TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

 

These Terms and Conditions (“T&C’s”) are included as a part of and are hereby incorporated by reference in any written Supply Agreement, Quote, Price List, Sales Order Confirmation, Invoice or other written communication (collectively,  “the “Seller Documents”) issued by Wilspec Technologies, Inc. (Seller) to any Buyer for the sale of goods or services by Seller to Buyer. All Seller Documents and any business transacted between Seller and any Buyer, and any Buyer purchase order, are expressly subject to and made conditional upon the terms of the Seller Documents. No standard terms or conditions of Buyer, nor any Buyer terms that are additional to or different from the Seller Documents that appear in any Buyer purchase order, order confirmation, or other document or communication by Buyer to Seller, shall be valid or binding upon Seller and are rejected and are waived by Buyer. No Buyer purchase order is binding on Seller except with written acceptance by Seller. Acceptance by Seller occurs in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. If Seller acceptance varies from the terms of Buyer purchase order, the Seller acceptance and variances shall apply and be binding on Seller and Buyer, unless Buyer withdraws it’s purchase order in writing to Seller within 5 days after the Seller acceptance. In addition to other facts or circumstances reflecting acceptance of Seller Documents, payment by Buyer to Seller for the goods constitutes acceptance of the Seller documents. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Seller Documents, the following order of priority shall control as to the relevant text: first, if there is a written Supply Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt a quote and a purchase order is not a written Supply Agreement), the terms of the Supply Agreement, (exclusive of the terms of the T&C’s in conflict therewith), shall control; next the most recent of the Seller Order Confirmation, Seller Quote or Seller Price List in effect to Buyer (exclusive of the terms of the T&C’s in conflict therewith),  shall control, and next the T&C’s shall control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of these T&C’s, the provision(s) most favorable to Seller shall control. These T&C’s are provided on the Wilspec website (www.Wilspec.com) and may be amended from time to time by Seller and shall be binding upon Buyer from the date of posting on the website. It is the responsibility of Buyer to review and stay current with such T&C’s.

  1. PATENTS: Except as provided in and limited by this paragraph 13 and in paragraph 14, Seller shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer in the United States of America (and Seller shall pay to Buyer the judgment finally awarded therein against and paid by Buyer) only insofar as such suit or proceeding is based on a claim, and final judgment so reflects, that the goods manufactured and supplied by Seller to Buyer (as determined on a stand-alone basis and not as a part of any Buyer product or goods) constitute direct infringement of any duly issued and valid United States patent. In any event however, and notwithstanding the above, the amount to be paid by Seller to Buyer above shall be limited to and shall not exceed the total price paid by Buyer to Seller for the quantity of infringing goods for which the final judgment was rendered and damages were awarded against and paid by Buyer.

Seller’s obligations herein shall not apply to any alleged or finally determined  infringement occurring after Buyer has received notice of such claim, suit or proceeding alleging the infringement unless Seller has given written permission for Buyer to continue to use such goods. In all events, Seller shall not be obligated to defend Buyer or be liable to Buyer for any costs, damages or final judgment  if the  infringement arises out of compliance with Buyer’s specification(s), or from a combination with, an addition to, or a modification of the goods after delivery by Seller, or from use of the goods or any part thereof by Buyer or its customers in the practice of a process or in any experimental goods, or use of the goods in a manner inconsistent with the Seller specifications and drawings (collectively and each the “Buyer Causation”).
