All sales of Seller to Buyer are subject to these Terms. Any purchase order or other communication from Buyer that contains terms and conditions in addition to or inconsistent with these Terms will not be binding upon Seller, unless acceptance of those terms and conditions is made in writing by an authorized representative of Seller.2. Quotations; Acceptance of Orders
Written quotations automatically expire 30 days after the date issued unless otherwise specified in the quotation. A verbal quotation expires on the day that it was made. All quotations are subject to these Terms and to Seller's written order acknowledgment. Orders become effective only when accepted by Seller's written order acknowledgment.3. Prices
This invoice supersedes all previous quotations and proposals. Unless stated otherwise, pricing errors are subject to change and prices do not include any applicable:-
(a) property, sales, use, privilege or export taxes, custom duties or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any government authority on or measured by any transaction between the Parties or

4. Payment
Terms of payment are the net amount of the invoice in United States currency within 30 days after the date of the invoice. A late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount of the invoice will be charged for each month, or any portion thereof, that payment is not made within 30 days after the date of the invoice.5. Shipment; Shortages; Delay; Risk of Loss
Shipment dates are estimated and Seller will not be liable for late shipments. If freight must be prepaid, payment will be made for the account of Buyer. Seller may make delivery installments, separately invoiced and payable without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment will not relieve Buyer of its obligations to accept the initial or any remaining installments. If shipments are delayed by Buyer, invoices may be rendered on the dates Seller is prepared to make shipments. If completion of manufacture is delayed by Buyer, invoices may be rendered when delay is ascertained, based upon percentage of completion. Products will be shipped f.o.b. point of origin, with all risk of loss or damage to products passing to Buyer upon delivery to carrier; provided, however, that products held by Seller as a result of Buyer's inability or refusal to accept delivery will be held at Buyer's risk, cost and expense. Any claim for shortage must be reported to Seller within 30 days after receipt of products or Buyer waives any claim for shortages.6. Force Majeure
Seller will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance of any order, in the delivery or shipment of any product or for any damages or losses suffered by Buyer or any third party which are caused by, or in any manner arise from, directly or indirectly, any labor disturbances, embargos, riots, storms, fires, explosions, acts of God or public enemies, inability to obtain necessary labor or raw materials, accidents or breakdown to, or mechanical failure of, machinery or equipment, changes in economic conditions, delays or interruptions in transportation or any other causes beyond Seller's control. In the event of such delay, the applicable shipment date(s) will be postponed to compensate for such delay. If Seller's performance is rendered permanently impossible or impracticable, either Party may cancel the affected order(s) upon written notice to the other Party, and, upon such cancellation, Seller will have no liability and Buyer will be liable only for the pro-rated or allocated portion of such order(s) completed, including without limitation all inventory and supplies not returnable for full credit or otherwise useable by Seller.7.
