- Parties and Background. For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, “Galco” shall mean all Galco Industrial Electronics, Inc companies to the extent identified in a related quotation or an accepted purchase order, the parent, subsidiary or affiliate entity of Galco Industrial Electronics, Inc. so identified. “Customer” shall mean the person or entity identified in the related quotation or purchase order that is seeking to purchase products and/or services from Galco as described in the Customer's purchase order or Galco's quotation, as applicable. Galco is a distributor of industrial and commercial electrical and electronic control, automation, and motion products, and a provider of related repair and engineering services, serving various industries.
- Application. These Terms and Conditions, together with Customer's related
purchase order, govern the relationship between Customer and Galco and apply to: i) all sales of equipment,
parts, supplies, materials, systems or other personal property (individually and collectively, “Equipment”)
by Galco to Customer; ii) all manufacturing, assembling, integration, upgrading and/or engineering of Equipment
by Galco for Customer; and/or iii) all repairs to Equipment by Galco for Customer. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that these Terms and Conditions are incorporated in, and are a part of, each quotation, purchase order,
invoice, release, requisition, work order, shipping instruction, specification, and any other document, whether
expressed verbally, in written form or electronic commerce, relating to the sale, manufacture, assembly, integration,
upgrade and/or engineering of Equipment by Galco to Customer and/or repair of Equipment by Galco for Customer
(such documents including these Terms and Conditions are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). Such
Agreement represents the complete and exclusive statement of the parties' agreement and supersedes any prior
discussions, negotiations, agreements, and understandings. Any modifications proposed by Customer are not part
of the parties' Agreement in the absence of Galco's written acceptance thereof in a separate writing. Any terms
or provisions in the Customer's Purchase Order which are in any way inconsistent with those herein shall be null
and void and the Terms and Conditions herein shall control. The acceptance of Galco's quote or the issuance or
placing of a purchase order by Customer shall constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
- Quotations. No verbal quotations will be valid. Customer acknowledges that only written quotations that specifically identify the Equipment being sold, manufactured, assembled, integrated,
upgraded, engineered, serviced and/or repaired by Galco and list the quantity of Equipment being sold,
manufactured, assembled, integrated, upgraded, engineered, serviced and/or repaired, may be relied upon by
Customer. All clerical errors in quotations are subject to correction by Galco. All quoted items are subject
to prior sale and availability of stock and/or manufacturer product selections may vary.
If Customer decides not to have an item repaired after it has been received by Galco for evaluation and quoted,
then Galco will ship the Customer's item back to the Customer via ground transportation at no charge for parcel
shipments or dispose of the item if so requested by Customer. LTL shipments will be returned freight collect.
Customer acknowledges that not all items are repairable and there are times when once the repair is in process,
it will become evident that the item has extensive damage, which may cause it to be unrepairable. If Galco
determines, in its sole discretion, that an item is not reasonably capable of being repaired, then Galco will
make every effort to quote Customer on a comparable exchange or a new comparable item of Equipment. If none of
these options fulfill the Customer's requirements, then Galco will ship the Customer's item back to the Customer
via ground transportation at no charge for parcel shipments or dispose of the item if so requested by Customer.
LTL shipments will be returned freight collect.
- Pricing. Prices for Equipment, services and other related information shown in
any Galco or manufacturer product publication, including but not limited to catalogs, brochures, and Web sites,
are stated in U.S. Dollars and subject to change without notice and are not to be construed as a definite quotation
or offer to sell by Galco. Such literature is maintained only as a source of general information, and any prices
shown therein are subject to confirmation with a specific quotation and/or an accepted purchase order. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing between Galco and Customer, Galco reserves the right to increase or decrease any
price with any such increase or decrease to apply to any purchase order that has not been accepted by Galco as
of the effective date of such change. Such price change will not apply to any purchase orders that have been
accepted, or pursuant to which Equipment has been shipped and billed prior to the effective date of the price
change. Prices do not include related freight charges, duties, Customs' charges, use tax, sales tax, excise tax,
value-added tax, or similar taxes, or charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any governmental authority
(collectively, “Taxes and Fees”) unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Galco, all of which charges
and taxes shall be paid by the Customer. Delivery of Equipment will be F.O.B. point of origin and all transportation
costs for all Equipment shipped by Galco shall be billed to and prepaid by the Customer or charged to the
Customer's consignee freight account.
