Provisions below that apply only to certain types of goods (e.g., provisions relating to printed orders) only apply to the extent, if any, such provisions are applicable to Goods sold to Purchaser.

1. TIME.

All orders are subject to: (i) credit approval; (ii) rejection or modification due to required delivery date or raw material availability; and (iii) minimum order quantities.

Any delivery date stated in a quotation or otherwise is based on Purchaser’s timely compliance with KCooper Brands, Inc.'s credit approval requirements and timely receipt of a P.O. and complete specifications as well as any necessary export documents and authorizations; any delay will result in delays in shipment.

​

If Purchaser is an existing customer currently purchasing Goods at a certain price, KCooper Brands, Inc. may change its prices at any time upon 30 days’ written notice or upon 10 days’ written notice in case of a sudden severe increase in materials prices or other costs. Any temporary surcharge imposed by KCooper Brands, Inc.'s suppliers will be passed on to Purchaser during whatever period of time such surcharge might be in effect. Price increases for components purchased by KCooper Brands, Inc. on Purchaser’s behalf for inclusion in finished Goods shall be passed on to Purchaser without advance notice and due immediately without regard to Purchaser’s payment terms or standard payment terms in section 3 below.

 

Unless otherwise agreed, prices do not include:(i) printing plates; (ii) art charges; (iii) colors; (iv) labeling; (v) silk screening; (vi) co-packing; (viii) metalizing; (ix) skids; (x) freight; (xi) warehousing; (xii) brokerage fees; (xiii) upcharges for less than minimum orders or additional services and similar items; (xiv) any applicable excise, value-added, sales, use or similar taxes; or (xv) insurance.

KCooper Brands, Inc. reserves the right to: (i) increase quantity ordered to nearest standard shipping unit; (ii) ship Purchaser or end user specific manufactured Goods within a range of plus or minus ten percent (10%); or (iii) both. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the parties, all shipments are F.O.B.

​

3. PAYMENT.

A. Payment terms are net 30 days from date of invoice in the currency designated by KCooper Brands, Inc. on open accounts to Purchasers with current approved credit unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. KCooper Brands, Inc. shall not be bound to extend credit: (i) prior to Purchaser’s compliance with credit requirements, including KCooper Brands, Inc.'s approval of a signed credit application or (ii) because it has previously done so for Purchaser or others similarly situated. If Purchaser’s purchases of Goods are made through a broker, distributor, wholesaler, filler or other intermediary (“Intermediary”), references herein to “Purchaser” shall include such Intermediary as necessary to the context and Purchaser agrees that KCooper Brands, Inc. shall be entitled to make credit decisions concerning sales to the Intermediary in KCooper Brands, Inc.'s discretion and may refuse to make sales on credit as it determines in its discretion. KCooper Brands, Inc. to the extent necessary to protect its interest in receiving payment for Goods, shall be a third party beneficiary of any purchase contract between the Intermediary and Purchaser. If KCooper Brands, Inc. makes sales of Goods to the Intermediary as an accommodation to Purchaser, Purchaser shall remain liable to KCooper Brands, Inc. for the cost of Goods sold to the extent that the Intermediary fails or refuses to pay KCooper Brands, Inc. for such Goods; Purchaser waives all suretyship defenses. In the event that Purchaser renders payment to KCooper Brands, Inc. and/or its agent in a manner purported by Purchaser to serve as payment in full of an invoice, KCooper Brands, Inc. and/or its agent’s acceptance of such payment (i) shall not act as an accord and satisfaction and (ii) shall be without prejudice to KCooper Brands, Inc.'s right to pursue additional payment of such invoice. Purchaser shall not have the right of set off unless so agreed in writing by KCooper Brands, Inc. If any payment is past due, KCooper Brands, Inc. may impose a service charge of the lesser of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law or 2% per month and may hold or cease shipments of Goods. Any amounts charged to a credit card are subject to a convenience fee of 3.5%. Purchaser agrees to pay KCooper Brands, Inc.'s attorney’s fees and expenses and other collection costs in the event collection or other enforcement efforts become necessary or appropriate in KCooper Brands, Inc.'s discretion. In addition, KCooper Brands, Inc. shall have the right to terminate this sale, to stop Goods in transit, and to suspend further performance under these terms and conditions and/or other agreements with Purchaser in the event Purchaser fails to make any payment when due, which other agreements Purchaser and KCooper Brands, Inc. hereby amend accordingly.

