6.     Delivery; Shipping. 

a.     Time is of the essence of these Terms.

b.     Seller will deliver the Products within a reasonable time after receiving Buyer’s Sales Confirmation, subject to their availability. The delivery date provided by Seller for the Products is only an estimate and is based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer. If Buyer causes Seller to delay shipment or completion of the Products, Seller will be entitled to any and all extra costs and expenses resulting from the delay. Seller will not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit, and failure to deliver within the time estimated will not be a material breach of contract on Seller’s part.

c.     The Parties must mutually agree in writing to change the location(s) at which the Products are required to be delivered.

d.     Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Seller will deliver the Products to Buyer within the domestic United States, EXW (Incoterms® 2020) at Seller’s location noted in the Sales Confirmation (the “Delivery Location”).  In the event shipping to Buyer’s destination is agreed upon, Seller will use Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping same. Buyer will take delivery of the Products within one (1) day of Seller’s notice that the Products have been made available for pickup or delivered to the Delivery Location. If Buyer fails to take delivery of the Products within this one (1) day period, Buyer will pay Seller for the Products and all storage expenses incurred by Seller, unless otherwise later agreed to in writing between the Parties. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Products to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer will pay for the units shipped whether the shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer's Sales Confirmation. Buyer is responsible for obtaining any import licenses and other consents required for a Product shipment at its own expense, and, will provide the licenses and consents to the Seller before shipment.

e.     The quantity of any installment of the Products, as recorded by Seller on the dispatch from Seller’s place of business, is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer upon delivery, unless Buyer provides conclusive evidence to the contrary. Seller will not be liable for any non-delivery of the Products to the Delivery Location, unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within five (5) calendar days following the date that Buyer would, in the ordinary course of business, have received the Products. Seller’s liability for any non-delivery of the Products will be limited to replacing the Products within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice for the Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

7.     Title; Risk of Loss.

a.     Risk of loss or damage passes to Buyer upon delivery to the carrier. If Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Products on the date set forth in Seller’s notice that Seller has delivered the Products to the Delivery Location, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Products to the Delivery Location on the date because Buyer has failed to provide appropriate instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations, then: (i) risk of loss to the Products will pass to Buyer; (ii) the Products will be deemed to have been delivered to Buyer; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Products until Buyer takes possession of them, at which time Buyer will be liable for all costs and expenses resulting from the failure (including but not limited to the cost of storage and insurance).

b.     Title passes to Buyer upon Buyer’s payment in full for the Products.

8.     Inspection; Rejection of Products.

The Products will be deemed accepted at the end of the Inspection Period unless Buyer notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Products and furnishes Seller with written evidence, photo and/or video evidence (date and time stamped within the Inspection Period) or other documentation reasonably required by Seller to demonstrate the existence of Nonconforming Products. 

b.     If Buyer timely and properly notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Products, then Seller will, in its sole discretion, (i) replace the Nonconforming Products with conforming Products or (ii) credit or refund the purchase price for the Nonconforming Products, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer, unless otherwise later agreed to in writing between the Parties. At Seller’s request, Buyer will dispose of the Nonconforming Products or return the Nonconforming Products to Seller at Seller’s expense. Upon receipt of the Nonconforming Products, Seller will promptly refund the monies owed or ship the replacement Products to the Delivery Location at Seller’s expense, with Seller retaining the risk of loss until delivery.

c.     Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 8 are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products, and except as set forth in this Section 8, Buyer has no right to return the Products to Seller without Seller’s written authorization.
