Terms and Conditions of Sale

Goods sold by Nuvik USA, Inc. (“Nuvik”) are expressly subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. Any different, additional, or conflicting terms or conditions in Buyer’s purchase order, order, or similar communication are objected to, and shall not be binding on Nuvik unless expressly agreed to in writing by Nuvik and neither these terms and conditions nor shipment nor performance by Nuvik shall constitute an acceptance of any of Buyer’s conflicting terms. Buyer’s payment for the Goods constitutes an acceptance of Nuvik’s terms and conditions, and Buyer’s acceptance is expressly limited to the terms and conditions provided below.

1. Applicability.
(a) These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) by the seller Nuvik to the purchaser named on the issued purchase order (“Buyer”) (Nuvik and the Buyer are collectively referred to as the “parties”).

(b) The accompanying Sales Confirmation (the “Sales Confirmation” and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

(c) In the event these Terms are part of a written supply agreement, the term “Order” used herein shall mean any purchase order issued under the Supply Agreement.

2. Delivery.
(a) The goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer’s purchase order. Nuvik shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Nuvik shall deliver the Goods to the address reflected on the Buyer’s purchase order for shipment (the “Delivery Point”) using Nuvik’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods within upon Nuvik’s written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.

(c) Nuvik may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order.

(d) If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Nuvik’s notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Point: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Nuvik, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

3. Non-Delivery.
Any liability of Nuvik for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

4. Shipping Terms.
Nuvik shall make delivery in accordance with the terms on the face of the Sales Confirmation.

5. Title and Risk of Loss.
Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Point.

7. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods.
(a) Buyer shall inspect the Goods within five (5) days of delivery (the “Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Nuvik in writing of any nonconforming goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Nuvik.

(b) If Buyer timely notifies Nuvik of any nonconforming goods, Nuvik shall, in its sole discretion:
(i) replace such nonconforming goods with conforming goods; or
(ii) credit or refund the price for such nonconforming goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship the Nonconforming Goods to Nuvik’s facility identified on Nuvik’s Order Acknowledgement. If Nuvik exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Nuvik shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Nuvik’s expense and risk of loss, the replacement goods to the Delivery Point.
(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 8(b) are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of nonconforming goods.

(b) All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts payable by Buyer.