​

B. Purchaser agrees that each issuance of a P.O. constitutes a representation that it is solvent and is not presently a debtor in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. In the event of insolvency, KCooper Brands, Inc.'s invoice shall constitute a demand for reclamation of the Goods identified on the invoice under UCC section 2-702 and United States Bankruptcy Code section 546(c). Purchaser:

(i) agrees to promptly notify KCooper Brands, Inc. in case of insolvency;

(ii) waives any defenses to KCooper Brands, Inc.'s right of reclamation to the Goods identified in KCooper Brands, Inc.'s invoice; and

(iii) shall promptly return possession of such Goods to KCooper Brands, Inc.

​

4. CANCELLATIONS/CLAIMS/RETURNS.

Purchaser will be responsible to pay the full P.O. price if Goods are manufactured in response to a P.O. cancelled by Purchaser (without KCooper Brands, Inc.'s fault) prior to shipment. Purchaser shall make prompt inspection of Goods. Rejection of alleged nonconforming Goods must be made in writing 30 days after delivery for non conformities reasonably discoverable on inspection, and three (3) months after delivery for latent non conformities; after that time Goods will be deemed accepted and not subject to revocation of acceptance. Failure by Purchaser to give such written notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of Purchaser’s claim for such defects. Purchaser will give KCooper Brands, Inc. reasonable opportunity to examine and test Goods that are the basis for any claim. As a condition for replacement, refund or credit, KCooper Brands, Inc. may request the return of alleged nonconforming Goods in the same condition as when received, except such part as cannot be returned due to necessary testing. On request, Purchaser shall also return, if possible, tested Goods. No claim against KCooper Brands, Inc. shall be made or allowed for Goods returned without KCooper Brands, Inc.'s prior written consent. All claims for loss or damage during transit must be made against the carrier and by notation on freight bill or delivery receipt. All returns of other than nonconforming Goods must be: (i) approved in advance by KCooper Brands, Inc. (ii) of Goods in new condition and not printed or special; (iii) made within 90 days; (iv) shipped at Purchaser’s expense; and (v) accompanied by or subject to a twenty-five percent (25%) restocking charge. Credits (other than those for overpayments) expire 180 days after issuance.

​

5. INVENTORY.

If KCooper Brands, Inc. has agreed to retain an inventory or safety stock of Goods, KCooper Brands, Inc.'s obligation to produce Goods for inventory shall be subject to Purchaser’s continued compliance with this Agreement including timely payment and the responsibility to provide an accurate forecast and comply with applicable lead-times. In the event any item of Goods is discontinued or changed by Purchaser, Purchaser shall purchase and pay for all such Goods that have been manufactured and raw materials for open purchase orders for such Goods. In the event any Goods are maintained in inventory for more than ninety (90) days, Purchaser will either purchase such Goods or order the Goods scrapped and pay the purchase price as if such Goods had been purchased (and KCooper Brands, Inc. will retain the scrap) and, in such cases, payment will be due immediately at the end of the 90 day period without regard to Purchaser’s payment terms or standard payment terms above in section 3.

D. GOODS AND SERVICES SOLD HEREUNDER ARE NEITHER FOR USE IN ANY NUCLEAR OR RELATED APPLICATIONS, NOR FOR USE AS COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS INTENDED FOR SURGICAL IMPLANT INTO THE BODY OR INTENDED TO SUPPORT OR SUSTAIN LIFE, WITHOUT KCOOPER BRANDS, INC.'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT. Purchaser accepts the Goods with the foregoing understanding, agrees to communicate the same in writing to any subsequent purchasers or users and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless KCooper Brands, Inc. from any claims, losses, suits, judgments and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, arising from such use, whether the cause of action is based in tort, contract or otherwise, including allegations that KCooper Brands, Inc.'s liability is based on negligence or strict liability.

 

14. MISCELLANEOUS.

KCooper Brands, Inc. may terminate the Agreement immediately on Purchaser’s bankruptcy or other insolvency.
