by the Supplier and all Supplier’s documentation referenced in therein shall constitute
the contract between Purchaser and Supplier (the “Contract”). Product specifications
listed in any documentation of the Supplier are subject to change without notice and
pictures shown therein may not be exact. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency
between the Terms herein and the terms and conditions contained in any purchase
order or in any other form issued by Purchaser, whether or not any such form has
been acknowledged or accepted by Supplier, the Terms herein shall prevail. No
waiver, alteration or modification of the Terms shall be binding upon Supplier unless
made in writing and signed by an authorized signing officer of the Supplier.

Invoice amount.

practical.

when their purchase order is made and prior to delivery. No C.O.D. shipments. The
Supplier shall be entitled to apply interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per
annum) to overdue Purchaser balances. Supplier may further hold Purchaser orders

responsibility. If a package is received damaged, Purchaser shall note this on the
carrier’s delivery slip and contact the carrier for instructions regarding a claim. IN THE
CASE OF SHIPPING ERRORS OR SHORTAGES, PURCHASER SHALL
CONTACT SUPPLIER WITHIN 10 (TEN) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE
DELIVERABLES. Supplier will automatically ship the balance of an Order when
available. However, if the balance owing is less than $5.00, it may automatically be
cancelled by the Supplier at its discretion. If this is not satisfactory to Purchaser,
Purchaser shall contact Supplier to re-order the cancelled Deliverables.
7. SAME DAY SHIPPING – Supplier will use best efforts to process purchase orders
for in stock items received by 3 pm EST/EDT or 2 (two) hours prior to the selected
courier cut-off time, whichever comes first, (a “Qualifying Order”) available for same
day shipment on selected couriers. If Supplier fails to ship a Qualifying Order the day
it is received, Supplier shall ship the Qualified Order the next business day.
8. CANCELLATION AND CHANGES – If Purchaser cancels a purchase order, the
Supplier shall be entitled to require the Purchaser to accept delivery of and be liable
for all Deliverables processed prior to receipt of notice of cancellation. If Purchaser
changes a purchase order, the Supplier shall be entitled to refuse the changes and to
require the Purchaser to accept delivery of and be liable for all Deliverables
processed prior to receipt of notice of change. Special orders or products specifically
modified or sourced for Purchaser may not be cancelled or changed. This includes
items procured in large quantities.
9. RETURNS – Surplus Deliverables and Deliverables ordered in error may be
returned to Supplier for credit up to 90 days from the Invoice date. Purchaser shall
contact Supplier for a return authorization. Supplier will not accept any returned
goods unless such returns are authorized in writing in advance. Return
authorizations shall be valid for 30 days. Only Deliverables that are undamaged may
be returned. Items not in their original packaging may be subject to an additional 20%
(minimum $25.00) repackaging charge. A 20% (minimum $25.00) restocking charge
may apply. Applicable repackaging and restocking charges will become immediately
due and payable by the Purchaser.
10. WARRANTIES – Supplier warrants that the Deliverables will be of merchantable
quality at the time of shipment. SUPPLIER MUST BE GIVEN WRITTEN NOTICE
IDENTIFYING THE DEFECTIVE GOODS AND SPECIFYING THE DEFECT WITHIN
NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THE GOODS BY PURCHASER.

ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE GOODS, AND IF REQUESTED BY SUPPLIER, THE
ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE GOODS MUST BE RETURNED TO SUPPLIER AT THE
PURCHASER’S OWN EXPENSE. FAILURE TO GIVE REQUIRED NOTICE WITHIN
THE TIME PROVIDED, OR FAILURE TO RETURN ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE
GOODS TO SUPPLIER FOLLOWING SUPPLIER’S REQUEST CONSTITUTES A
WAIVER OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER’S LIABILITY
HEREUNDER, AND PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES HEREUNDER,
EITHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR PURSUANT TO STATUTE, FOR
BREACH OF WARRANTY OR FOR NEGLIGENCE, ARE EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO

THE SUPPLIER, THE REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DEFECTIVE
GOODS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS STANDARD WARRANTY

CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, WHETHER ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS CONTRACT OR FROM ANY
ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS WHICH
MAY GIVE RISE TO ANY LIABILITY (WHETHER IN TORT, INCLUDING FOR

LIABILITY). IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SUPPLIER
EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE SET OUT ON THE INVOICE.

efforts to make deliveries as expeditiously as possible taking such cause for delay
into account.

course of business, or if any proceeding under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws is
brought by or against Purchaser, or a receiver for Purchaser is appointed or applied
for, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors is made by Purchaser, or it has not,
to the satisfaction of Supplier, complied with any of the provisions herein, Supplier

Contract. The parties hereby agree that the International Sale of Goods Act (Ontario)
will not apply to Deliverables or this purchase. Failure or delay by either party in

shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions hereof. This
Contract shall be governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The
parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts situated in the province of
Ontario.
