General Terms and Conditions of Sale of Goods

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all sales of goods (“Products”) by MSI TEC (“Seller”), a Colorado corporation with its principal place of business at 12929 E. Peakview Ave, Centennial, CO 80111. Any purchase order (“Order”) issued by Buyer shall be subject exclusively to these Terms. Seller expressly rejects any conflicting or additional terms proposed by Buyer, whether it appears on Buyer’s purchase order or otherwise. Buyer’s acceptance, silence, or use of Products constitutes agreement to these Terms. No modification shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Seller.

  1. Sales Prices and Taxes. Prices listed on the Sales Order do not include any city, state, or federal excise taxes and when applicable, those taxes will be added to the invoice as a separate charge to be paid by Buyer. If an exemption from a tax is claimed, supporting documents must be furnished by Buyer prior to delivery. Any sales quotations provided by Seller to Buyer shall automatically expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date issued. All amounts referred to in this Sales Order are in United State dollars and are payable in United States dollars, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

  2. Delivery. All goods shall be shipped at Buyer’s expense and all shipments are F.O.B. Origin. All risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at time of shipment regardless of the method of shipment that may be elected by Buyer. Buyer shall provide accurate shipping instructions; additional costs due to Buyer’s routing preferences shall be borne by Buyer. All scheduled delivery dates are estimates based on a normal workload and all deliveries are subject to change without liability to the Seller. Unless expressly specified to the contrary, all shipping dates are based upon current availability of materials, present production schedules and prompt receipt of all necessary information.

  3. Terms of Payment. Payment terms are contingent upon Customer’s creditworthiness being reviewed and approved in writing by an authorized representative of Seller. Written notice of credit approval must be provided by Seller prior to the commencement of 30-day payment terms. Seller may charge interest, at its discretion, on any invoice which remains unpaid after it becomes due until payment is received in full at a rate of 15% per annum.

  4. Freight. Quotations specifically including freight or other transportation charges are only estimates based on routing at the Sellers’s option and current rates. The Seller will favor Buyer’s routing whenever same does not cause an increase in freight or other transportation charges, or whenever such increase is guaranteed by the Buyer. Charges for freight or other transportation will be modified to reflect actual rates at the time of shipment, including hauling permits and transportation taxes.

  5. Shortage and returns. Claims for shortages must be filed within three (3) days of receipt of shipment. Product cannot be returned without prior written consent from the Seller. A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number is required for all returns as well as the material being in the same state as it was delivered. Once issued, an RMA expires in 30 days if the product is not received by Seller. The RMA number must be clearly visible on return shipments and referenced by accompanying documentation. Product received by Seller without an RMA number will be returned to the sender. No credits will be issued until product has been received and evaluated. All return shipments are to be prepaid on freight at Buyer’s expense, though Seller may reimburse the Buyer if defective material is found to be the Seller’s responsibility.

  6. Changes or Cancellations. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Seller, all Products are sold on a Non-Cancellable (NC), Non-Returnable (NR), and Non-Stock (NS) basis. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that such items cannot be canceled, returned, or exchanged under normal circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller provides prior written authorization for an exception, Buyer may submit a request to cancel or modify a Purchase Order. Upon receipt of such request, Seller shall advise Buyer of any applicable cancellation charges, which may include, without limitation, costs for labor hours, work in progress, completed products, engineering and design services, inspection, materials, and any other expenses incurred. Any exceptions granted by Seller shall be subject to applicable restocking fees, handling charges, and compliance with Seller’s return procedures. Seller reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any order if Buyer becomes bankrupt or insolvent. Clerical or typographical errors are subject to correction.

  7. Damages. In no event shall the Seller be liable for any special or consequential loss or damages, of anticipated profits, loss resulting from delays, or loss of use of equipment or any installation into which its product may be installed.

  8. Nonconforming Goods. Buyer shall inspect all goods delivered by Seller, and notify Seller, in writing, within ten (10) days describing the nature of any nonconformity. Seller shall have the right and option to repair or replace any nonconforming goods. The failure of Buyer to notify Seller in writing that the goods are nonconforming within ten (10) days of delivery, shall constitute acceptance of the goods and Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the total Sales Order price.

  9. Compliance Requests. Because of MSI’s diverse vendor and customer base, and constantly changing requirements, any special product requirements for compliance requests such as RoHS, Reach, Conflict Minerals, PFAS, TSCA, Prop 65, CBAM, Environmental, etc. need to be stated on each individual line of a purchase order as blanket coverage request cannot be guaranteed.

  10. Warranties. Standard products supplied by a third-party manufacturer shall be subject only to the warranties expressly offered by that manufacturer. Any products supplied which are custom or modified by Seller shall be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery of the goods to Buyer. This warranty is voided for products which are modified, improperly used, or maintained by the Buyer. Seller, at its option in its sole discretion and at the Buyer’s expense, may facilitate repair or replacement of any faulty products, components or software of another manufacturers goods, and/or facilitate communications to allow the Buyer to take advantage of the warranty of the manufacturer of any faulty products, components or software incorporated into goods. Seller disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, oral or written, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

  11. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for its failure to perform due to any occurrence beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, floods, war, terror, sabotage, accidents, labor disputes or shortages, governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, allocations and price restrictions, inability to obtain material, equipment or transportation, or any other similar occurrence; provided, however, Buyer’s payment for Products produced and shipped shall not be suspended by any event of force majeure. The party whose performance is prevented by any such occurrence shall promptly give written notice to the other party of the cessation of performance. The party affected by such occurrence shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effects of the force majeure event.

  12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER SELLER OR BUYER BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFIT, USE OF DATA OR OTHER COMMERCIAL LOSS WHETHER OR NOT SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY TO ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), IN LAW OR EQUITY, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY INCLUDING CLAIMS CONCERNING PATENT, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT.
