Customer agrees that (i) Customer's written acceptance of these Terms (including Customer's issuance of a purchase order),(ii) Customer's acceptance of any goods or services from Seller, or (iii) Customer's payment for any goods or services from Seller constitutes Customer's acceptance of these Terms as the sole terms and conditions governing the sale by the Seller to Customer. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that all terms and conditions proposed by Customer which are different from or in addition to these Terms are unacceptable to Seller, are hereby expressly rejected by Seller, and shall not become a part of the contract between Customer and Seller. No variation of these Terms shall be effective unless expressly agreed to by the Seller's President or his/her designated representative in writing.
2. Quotations. All quotations are for information only and are not an offer by the Seller. An order by a Customer shall not constitute a contract between it and the Seller unless it has been accepted by the Seller in writing, which acceptance shall be deemed to occur at Seller's offices in Richmond, Indiana.
3. Prices. (a) Published prices are not unconditional offers to sell, and are subject to change without notice. (b) Seller's stated prices are F.O.B. shipping point and, unless otherwise specified, do not include the cost of delivery, documentation, the cost of special packaging, unloading, uncrating, installation and/or final on-site adjustment. Such costs may be prepaid and billed as a separate invoice item.

Customer shall be liable for all such taxes, whether or not invoiced by Seller. If an exemption certificate provided by Customer is determined to be invalid, or if Customer fails to timely furnish a valid exemption certificate, notarized affidavit, or other necessary documentation, any resulting sales, use, import, export, or similar excise tax may be billed to Customer. (d) Prices quoted by Seller are subject to change thirty (30) calendar days after quotation. Seller reserves the right to withdraw quoted prices by written notice.

If Seller for any reason in its sole discretion feels insecure about the Customer's willingness or ability to perform, Seller shall have the unconditional right to require payment in full in advance of delivery.
5. Late Delivery at Customer's Request. In the event Customer postpones delivery, requests that Seller suspend manufacture, fails to give Seller sufficient information to process Customer's order, or otherwise fails to take delivery, the Seller shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, to treat the contract at an end and to resell the Equipment, or to submit an invoice for the Equipment in which event payment in full shall immediately become due. In either case the Seller shall charge Customer for the handling and storage of the Equipment from the date of the invoice to the date of delivery to the Customer or of disposal elsewhere.

(a) Except where specifically agreed to the contrary in writing by Seller, delivery to Customer shall be F.O.B. shipping point and risk of loss shall pass to Customer upon delivery to the carrier. (b) Delivery dates are estimates only, and time is not of the essence. Although Seller shall endeavor as far as practicable to deliver the Equipment adhering to the delivery schedule, Seller may in its sole discretion cancel or modify all delivery dates and Seller shall not be liable to Customer for any loss or damage whatsoever, including loss of profit or any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or other damages, caused by such cancellation, modification, late delivery or failure to deliver.
7. Solvency; Security. (a) Customer represents that Customer is financially solvent. (b) To secure any unpaid portion of the purchase price, or any other indebtedness from Customer to Seller, Customer hereby assigns to Seller and grants Seller a security interest in the Equipment.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties; Customer's Exclusive Remedy. THE WARRANTIES HEREIN ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN PARTICULAR, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER FOR DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR OTHER ECONOMIC INJURY DUE TO ANY DEFECT IN THE EQUIPMENT, ANY USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY OTHER BREACH BY SELLER OF THIS CONTRACT. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER IN TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE) FOR ANY PRODUCT LIABILITY CONCERNING THE EQUIPMENT, OR FOR THE OMISSION OF ANY WARNING THEREFROM. THE FOLLOWING REMEDY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF CUSTOMER UNDER THIS CONTRACT AND IS EXPRESSLY MADE IN SUBSTITUTION OF ANY AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES.
The Seller warrants that the Equipment will be free of defects in workmanship and material (if properly installed, operated and maintained) for a period of one year or 2080 hours of use, whichever is sooner, from date of shipment to Customer, subject to the limitations hereunder set forth. If within the one year warranty period, the Seller receives from the Customer written notice of any alleged defects in the Equipment and if the Equipment is not found to be in conformity with this warranty (the Customer having provided the Seller a reasonable opportunity to perform any appropriate tests thereon) Seller will, at its option, either repair the Equipment or supply a replacement therefore. The Seller under either option shall have the right to require Customer to deliver the Equipment to Seller's designated service center and the Customer shall pay all charges for in-bound and out-bound transportation and for services of any kind, diagnostic or otherwise, excepting only the direct and actual costs of repairing or replacing the Equipment. If after reasonable effort the Seller cannot correct said deficiencies, the Seller will make an equitable price adjustment based on actual performance, provided that such adjustment shall under no circumstances exceed the purchase price. The Seller further warrants that the parts, and components supplied by the Seller and forming a part of the Equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year or 2080 hours of use, whichever is sooner, from date of shipment to the Customer. The Seller's liability shall be solely limited to the supplying of replacement parts and materials.

Use of the Equipment in improper or non-recommended applications (including operation above rated load capacity), or use of parts or components not meeting the Seller's specifications or quality standards (e.g., non-Osborn Load Runners® parts or components) renders all warranties null and void.
F. The foregoing warranties do not apply to any product or part thereof which has a life, under normal usage, shorter than the indicated warranty period such as, but not limited to, belts and bearings.
G. All production figures, throughput rates, production rates, capacity figures and cost figures contained in Seller's proposals, printed literature, advertising, drawings and/or quotes are based on tests Seller believes are reliable and on Seller's understanding of the Customer's project and are not warranted or otherwise guaranteed.
H. If the Seller provides Customer with assistance or advice concerning the Equipment or any parts/service supplied hereunder or any system or equipment in which any such part/service may be installed and which is not required pursuant hereto, the furnishing of such assistance or advice shall not subject Company to any liability, whether based in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.

(b) If litigation or other legal action is commenced by Seller to enforce its rights under these Terms, Seller shall have the right to collect all of the expenses of such litigation or other action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, from Customer. (c) In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall have all the rights and remedies given to sellers by applicable law. Seller's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. Seller shall not lose any right because it has not exercised it in the past.
15. No Waiver. Forbearance or indulgence by the Seller shown or granted to the Customer whether in respect of these Terms or otherwise shall not affect or prejudice the rights of the Seller against the Customer or be taken as a waiver of any of these Terms.
