Terms and Conditions for Sale of Products

(February 2019)

 

These terms and conditions for sale of Products (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the Products by Medallion Services, LLC (“Seller”) to the buyer named on the applicable Quotation or Order Confirmation (“Buyer”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Products covered hereby (“Contract”), the terms and conditions of said Contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.

The accompanying Quotation or Order Confirmation (together with these Terms and the Contract, if any, the “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. The Agreement prevails 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 this Agreement.

1.                    Definitions

1.1  “Purchase Order” means a written purchase order or other written offer to purchase Products submitted by Buyer to Seller, which includes a description of the Products, quantity, requested delivery date and a “ship to” address.

1.2  “Price” means the pricing stated in the Agreement or if no pricing is stated in the Agreement, the pricing stated in Seller’s Price List, including adjustments (if any) in accordance with the Agreement, exclusive of taxes, shipping and insurance.

1.3  “Price List” means Seller’s standard pricing offered for the sale of the Products, as amended from time to time by Seller in its sole discretion.

1.4  “Products” means the equipment (including any software embedded therein), parts, materials, supplies and other goods identified in the Purchase Order, Quotation or Order Confirmation.

1.5  “Specifications” means Seller’s published description of the Product form, fit, features and functions.

  1.                   Purchase Orders; Inspection

2.1  Buyer shall issue Purchase Orders or requests for Quotations to Seller via e-mail, EDI or other format agreed upon by the parties. Unless otherwise specified in the Quotation, Seller’s Quotation shall expire thirty (30) days from its date and may be modified or withdrawn by Seller before receipt of Buyer’s acceptance.  Upon Buyer’s timely acceptance of a Quotation, Seller will treat the Quotation as a Purchase Order.  Seller may accept or reject any Purchase Order, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion, unless it originated as a Quotation and was timely accepted by Buyer, in which case Seller will be deemed to have accepted the Purchase Order. Buyer may not modify or cancel any Purchase Order once accepted by Seller without Seller’s written consent.  All Seller’s Quotations and Order Confirmations shall be subject to these Terms and the parties’ written Contract, if applicable.

2.2  Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Products at the time of delivery unless Buyer notifies Seller in writing of its rejection or revocation of acceptance of the Products within seven (7) days of receipt by the Buyer and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller.  Seller, upon such notification from Buyer, shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Products with conforming Products, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Products, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Products to the location designated by Seller. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Products, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Products, ship to Buyer, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Products to the shipping address specified in the original Order. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 2.2 are Buyer’s exclusive remedies with respect to rejection or revocation of acceptance of the Products, notwithstanding any provisions of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws to the contrary.

3.                    Price; Payment

Unless otherwise stated in the Contract, Quotation or Order Confirmation, Seller may increase the Price for any Product at any time.  Buyer shall pay Seller for the Products by paying all invoiced amounts in USA dollars, without set-off for any payment due from Seller, within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. For each calendar month, or fraction thereof, that payment is not made when due, Buyer shall pay a finance charge computed at the rate of 1.5% per month on the overdue unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.  Buyer shall be responsible for and shall pay upon demand Seller’s attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any legal action filed against Buyer to enforce the Agreement or to recover any sums due and owing, including Seller’s post-judgment collection efforts.

5.1  For the ninety (90) day period following delivery of the Products (the “Warranty Period”), Seller warrants to Buyer that, at the time of shipment, the Products (i) shall meet any of Seller’s specifications or express warranties which accompany the Products or are agreed to in writing by the Parties and (ii) shall not be adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the U.S. Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “Act”) or other similar, applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which the Products are delivered; provided, however, that Seller shall not be liable for any of the foregoing caused by the handling or packaging of the Products by Buyer (the “Limited Warranty”). THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

5.4  The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the Limited Warranty if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of such Products after giving such notice; (ii) the nonconformance arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use, or maintenance of the Products; or (iii) Buyer alters, repairs, or conducts testing used to evaluate such Products without the prior written consent of Seller.

6.                    Limitation of Liability

6.1  The total liability of Seller to Buyer for all claims of any kind, other than those arising under the Limited Warranty, shall not exceed (i) the Price received by Seller for the affected Product, or (ii) if Buyer places multiple Order(s) under the Agreement, the Price of each particular Order for all claims arising from or related to that Order, or (iii) ten thousand US dollars ($10,000 USD) for all claims not related to any particular Order or Product.

6.3  All Seller liability shall end upon expiration of the applicable Warranty Period, provided that Buyer may continue to enforce a claim for which it has given notice prior to that date by commencing an action or arbitration, as applicable under this Agreement, before expiration of any statute of limitations or other legal time limitation, but in no event later than one year after expiration of such Warranty Period.

6.4  If Buyer is supplying Products to a third party, or using Products at a facility owned by a third party, Buyer shall either (i) indemnify and defend Seller from and against any and all claims by, and liability to, any such third party in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 6, or (ii) require that the third party agree, for the benefit of and enforceable by Seller, to be bound by all the limitations included in this Section 6.

Buyer shall provide Seller all information reasonably requested by Seller regarding such report or complaint, including, without limitation, the name of the complainant, the nature of the complaint and the part numbers and serial numbers affected.

Buyer shall notify Seller promptly if any Product becomes the subject of a recall, market withdrawal or correction, and the parties shall cooperate in the handling and disposition thereof.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, and employ­ees, from and against any loss, injury, death, damage, liability, claim, deficiency, action, judgment, interest, award, penalty, fine, cost, fees (including import and export customs fees), or expense (in­cluding, but not limited to, Seller’s attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively “Claims”) arising out of or in con­nection with the actions or inactions of Buyer or its employees or agents, including, but not limited to: (i) any misuse or modification of the Products by Buyer, its employees or agents; (ii) any act or omission by Buyer, its employees or agents in contravention of any safety proce­dures or instructions that Seller provides in connection with the Products; (iii) the failure to store or maintain the Products in accordance with said procedures or instructions; (iv) Buyer’s misuse of any Intellectual Property rights which accompany the Products; and (v) Buyer’s unauthorized disclosure of Seller’s Confidential Information.

12.                 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

12.1  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, USA without giving effect to any choice of law rules that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction (the “Governing Law”).  The parties hereby agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Interna­tional Sale of Goods (‘CISG’) does not apply to this Agreement, nor to any other aspect of the relationship between the parties, and application of the CISG is expressly disclaimed and waived.

12.2  Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever against the other party in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in any forum other than the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, or, if such court does not have subject matter or diversity jurisdiction, the courts of the State of New York sitting in Nassau County, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the in personam jurisdiction of the foregoing Courts and waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Seller may subcontract all or part of its duties under this Agreement, so long as Seller remains responsible for the performance thereof. The delegation or assignment by Buyer of any or all of its rights or obligations under the Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void.