- Taxes. Prices quoted do not include (and Customer shall pay) all Taxes and Fees of any kind that may be levied or imposed on either party by federal, state, municipal, or other governmental
authorities in connection with the sale, service, repair or delivery of the Equipment by Galco including, but
not limited to, sales, use, excise or similar taxes, with the exception of Galco's income tax obligations arising
out of the sale of the Equipment or repair services by Galco.
- Terms of Payment. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Galco, the total price for Equipment or services provided by Galco to Customer is due and payable to Galco, without setoff or
other deductions or charges on the date of Customer's receipt of Galco's invoice, unless Galco extends to Customer
separate open account credit subject to all terms as specified in Galco's standard Credit Agreement, a copy of
which shall be provided to Customer upon request. Payment tendered at (or before) time of invoice may be made in
the form of cash, check, or credit card. Open account credit may be extended at Galco's sole discretion upon
satisfactory credit review and will be subject to the terms specified in Galco's Credit Agreement. Payments
tendered by Customer in settlement of any open account balances may be made via cash or check. Any amounts due
by Customer to Galco that remain unpaid 30 days following the date of Galco's invoice will bear interest on the
unpaid balance at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever
is less. The accrual or payment of any interest as provided above will not constitute a waiver by Galco of any
rights and remedies in connection with a default by Customer. Customer will pay all court costs, attorney fees,
and other costs incurred by Galco in collecting past-due amounts, including interest.
If shipment or delivery of Equipment is delayed by or at the request of Customer, payment will remain due in full
30 days from the date of Galco's invoice. In such event, Galco may impose, and Customer shall pay, storage charges
and other incidental expenses incurred by Galco as a result of the delay in addition to any interest on late payments
as described above, at such rate as determined by Galco in its sole but reasonable discretion. If, in Galco's judgment,
the financial condition of Customer at the time Equipment is ready for shipment or repairs are ready t be performed
does not justify the payment terms specified, Galco reserves the right to change these terms or to require full payment
or partial payment in advance. All open account sales are subject to the approval of Galco's credit department.
For export trade, terms of payment shall be made by way of sight-draft against letter of credit payable in the United States. Letters of credit must be irrevocable and confirmed by a United States bank or financial institution acceptable to Galco.
- Security Interest. As security for payment of all amounts due to Galco, Customer grants to Galco a security interest in all Equipment sold by Galco to Customer, and Galco will have all rights
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Equipment. Customer appoints Galco as
its attorney-in-fact with authority, at Galco's option, to take actions as Galco deems reasonable in the
circumstance to perfect the above security interest in any one or more jurisdictions including, but not limited
to, filing a financing statement, and Customer shall pay all applicable filing fees.
- Limited Warranty; Disclaimer. The warranty obligations of Galco for Equipment sold
or installed by Galco will in all respects conform and be limited to the warranty extended by the manufacturer of
the Equipment, if transferable. The sole remedy available to Customer with respect to defects in the Equipment will
be against the manufacturer under any applicable manufacturer's warranty to the extent available to Customer.
TO THE EXTENT THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO CUSTOMER, GALCO MAKES NO WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE EQUIPMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
If Equipment is resold by Customer, Customer will include in its agreement for resale provisions that limit
recoveries in accordance with this Agreement. In case of Customer's failure to include in any agreement for
resale the terms providing for such limitations, Customer will indemnify and hold Galco harmless against any
liability, loss, cost, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or resulting
from such failure.
Except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, Galco warrants for a period of one (1) year
from the date of Galco's invoice, that any Equipment manufactured, assembled, integrated, upgraded or engineered
by Galco will be free from defects for such one (1) year period under normal and recommended use. Galco however
will not be liable for any failure based upon a design furnished by Customer and incorporated into the Equipment
manufactured, assembled, integrated, upgraded or engineered or for failure based on parts of the Equipment which
were manufactured, assembled, integrated, upgraded or engineered by a person or entity other than Galco. All other
Equipment shall carry only the particular warranty offered by the manufacturer of such Equipment (which in some
cases may be less than 1 year), and Galco shall assign such warranty rights to Customer, to the extent assignable.
Warranty for repair services performed by Galco (other than field service and work performed on a T&M basis) will
vary on a case by case basis, but will typically carry a warranty period as set forth in the related quotation.
