TERMS AND CONDITIONS (APPLICABLE TO ALL AIRTECH PRODUCTS)

GENERAL
These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of Seller’s goods. Unless otherwise specified on Seller’s order confirmation or invoice, any other Terms and Conditions, whether express or implied, are excluded. None of Seller’s employees or agents has authority to modify or supplement these Terms and Conditions or to accept any order except on Seller’s order forms. Seller’s commitment to a sale shall become effective only upon issuance of Seller’s written acknowledgement confirming the order or issuance of Seller’s invoice, whichever occurs first. In the event and to the extent that the Limited Warranty is in conflict with the Terms and Conditions of Airtech International, Inc. for Seller’s goods, the provisions of the Limited Warranty will prevail.

ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s assent and agreement to these Terms and Conditions, without addition, deletion, or modification. Any additional terms and conditions proposed by Buyer that add to, vary from, or conflict with these Terms and Conditions, whether included in a purchase order, acknowledgement, request for proposal or other document provided by Buyer, are deemed to be material alterations of the Agreement between Buyer and Seller, and notice of objection is hereby given. Any such proposed additional terms and/or conditions from Buyer are rejected and shall be void.
In addition, acceptance by Buyer of Seller’s full or partial deliveries, whichever the case may be, or payment by Buyer, shall constitute acceptance of Seller’s Terms and Conditions without addition, deletion and/or modification, and waiver of any additional or modified terms or conditions proposed by Buyer.

PRODUCTS AND REPRESENTATIONS TO WHICH THE LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY
The Seller’s Limited Warranty does not apply to seconds, remainder stock, or samples, or to goods sold as obsolete or substandard, nor does it apply if any alleged defects are attributable to any material that the Buyer furnished to the Seller for processing or incorporation into the goods. Seller shall be under no duty to examine any such material provided by the Buyer prior to such processing or incorporation into the goods.
If any model or sample was shown to the Buyer, such model or sample was used solely to illustrate the general type and quality of the goods, and was not shown to warrant that the goods would be of that type or nature or in conformance with the model or sample.
No agent, employee or representative of Seller has any authority to bind Seller to any representation, affirmation or warranty concerning the goods. Any such representation, affirmation or warranty shall not be deemed to be a part of the basis of the sale of goods and shall be unenforceable.
This limited warranty shall apply only to such goods that appear in the Airtech Product Catalog Data at the time of the purchase of the goods, and to such goods that from time to time may replace an existing product in the catalog.

PRICES
Goods, which are to be shipped within 30 days as from the date of Seller’s confirmation of the sales order, shall be invoiced at the price quoted by Seller. The price of any such goods which are to be shipped more than 30 days after the date of Seller’s confirmation may be increased by Seller in accordance with increases in Seller’s costs and/or general price list increases occurring after the date of Seller’s confirmation of the order . Unless otherwise stated on Seller’s order confirmation, prices are net prices and exclusive of sales tax and all other duties, fees, freight charges and/or taxes.

PAYMENT
Unless otherwise stated on Seller’s order confirmation, payment is to be made within 30 days from the date of the invoice. All sums due to Seller are to be paid without discount in the currency, and to the address stated on Seller’s order confirmation (Huntington Beach, CA) or to such other address as Seller may require. Seller’s acceptance of a draft or comparable document shall not constitute completed payment; payment only is deemed to have been completed when payment has arrived in Seller’s bank account. Any sum due to Seller under the sales contract which is not paid, as described herein, within 30 days shall be increased, without the necessity of any reminder or notice, at a monthly interest rate of 1.5 %, calculated on the outstanding amount of the invoice.
In the event the Buyer fails to fulfil the payment terms, as defined herein, or should Seller have reason to believe that the Buyer’s financial responsibility is inadequate, Seller may, in its sole discretion, either demand immediate payment of all outstanding amounts, whether due or not, and/or cancel any or all outstanding orders and decline to make further deliveries except upon receipt of cash or any security satisfactory to the Seller. So long as all the amounts due to Seller are not completely paid, Buyer pledges to the Seller, as security, all the claims Buyer could or may have against its own buyers or customers.

