Seller is not bound by any terms in any document furnished or otherwise proposed by Buyer which attempt to impose any conditions at variance with Seller's terms which are included herein. Seller's failure to object to provisions contained in any of Buyer's forms shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Seller's terms and conditions which shall constitute the entire, final and exclusive contract between the parties. This agreement between Seller and Buyer (the "sales contract") with respect to the products (the "products") and/or services (the "services") shall consist of the terms described on this page together with any other terms and conditions posted on eJIT, and any additions or revisions of such terms mutually agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer.

Prior courses of dealing and verbal agreements not reduced to a writing signed by Seller, to the extent they modify, add to or detract from the sales contract, shall not be binding on Seller.

If all or part of the sales contract is terminated by such modification or rescission, Buyer, in the absence of a contrary written agreement between Seller and Buyer, shall pay termination charges based upon cost determined by accepted accounting principles, plus a reasonable profit on the entire order.

Any tax or other governmental charge upon the provision of services, or the production, sale, shipment, transfer, consumption, or use of the products which Seller is required to pay or collect from Buyer shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, unless Buyer furnishes Seller with exemption certificates acceptable to taxing authorities. Such amount shall be due whether or not included on the invoice.

5. Shipping date or other applicable performance date is estimated on the basis of immediate receipt by Seller of Buyer's order and all information, drawings and approvals to be furnished by Buyer, and the absence of delays, direct or indirect, resulting from or contributed to by circumstances beyond Seller's reasonable control. Seller will in good faith endeavor to ship products or perform services by the estimated date. Seller shall have the right to make partial shipments. All changes in specifications or estimated shipping or performance date will be by mutual written agreement of Seller and Buyer and where such changes affect Seller's time or cost of performance, an equitable adjustment in estimated shipping/performance date or purchase price, or both, will be made. Prior to shipping, Seller, if requested, will afford Buyer a reasonable opportunity to inspect the products in Seller's plant. If no packaging, loading or bracing requirements are stated, Seller will comply with minimum specifications for the method of transportation specified. If no method of transportation is specified, shipment will be by a reasonable method of transportation.

7. Seller passes on and assigns to Buyer the warranties made to Seller by its suppliers, which at a minimum, include a warranty that the products at the time of shipment to Buyer will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, and will be materially in accordance with specifications provided by the manufacturer. Seller's warranty in its entirety shall be deemed limited to and shall not extend beyond such manufacturers' warranties. The length of the warranty period will be the length established by the manufacturer of the product and if no length is specified by the manufacturer, shall in no event extend beyond one (1) year from the date of shipment. Buyer shall proceed exclusively and directly against such supplier at Seller's request. This warranty does not cover wear and tear and shall be ineffective and shall not apply to products that have been subjected to misuse or abuse, neglect, accident, damage, improper installation, or maintenance. Buyer will inspect the products upon delivery and will promptly notify Seller in writing of any defect in the products. Seller's sole obligation under these warranties will be limited to either, at Seller's option and expense, repairing or furnishing a replacement for the products or parts thereof which Seller reasonably determines do not conform with these warranties, and Buyer's exclusive remedy for breach of any such warranties will be enforcement of such obligation of Seller. All transportation costs of and in-transit risk of loss and damage to products or parts thereof returned for warranty repair, and to such repaired or replacement products or parts thereof returned to Buyer, will be borne by Buyer. No agent, employee or representative of Seller has any authority to bind Seller to any representation, affirmation or warranty concerning the products and any such representation, affirmation or warranty shall not be deemed to have become part of the basis of this sales contract and shall be unenforceable. Seller will perform the services in accordance with Seller's customary procedures. Seller makes no warranty that software will operate uninterrupted or error free.

8. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING SUCH DAMAGES OCCASIONED BY SELLER'S NEGLIGENCE, nor shall Seller's liability on any claims for damages arising out of or connected with the sales contract or the manufacture, sale, delivery or use of the products exceed the purchase price of the products and/or services. Seller shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under the sales contract resulting directly or indirectly from or contributed to acts of God, acts of Buyer, civil or military authority, fires, strikes or other labor disputes, accidents, floods, war, riot, inability to secure material or transportation facilities, acts or omissions of carriers, or any other circumstances beyond Seller's reasonable control. Seller shall have no liability under this sales contract than otherwise expressly provided in this sales contract.

9. Seller will hold Buyer harmless against any rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement of any United States Letters Patent by products which are of Seller's own manufacture, but if Buyer furnishes specifications to Seller, Buyer will hold Seller harmless against any such claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications; provided that the party seeking to be held harmless notifies the other party and gives it the right to defend. Except as is provided in this paragraph, Seller makes no warranty that the products will be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third party by way of infringement of any intellectual property rights or the like. Seller's obligation under this paragraph shall not apply to any infringement consisting of the use of products as part of goods manufactured by Buyer or others.
