    • Parties: The term “Seller” refers to the addressee set forth on the face of P.A.R.T.S purchase order, and the term “P.A.R.T.S” refers to Parts and Repair Technical Services INC., incorporated in the State of Florida, with it’s business operation located at 1865 Corporate Drive, Suite 225, Norcross, Georgia 30093-2972.
    • Scope: The following terms and conditions apply to all Parts and Repair Technical Services, Inc. purchase orders, in addition to any terms set forth on the face of an individual purchase order or in any plans, specifications or other documents incorporated by reference (each, collectively, an “Order”). Acceptance by P.A.R.T.S of any offer from Seller is expressly limited to the terms and conditions of the Order, and P.A.R.T.S hereby objects to and shall not be bound by any additional, different or conflicting terms, whether printed or otherwise, in any other communication between the parties (including on any of Seller’s forms, letter or papers), it being understood that the terms and conditions of the Order shall prevail notwithstanding any such additional, different or conflicting terms.
    • Acceptance and Limitations: The Order shall be deemed accepted by Seller on the earlier of (a) executing the “acknowledgement copy” of the purchase order by returning it to the Buyer, or (b) shipment of goods or rendering of services ordered, in total or in part, or (c) within 24 hours of issuance by P.A.R.T.S, absent written notification to P.A.R.T.S of non-acceptance.
    • Changes: P.A.R.T.S may make changes to the Order at any time and Seller shall accept such changes. If a change by P.A.R.T.S causes an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for Seller’s performance, as soon as practicable, the parties shall agree to an equitable adjustment of the purchase price and/or delivery schedule, as applicable, and incorporate such changes as a revision change to the Order. No other form of notification or verbal agreement shall be binding on P.A.R.T.S.
    • Termination for Convenience: P.A.R.T.S may, by written notice to Seller, terminate the Order, or any part thereof, for any or no reason, for P.A.R.T.S convenience. Upon notice of termination, Seller shall immediately stop all work and cause its suppliers and/or subcontractors to stop all work in connection with the Order. If P.A.R.T.S terminates for convenience, P.A.R.T.S shall pay Seller for goods and services accepted as of the date of termination, and, subject to Section 8, for Seller’s actual, reasonable, out of pocket costs incurred directly as a result of such termination. P.A.R.T.S shall have no responsibility for work performed after Seller’s receipt of notice of termination.
    • Termination for Cause: P.A.R.T.S may, by written notice to Seller, terminate the Order, or any part thereof, if Seller breaches any of the terms and conditions of the Order, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy protection. By way of example, (a) failure by Seller to make timely, complete and conforming delivery of goods and services, or (b) breach of the representations or warranties set forth in the Order, shall entitle P.A.R.T.S to terminate the Order for cause. If P.A.R.T.S terminates for cause, P.A.R.T.S shall have no payment obligations to Seller. Should a court of competent jurisdiction subsequently determine that P.A.R.T.S termination for cause was wrongful or unjustified, and then such termination shall be automatically considered a termination for convenience under Section 5 and Seller shall have all rights under that provision, but no other rights or claims for damages. Buyer may cancel any Order not received within (30) thirty days of agreed upon delivery date and shall be entitled to a full refund.
    • Damages: Without limiting P.A.R.T.S rights and remedies at law or in equity, P.A.R.T.S reserves the right to charge Seller for any loss, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or damage sustained as a result of Seller’s failure to deliver conforming goods or services or other breach of the Order, including without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with P.A.R.T.S purchase of substitute goods, incidental damages and consequential damages resulting from Seller’s failure or breach.
    • Limitation of P.A.R.T.S Liability: P.A.R.T.S shall not be liable to Seller, its employees, representatives, agents, suppliers, or subcontractors for any anticipated profits or incidental damages (except to the extent expressly provided in Section 5) or consequential damages. Without limiting the foregoing, P.A.R.T.S liability for any claim arising directly or indirectly under or in connection with the Order shall in no event exceed the cost of the goods or services giving rise to the claim. P.A.R.T.S shall have no liability for penalties of any kind.
    • Packing and Shipment: Deliveries shall be made as specified, without additional charge for boxing, crating, carting, and storage unless otherwise specified. Contracted Products shall be suitably packaged to secure the lowest transportation costs and in accordance with the requirements of common carriers and to be packaged to ensure against damage from weather or transportation. P.A.R.T.S’s Purchase Order and symbols must be plainly marked on all packages, bill of lading and shipping orders. Packing Lists will accompany each shipment listing contained products. P.A.R.T.S’s count or weight shall be final and conclusive on shipments not accompanied by a packing list.
    • Freight Charges: Except as expressly provided in the Order, packing, shipping, unloading, assembling and installation are included in the purchase price set forth in the Order and P.A.R.T.S shall not be charged any additional amounts for such services.

Shipment and delivery shall be made in accordance with the Order; provided, that if not addressed in the Order, delivery shall be made within fifteen (15) days of P.A.R.T.S issuance of the Order. P.A.R.T.S may, at its option, and without limitation of any of its other rights, cancel any unfilled part of the Order if complete, conforming delivery is not made within the times specified. P.A.R.T.S is not required to accept partial or incomplete delivery. Acceptance of any part of the Order shall not bind P.A.R.T.S to accept any future shipments.
    • Inspection: P.A.R.T.S shall have the right to inspect and test all goods and/or services delivered under the Order. Neither receipt nor payment for goods and/or services shall constitute acceptance. P.A.R.T.S may reject any or all items that are nonconforming, as determined by P.A.R.T.S sole reasonable judgment. P.A.R.T.S failure to inspect shall not relieve Seller of any of its responsibilities. Material shipped in quantities in excess of P.A.R.T.S stated requirements may be returned at Seller’s expense. If goods are rejected, they will be held at Seller’s risk and expense and Seller shall bear the risk of loss or damage to such goods until received by Seller.

With respect to services, Seller warrants that all services shall be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner, with a degree of skill and care consistent with current, good and sound professional procedures. Neither receipt of material, work product or merchandise nor payment therefore shall constitute a waiver of this provision. If a breach of warranty occurs, P.A.R.T.S may, in its sole discretion, and without waiving any other rights, return for credit or require prompt correction or replacement of the nonconforming goods or services. Seller has 72 hours to respond with corrective action and 10 business days to complete order.
    • Intellectual Property Indemnity: Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold P.A.R.T.S harmless against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including legal fees) resulting from or arising in connection with any actual or claimed infringement of any patent, copyright, mask work, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property, proprietary or contractual right of any third party, with respect to the goods or services provided under the Order.
    • Use of P.A.R.T.S Name: Seller agrees not to use (a) P.A.R.T.S name, (b) the name of any employee, student or agent of P.A.R.T.S, or (c) any trademarks, service marks or trade names owned or controlled by P.A.R.T.S, in any sales, promotional, advertising or other publication, without the express prior written permission of P.A.R.T.S.

Except as expressly provided in the Order, payment shall not be due until final acceptance by P.A.R.T.S.  P.A.R.T.S shall have the right to reduce and set off against amounts payable under the Order any indebtedness or other claim which P.A.R.T.S may have against Seller, however and whenever arising.
    • Discount Terms: If cash discounts are offered and identified, such discount periods will be computed from the date of delivery of the goods or services ordered; or the date of P.A.R.T.S receipt of a correct and proper invoice, whichever is later.

    • Conflict of Interest:
      a. Buyer’s policy requires avoidance of real or apparent conflict of interest.
