1. Offer and Acceptance

Tenrehte Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TENREHTE”) offers to sell and deliver products in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Acceptance of this offer is expressly limited to such terms. TENREHTE hereby objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Buyer, including those contained in Buyer’s purchase order, unless TENREHTE expressly agrees to such terms in writing.

2. Prices and Releases

TENREHTE’s price in effect at the time TENREHTE receives Buyer’s purchase order shall continue to apply if the quantity ordered is released by TENREHTE within three (3) months and shipments are scheduled within six (6) months. Otherwise, TENREHTE’s price in effect on the actual release date for the quantity actually shipped shall apply.

If the price of fuels, metals, raw materials, equipment or other production costs increases significantly, TENREHTE shall have the right and Buyer shall have the obligation to renegotiate the price of all products not yet shipped, and if an agreement is not reached, TENREHTE shall have the right to terminate this contract without liability.

1. Accuracy of Information

To the extent TENREHTE provides product information, TENREHTE attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, TENREHTE does not warrant the accuracy of product descriptions, product price, product availability or other information on its websites, sales brochures, or other matter as accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Furthermore, in the event that a product is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price, TENREHTE reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for such products, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed or Buyer is charged. If Buyer has already been charged for the purchase and Buyer’s order is cancelled, arrangements will be made to issue a credit to Buyer in the amount of the incorrect price.

3. Title and Delivery

Shipments inside the U.S. shall be delivered FOB TENREHTE’s shipping dock. Shipments outside the U.S. shall be delivered FCA (Incoterms 2000) TENREHTE’s shipping dock. Title and liability for loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon TENREHTE’s delivery to Buyer’s designated carrier. Any subsequent loss or damage shall not relieve Buyer from its obligations. Buyer shall reimburse TENREHTE for insurance and transportation costs on international shipments and shall be responsible for all import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred or licenses or clearances required. TENREHTE may deliver products in installments. Delivery dates are estimates. TENREHTE shall not be liable for any damage, losses or expenses incurred by Buyer if TENREHTE fails to meet the estimated delivery dates.

4. Payment Terms

1. If TENREHTE extends credit to Buyer, payment terms shall be net thirty (30) days after TENREHTE’s invoice. TENREHTE may change or withdraw credit amounts or payment terms at any time for any reason. If the products are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the above payment terms. If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, TENREHTE may suspend or cancel performance under any agreements in which TENREHTE has extended credit to Buyer. TENREHTE’s suspension of performance may result in rescheduling delays. If, in TENREHTE’s judgment, Buyer’s financial condition does not justify the payment terms specified herein, then TENREHTE may terminate this contract unless Buyer immediately pays for all products that have been delivered and pays in advance for all products to be delivered. Termination in accordance with this clause shall not affect TENREHTE’s right to pursue any other available remedies.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Buyer fails to make any payment when due, TENREHTE will add a service charge at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, to unpaid invoices from the due date thereof.
3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Buyer fails to make any payment when due, TENREHTE will add a service charge at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, to unpaid invoices from the due date thereof. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if TENREHTE retains a collection agency or attorney to collect unpaid amounts, TENREHTE may invoice Buyer for, and Buyer will pay, all reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees.
4. Buyer may make a direct bank (“wire”) transfer. Wire transfers must be complete before a Buyer’s order can be released.

Wire transfers or credit card payments may incur additional time to process and service the Buyer’s order.
6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, remittances will be received by a bank simply as clearing agency. The receiving bank has no authority to determine whether or not the amount remitted constitutes payment in full. Remittances marked to indicate payment in full will be deposited by the bank not with standing such markings and such deposit shall not indicate TENREHTE’s acceptance of the remittance as payment in full unless the remittance actually constitutes payment of all sums owed.

5. Taxes

Prices do not include applicable taxes or duties. Buyer is solely responsible for paying all applicable taxes and duties. TENREHTE will add sales taxes to the sales price where required by applicable law, and Buyer will pay such taxes unless Buyer provides TENREHTE with a duly executed sales tax exemption certificate. If Buyer is required by law to withhold any amount of tax from its payment to TENREHTE, Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to the appropriate tax authority and take all reasonable steps to minimize such withholding tax.

6. Contingencies

TENREHTE shall not be in breach of this contract and shall not be liable for any non-performance or delay in performance if such non-performance or delay is due to a force majeure event or other circumstances beyond TENREHTE’s reasonable control, including but not limited to, shortages of labor, energy, fuel, machinery or materials, technical or yield failures, war, civil unrest, any government act, law or regulation, including any judicial order or decree, any communication or power failure, labor dispute, natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, terrorist act or Act of God.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any such use of TENREHTE products which TENREHTE has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer’s risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.

TENREHTE products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TENREHTE products are designated by TENREHTE as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements.

Buyer represents that it has all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of its applications, and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products and any use of TENREHTE products in Buyer’s applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TENREHTE.
