1. Orders.
   1. You agree that your order is an offer to buy, under these Terms, all Goods and Services listed in your order.  All orders must be accepted by us, or we will not be obligated to sell the Goods or Services to you.  We may choose not to accept any orders in our sole discretion.
   2. Should you cancel an order without our written consent, we may recover from you a cancellation charge of not less than twenty percent (20.0%) of the purchase price, provided, however, that no order may be cancelled if (i) the Goods ordered are customized, or (ii) of the Goods are opened or unpackaged, installed, or have been connected to power subjected to a load.
2. Price and Payment Terms. 
   1. All prices posted are subject to change without notice.  The price charged for any Goods will be the price shown in the order confirmation provided to you at the time your order is accepted.  Unless expressly stated, prices do not include taxes or charges for shipping and handling.  All such taxes and charges will be added to your order total and must be prepaid.  Any amounts that are not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of: (i) 1.5% per month, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.
   2. Terms of payment are within our sole discretion, and, unless agreed to in writing, the total payment due must be received by us at the time the order is accepted, provided, however, that Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the following payment terms: 
      1. Goods from manufacturer stock: Net thirty (30) days from the date of shipment with approved credit application.  New customers or international shipments are required to be paid in full at the time of shipment.

   3. Notwithstanding Sections 2.a and b in connection with Services being performed pursuant to a SOW, Customer will pay for the Services in the amounts and in accordance with any payment schedule set forth in the applicable SOW.  If no payment schedule is provided, Customer will pay for the Services as invoiced by Seller or its affiliate.  Except as otherwise specified on an applicable SOW, Customer will reimburse Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of the Services, including, but not limited to, travel and living expenses.
   4. In the event of a payment default, Customer will be responsible for all of Seller’s costs of collection, including, without limitation, attorney fees and costs.  In addition, Seller reserves the right to suspend deliveries of Goods or provision of Services until payment is received.  Customer hereby grants to Seller a security interest in the Goods to secure payment in full.  Customer authorizes Seller to file a UCC-1 financing statement reflecting such security interest. 
3. Shipment; Title; Risk of Loss. 
   1.  The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Customer’s order, subject to availability of finished Goods.  Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit.  Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Customer.
   2. Title to Goods and risk of loss or damage during shipment pass from Seller to Customer upon delivery to the carrier (F.O.B. Origin, freight collect).
   3. Any facility unable to receive a standard long truck freight delivery should notify Seller for alternative options.  Unloading and placement are the responsibility of the installing contractor or Customer. 
4.  Services. 
   1. Customers may order services (collectively, "Service(s)") from or through Seller or its affiliates.  Services may also be provided by third-party original equipment manufacturers, licensors, vendors, or other service providers (“Third-Party”), including, without limitation, startup, commissioning, and warranty services ("Third Party Services").  In the case of Third Party Services, Customer shall consider the Third-Party to be the contracting party and the Third-Party shall be the party responsible for providing the services to the Customer, Customer will look solely to the Third-Party for any loss, claims or damages arising from or related to the provision of such Third-Party Services; and Customer hereby releases Seller and its affiliates from any and all claims arising from or relating to the purchase or provision of any Third Party Services.
   2. Startup services are Third-Party Services and require two (2) weeks lead-time.  Installation of the Goods must be complete before startup personnel arrives to site.  Any startup events requiring rescheduling due to incomplete installation or site conditions prohibiting startup on prescheduled date will be subject to an additional startup fee in Seller’s discretion.
   3. Where Services are ordered from Seller in a SOW, each SOW hereby incorporates these Terms and constitutes a separate agreement with respect to the Services performed.  In the event of an addition to or a conflict between any term or condition of the SOW and these Terms, these Terms will control, except as expressly amended in the applicable SOW by specific reference to this Agreement.  Each such amendment will be applicable only with respect to such SOW and not to future SOW.  Changes to the scope of the Services described in a SOW will be made only in a writing executed by authorized representatives of both parties.
   4. With respect to the Services (whether provided by Seller or a Third-Party), Customer shall (i) cooperate in all matters relating to the Services and provide access to its employees, facilities, and premises as may reasonably be requested for the purposes of performing the Services; (ii) respond promptly to any request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for the performance of the Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (or the applicable SOW); (iii) provide any documentation or information as may be requested to carry out the Services in a timely manner, and ensure that such documentation and information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start.
   5. Customer shall maintain adequate insurance coverage to protect Seller or Third-Party, as applicable, and Customer's premises, and Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller, Third-Party and their respective agents and employees harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of any death, injury or property damage occurring in connection with the performance of the Services, other than solely as a result of Seller's or Third-Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

   3. Customer acknowledges that goods manufactured by a third party ("Third-Party Goods") may constitute, contain, be contained in, incorporated into, attached to or packaged together with, the Goods.  THIRD PARTY GOODS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY IN SECTION 6(a).  SELLER RESELLS AND PASSES THROUGH THE THIRD-PARTY GOODS ON AN “AS-IS, WHEN AVAILABLE” BASIS.  EACH OF THE THIRD-PARTY GOODS MAY BE SUBJECT TO WARRANTY, END-USER LICENSE, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY, OR OTHER TERMS AVAILABLE FROM THE APPLICABLE THIRD-PARTY.  SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO SUCH THIRD-PARTY GOODS, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESSED, OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.  IN ADDITION, COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ANY THIRD-PARTY GOODS, INCLUDING HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, WILL BE FREE FROM ERRORS, DEFECTS OR INFRINGEMENT.  CUSTOMER FURTHER AGREES TO REVIEW AND COMPLY WITH THIRD-PARTY DISCLAIMERS AND RESTRICTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF THE GOODS IN HIGH-RISK ENVIRONMENTS.

7. Limitation of Liability.
   1. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR LOSS OF DATA OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
   2. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO SELLER FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES SOLD HEREUNDER OR $50,000, WHICHEVER IS LESS.

10. Dispute Resolution. 
    1. Equitable Relief. Either Party may seek equitable remedies, including specific performance and injunctive relief, for a breach of the other Party’s obligations under this Agreement.  The Parties further agree that violation by Customer of the provisions contained in Section 8 would cause irreparable harm to the Seller not adequately compensable by monetary damages.  Thus, in addition to other relief, the Parties agree that temporary and permanent injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy to prevent any actual or threatened violation of such provisions or to enforce such provisions according to their terms.  The prevailing party in an action for injunctive relief under this Section shall be entitled to recover its costs of enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