OFFSET / RETENTION
Unless otherwise specified by the Seller in writing, any attempted offset or retention of payment by Buyer in connection with any claim shall not be valid. Seller may appropriate sums received from Buyer against any debt due to Seller from Buyer, whether due under this contract or under any other contract.

RISK
Risk of loss of the goods sold shall be transferred at the place of delivery specified by Seller. Any and all material of the Buyer which might be consigned to Seller’s premises for processing shall at all times be at Buyer’s risk, and Seller shall not be liable for loss or damage thereto, whether or not any such loss or damage involved negligence or gross negligence by the Seller.

DELIVERY
Delivery or dispatch dates quoted by Seller are not guaranteed unless so stated on Seller’s order confirmation. Delivery shall be made to the place(s) and by the method(s) specified on Seller’s order confirmation. Unless otherwise specified on Seller’s order confirmation, place of delivery shall be at Buyer’s office location. Buyer is responsible for unloading at destination. Buyer shall take delivery of the products by any date quoted by Seller or, if no date was specified by Seller, by the date requested by Buyer, but in any event within a reasonable time. Seller may deliver early where reasonable.
Buyer shall be responsible for all storage and other costs relating to Buyer’s failure to comply with the terms of the sales contract. Buyer shall promptly supply all information and assistance required for Seller to execute Buyer’s order.
Seller reserves the right to select the mode of transportation and the carriers for shipment of goods to the place of delivery selected by Buyer. Buyer shall bear the cost of any special transportation arrangements requested by Buyer. Execution of a receipt by Buyer or the executed carrier’s receipt shall be conclusive evidence of delivery to Buyer.
Buyer shall accept manufacturing tolerances accepted in the trade and weights or quantities varying by not more than 5 % from the contract weight or quantity. In case of Seller’s partial inability to supply the ordered goods for any reason, Seller may allocate its available supply among any or all of its purchasers or make partial deliveries, as it may deem fair and/or practical. Accordingly, any failure of Seller to make any particular delivery, or any breach of contract by Seller relating to a particular delivery, shall not affect any remaining deliveries or contracts.

FORCE MAJEURE
Seller shall not be liable for any failure to comply with the contract related to any circumstances whatsoever (whether or not involving Seller’s negligence or conduct) which are beyond Seller’s reasonable control, and which prevent or restrict Seller from complying with the contract. It is expressly understood between parties that the following events are non-limitative examples of FORCE MAJEURE: fire, explosion, accident, flood, labor trouble or shortage, disease, epidemic, pandemic, war, act of (or authorized by) any local, state or federal government entity (including but not limited to emergency declarations), inability to obtain suitable material, equipment, fuel, power or transportation, supplier’s bankruptcy, arising from contingencies, or act of God.

PRICE / QUOTE EXCEPTIONS
In the event of any unforeseen cost increase imposed as a result of Global Tariffs/duties, or large fluctuations in raw materials, exchange rate and the Customer Price Index, the Seller reserves the right to adjust prices where necessary. The Supplier will endeavor to keep any potential increase to a minimum and ensure that any such increase will remain competitive in the current market.

TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION

Seller may (without prejudice to its other rights or remedies), terminate or suspend Seller’s performance of the whole or any outstanding part of the sales contract if:

2. if Buyer becomes bankrupt or insolvent ,or if a receiver or encumbrance takes possession of any material part of Buyer’s assets, or Buyer suffers any foreign equivalent of the foregoing; or

