AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. ACCEPTANCE. This quotation is an offer to sell and provide the goods and/or services listed on the face hereof for the validity period indicated on the face hereof. If no such validity period is indicated, this quotation is not an offer to sell.
Buyer
may accept this quotation by signing and returning a copy of this quotation or
by returning Buyer's own form of purchase order/contract (hereinafter referred
to as “order”) expressly acknowledging the terms set forth herein. Any additional or different terms set forth
or referenced in Buyer's order are hereby objected to by HONEYWELL and shall be
deemed a material alteration of this offer and not a part of any resulting
order, unless specifically agreed to in writing signed by an authorized
representative of HONEYWELL. Buyer's
order shall be deemed accepted only after HONEYWELL's acknowledgement form is signed
by an authorized representative of HONEYWELL and shall not be construed to be
accepted by any other action of HONEYWELL, including, but not limited to,
commencement of performance.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Buyer's acceptance, use, or re-sale of such
goods and/or services shall constitute its express agreement to the terms set
forth herein unless otherwise agreed to in writing by HONEYWELL.
2.
TERMS OF
PAYMENT. HONEYWELL shall invoice
customer after the products or prototypes have been shipped or service
provided. Unless otherwise stated in
the order, all payments are due and payable thirty (30) days from the date of
invoice, provided however, that HONEYWELL shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to require payment before shipment or payment via letter of credit
in the event that it determines that customer is delinquent in payment or will
exceed its credit limit. This right
shall apply until such time as customer is again current and below the credit
limit. HONEYWELL may stop performance
of the order (including shipments) if Buyer does not comply with applicable
credit terms or the terms of this order.
3.
PAYMENT. All payments shall be made in U. S dollars
to HONEYWELL International Inc. Solid State Electronic Center, PO Box 92676,
Chicago, IL, 60675. If all the goods or
services ordered are not delivered or performed at one time, Buyer shall pay
the unit prices applicable to the goods delivered or services performed. Each shipment shall be considered a separate
and independent transaction. Late
payment of invoices may be assessed a charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per
month of the balance due or the statutorily allowed maximum rate of interest in
accordance with the laws of the state of Minnesota.
All shipments, deliveries and
performance of work ordered shall at all times be subject to the credit
approval of HONEYWELL. HONEYWELL may at
any time decline to make any shipments or deliveries, or perform any work
except upon receipt of payment or upon terms and conditions or security
arrangements satisfactory to HONEYWELL.
4. PRICES.
The prices for the goods covered hereby shall be those shown in the
order; provided, however, that if such prices are based on the purchase of a
particular quantity of goods and Buyer fails to purchase such quantity,
HONEYWELL shall have the right (in addition to any other rights and remedies
HONEYWELL may have) to collect from Buyer the difference between the price paid
by Buyer for the goods purchased and HONEYWELL's standard price for such goods
in the quantity purchased by Buyer.
HONEYWELL reserves a security in any
goods sold to the extent of the invoiced amount to secure payment of Buyer's
obligation. If Buyer defaults under any
obligation hereunder, it agrees to make the goods available so that HONEYWELL
may repossess them without breach of the peace. A copy of the invoice may be filed with appropriate authorities
at any time as a financing statement to evidence or perfect HONEYWELL's
security interest in the goods. At
HONEYWELL's request, Buyer will execute any instrument HONEYWELL shall desire
to perfect its security interest.
5. VARIATION IN QUANTITY. (Applicable when standard products have been
customized for a specific order)
HONEYWELL may ship a quantity which is five percent (5%) more or less
than the ordered quantity and Buyer will accept and pay for the quantity
delivered at the unit price stated in the order.
6. CHANGES. Except as
otherwise provided in the order, this order may not be changed in any manner
without the written concurrence of both Buyer and Honeywell.
7. INSPECTION AND TESTING. All goods may be inspected and tested by
Buyer at all reasonable times and places.
