Sale Terms & Conditions

General. Capitalized terms are defined below. Unless other terms are specified in the Quote, which terms shall control over any conflicting terms, the following General Terms and Conditions of Sale (this “Agreement”) will govern the offer and sale of all Equipment and Services provided by Seller to Buyer. Any terms and conditions of sale (other than the economic terms) that may be contained in any Order provided by Buyer will be without force and effect, regardless of when received by Seller. Likewise, any brochures or illustrations relating to the Equipment that Seller provides to Buyer are not considered binding unless they are explicitly referred to as binding within the Quote. By placing an Order, Buyer accepts this Agreement, and the sale and delivery by Seller of the Equipment and Services will be conclusively presumed to be subject to this Agreement.

Unless otherwise specified in the Quote, all lasers are Laser Class 4 products. (c) “Order” means a purchase order or any other form with the same purpose as a purchase order provided by Buyer to Seller in response to the Quote. (d) “Quote” means the offer sent by Seller to Buyer in response to Buyer’s request for a quote, which shall be governed by this Agreement, even if the Quote does not reference this Agreement.

(b) If, in the judgment of Seller, the financial condition of Buyer at any time prior to delivery does not justify the terms of payment specified, Seller may require payment in advance, payment security satisfactory to Seller, or may terminate the Order, whereupon Seller shall be entitled to receive reasonable cancellation charges. If delivery is delayed by Buyer, the Equipment shall be deemed delivered on the date Seller is prepared to make delivery. Delays in delivery or nonconformities in any installments delivered shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining installments. (c) If Buyer is late making any payment hereunder, Buyer shall pay, in addition to any overdue payment, (i) a late charge equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) per month or any part thereof or the highest applicable rate allowed by law on all such overdue amounts, and (ii) Seller’s attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in connection with collection.

(d) Seller may, at its expense, make such changes in the Equipment or Services as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to conform the Equipment or Services to the applicable specifications.
