NO ADDITIONAL TERMS OR DIFFERENT TERMS OR CONDITIONS SHALL BE BINDING UPON SELLER NOR CAN THE BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE LIMIT OR ALTER SELLER'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING SIGNED BY DULY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL OF THE SELLER. SELLER HEREBY OBJECTS TO ANY SUCH ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ANY PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM BUYER. Any document received from Buyer which contains terms and conditions conflicting with Seller's documents shall not become part of the contract; only those terms and conditions as specified in Seller's documents shall be binding, unless otherwise modified in writing and no implied terms and conditions shall be substituted for Seller's terms and conditions to resolve any conflict. This contract and these terms and conditions shall constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer and shall be governed by and shall be construed according to the internal laws of the State of Connecticut.

All products are sold F.O.B. Seller's location in Branford, Connecticut U.S.A. unless otherwise stated on the Seller's offer or counteroffer.

Method and route of shipment shall be at the discretion of Seller unless Buyer shall specify otherwise; any additional expenses of the method or route of shipment specified by Buyer shall be born entirely by Buyer.

3. Partial Shipments, Claims & Delays.

Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments unless expressly stipulated within the offer. All such installments shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in deliveries of any installment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries.

Claims for shortages or other errors in delivery must be made in writing to Seller within TEN (10) DAYS after receipt of shipment and failure to give such notice shall constitute unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by Buyer. Claims for loss or damage to products in transit shall be made to the carrier and not the Seller.

Seller shall not be liable for any delay due to any cause beyond Seller's reasonable control, including, without limitation, an act of God, act of the Buyer, embargo or other government act, regulation or request, fire, accident, strike, slow down, war, riot, delay in transportation, inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or manufacturing facility.

5. Taxes & Other Charges.

Any manufacturer's tax, retailer's occupation tax, sales tax, duty, custom, inspection or testing fee, or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any government authority on or measures by the transaction between Seller and Buyer shall be paid by Buyer in addition to the price quoted or invoiced.

This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed its essential purpose under any circumstances so long as Seller is willing and able to replace defective products or refund the purchase price within the time specified. SELLER'S PRICES ARE BASED ON THE POLICY LIMITING ITS LIABILITY. IF BUYER DESIRES FOR SELLER TO PROVIDE A WARRANTY GREATER THAN THAT WHICH IS STATED ABOVE, THEN THE SELLER WILL ADJUST UPWARDS THE PRICE FOR THE PRODUCTS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR ON THE FACE OF THE ORDER TO REFLECT THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSE TO BUYER WHICH SUCH A WARRANTY OBLIGATION WOULD CAUSE.
