Onset Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale
DOMESTIC ORDERS -
APPLICATION
These terms and conditions govern the sale of goods by Onset Computer Corporation (the “Seller,” hereinafter referred to as “Onset”) and the Purchaser. For certain products, Onset is acting as a distributor of goods manufactured by a third-party manufacturer. Purchaser will be deemed to have assented to these terms and conditions upon Purchaser’s placement of order. Notwithstanding the above, failure of Onset to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other form or document from Purchaser shall not be construed as a waiver of these terms and conditions nor an acceptance of any such provision.
PURCHASER’S USE ONLY/NO RESALE
The purchase of goods only conveys to Purchaser the non-transferable right for only Purchaser to use the quantity of goods purchased in compliance with the applicable intended use statement, limited use statement or limited label license, if any, in Onset catalogues or on the label or other documentation accompanying the goods (all such statements or licenses being incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in their entirety). Purchaser has no right to resell the goods, or any portion of them to a third party outside Purchaser’s corporate organization, and any such purchase by a reseller for the purpose of resale is strictly prohibited unless Onset first accepts and approves a purchase order and acknowledges in writing that the goods may be resold by Purchaser and the terms of such resale.
PRICE OF GOODS/TAXES
Prices quoted for the goods or as posted on the Onset website or otherwise presented are subject to change without notice. Acceptance of any order sent to Onset by the Purchaser is entirely at the discretion of Onset. All prices are quoted for delivery to Purchaser when goods are loaded on the carrier at Onset’s premises in Bourne, MA USA exclusive of shipping, insurance and installation charges, all of which are Purchaser’s sole responsibility. All prices are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, value added, withholding and other taxes, all customs, duties, documentation charges, and freights forwarder charges and charge of any nature now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority upon the sale of the goods. Any such charges will be added to the product invoice or subsequently invoiced to the Purchaser. In the event Onset is required to pay any such tax, duty or charge, Purchaser will promptly reimburse Onset.
PAYMENT TERMS
Shipments and deliveries shall be subject to approval of Onset Credit Department. Onset reserves the right, prior to making any shipment, to require from the Purchaser satisfactory security for the performance of the Purchaser's obligations. If the Purchaser fails to furnish satisfactory security or information on which to base credit, and/or his account is in arrears, Onset may defer shipment or may opt to cancel the shipment of products. Terms of payment, if any, are effective from the date of invoice.
All payments shall be made in immediately available U.S. Dollars net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice for qualified accounts, without set-off, deduction or withholding of any kind, unless otherwise stated by Onset in writing and may be paid by check (drawn on a U.S. bank), wire transfer or major credit card. All open account invoicing must be pre-approved. Any amounts not paid when due will accrue interest at the rate of 1 1/2% per month, or the maximum amount allowed by law, if lower. In the event that any payment is more than thirty (30) days late, Onset shall have the right to suspend doing business with the Purchaser until all past due balances are made current. The Purchaser shall pay for all costs (including reasonable fees) incurred by Onset in connection with the collection of late payments. Each accepted purchase order is a separate, independent transaction, and the Purchaser has no right of set-off against other purchase orders or other transactions with Onset. The Purchaser hereby grants Onset a security interest in the goods in the amount of the unpaid balance of the purchase price until paid in full. Onset may file a financing statement for such security interest and the Purchaser shall sign any such statements or other documentation necessary to perfect Onset’s security interest.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Purchaser shall pay for any and all unrecoverable costs resulting from the cancellation of any order. If the Purchaser cancels a portion of an order, Onset reserves the right to back bill the Purchaser to account for any differences in quantity discounts.
SHIPMENT AND PACKAGING
Delivery dates are provided based on Onset's knowledge of the conditions existing at time of sale. Onset will do its best to ship within its quoted delivery estimate, but failure to make shipment as scheduled does not constitute a cause for cancellation, does not constitute a breach of contract and/or does not entitle the Purchaser to damages of any kind. The delivery of this order is contingent on the ability of Onset to obtain supplies and raw materials or finished products from a third-party manufacturer. Goods damaged in transit should be noted on the freight bill by the delivering carrier. All claims for goods damaged in transit shall be made against the delivering carrier by the Purchaser.
All prices for goods exclude costs of shipping and handling and insurance, in accordance with delivery terms designated by Onset. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, such costs will be paid by the Purchaser and will appear as a separate item on the Onset invoice. Onset shall ship in accordance with Onset standard practices. The Purchaser may specify different shipping instructions, subject to agreement by Onset. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Onset, all products shall be packaged, if appropriate, for shipment and storage in accordance with standard commercial practices.

Onset reserves the right to make delivery in partial shipments (“Installments”). Any goods delivered in Installments may be invoiced individually and is payable subject to the “Payment Terms” section of these terms and conditions.

Title to the goods and the risk of loss of or damage to the goods ordered by Purchaser will pass to the Purchaser at time of Onset delivery of goods to the carrier.

RETURN OF GOODS
Onset will accept return of unused and unmodified standard goods within 30 days of invoice date only with prior authorization by Onset.

These terms and conditions supersede all prior communications, transactions, and understandings, whether oral or written, and constitute the sole and entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the referenced quotation or purchase order, provided that: (1) these terms and conditions shall not, without Onset’s prior written consent, supersede any conflicting terms of: (a) prior written agreements duly executed by Onst, or (b) governmental purchase orders, terms of purchase, requests for quotation or acquisition regulations relative to governmental purchasers; and (2) to the extent not in conflict with any such prior or governmental terms, these terms and conditions shall supplement them. No modification, addition or deletion, or waiver of any of the terms and conditions of these terms and conditions shall be binding on either party unless made in a non-preprinted agreement clearly understood by both parties to be a modification or waiver, and signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
FORCE MAJEURE
Shipping/delivery dates are approximate and may be delayed absent prompt receipt from Purchaser of all necessary information. Onset shall not be responsible for any failure to perform or delay attributable in whole or in part to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God, government actions, war, civil disturbance, insurrection, sabotage, labor shortages or disputes, failure or delay in delivery by Onset’s suppliers or subcontractors, transportation difficulties, customs clearance, shortage of energy, raw materials or equipment, or Purchaser’s fault or negligence. In the event of any such delay the date of delivery shall, at the request of Onset, be deferred for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.
INTERPRETATION
No course of prior dealing between the parties and no usage of the trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in these terms and conditions. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under these terms and conditions shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of these terms and conditions even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the performance and opportunity for objection. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in Massachusetts, is used in these terms and conditions, the definition contained in the Code is to control.
GOVERNING LAW
These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to provisions on the conflicts of law. Neither the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods will apply to this Agreement or any transaction under it.
