OTC Services Inc. Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: February 01, 2023

These Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, including any Addendum which may be attached hereto (the “Terms and Conditions”), constitute the full and final expressions of the contract for purchase of material, supplies, services and/or equipment as described in the Purchase Order or Seller’s quotation. “Purchase Order” means the written order form and all exhibits, schedules or attachments that are attached thereto or incorporated therein, including these Terms and Conditions, used by OTC Services Inc. (the “Buyer”), to place an order with the person or entity that receives the Purchase Order from, or fills an order from, Buyer for the sale of Goods (the “Seller”), and supersedes all prior quotations, purchase orders, correspondence or communications whether written or oral between the Buyer and the Seller notwithstanding any contrary language in the Seller’s quotation. “Goods” mean the goods and/or services ordered by Buyer or delivered by Seller to Buyer under a Purchase Order, as such goods and/or services are further detailed in the body of the written Purchase Order or in any statement of work, specifications or other technical documentation that comprise the Purchase Order.

These Terms and Conditions take precedence over Seller’s additional or different terms and conditions, to which notice of objection is hereby given. This Purchase Order constitutes Buyer’s offer to Seller and is subject to withdrawal by Buyer at any time prior to written communication of Seller’s acceptance of this Purchase Order. Buyer shall be bound by these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions when Buyer has in its possession, unconditional written acceptance by the Seller of the Purchase Order, including these Terms and Conditions. At the election of Buyer, Seller’s commencement of performance of the Purchase Order shall constitute acceptance by Seller of these Terms and Conditions. No amendments, modifications, or supplements to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions will be valid and binding upon Buyer unless in writing and signed by Buyer.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONTRACT IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE STATED HEREIN AND ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS PROPOSED BY SELLER ARE REJECTED UNLESS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN WRITING BY BUYER.
No contract shall exist except as herein provided. No statement, representation or warranty not contained herein shall be binding on the Buyer unless made in writing by an officer or other authorized representative of the Buyer. Prior dealing, usage of trade or course of performance shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of these Terms and Conditions even though the accepting or acquiescing party had knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Ohio is used herein, the definition contained in the Code shall apply.

1. PRICES

Prices shown on the Purchase Order are fixed, and include all applicable VAT, sales, use and other applicable federal, state and local taxes. Shipping terms are F.O.B. Buyer’s address shown on the Purchase Order. Unless expressly agreed to in writing to the contrary, the costs of transporting, packing, (including boxing and crating), labels, labor, materials, production costs and loading are included in the price. Changes in the price shall only be accepted by the Buyer if and so far as they are the result of written changes in or additions to the Purchase Order in the form of an Addendum executed by both parties. Seller warrants to Buyer that the price for the Goods is not less favorable than the price currently extended to any other customer for the same or like Goods in equal or lesser amounts. If Seller reduces its price for the Goods before payment by Buyer, then Seller will reduce the Purchase Order price correspondingly. Seller will provide Buyer with all cash discounts or other incentives as generally offered by Seller. Seller will calculate price discounts, if any, from the later of the invoice date or the date Buyer receives the Goods.

2. SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

Seller shall observe specified shipping instructions as provided in these Terms and Conditions and in any Purchase Order and shall be responsible for all freight and insurance costs required to deliver the Goods. All Goods will be properly contained, packaged, and labeled with an appropriate Purchase Order number, if applicable. The Seller guarantees that the order is supplied with correct labeling and product information, and all instructions and directions, including those for transport, storage, handling, processing and use. The Seller shall bear the risk of loss, damage, or destruction until final acceptance of the Goods by Buyer at Buyer’s destination, and Seller shall be liable for damage caused by insufficient and/or inadequate packaging. Seller shall contract with carriers that comply with insurance requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies.