Field service and work performed on a T&M basis does not carry any warranty, other than Galco warrants that the
service will be performed in a workmanlike manner. Any Equipment installed in connection with such field service
will carry the applicable corresponding warranty for such Equipment. No representation or warranty, expressed or
implied, made by any sales representative or other agent or representative of Galco, which is not specifically set
forth herein, shall be binding upon Galco.
Galco's obligation under any warranty provided herein by Galco will be limited to the replacement or repair or
modification of, or issuance of a credit for, the Equipment involved, or re-performance of, or issuance of a
credit for, the repair in question, in each case at Galco's option.
Any warranty provided herein by Galco is available only if (a) Galco is promptly notified in writing upon discovery
of an alleged defect, but in all cases within the applicable warranty period, (b) Galco's examination of the subject
Equipment discloses, to its satisfaction, that the Equipment is defective and that any defect has not been caused by
misuse, neglect, improper installation, improper operation, improper maintenance, repair or alteration, improper
storage or handling, abnormal temperatures, moisture, dirt or corrosive conditions, accident, an act of God or unusual
deterioration or degradation of the Equipment or parts thereof due to physical environment or due to electrical or
electromagnetic noise environment, and (c) the Equipment has not been repaired during the applicable warranty period
provided for herein by any individual, person, or entity other than Galco without the written authority of Galco.
THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
WHETHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THEREBY EXCLUDES CERTIFICATIONS OR THE LIKE FOR EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE, USE
OR DESIGN WITH RESPECT TO ANY STANDARD, REGULATION OR THE LIKE (UNLESS AND TO THE EXTENT INDEPENDENTLY APPROVED
IN WRITING AT GALCO'S HEADQUARTERS), AND EXTENDS ONLY TO CUSTOMER.
General information such as schematic diagrams, instruction manuals and the like are furnished by Galco as a
suggestion for the use of Galco Equipment and in no way constitute warranty of fitness of the Equipment for
a specific application.
CUSTOMER ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE EQUIPMENT PURCHASED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
MEETS THE SPECIFICATIONS AND/OR INTENDED USE OF CUSTOMER, AND GALCO MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WITH RESPECT THERETO.
- Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF GALCO, GALCO SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY
WHATSOEVER TO CUSTOMER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN AN AMOUNT OF DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER
TO GALCO FOR THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY GALCO TO CUSTOMER WHICH CAUSED SUCH INJURY OR DAMAGE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL GALCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMTIED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF USE
OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, DAMAGE TO ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, TOOLS OR WORK IN PROCESS,
COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES OR SERVICES, DOWNTIME COSTS, OR CLAIMS OF THIRD
PARTIES OR CUSTOMERS FOR SUCH DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OR THEORY ASSERTED. IF CUSTOMER FURNISHES
GALCO'S SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT TO A THIRD PARTY BY CONTRACT, CUSTOMER SHALL OBTAIN FROM SUCH THIRD PARTY A
PROVISION AFFORDING GALCO AND ITS SUPPLIERS THE PROTECTION OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE AND SHALL DEFEND AND
INDEMNIFY GALCO IN THE EVENT IT FAILS TO DO SO. In no event shall Galco be liable for any loss or
damage whatsoever arising from its failure to discover or repair latent defects or defects inherent in the
design of the Equipment received from Customer.
- Delivery; Force Majeure. Any delivery dates or other schedule of performance
by Galco are approximations and based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Customer, and the
sole obligation of Galco with respect to the schedule of delivery or performance will be to use commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver the Equipment, or otherwise to perform, consistent with the reasonable demands
of its business. With respect to repair orders, delivery will be governed by the terms of the applicable
quotation. Customer shall be responsible for all delivery costs and shall bear the risk of any loss or damage
in transit. In any event, any delay or failure of Galco to perform its obligations under the Agreement shall
be excused and Galco will have no liability to Customer or any other person for such delay or failure if, and
to the extent such delay or failure is caused by an event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Galco
and without its fault or negligence including, but not limited to, strikes or labor disputes of any type;
accidents, fire, floods, windstorms, explosions, natural disasters, sabotage, terrorism, acts of God, war, riots,
epidemics, quarantine restrictions, or actions by governmental authorities; acts, omissions, or delays of Customer
or any other third party; shortages of labor, materials or facilities; delays in transportation or transportation
embargoes; or court injunctions or orders. In the event of such delay, the delivery date shall be extended for
that length of time as may be reasonably necessary to compensate for the delay. Regardless of the reason for
delay, Galco will not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any delay.