PROPERTY RESERVE - GUARANTEE &   Any goods delivered or to be delivered by Seller remain the exclusive property of Seller until Seller has received payment in full for the goods. If Buyer mixes or processes the goods so that they lose their identity or are irrecoverably incorporated in or mixed with other goods, the resulting product (“the Downstream Product”) shall be Seller’s property until full payment for the originally delivered goods has been received, unless the value of the Downstream Product (as measured by the price charged to the buyer of the Downstream Product or, if none, the direct factory cost to the Buyer of the manufacture of the Downstream Product), unless the cost of manufacture exceeds the contract price for the goods delivered by Seller. In this case, Buyer has the right to resell the delivered goods and/or the Downstream Products to an unrelated third party on the resolving condition of full payment for the goods delivered by Seller. In this event, Buyer is deemed to have assigned to Seller the resultant claim for payment from the third party sale. Buyer shall notify the assignment to the third party. Until ownership of the products or Downstream Products passes to the third party, Buyer shall insure them against all usual risks to full replacement value; shall sell, use or part with possession of them only in the ordinary course of trading; and shall, where reasonably possible, keep each delivery separate and clearly identified as Seller’s property.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Buyer shall not use trademarks or trade names applied to or used by Seller in relation to the products in any manner not approved by Seller. Buyer shall indemnify Seller against any liability incurred by Seller:

1. as a result of incorporating property of Buyer in the products or applying any trademark, trade name or design to the products on Buyer’s instructions, or complying with any other instructions of Buyer relating to the products; and
2. in relation to any third party claims arising from use made of or dealings by Buyer in the products (irrespective of whether they involve the negligence of Seller, its agents or employees), except in case of Seller’s wilful default. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the other of any relevant claim, shall comply with the other’s reasonable requirements to minimize liability and/or avoid further liability, and shall allow the other to conduct appropriate action and/or settlement negotiations, on reasonable terms.

MISCELLANEOUS

Qualified acceptances by Buyer on delivery notices shall not constitute notice of any claim or acceptance by Seller of any such qualified acceptance. No failure by Seller to enforce any provision of the sales contract shall be construed as a release of its rights relating any other provision of the sales contract, or to sanction any further breach of the sales contract. If any provision of the Airtech sales documents or any other documents issued by Airtech is found by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of the document or documents shall have full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified or partially enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

LANGUAGE

PRODUCT SUPPLY,CONSISTENCY AND COMPLIANCE
Our products are not “fly away” products but rather are consumables, used for vacuum bagging of composite parts and for the production of molds. Our products have been safely used throughout the world for over [40] years, and where noted in our product specification materials, are qualified in compliance with applicable worldwide and industry specifications.
All of our supplier’s products meet our data sheet specifications, which set out the parameters for use of our product. A safe supply of products to our customers is a vital concern of Airtech.
In order to assure our customers that they will have access to products despite the vicissitudes of the marketplace, we qualify multiple sources for our products and raw materials. Having multiple sources has allowed Airtech to maintain a consistent supply of materials, even in the most difficult of times, and allows Airtech to supply products in conformance with the data sheet, as it appears in the applicable product catalog, from an alternate supplier when necessary to meet a customer’s order requirements.
Airtech has four worldwide facilities that produce or convert materials. Each of these Airtech facilities is among the most technologically advanced of its kind in the world, and provides backup to our worldwide supply chain as needed.
From the first day of the establishment of Airtech International, Inc. and its affiliated companies, Airtech has had one preeminent goal: to develop and supply products whose performance fulfill its customers' daily needs for quality and dependable products, and which serve as a solution to customers' problems. For this reason, Airtech describes how each of its products can be expected to perform -- i.e., its temperature range, elongation at break, tensile strength, density, yield, shelf life, etc. – in our Catalog Data Sheets. It is Airtech' s promise that all of its products, wherever sold at any of its locations throughout the world, will conform to these performance specifications as described in its Catalog Data Sheets. Ordering from Airtech gives you the safety of multiple sourcing with just one order.

PRODUCT CHANGES
Airtech reserves the right to discontinue the manufacture or sale of any product at any time, or to alter, modify or redesign its products.

MATERIAL TOLERANCE
For all of our materials, the thickness, width and roll size information given is an approximation based on “typical” values, which have a nominal range applicable to them, and which is not intended for specification purposes. Slight variations in the color of products are normal and will not affect performance.
