Buyer Terms & Conditions
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE APPLY TO THE SALE OF SELLER’S GOODS. SELLER’S ACCEPTANCE OF ANY ORDER IS EXPRESSLY MADE CONDITIONAL UPON BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN AND IN SELLER’S SALES ORDER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. SELLER REJECTS ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER CONTAINED IN BUYER’S ORDER FORM OR TRANSMITTED SEPARATELY BEFORE OR AFTER RECEIPT OF GOODS. SELLER WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE IF IT FAILS TO OBJECT TO ANY PROVISION CONTAINED IN BUYER’S FORMS OR OTHERWISE. BUYER’S SILENCE OR ITS ACCEPTANCE OF SELLER’S GOODS CONSTITUTES ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions. “Seller” means ILC Dover LP, Incorporated, a Delaware Corporation, acting through its subsidiary, business unit or affiliate, if any, specified in the Agreement, the Order, or the Sales Order Acknowledgement. “Buyer” means the individual, corporation or other entity that has submitted an Order to Seller. “Order” means Buyer’s express request, whether oral or written, and whether transmitted electronically or otherwise, to purchase Goods from Seller. “Goods” means all of the products and materials that Buyer requested and provided pursuant to an Order.
2. Order Acceptance. Buyer’s Order is subject to acceptance by Seller, which acceptance is made expressly contingent upon Buyer’s agreement to these terms and conditions. Acceptance of an Order is subject to all of the terms set forth herein and contained in Seller’s sales order acknowledgement form (“Acknowledgement Form”), which terms shall constitute the sole terms and conditions of this Order. Buyer’s assent to all such terms and conditions shall be conclusively presumed when Buyer accepts all of any part of the Goods reflected by the Order. Seller objects to any terms or conditions that differ from or are additional to those stated herein or on the Form. This Order can be modified only by written amendment executed by Seller.
3. Prices. All Orders for Goods are subject to minimum order quantities, as determined by Seller from time to time. Prices are subject to change without notice. Blanket order prices are firm for a maximum of ninety (90) days and subject to change thereafter. If there are cost increases between the time of order confirmation and shipment, Seller reserves the right to adjust the sell prices accordingly with notice to Buyer who can then either cancel the order without further obligation or accept the price increase. If any product furnished by Seller becomes subject to sales, use, excise or processing taxes, the Buyer will be liable for these taxes.
4. Payment Terms. Payment shall be made in US Dollars. Payment terms shall be as set forth on the face of the Form and shall be measured from the date of shipment. Failure by Buyer to make full payment by the due date shall constitute a default. In such case, and in addition to any other rights available to Seller at law or in equity, Seller will be entitled to assess interest charges upon Buyer for any overdue amounts (as well as on any judgment for the same). Unless prepaid, all Orders are subject to credit approval by Seller. Whenever reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to due payment from Buyer or with respect to Buyer’s financial condition, Seller may demand different terms of payment from those specified above, and may demand additional assurance of Buyer’s payment. Any such demand may be oral or in writing and Seller may, upon the making of such demand, stop production and suspend shipments hereunder. If within the period stated in such demand, Buyer fails or refuses to agree to such different terms of payment or fails or refuses to give adequate assurance of due payment, Seller may, at its option, treat such failure or refusal as repudiation of the portion of the Order which has not been fully performed or may resume production and may make shipment under reservation of possession or of a security interest and may demand payment against tender of documents of title.
5. Import Duties and Taxes. Import duties and taxes are not included in the price of Goods. Prices do not include Federal taxes, state or local sales taxes, use taxes, occupational taxes or import duties and unless prohibited or otherwise required by law, Buyer is responsible for and shall pay all applicable sales, use, occupation, excise, value added or other similar taxes or import duties applicable to the manufacture, sale, price, delivery or use of Goods provided by Seller, or in lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide Seller with a tax-exemption certificate acceptable to and considered valid by the applicable taxing authorities.