- Packaging and Labeling. Unless otherwise specified, the Equipment provided by
Galco to Customer shall be: (a) packed, packaged, marked and otherwise prepared for shipment in a manner which
is in accordance with good commercial practice; (b) acceptable to common carriers at the lowest rate for the
particular products and in accordance with applicable regulations; and (c) adequate to insure safe arrival at
the named destination; provided, however, Galco shall not be liable for, and Customer shall bear the risk of,
any loss or damage in transit. Galco shall mark all containers with necessary lifting, handling and shipping
information. Where such packing must conform to definite specifications that differ from Galco's standard
provided above in this paragraph, then the Customer shall be charged for the extra cost incurred by Galco for
such packing. If Customer purchases from Galco Equipment for resale by Customer and to which Customer,
directly or indirectly, is to apply its own label (or its content), Customer shall ensure that the label contains
the content and form as specified by Galco in writing, and as may be supplemented or amended by Galco from time
to time. In the event Customer shall fail to comply with this paragraph, or any other provision of this Agreement,
or shall otherwise fail to comply with any labeling requirements existing as a matter of law, Customer shall
defend, indemnify and hold Galco harmless from all costs, expenses, liability, damages, fines, penalties,
judgments or losses arising with respect thereto.
- Shipping Weights And Dimensions. Published weights of Equipment are careful
estimates but are not warranted. Dimensions of Equipment shown in catalogs are approximate. For construction
purposes, certified dimension drawings for Equipment can be obtained upon written request made to the nearest
sales office of Galco.
- Title and Risk of Loss. With respect to Equipment purchased from Galco, title
to and risk of loss or damage to the Equipment will pass to Customer on delivery by Galco F.O.B. (a) Galco's
facility, (b) Galco's supplier's facility when Equipment is shipped directly from such supplier or the
manufacturer, or (c) as otherwise specifically indicated in the Agreement. With respect to Equipment repaired
by Galco, risk of loss or damage to the Equipment will pass to Customer on delivery by Galco F.O.B. (a) Galco's
facility, (b) Galco's supplier's facility when Equipment is shipped directly from such supplier or the manufacturer,
or (c) as otherwise specifically indicated in the Agreement.
- Inspection and Acceptance. Customer will have ten (10) days from the date of
delivery to inspect the Equipment for defects and nonconformance and to notify Galco, in writing, of any defects,
nonconformance, or rejection of the Equipment (other than defects or nonconformities due to damage, shortage, or
errors in shipping that will be reported as set forth below). Equipment rejected as not conforming to the Agreement,
or as otherwise defective, shall be returned at Customer's initial expense, including transportation and handling
costs, but subject to reimbursement by Galco upon confirmation of the defect claimed. Acceptance by Customer of
Equipment delivered by Galco shall be deemed to have occurred no later than ten (10) days following delivery of
such Equipment, unless a timely and proper rejection has been made by that date. After this period, Customer will
be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Equipment, if not previously accepted. After acceptance, Customer will
have no right to reject the Equipment for any reason or revoke acceptance. Claims for damage due to shipping must
be made by Customer to the freight carrier and Customer agrees that Galco shall not be liable for any of such
damages.
- Return of Equipment. All returns of In-Stock product, considered Standard Product,
will be pursuant to Galco's instructions and except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, subject
to Galco's written permission for such return. All returns of Non-Stock product, considered Special Order Products,
will be pursuant to Galco's instructions and except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, subject
to Galco's written permission for such return. Customer must contact Galco for a Return Material Authorization
Number (RMA) before returning any Equipment. No Return Authorization will be issued on Special Order Products
without authorization from the manufacturer to accept the return. All returns must reference the RMA number along
with the original invoice number and the reason for the return. Non-warranty returns of normal stock Equipment
that are unused and are in resalable condition will be subject to Galco's return policies in effect at the time,
including applicable restocking and transportation charges and other conditions of return.
