These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale shall apply to all quotations and offers made, and purchase orders accepted, by Kinetic Technologies HK Limited, a Hong Kong Corporation (“Seller”). THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE MAY, IN SOME INSTANCES, CONFLICT WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AFFIXED TO PURCHASE ORDERS OR OTHER PROCUREMENT DOCUMENTS ISSUED BY BUYER. IN SUCH CASE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL PREVAIL. Seller’s acceptance of any purchase order of Buyer is strictly conditioned upon Buyer’s acceptance of these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the same upon any of the following by Buyer, its agents or representatives: (i) written or electronic acknowledgement or acceptance hereof, (ii) transmission to Seller, its agents or representatives of any order for Seller’s Products or services, or (iii) acceptance of or payment for any product or service covered hereby. Seller’s failure to object to any provision contained in any communication from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of any provision hereof. Any changes in the terms and conditions of sale contained herein, or in any document or agreement referred to herein, must be specifically agreed to in a writing signed by a corporate officer of Seller, before being binding on either party. All orders or contracts must be approved and accepted by the Seller at its head office in Sunnyvale, California, U.S.A. Seller may accept or reject any order at Seller’s sole discretion..

2. PRICING
Prices quoted are subject to modification or withdrawal without notice, unless otherwise stated in a written quotation provided by Seller. All invoices and charges for products and services will be at the price indicated in Seller’s written order acknowledgement, or other mutually agreeable form of order acceptance by Seller. In the event that the acceptance price differs from the price originally quoted to Buyer, Buyer may cancel such order without liability so long as it gives written notice thereof to Seller within five (5) days following the date of Seller’s order acceptance notice. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, all prices are exclusive of any sales, use, revenue or excise tax, import duty (including brokerage fees) or other tax (excepting only taxes based on Seller’s income), fees or other charges of any nature imposed by any public authority (national, state, local or other) applicable to the products and services described in the contract of sale. Such taxes, when applicable, shall be added to the purchase price and be paid by Buyer, unless Buyer delivers to Seller with the purchase order a proper tax exemption certificate acceptable to Seller and the applicable taxing authority.

3. TERMS AND METHOD OF PAYMENT
Unless expressly specified otherwise on the Seller's order acknowledgement, terms of payment shall be T/T Payment In Advance. All payments shall be in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4. TITLE AND DELIVERY
All shipments are made F.C.A.(Incoterms 2000), Seller’s factory, or such other facility designated by Seller. Any exceptions to these shipping terms must be agreed to in writing by Seller.

Seller sole and maximum liability for breach of its warranties herein is limited to the obligation, at Seller's sole discretion to rescreen, reprocess or provide replacement goods, or credit Buyer's account, any goods delivered hereunder which either become defective or fail to meet the applicable specifications during the warranty period and which are found by Seller to be defective under the terms of this warranty, provided that (a) Seller is notified in writing by Buyer within thirty (30) days after discovery of defects or failure to meet Specifications; (b) Buyer obtains a Return Material Authorization form from Seller prior to returning any defective goods to Seller; (c) the defective goods are returned to Seller, transportation charges prepaid by Buyer (provided, however, that if upon examination by Seller, it determines that the goods are entitled to this warranty, then Seller shall be responsible for all transportation charges to and from Seller's facility); (d) the defective goods are received by Seller for adjustment no later than four (4) weeks following the last day of the warranty period; and (e) Seller's examination of such goods shall disclose that such defects or failures have not been caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, improper installation or application, repair, alteration, damage by rain, fire or casualty or by accident or negligence in use, storage, transportation or handling. In addition, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer to the extent such failure is caused by noncompatibility with other components used by Buyer. In the event that any one or more of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied, Seller shall have no liability under this warranty whatsoever. Buyer has an obligation to mitigate any damages related to integration of defective or non-conforming Parts. If Buyer has knowledge that such Parts are defective or non-conforming or Seller has advised Buyer that Parts are defective or non-conforming and in either event Buyer integrates such defective Parts, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any damages incurred by Buyer as a result. In the event that the foregoing exclusive remedy under this warranty is determined upon judicial review to have failed in its essential purpose through no fault of Buyer, the alternate exclusive remedy shall be the refund of the purchase price of the non-conforming or defective goods. Any repairs to or alterations on the goods shipped hereunder must be authorized in writing by Seller to prevent voiding Seller's warranty.
