Below, the purchase terms and conditions are explained.

Terms and Conditions: Acceptance; etc.

Buyer, Omron Electronics LLC, offers to purchase the goods and services (collectively, the “Products”) specified in this Order subject to these terms and conditions.  Seller's starting work on this Order, or 5 days with no rejection, whichever is first, constitutes acceptance of this Order and these terms and conditions.  Acceptance of this Order is limited to acceptance of its express terms.  Any additional or different terms Seller proposes in its acknowledgment or otherwise are deemed material and Buyer hereby objects to such terms.  If this Order is deemed an acceptance of a prior offer by Seller, such acceptance is limited to the express terms hereof.

Changes

At any time Buyer may change the Specifications, quantity, packaging, time and place of delivery and method of transportation.  If any such change causes a material increase or decrease in the cost or time of performance, the parties agree to make an equitable adjustment and modify this Order accordingly.  Any increase in price will not exceed the actual cost increases and must be supported with documentation provided by the Seller. To the extent the costs have actually decreased, the prices shall be deemed decreased on a per-unit basis to reflect such cost savings.  Seller agrees to accept any such change. Seller shall not make any changes to the Products without Buyer’s written consent, which may be withheld, conditioned, or delayed in Buyer’s sole discretion, including any (i) changes in the design or composition of the Products, (ii) changes in the location where the Products are manufactured or, (iii) increases in the lead time of any Product. Any change in lead time will come into effect only after a period equal to the newly agreed lead time has expired.

Payment; Inspection; etc.

Payment terms are as provided on the face of the Order or otherwise stated by Buyer; provided Buyer is deemed to accept and be qualified for all applicable prepayment discounts.  Payment (in part or whole) for the Products shall not constitute acceptance.  Seller will promptly submit correct and complete invoices to Buyer after delivery of Products. Buyer may inspect the products. If Buyer rejects any Non-Conforming Products, Buyer may elect to (i) require Seller, at Seller's sole cost, to repair or replace the rejected Products at the location specified by Buyer, (ii) purchase similar Products from another source, (iii) produce similar products itself, (iv) repair the products itself or have a third party repair the Products, or (v) retain the rejected Products; in each case without limiting the exercise by Buyer of any other rights available to Buyer under these Terms or pursuant to applicable law. All returns of Non-Conforming Products are at Seller's sole risk and expense. Buyer's acceptance of any Products will not be deemed to be a waiver or limitation of Seller's obligations including those obligations with respect to Seller's Product warranties and Seller's duty to indemnify Buyer. Upon reasonable notice, Seller agrees to allow Buyer access to Seller’s premises to inspect and verify that the Products conform to the Specifications and Buyer’s Supplier Quality Manual to the extent made available by Buyer.