Only purchases which have been invoiced to the Customer within thirty days of Customer's request to return same,
will be considered for return. Material accepted for return is subject to a minimum service or restocking
charge of 25% of the billing invoice, plus all transportation charges incurred by Galco. Equipment built to a
Customer's specifications cannot be returned for credit under any circumstances.
Equipment returned for credit must be carefully packed so as to reach Galco without damage. Galco will not be
responsible for any damages occurring to Equipment being returned to Galco which occurred prior to the time
such Equipment arrived at the destination to which Customer was directed by Galco to return such Equipment, or
that is caused by the shipper or courier delivering such Equipment. Returned Equipment remains Customer's
property until such Equipment is received, inspected, and accepted for return by Galco.
- Cancellation or Termination. All purchase orders that have been accepted by
Galco are considered final and binding and may not be cancelled, altered or terminated by Customer except upon
terms and conditions acceptable to Galco, in its sole discretion, or as permitted by Paragraph 15 of these
Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, purchase orders for “stock” Equipment only, may be
cancelled by Customer upon written notice to Galco given at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled shipment
date of such Equipment and upon payment by Customer to Galco of a cancellation/restocking fee in the amount of
at least 25% of the purchase order amount. In no event may Customer cancel any special or custom order. Any
deposit or advance payment made by Customer in connection with a cancelled purchase order may be applied by
Galco to such cancellation/restocking fee. In the event of a cancellation in accordance with this paragraph
16, Customer shall include the purchase order number and purchase order date in its cancellation notice. All
Equipment that is the subject of a cancelled purchase order shall remain the sole and exclusive property of
Galco.
This Agreement may be terminated in any of the following ways:
- By mutual agreement of Galco and Customer;
- By Galco, on thirty (30) days prior written notice, in the event that:
(i) Customer breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any provision contained
herein, and such breach is not cured within that time period; (ii) Galco reasonably
believes that Customer's financial condition places it in a position of being unlikely to
be able to meet its contractual obligations; (iii) Customer defaults under any other
material contract to which it is a party; or (iv) Customer sells all or substantially all of
its assets, a majority of its voting stock or merges with another entity.
- By Customer, upon one hundred twenty (120) days prior written
notice, in the event that: (i) Galco breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any
provision contained herein, and such breach is not cured within that time period; (ii)
Customer reasonably believes that Galco's financial condition places it in a position
of being unlikely to be able to meet its contractual obligations; (iii) Galco defaults
under any other material contract to which it is a party; or (iv) Galco sells all or
substantially all of its assets, a majority of its voting stock or merges with another
entity, unless Galco is the surviving corporation in any such merger.
In the event of default under the Agreement by Customer that is not cured within thirty (30) days
after notice by Galco, Customer will pay to Galco on demand all direct and indirect costs (including,
without limitation, all applicable restocking or cancellation charges, including reimbursement for
direct costs assessed by the manufacturer) incurred directly or indirectly by Galco in connection
with the Agreement, all as reasonably determined by Galco, plus any profit to be negotiated with
Customer. No termination by Customer for default shall be effective unless and until Galco shall
have failed to correct such alleged default within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt by
Galco of written notice specifying such default.
- Changes. Galco reserves the right from time to time to correct any
typographical or clerical errors, including errors in mathematical computations, that may exist in
the Agreement or any related documentation.
- Technical Support. Unless otherwise specifically provided on the
quotation or in an accepted purchase order, the Agreement does not include any services of Galco
in connection with installation, testing, or evaluation of the Equipment. Galco will, however,
consistent with its capabilities and subject to scheduling acceptable to Galco, make available to
Customer, at Customer's expense, technical support services relating to the Equipment at the rates
then imposed by Galco, together with any out-of-pocket expenses to Galco in connection with the
technical support. The sole remedy of Customer in connection with any acts or omissions of Galco
in the provision of technical support will be the provision of further technical support to
Customer reasonably required to correct the act or omission. Galco shall have no other liability
or obligation with respect thereto. Customer will pay all reasonable travel, living expense and
mileage associated with rendering Customer on-site service, as well as, service charges for personnel
at the then current rate. Overtime, weekend and holiday hours of service are subject to premium
charges. Special travel rates may apply to travel in excess of 100 miles one-way from and to the
Galco base location of such service provider.