3. DELIVERY DATE AND TIME

By accepting a Purchase Order from the Buyer, the Seller acknowledges that it is aware that any date and time given in the Purchase Order for the delivery of Goods is of the essence and essential to the Buyer. The Seller shall deliver the Goods to Buyer on the date and time that is stipulated in the Purchase Order, unless the Buyer has agreed in writing to another date and time. If in the course of performance Seller cannot meet delivery dates, Seller will inform Buyer in writing of Seller’s best possible delivery date for Buyer’s approval. The notice shall state the reason and the expected duration of the delay in delivery. If Buyer does not approve the alternate delivery dates or if Seller delivers Goods outside of the delivery date, then Buyer may cancel the Purchase Order without further liability, purchase the Goods elsewhere, and/or hold Seller accountable for all damages resulting from the alternate or delayed delivery dates.

4. TERM OF PAYMENT

Buyer will pay each invoice net thirty (30) days from the later date of Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s invoice, or the date of completion of delivery or performance of the applicable Goods. Buyer may withhold payment if Seller’s invoice is incorrect or does not conform to Buyer’s invoicing instructions. Any applicable sales tax, duty excise tax, use tax, or other similar tax or charge, for which Buyer has not furnished an exemption certificate, must be itemized separately on Seller’s invoices. Additionally, Seller’s invoices must include the purchase order number and the location the Goods were delivered to.

5. INSPECTION

All Goods shall be received subject to Buyer’s testing, inspection, and rejection before or after installation. Buyer reserves the right to reject Goods that are unsatisfactory, faulty, or defective or do not conform to the requirements of the Purchase Order, including these Terms and Conditions. Defective Goods or Goods not in accordance with Buyer’s specifications will be held for Seller’s instruction and at Seller’s risk and, if Seller so directs, will be returned at Seller’s expense. No Goods returned as defective shall be replaced without a new Purchase Order and schedule. Payment for Goods on a Purchase Order prior to inspection shall not constitute an acceptance thereof by Buyer, nor will acceptance remove Seller’s responsibility for latent defects. Approval of design of the product by Buyer does not relieve Seller of its responsibility for satisfactory performance of the Goods and/or services furnished hereunder. Buyer reserves the right to review Seller’s quality assurance and quality control procedures and inspect and witness all operations and tests and Seller shall notify Buyer when portions of the Goods are ready for inspection. At the option of Buyer, Buyer may inspect the Goods at Seller’s shops or at the shops of their subcontractors (of any tier) or at the Buyer’s facility, or any combination thereof. Seller and its subcontractors (of any tier) shall provide access to the Goods and reasonable facilities and assistance to promote the safe and convenient execution of these activities. Neither inspection or testing, nor failure to inspect, shall constitute or imply acceptance of any Goods, and does not relieve the Seller of the responsibilities for compliance with all Purchase Order requirements. All Seller costs to perform such inspection or testing shall be included in the Purchase Order price. If any Goods are defective, or not in compliance with a Purchase Order, Seller shall, at its cost, promptly (a) remove and replace all such affected Goods and (b) clean, repair or replace, as required by Buyer, any of Buyer’s equipment damaged by such affected Goods. If Seller fails to comply with this agreement, Buyer may perform such tasks and shall promptly be reimbursed by Seller for all costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith. Payment, if any, made for any Goods rejected hereunder shall be promptly reimbursed by Seller. Reimbursement may not be made by means of credit unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Buyer. Seller shall provide with each shipment a certificate stating: (i) that all Goods, including the designs, supplied by Seller have been inspected; (ii) they comply in all respects with the specifications and/or drawings in accordance with the Purchase Order; and (iii) all inspection and test results are available for examination by Buyer. Where Goods or processes are procured from others, Seller shall provide a certificate certifying these Goods and processes as above and that evidence of same is available for examination by Buyer.