All inspection and tests shall be conducted in a manner so as not to
unreasonably delay the work. If such
inspection and testing is made on HONEYWELL's premises, HONEYWELL shall
provide, without additional charge, reasonable facilities and assistance for
such inspection and tests. All
inspection records related to the goods shall be available to Buyer during the
performance of the Agreement, and such longer periods as may be mutually
agreed. No inspection (including source
inspection), test, or acceptance of the goods shall relieve HONEYWELL from
responsibility for any defects in the goods or other failures to meet the
requirements of this Agreement.
8.
DELIVERY. HONEYWELL
recognizes the desirability of making delivery promptly and shall make
reasonable efforts to meet the proposed delivery schedule; however, HONEYWELL
shall not be liable for, nor shall HONEYWELL be in breach of, its obligations
to Buyer because of any delivery made within a reasonable time after the stated
delivery date. HONEYWELL shall not be
liable for any late delivery caused by the failure of Buyer to provide any
necessary information in a timely manner.
As used herein, the term, "Delivery" means delivery FOB (Free
Carrier) at HONEYWELL's facilities.
Upon written request by Buyer, HONEYWELL will ship individual units of
goods to the destination and via the carriers specified by Buyer, freight
collect. When tendered, and during
shipment, goods will be packed at
HONEYWELL's expense. Any
modification to this shipping standard specified by Buyer will be billable to
Buyer.
9. F.O.B. AND RISK OF LOSS. All shipments will be F.O.B. HONEYWELL's
facility. HONEYWELL's liability for
delivery shall cease upon HONEYWELL's delivery to the carrier at the F.O.B.
point. Title and all risk of loss or
damage to the goods shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the carrier.
10. ACCEPTANCE OF
GOODS/SERVICES. HONEYWELL must be
notified in writing of all alleged defects, shortages, or over shipments within
30 days from receipt of shipment at Buyer's facility, and failure of advisement
by Buyer within such period will be deemed to be final acceptance of such
goods. Buyer's acceptance shall be
conclusive. HONEYWELL shall be solely
responsible for determining remedy to correct defects, shortages, or over
shipments.
11. EXCUSABLE DELAY. HONEYWELL shall not be liable for any failure to deliver, or
delay in the delivery of, any goods or services due to any cause beyond its
reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, acts of civil or
military authority, fires, epidemics, floods, riots, wars, sabotage, labor
disputes, governmental actions or inability to obtain materials, components,
energy, manufacturing facilities, or transportation. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery or
performance hereunder shall be extended by a period equal to the time lost by
reason of such delay. In the event
HONEYWELL's production is curtailed for any of the above reasons, HONEYWELL may
allocate its production among its various customers. Such allocation shall be made in a commercially fair and
reasonable manner.
12. TAXES.
Prices do
not include applicable taxes including, without limitation, excise, sales or
use taxes. Any taxes (other than
taxes due on Seller’s net income) that are payable on transactions hereunder
shall be the responsibility of Buyer.
Seller reserves the right to invoice Buyer for any such taxes that are or
may become payable by Seller. Buyer shall supply Honeywell with a copy of an
appropriate tax exemption certificate.
13. BREACH.
Any one of the following acts by Buyer shall constitute a breach of
Buyer's obligations under this order.
(a) Failure to make payment for any goods or
services from HONEYWELL when due;
(b) Failure to accept conforming goods or
services supplied hereunder;
(c)
The failure to obtain written consent of HONEYWELL prior to the return
of any goods shipped to Buyer;
(d)
The filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy against
Buyer, the institution of any proceedings in insolvency or bankruptcy
(including reorganization) against Buyer, the appointment of a trustee or
receiver of Buyer, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors of Buyer.
(e) Any other act by Buyer in violation of any
of the provisions of such order.
In
the event that Buyer breaches such order in any manner set forth above,
HONEYWELL may, by written notice to Buyer, terminate the order, or any part
thereof, without any liability whatsoever.
Buyer shall pay all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees,
incurred by HONEYWELL in any action brought by HONEYWELL to collect payments
owing or otherwise enforce its rights.