- Access and Confidentiality. Unless approved in writing by an
officer of Galco, any access to Galco's facilities, records, or data by Customer or customer(s)
of Customer, as well as respective agents or representatives of Customer, for whatever purpose,
shall exclude access to proprietary processes and information. In addition, any such access shall
be conditioned upon execution of Galco's standard Visitor Agreement addressing confidentiality
and waiver of premise liability claims by Customer. Customer recognizes that Galco is the owner
of, and/or in possession of certain confidential and proprietary information relating to the
development and application of the Equipment, which may include specifications, technological
know-how and other types of information or data related thereto (the "Technical Information").
Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, disseminate, or otherwise publish to
any third-party any of the Technical Information. Customer shall protect from disclosure Galco's
Technical Information to the same extent which Customer seeks to protect its own Technical
Information from disclosure (but in no event will Customer exercise less than reasonable measures).
The confidentiality obligations herein shall not apply to any Technical Information which (a)
at the time of disclosure is in the public domain, (b) after disclosure becomes part of the
public domain other than through a breach of a non-disclosure obligation, or (c) was received
from a third-party who acquired such information through lawful means and without any breach of
a non-disclosure obligation.
- Modifications and Waiver?Entire Agreement. Neither party has
any rights, makes any warranties, nor is subject to any conditions, expressed or implied, statutory
or otherwise, other than those contained in the Agreement. The Agreement contains the entire
agreement between Galco and Customer and can be modified or rescinded only by a writing signed by
both parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, warranties,
and statements, oral or written, are merged into these Terms and Conditions. Neither these Terms
and Conditions nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated
except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which that enforcement is sought and
then only to the extent set forth in that instrument. The Agreement shall be binding upon, and its
benefits shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors,
and permitted assigns. Failure of either party to insist on strict performance of the Agreement will
not be construed as a waiver of any term or condition of the Agreement.
Any document submitted by Customer to Galco confirming its intention to purchase Equipment
described in the Agreement (purchase orders, releases, etc.) will be deemed to constitute a
confirmation and acceptance of the Agreement, including these Terms and Conditions,,
even if the document states terms in addition to or different from those in
the Agreement. All agreements between Galco and Customer will be solely under the terms and
conditions of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, and Galco objects to any and all
additional or different terms contained in any document submitted to Galco by Customer. Any
execution by Galco of any other document submitted by Customer in connection with the
purchase of Equipment does not constitute acceptance of or agreement to any terms and conditions
in addition to or different from those contained in the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions,
but will constitute only acknowledgement of receipt of the document. In addition, notwithstanding
any terms contained in any documents submitted by Customer in connection with the purchase of
Equipment described under the Agreement, the acceptance of delivery by Customer of Equipment
described in the Agreement will constitute a course of conduct constituting Customer's agreement
to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, to the exclusion of
any additional or different terms and conditions.
- Compliance with Laws. Customer will be responsible for compliance
with any and all federal, state, or local laws or regulations respecting safety or respecting use
of the Equipment and shall indemnify and hold Galco harmless from and against any and all claims
of violations of laws or regulations or other claims of personal injury or property damage directly
or indirectly related to the installation, maintenance, possession, use or operation of the Equipment,
unless such claim results from the improper installation of the Equipment by Galco.
- Standards. Many countries have adopted laws relative to
standardization and product certification applicable to various products, including Equipment such
as that sold by Galco. Galco does not warrant conformity with the standardization and product
certification requirements of any country outside the United States except to the extent set forth in
a separate writing delivered to Customer by Galco. In the absence of such a separate writing, Customer
assumes the obligations for compliance with the laws of any other country to the extent such laws are
applicable.
- Export Control. Equipment supplied by Galco may be subject to various
export laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the exporter to comply with all laws and
regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if federal, state, or local law
requires export authorization for the export or re-export of any Equipment or associated technology,
no delivery can be made until export authorization is obtained, regardless of any otherwise promised
delivery date. If any required export authorization is denied, Galco and Galco's supplier will be
relieved of any further obligation relative to the sale and delivery of the Equipment subject to
denial without liability of any kind relative to Customer or any other party. Galco will not comply
with boycott-related requests except to the extent permitted by federal law and then only at Galco's
discretion.
- Anti-Corruption. Customer has not received or been offered any
illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from a Galco employee or
agent in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary
course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the
above restriction, it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Galco's Legal Department.