6. CANCELLATION

In addition to any other rights which Buyer may have, Buyer reserves the right to cancel a Purchase Order or any portion thereof by giving Seller written notice of such cancellation. In that event, Seller shall take reasonable steps to mitigate its damages and will stop work on the date and to the extent specified in the notice and will terminate all orders and subcontracts to the extent they relate to the terminated work. Seller shall be responsible if the Goods furnished pursuant to a Purchase Order or any shipments thereunder are defective in any manner or not in compliance with the Purchase Order. Buyer shall further have the right to cancel a Purchase Order or any unfulfilled portion of a Purchase Order without liability if (a) the shipping date specified is not satisfactory to Buyer or if delivery is not made when and as specified or within a reasonable time if not specified; (b) Seller is adjudicated bankrupt, or if a petition under a bankruptcy law is filed against Seller and is not vacated within sixty days; (c) Seller makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) a receiver of the property of Seller is appointed, or if action under any law for the relief of debtors is taken in respect of Seller; (e) Seller admits in writing that it is insolvent or unable to pay any of its debts as they may become due; or (f) the Goods do not meet any of Seller’s representations, warranties or guarantees. Buyer may also suspend performance and delivery hereunder upon notice to Seller of such suspension. Upon receipt of such suspension notice, Seller shall forthwith comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the incurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the Purchase Order during the period of work stoppage. An equitable adjustment shall be made in the delivery schedule or Purchase Order price, or both, and the Purchase Order shall be modified in writing accordingly, if (i) the stop work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in Seller’s cost properly allocable to the performance of any part of the Purchase Order, and (ii) Seller asserts a claim for such adjustment within thirty days after the end of the period of work stoppage.

7. WARRANTY

Seller expressly warrants that the Goods and services shall be: (a) in strict conformance to the specifications, drawings, samples, or other descriptions set forth in the Purchase Order; (b) merchantable; (c) fit for the purpose intended; (d) free from defects in material and workmanship; (e) free from defects in design; (f) free from liens or encumbrances on title; (g) to the extent the Goods are, or contain hardware and/or software, free from viruses and other sources of network corruption; (h) in compliance with and will not infringe any patents, copyrights, trademarks or intellectual property rights of third parties; and (i) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. Seller also warrants that Seller shall perform its obligations in a professional, workmanlike, and timely manner, consistent with industry standards and in compliance with any scope of work or similar document agreed between the parties in writing and will comply with all of Buyer’s policies when on Buyer’s premises. All Goods are subject to final inspection and acceptance at Buyer’s plant as set forth herein and payment therefore shall not constitute acceptance. Any Goods which are found to be defective, either before or after acceptance, may be rejected and returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense for repair or replacement, or for credit at Buyer’s option. Buyer shall notify Seller of any Goods which are found to be defective, and if Buyer finds it impractical to return defective Goods for repair or replacement within a reasonable time, it may perform necessary repairs and charge the reasonable cost thereof to Seller. Any payments made on any rejected Goods shall be immediately refunded to Buyer. The term of the Seller’s warranty period will survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance, payment and/or use by Buyer of or for the Goods.

8. REMEDIES

Buyer shall have available to it all rights and remedies at law and in equity, including all remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in Ohio, notwithstanding any provision in Seller’s invoice or other form relating to this transaction which seeks to limit Seller’s liability and shall be entitled to recover any expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by it in enforcing its rights hereunder and all other costs and damages related thereto. The remedies of Buyer herein reserved shall be cumulative, and additional to any other or further remedies provided in law or equity. No waiver of a breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions or a Purchase Order shall constitute a waiver of any other breach, or of such provision. Buyer may, at its sole discretion, back charge and invoice to Seller all damages, costs or expenses Buyer incurs arising from or related to Seller’s breach of these Terms and Conditions or a Purchase Order including, without limitation, all costs to correct, repair or replace non-conforming Goods not remedied by Seller; all damages or costs associated with lost work time, lost efficiency, idle equipment, additional overhead, and escalation; all costs associated with replacing Goods that infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights with non-infringing Goods; all costs associated with removing any liens filed against the Goods or related property; all fines and penalty’s assessed that arise out of the Goods; and all damages incurred by Buyer arising from a claim that the Goods infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights.

Where payment is made for experimental, developmental or research work pursuant to a Purchase Order, Seller agrees to disclose promptly all improvements and inventions resulting from said work and to assign said improvements and inventions to Buyer and do everything necessary to enable Buyer to obtain patents or other suitable protection, including copyrights, for said inventions in any and all countries.