6. Delays. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to fill the Order in accordance with the estimated shipping date, but shall not be responsible for any delays in filling the Order nor liable for any losses or damages resulting from such delays, and the Order shall not be subject to cancellation for such delays.
7. Force Majeure. Seller will not be liable for failure in the performance of its obligations hereunder where such performance has been delayed prevented or rendered commercially impractical due to accidents, differences with workmen, strikes, shortage of labor, inability to obtain materials, fuel or power from normal sources, fires, floods or other acts of God, acts or omissions of Buyer, priorities required, requested or granted for the benefit of any Federal or state government, restrictions imposed by Federal or any state legislation or regulations thereunder, or any cause whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated, beyond the reasonable control of Seller.
8. Returns and Rejections. Buyer must contact Seller within ten (10) business days of receipt of Goods for rejection or revocation of delivery to obtain a returns authorization number for any returns, or any attempted rejection or revocation of acceptance of such Goods made thereafter shall be null and void unless agreed to in writing by Seller. Buyer items returned without prior contact with Seller may not be properly identified and this may either prolong or nullify a refund. Under no circumstances shall any Goods be returned by Buyer, to Seller, without a Certification stipulating that the Goods have not been exposed to known carcinogens, toxic, hazardous or biological materials. Any credit will be processed upon receipt and inspection of the Goods. Return of stock Goods are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Custom or special ordered Goods are not returnable. Failure to make claim within ten (10) business days of Goods delivery shall be conclusive evidence that the Goods were satisfactory in all respects and supplied in accordance with ordered specifications.
9. Equipment. (a) Any equipment (including jigs, fixtures, dies and tools) which Seller constructs or acquires for use in the production of Goods for Buyer shall be and remain Seller’s property and in Seller’s possession and control and will be maintained by Seller for a period of two (2) years from the date of last Order. (b) Any materials or equipment owned or furnished by Buyer to Seller will be carefully handled and stored by Seller while in Seller’s possession and, when for two (2) consecutive years, no Orders acceptable to Seller are received from Buyer for Goods to be made from any such equipment or materials, Seller may by written notice to Buyer, request Buyer to make disposition thereof at Buyer’s expense. If Buyer fails to comply with such notice, Seller may make such use or disposition of said materials or equipment as it desires without liability or obligation to Buyer.
10. Warranty. Seller warrants to Buyer that the Goods at the time of shipment to Buyer hereunder, (a) will conform to the specifications on the face of the Form; (b) that it will convey good title thereto and that such Goods will be delivered free from any lawful security interest or other lien or encumbrance unknown to Buyer; and (c) that such Goods will be free from defects in material and workmanship.

Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer against all court-awarded damages and costs resulting from any third party claim of infringement of a United States Patent covering Goods (but not use of Goods) at the time of delivery by Seller to Buyer. Buyer agrees, for the Goods delivered under the Order, to indemnify Seller against all court-awarded damages (excluding consequential damages) and costs resulting from any third party claim of infringement of a United States Patent to the extent that such infringement arises from (i) designs, specifications or instructions furnished or explicitly or implicitly required by Buyer or (ii) Buyer’s use of the Goods. The parties agree to provide information and reasonable assistance to each other, upon request, to the extent such information and assistance are required by such party to defend against any infringement claim arising under this clause. Neither party shall be entitled to indemnification under this clause as to any claim of infringement if it does not provide the other party prompt notice in writing upon learning thereof and full opportunity, at the expense of such other party, to defend and dispose of such claim of infringement. The sale of Goods covered by the Order shall not grant to Buyer any right or license of any kind under any patent owned or controlled by Seller or under which Seller is licensed, but the foregoing shall not be understood to limit in any way Buyer’s right to use and sell such Goods, in the event that such Goods as sold hereunder are covered by any such patent.
12. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Seller may be acting hereunder on its own behalf or as an agent for any one or more persons subsidiary to or affiliated with Seller.

15. Termination of Order. Buyer may not terminate the Order without the written consent of Seller.