- Trademark Usage. Galco's guidelines on trademark and logo usage
must be followed in order to maintain brand integrity. Requiring consistent use of the trademarks
and logos in all graphic (print, electronic, etc.) applications will help to maintain the prestige
of the brand and will assist in maintaining and growing customer and brand awareness. Subject to
this Paragraph, Customer may use the trademarks, tradenames, logos and designations used by Galco
for the Equipment solely in connection with Customer's advertisement, promotion and sale of the
Equipment, and in accordance with Galco's then-current trademark usage policies. Customer shall
not remove or destroy or alter any copyright notices, trademarks or other proprietary markings
on the Equipment, documentation or other materials related to the Equipment. Such usage by
Customer shall terminate immediately upon termination of its business relationship with Galco, or
upon written request from Galco to cease such use. Any marketing materials released by Customer,
including catalogs, advertisements, flyers and Websites, must comply with the foregoing. Note that
any Equipment described in Galco's materials, including on its Website, may be the subject of other
intellectual property rights reserved by Galco and are not licensed hereunder. Galco, and other
brand names listed on Galco's Website are the worldwide trademarks or registered trademarks of Galco.
Trademarks of other parties are identified wherever possible and Galco acknowledges their rights.
- No Right to Copy. The Equipment is sold by Galco subject, in
every case, to the condition that such sale does not convey any license, or other right in the
Customer to manufacture, duplicate, or otherwise copy or reproduce the Equipment or any component
thereof, through any means whatsoever, including but not limited to 3D printing. Customer agrees
to take appropriate steps to assure compliance with the restrictions contained in this paragraph.
Any violation of this section shall be deemed a material breach by Customer.
- Government Clauses And Contracts. Customer acknowledges that the
Equipment is being purchased for commercial purposes only and is not the subject of any contract
with a governmental body or agency thereof. Government Contract clauses and any clauses essentially
based upon Government Contract Regulations shall only apply to sales subject to a Government Contract
and only to the extent set forth in a separate writing and agreed to by Galco. In the event the
sale is subject to a Government Contract, as evidenced by a separate writing agreed to by Galco,
the terms and conditions of such sale shall include, if any, only those Government Contract Clauses
not inconsistent with terms and conditions of this Agreement, only to the extent required to be
included in a Contract or Subcontract and only the minimum extent necessary to carry out the purpose
of the clause. Equipment sold by Galco is not intended to be used, nor shall it be used, as a
"Basic Component" under 10 CFR 21 (NRC).
- Assignment. The Agreement may not be assigned by Customer without
the prior written consent of Galco. Galco may not assign its rights to this Agreement or delegate
its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Customer except (1) to a
successor entity by merger or consolidation of Galco, or (2) to any entity acquiring by sale,
lease or other-wise substantially all of the property, assets and business of Galco, or any
division or segment thereof having control of the activities or business to which the Agreement
relates, or (3) to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Galco.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Agreement will be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, and any dispute arising
hereunder that is not resolved through informal dispute resolution procedures, shall be resolved
exclusively in the courts sitting in either Oakland County or Macomb County, Michigan or the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and such courts shall have exclusive
jurisdiction as to such disputes.
- Authority. No signature to these Terms and Conditions shall be
required as a precondition to their enforcement. If Galco requests a signature to these Terms and
Conditions, these Terms and Conditions may be executed in counterparts (including counterpart
facsimiles or by electronic signatures) and each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original
instrument, but all counterparts shall together constitute one agreement. In that event, each
signatory represents that it has all requisite authority to execute the Agreement on behalf of its
principal and that the Agreement is fully enforceable against the principal in accordance with its
terms.
- Severability. In the event any of the terms of the Agreement are
in conflict with any rule of law or statutory provision or are otherwise unenforceable under the
laws or regulations of any government or subdivision thereof, such terms shall be deemed stricken
from the Agreement, but such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate any of the other
terms of the Agreement and the Agreement shall continue in force, unless the invalidity or
unenforceability of any such provisions hereof does substantial violence to, or where the invalid or
unenforceable provisions comprise an integral part of, or are otherwise inseparable from, the
remainder of the Agreement.

contractors, and nothing in this Agreement makes either party the agent or legal representative
of the other party for any purpose. Neither party has authority to assume or to create any
obligation on behalf of the other party.

payment of all applicable state and local taxes, or for providing a valid sales tax exemption