14. CANCELLATION. Buyer may not cancel the order without
HONEYWELL's prior written consent signed by an authorized representative of
HONEYWELL. If Buyer attempts to cancel
without HONEYWELL's properly authorized consent, or shall otherwise repudiate
this order, Buyer shall be liable to HONEYWELL for all of HONEYWELL's costs and
non-cancelable commitments incurred to date of such attempted cancellation,
plus HONEYWELL's incidental damages, plus the profit HONEYWELL would have made
from full performance of this order.
15. PATENT INDEMNITY. This
section states HONEYWELL's total responsibility and liability and Buyer's sole
remedy for any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark or
copyright by any goods delivered hereunder, or any part thereof. This section is in lieu of and replaces any
other express, implied or statutory warranty against infringement of any such
rights held by others. HONEYWELL will
not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
resulting from any such infringement.
(a) HONEYWELL shall, at its own expense, defend
any suit that may be instituted against Buyer for any alleged infringement of any United States patent, trademark or
copyright related to the goods ordered (except goods covered by Section 15 (b)
and (c)below), provided that: (i) such
alleged infringement does not arise from the use of such goods as a part of or
in combination with any other devices or parts not furnished by HONEYWELL, or
from the modification of such goods by a party other than HONEYWELL after
delivery by HONEYWELL, (ii) Buyer gives HONEYWELL prompt notice in writing of
any such suit and permits HONEYWELL through counsel of its choice, to answer
the charge of infringement and defend such suit; and (iii) Buyer gives
HONEYWELL all the needed information, assistance and authority, at HONEYWELL's
expense, to enable HONEYWELL to defend such suit. In case of a final award of damages in any such suit, and after
all courses of appeal have been exhausted or have expired, HONEYWELL shall pay
such award but shall not be responsible for any settlement made without its
prior written consent.
(b) Buyer shall, at its own expense, indemnify
and hold HONEYWELL harmless from and against any expense or loss resulting from
any infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright arising as a result of
HONEYWELL's compliance with any of Buyer's designs, specifications, Buyer
provided or directed materials or instructions, and shall defend at its own
expense, including attorney's fees, any suit brought against HONEYWELL alleging
any such infringement, provided that HONEYWELL (i) gives Buyer prompt notice of
any such suit and permits Buyer, through counsel of its choice, to defend such
suit, and (ii) gives Buyer all needed information, assistance and authority, at
Buyer's expense, necessary for Buyer to defend any such suit.
(c) Buyer shall, at its own
expense, indemnify and hold Honeywell harmless from and against any expense or
loss resulting from any infringement of any patent, trademark or copyright
arising as a result of any of the following:
1) Anything buyer provides which is incorporated into a
product or service (including, but not limited to specifications, designs,
documents, reports, or data);
2)
Customer’s modification of a product or service;
3)
The combination, operation, or use of a product or service with any product,
data, or apparatus that HONEYWELL did not provide; or
4)
Infringement by a non-HONEYWELL product alone, as opposed to its combination
with products HONEYWELL provides to customers as a system.
16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Seller's liability for damages arising out of or related to this agreement is limited to the contract price for the specific product or service that gives rise to the claim. In no event will seller be liable for any incidental damages, consequential damages, special damages, indirect damages, loss of profits, loss of revenues, or loss of use, even if informed of the possibility of such damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these limitations and exclusions will apply regardless of whether liability arises from breach of contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence), by operation of law, or otherwise. In the event any products provided under this order are used in any medical applications, Buyer indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from any and all third party liability, including direct product liability.
17. DISPUTES. Any dispute
arising under this order which is not disposed of by agreement of the parties
shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. Pending settlement of final decision of any
such dispute, HONEYWELL shall proceed diligently with the performance of this
order in accordance with Buyer's direction.
