1. ACCEPTANCE

The parties shall be bound by this order, and all its terms and conditions when Seller executes and returns the acknowledgment copy of this order or delivers or furnishes to IMSAR any of the goods and/or services ordered. No contract shall exist except as herein above provided.

2. DELIVERY

The time of delivery stated is the essence of this contract. The date specified for delivery is the required delivery date at IMSAR’s plant, unless otherwise specifically noted in the Purchase Order. IMSAR reserves the right to refuse any goods or services and to cancel all or any part hereof if Seller fails to deliver all or any part of any goods or perform all or any part of any services in accordance with the terms specified herein. If Seller’s deliveries will not meet agreed schedules, IMSAR may require Seller to ship via a more rapid route or carrier in order to expedite such delivery and any difference in cost caused by such change shall be paid by Seller provided, nevertheless, that such right shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of IMSAR. Acceptance of any part of this order shall not bind IMSAR to accept future shipments or performance of services, nor deprive it of the right to return goods already accepted and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of IMSAR’s right to cancel or return all or any part of the goods because of failure to conform to order or by reason of defects, latent or patent, or other breach of warranty, or to make any claim for damages, including manufacturing cost or loss of profits, injury to reputation or other special, consequential and incidental damages incurred by IMSAR. Such rights shall be in addition to any other remedies provided hereunder or provided by law or otherwise. Delivery shall not be deemed to be complete until goods have been actually received and accepted by IMSAR, notwithstanding delivery to any carrier or until any services have been performed, received and accepted.

3. CHANGES

IMSAR at any time shall have the right to make changes to this Purchase Order by written notice to the Seller, and Seller agrees to comply with such changes. If such changes cause a material increase or decrease in Seller’s costs or time or performance of this Purchase Order, Seller shall notify IMSAR immediately and negotiate an adjustment.

4. NEW MATERIAL

All goods delivered hereunder shall consist of new materials, unless otherwise stated on the Purchase Order.

5. PACKING AND SHIPPING

All charges for packing, crating and transportation are included in the price for the goods set forth herein and will be paid by Seller except as otherwise specifically stated on the Purchase Order. A Packing List shall accompany each box or package shipment, showing the Purchase Order number as well as the item number and a description of the goods. In the event that no such Packing List accompanies any shipment, the count or weight or other measure of IMSAR shall be final and conclusive. IMSAR shall not be obligated to accept any shipments in excess of the ordered quantity and any excess or advance shipments may be returned to Seller at Seller’s expense.
