplate of Buyer will apply. All purchase orders are subject to written acceptance and confirmation by Seller. Orders for Products which are to be used in military/defense applications will not be accepted.
3. DELIVERY. Delivery shall be made EXW (Incoterms 2010) Seller's point of shipment. Purchaser will take title and risk of loss to the Products upon delivery, and expenses will thereafter rest upon Purchaser including without limitation all risks and expenses incurred in the storage and transportation of the Products as well as all insurance, shipping fees, charges, taxes, customs duties and other governmental charges or levies and all other expenses whatsoever thereafter incurred with respect to the Products. Delivery dates are estimated only and are subject to change. Seller may make delivery in installments, each of which may be separately invoiced and paid as billed without regard to subsequent deliveries. Failure to pay for any installment when due will excuse Seller from making further deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment will not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to accept remaining installments. Seller will use reasonable efforts to perform and deliver the Products on time, but will not be liable for any expenses or damages incurred as a result of late delivery. Delivered goods can only be used for civilian end use applications.

Seller shall have the right, among other remedies, including the right of setoff, either to terminate this Contract or to suspend further deliveries under this Contract and/or other agreements with Purchaser in the event Purchaser fails to make any payment when due. Purchaser shall be liable for all expenses related to collection of past due amounts, including attorneys' fees. Seller may require full or partial payment in advance of shipment or change credit or payment terms if, in Seller's opinion, the credit or financial condition of Purchaser is, or is about to become, impaired.

Seller will repair or replace free of charge, any parts of the Products manufactured by Seller which are defective and are returned to Seller at the expense of Purchaser provided that the notice of claim of defects is received within six (6) months from date of shipment. Accessories supplied by Seller but manufactured by others carry whatever warranty such manufacturers have conveyed to Seller. Any warranty claims by Purchaser must be provided to Seller in writing, and failure to do so within the warranty period will be deemed as an unconditional waiver of Purchaser's warranty claim. Purchaser's exclusive remedy for a valid warranty claim is either the repair, replacement, or refund of the price paid by Purchaser for the Product. These remedies do not include the cost of installation, removal, dismantling, or reinstallation.

7. PATENT INFRINGEMENT. Seller will defend or settle, at its sole expense, any third party claim, demand or suit against Purchaser alleging that the use of any Product designed and made by Seller, infringes a U.S. patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right ("IP Claim(s)"); provided: (a) the alleged infringement does not arise from Seller's compliance with specifications or designs furnished by Purchaser; (b) Seller receives prompt written notice of such IP Claim and exclusive control over its defense and/or settlement; and (c) Purchaser provides Seller with all information available to Purchaser for the defense and cooperates with Seller in the defense, and does not take a position adverse to Seller. Further, Seller will have no liability under this Section if and to the extent that an IP Claim is based on: (1) a Product modification made by Purchaser or a third party, or made by Seller at Purchaser's request; (2) use or interconnection by Purchaser of the Product in combination with other products not made or sourced by Seller; or (3) Products made to design or specifications not provided by Seller. Except for third party IP Claims above, and subject to the limitations set out in Section 6 above, Seller's exclusive obligation to Purchaser as to Products declared to infringe, and Seller's right as to Products which Seller believes are likely to infringe, is the acquisition of a license, or the replacement of Products with non-infringing goods, or the modification of the Products so that they are non-infringing. If Seller determines that none of the foregoing alternatives are reasonably available, Seller will issue a refund equal to the purchase price for the affected Products if within one year of delivery or the Purchaser's net book value of the affected Product at the time of the refund. Regarding Purchaser's products made by or utilizing the designs of Purchaser, or products combined or interconnected with Products furnished under this Contract, Purchaser will defend and settle at its sole expense, any third party claim, demand or suit against Seller alleging any of such products infringes a patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right, provided: (i) the alleged infringement does not arise from Purchaser's compliance with specifications or designs furnished by Seller; (ii) Purchaser receives prompt written notice of such claim, demand or suit and exclusive control over its defense and/or settlement; and (iii) Seller provides Purchaser with all information available to Seller for the defense and cooperates with Purchaser in the defense, and does not take a position adverse to Purchaser.

Purchaser shall use Seller's Confidential Information only for the purposes contemplated under this Contract and shall not disclose it to third parties. Purchaser shall maintain the confidentiality of Seller's Confidential Information in the same manner, but in no event less than the manner, in which it protects its own confidential information. Purchaser is permitted to disclose Seller's Confidential Information to its employees and authorized subcontractors on a need to know basis only, provided that such employees and authorized subcontractors have written confidentiality obligations to Purchaser no less stringent than the confidentiality obligations under this Section.

17. WAIVER, ENTIRE AGREEMNENT, SEVERABILITY, ASSIGNMENT. The failure of either party to enforce any right or remedy provided in this Contract or by law on a particular occasion will not be deemed a waiver of that right or remedy on a subsequent occasion or a waiver of any other right or remedy.

This Contract may not be modified unless in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