18. WARRANTY.
HONEYWELL will repair, replace, or credit, at our option, items provided
under this order which are not free from defects in workmanship and material
under normal use and service if such items are returned to HONEYWELL within
ninety (90) days after delivery. THIS
WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND CONSTITUTES
HONEYWELL'S ENTIRE OBLIGATION WITH REGARD TO DELIVERED GOODS. IN NO EVENT WILL HONEYWELL BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
If customer claims that any products are nonconforming, customer shall
(1) promptly notify HONEYWELL in writing of the basis for such nonconformity;
(2) follow HONEYWELL’s instructions for return of the products; and (3) at
HONEYWELL’s request, return the products to the HONEYWELL designated location.
In the event customized products are being ordered, Buyer
acknowledges that the functionality of products is contingent on customer’s
designs and, therefore, such warranty does not apply to the functionality of
products fabricated under this agreement.
HONEYWELL warrants services will be performed using reasonable care and
skill.
This warranty does not cover products that are defective
because of accident, abuse, misuse, negligence, modification, removal or
alteration by customer or third party, failure caused by a product which
HONEYWELL did not provide or for which HONEYWELL is not responsible, or use or
storage in other than its specified operation environment.
All prototypes are provided “As Is” without warranty or
indemnification of any kind by HONEYWELL.
19. APPLICABLE LAW. The validity, performance and construction of the terms of this
order shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. If any part, term or provision of this
agreement is declared unlawful or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remainder of this agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
20. ASSIGNMENT. Buyer may
not assign its rights or obligations under the order without the prior written
consent of HONEYWELL, and any purported assignment without such consent shall
have no force or effect.
21. WAIVER.
Any waiver by HONEYWELL of any default of Buyer hereunder shall not be
deemed to be a continuing waiver of such default or a waiver of any other
default or of any of the terms and conditions of the order.
22 AMENDMENT. The terms and conditions of the order may
not be superseded, modified, or amended except in writing by stating that it is
such a modification and signed by an authorized representative of each party
hereto, provided, however, that HONEYWELL may modify the specifications of the
goods sold hereunder if such modification does not change the form, fit or
function of such goods.
23.
EXPORT CONTROL
LAWS. The parties understand and agree
that Buyer is subject to all applicable laws and regulations of the U.S. and
certain other countries with respect to the export and use of the equipment
and/or technology exported from such countries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties
shall obtain the prior written approval of the competent authorities of the
U.S., or any other country having proper jurisdiction, before any equipment or
technology may be resold, sublicensed, diverted, transferred, transshipped,
reshipped, or re-exported to, or used in, any country for any purpose other
than as described on the applicable export license.
Whenever HONEYWELL
arranges for export or import, with respect to all relevant government and
administrative authorities, including the United States and European Union,
customer: (1) recognizes that HONEYWELL may not know or have reason to know the
intended function of customer’s products or technical data and must rely on
customer to provide correct information for export and import of products, or
technical data, (2) agrees to provide all necessary information to determine
all relevant export authorizations and to export and import of products or
technical data, and (3) agrees to assist with obtaining any required licenses and
authorizations for export or import of products or technical data and with
making any required filing. Customer
shall be fully responsible for the correctness of information provided by
customer and any use of it to comply with applicable regulations.
Failure to comply with the
export regulation provisions above shall void all warranties provided by
HONEYWELL.
24. INTERPRETATION. Ambiguities, inconsistencies, or conflicts
in the order will not be strictly construed against the drafter of the contract
language; rather, they shall be resolved by applying the most reasonable
interpretation under the circumstances, giving full consideration to the
intentions of the parties at the time of contracting.
25. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or enforceability of any
particular provision of the order shall not affect the other provisions within
the order, and the remaining provisions of the order shall be construed in all
respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions were omitted. In the event that any part of the order is
held by any court or other judicial or administrative body to be null, void or
unenforceable, said provision shall survive to the extent it is not so
declared, and all of the other provisions of the order shall remain in full
force and effect.
26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The order, along with these terms and conditions and any documents incorporated by reference on the face hereof (but expressly not including any of the terms and conditions of Buyer's purchase order or any similar document issued by Buyer), constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and HONEYWELL with regard to the goods or services listed on the face hereof, and expressly supersedes and replaces any prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, relating to such goods or services.
