Should Buyer become delinquent in payment of any sum due to Seller (whether under the current Order or otherwise), Seller shall not be obligated to continue performance under this Document.  Any amounts not paid when due will be subject to a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount due per month or the highest rate permitted under applicable law, whichever is less, until the balance is paid in full.  Seller shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs) incurred in attempting to collect undisputed payments from Buyer that are more than sixty (60) days delinquent.

Buyer shall pay all sales, use, value-added, excise, or similar taxes and duties and any shipping, delivery, and related insurance costs applicable to the Products, which shall be in addition to the Prices, unless otherwise agreed.  In lieu of certain tax payments, Buyer may provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities.  Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for any such amounts which Seller incurs on behalf of Buyer.

7. CUSTOM PRODUCTS. Buyer may request that Seller manufacture certain Products according to specifications requested by Buyer (“Custom Products”) by placing an Order for such Custom Products.  Buyer acknowledges that the Custom Products being purchased from Seller are made solely for Buyer.  Therefore, after ten (10) calendar days from the date Seller receives an Order from Buyer for Custom Products, Buyer may not cancel the Order for Custom Products without Seller’s prior written consent.  All cancelled Orders for Custom Products, if permitted by Seller, are subject to a cancelation fee in the amount of thirty percent (30%) of the total purchase price under the Order.  If the Custom Products have been scheduled for delivery or have been delivered when Buyer improperly attempts to cancel the Order, Seller shall have no obligation to accept the cancelation, and Buyer shall remain liable for the entire purchase price of the Custom Products.

All returns shall conform to Seller’s return policy and standards, as applicable from time to time.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of return of Non-Custom Products, Buyer shall return the Non-Custom Products in the original packaging and in resalable condition.  Buyer shall be responsible for packing and documenting the Non-Custom Products according to Seller’s requirements.  Seller shall have the right not to accept the return for all or any part thereof if Buyer does not comply with the terms of this Section 9.  Any packing and logistics costs incurred shall also be borne by the Buyer.

10. LIMITED WARRANTY. Seller warrants that: (i) it has the right to convey good title to the Products, free and clear of any lien or encumbrance; and (ii) the Products shall meet their specifications in all material respects at the time of shipment.  Any alleged breach of the foregoing limited warranty must be promptly reported to Seller.  If Seller determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that any Product does not conform to the warranty stated in this Section, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Seller’s sole and exclusive obligation, at Seller’s option, shall be for Seller to either: (i) replace the nonconforming Product at Seller’s own expense; or (ii) credit Buyer the purchase Price for the nonconforming Product.
