Standard Terms of Sales
- Applicability. These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) shall govern the sale of the goods (the “Goods”) by KM ACT Corporation(“Seller”) to the Buyer set forth on the accompanying purchase order (“Purchase Order”), The Purchase Order and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) shall constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the sale, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter of the sale. Fulfillment of the Purchase Order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
- Delivery Date; Location. Seller shall deliver the Goods in the quantities of and within reasonable time and date, subject to availability of Finished Goods, after receipt of Buyer’s Purchase Order (the “Delivery Date”). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall deliver the Goods to the address Buyer indicates on the Order Confirmation (the “Delivery Location”) using Seller’s standard methods of packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall bear all costs incurred in connection with the delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Location (including, without limitation, all packaging costs, transportation and freight costs, shipping fees, insurance costs, applicable taxes, and customs duties). Seller 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. If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Seller’s notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Location, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Location on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (a) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (b) Seller, 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).
- Title and Risk of Loss. Risk of loss and title to all Goods ordered under the Purchase Order passes to the Buyer upon Seller’s tender of such Goods to the commercial carrier. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a security interest in all Goods purchased pursuant to the Purchase Order (including Goods, Non-Conforming Goods, and excess Goods) and the proceeds therefrom to secure Buyer’s payment obligations under this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the security interest granted under this Article 3 is a purchase money security interest under Texas law. Seller may file a financing statement for such security interest and Buyer shall execute any such statements or other documentation necessary to perfect Seller’s security interest in the Goods.
- Quantity. If Seller delivers to Buyer a number of Goods of up to 15% more or less than the quantity set forth in the Purchase Order, Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Goods or any portion of them by reason of the surplus or shortfall and shall pay for such Goods the price set forth in the Purchase Order adjusted pro rata.
- Inspection and Rejection of Non-Conforming Goods. Buyer shall inspect the Goods within six days following the Delivery Date. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Non-Conforming Goods (as herein defined) within 30 days of gaining knowledge of such Non-Conforming Goods, but in no event, later than six months after the date of shipment from Seller, and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Seller to substantiate Buyer’s objection(s). “Non-Conforming Goods” means: (a) the Goods shipped are different than identified in the Purchase Order; or (b) product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. If Buyer notifies Seller of any Non-Conforming Goods during the Inspection Period, Seller shall in its sole discretion: (i) replace such Non-Conforming Goods with conforming Goods; or (ii) credit or refund the price for such Non-Conforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith, less a 25% restocking fee. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Non-Conforming Goods (in its original condition and in full case quantities) back to Seller’s applicable facility. If Seller exercises its option to replace Non-Conforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Non-Conforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss (including, without limitation, all packaging costs, transportation and freight costs, shipping fees, insurance costs, applicable taxes and custom duties), the replaced Goods to the Delivery Location. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Article 6 and Seller’s Return Policy are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Non-Conforming Goods
- Price. Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller for the prices set forth on the Purchase Order. If the prices set forth on the Purchase Order prior to delivery of the Goods to a carrier for shipment to Buyer increase, then the Terms shall be construed as if the increased prices were originally inserted herein, and Buyer shall be billed by Seller on the basis of such increased price. 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. Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs, and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Seller's income, revenues, gross receipts, personal or real or personal property or other assets.
7.Payment. Buyer shall remit payment to Seller for all amounts due within 30 days from the date of Seller’s invoice. All payments shall be made by wire transfer and in U.S. dollars.

Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods purchased by Buyer if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for 10 days following written notice thereof.
