Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery of Dürkopp Adler America, Inc. 

1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions:
These Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery (the “Agreement“) shall exclusively govern all sales and deliveries by Dürkopp Adler America, Inc. (“Seller”) to its customers (“Buyer”). Buyer accepts the terms and conditions of the Agreement at the time of receipt of the Seller’s confirmation and/or the acceptance of the ordered goods or services. Terms and conditions, including, without limitation, those terms and conditions contained in Buyer’s purchase order(s) or elsewhere which are different from, in addition to, conflict with, or that vary the terms hereof are hereby objected to, rejected and shall not be binding on Seller nor will they have any application to any purchase between Buyer and Seller unless specifically accepted in writing by Seller. Such deviating terms and conditions do not become part of the contract, either by acceptance of the order or implicitly by another act. Neither the fact that the Seller does not expressly object to Buyer’s terms and conditions, nor the Seller’s acceptance of payment for goods or services shall be construed as an acknowledgment of Buyer's terms and conditions.

2. Price and Payment Terms:
(a) All prices set forth herein are EXW (INCOTERMS 2000) from a location designated by the Seller and are payable without setoff or deduction upon invoicing. All accounts not paid within thirty (30) days of invoice date will bear interest at the monthly rate of 1.5 % (18 % per annum) of the amount due hereunder. Buyer shall further be liable to Seller for the costs of collection plus reasonable attorney’s fees.
(b) Prices on the goods are exclusive of all local, state, and federal excise taxes, including, without limitation, taxes on manufacture, sales, receipts, gross income, occupation, use and similar taxes. Whenever applicable, any tax or taxes will be added to the invoice as a separate charge to be paid by the Buyer.
(c) In addition to the purchase price for the goods, Buyer shall pay and be liable for all expenses incurred by Seller for insurance, freight, cartage, warehousing, and all other charges in connection with loading and shipping the goods to Buyer.
(d) Buyer shall pay all amounts payable to Seller hereunder when due, time being of the essence.
(e) Payment for the goods shall, if Seller so requires, be made in full prior to delivery, and Seller shall be entitled to withhold delivery until such payment has been made and any check or other negotiable instrument given in payment has cleared. Seller shall have the additional right at any time to limit or cancel any credit extended or to be extended hereunder. Upon failure by Buyer to make payment to Seller within ten (10) days after notice from Seller limiting or cancelling any credit extended or requiring Buyer to make payment before delivery, Seller shall have the option to cancel this and other contracts between Seller and Buyer. In such event, in addition to its other remedies, Seller may resell all or any part of the goods undelivered under the contract without notice at public or private sale and Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the difference between the resale price and the price at which Buyer agreed to buy the goods, together with incidental damages.

3. Title to and Reservation of Security Interest in the Goods:
(a) Until Buyer has completed payment for the goods, title to and ownership of said goods shall remain with Seller and its assigns, and Seller hereby reserves a purchase money security interest in the goods. Until payment is received, the goods shall at all times be located at the place where delivery is made as indicated on the confirmation of order unless written approval is obtained from Seller for removal to some other place. Said goods shall not become a part of the realty.
(b) If Buyer defaults in making payment in full pursuant to the invoice, fails to comply with or defaults in any of the material provisions of this Agreement, files any petition or answer seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent or seeking for itself any liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment protection, relief or composition of Buyer or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the entry of an order for relief or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Buyer, or whenever Seller or its assigns deem themselves insecure, the full amount of the purchase price remaining unpaid shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Seller or its assigns, and Buyer agrees to return said goods on demand to Seller, and Seller or its assigns may, without notice or demand and without any legal process, enter onto any premises where the goods are located to take immediate possession thereof and to make any such disposition as Seller or its assigns deems desirable. All payments made shall be retained as liquidated damages for the use of the goods and not as a penalty. The goods may be sold with or without notice at public or private sale at which Seller or its assigns may bid, and the proceeds thereof less expenses shall be credited to the amount unpaid. Buyer agrees to pay the balance forthwith as liquidated damages for the breach of this contract.
(c) Until payment for the goods has been completed, Buyer may not sell, transfer, convey, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise use the goods as security for any borrowing or for any other purpose.

4. Insurance:
Buyer shall specifically insure the goods against "all risks", subject to normal exclusions, from the time that goods are delivered to a carrier or shipper for delivery, during transit, during unloading, and continuously thereafter until all amounts payable by Buyer to Seller are paid in full for no less than the total amount owing to Seller, with loss first payable to Seller.

Delay or Nonperformance: Seller shall not be liable for delay in shipment for any cause beyond its reasonable control, nor shall such delay entitle Buyer to cancel any order or refuse to accept delivery.

Buyer expressly waives any right to jury trial. Any and all costs and fees, including attorneys' fees, shall be reimbursed to the prevailing party by the other party upon demand by the prevailing party.
