No transfer of ownership of any information provided by Seller to Buyer shall take place pursuant to fulfillment of the Contract.
3. DRAWINGS AND DESIGNS; PERMISSIVE VARIATIONS
   Selection, application and design of machines, Equipment, tools, accessories, options and auxiliary equipment shall be based upon information furnished by Buyer. Buyer shall make available to Seller in a timely manner all information reasonably necessary for Seller to complete the work specified in the Contract, including drawings, diagrams, specifications of all electrical, mechanical and structural interfaces, and shall promptly answer in writing all inquires for information that Seller deems necessary from time to time to perform Seller’s obligations under the Contract.

4. PRICE; PAYMENT TERMS
   All payment terms are subject to Seller’s credit approval at the time of acknowledgment and again, prior to shipment of the Equipment. Payments are due upon Buyer’s receipt of an invoice from Seller or in the event that the payment terms are set forth in the Contract, as of the specific date listed on the applicable payment schedule in the Contract. Payment is non-refundable unless Seller unable to process the order for any reason within (i) three hundred-sixty-five (365) days from the delivery date or (ii) five hundred-forty-seven (547) days from the payment of the initial deposit which comes first.
   If Buyer requests that the Equipment availability date and/or scheduled date for shipment be extended or otherwise changed, such request shall be considered to be a Buyer-proposed Contract change and shall be addressed as set forth in Section 5. Change Orders. Once the Equipment is near completion and/or is ready for preparation for Demonstration and shipment and/or Demonstration is delayed by any act or omission of Buyer beyond the scheduled date, Buyer shall pay any amounts that are due under the Contract upon notification to Buyer that the Equipment is ready for, and/or prior to, shipment, or any similarly worded language, within fourteen (14) days after the originally scheduled delivery date regardless of whether delivery has occurred. If the scheduled Equipment ‘start-up and commissioning’ or any other on-site services, if included in the scope of work to be provided to Buyer by Seller, is delayed by any act or omission of Buyer beyond the scheduled date then final payment of all amounts due from Buyer as set forth in the Contract shall be due thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled shipment date.
   Time is of the essence with respect to all payments. Payments that are outstanding more than ten (10) days from their respective due date shall bear an interest rate of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) annually) until fully paid, including any interest accruing thereon. If the rate of interest stated in the preceding sentence exceeds the maximum rate of interest that the applicable state law allows, then the rate of interest that will be accrued shall be at the applicable state maximum.  In the event Buyer does not pay within the terms of the Contract, all collection costs incurred by Seller, including attorneys’ fees will be paid by Buyer.
   Payment for the sale of Equipment furnished under the Contract shall not be subject to offset, deduction or back charges by Buyer. Any sums that have been deducted by Buyer in violation of this paragraph shall be considered overdue and are subject to the above interest charge and collection costs.
   The price set forth in the Contract and all payments due to Seller from Buyer shall be in the lawful currency of the United States of America unless otherwise set forth in the Contract.
   Unless otherwise set forth in the Contract the terms of payment for international transactions shall be as follows: A deposit in an amount specified by Seller shall be paid via wire-transfer upon placement of order (“Initial Deposit”) and the balance of the total purchase price shall be paid upon Seller’s notification to Buyer that the Equipment is being readied for international shipment. If a letter of credit is to be used to cover any payments, Buyer shall open, in favor of Seller, an irrevocable, documentary Letter of Credit in the amount equal to those payments in the specific form and format described in Seller’s letter of credit instructions incorporated into the Contract by attachment or reference. The minimum requirements for any such letter of credit are that it must be payable “at sight” at the counters of Seller’s bank in the Sri Lanka, it must allow for confirmation by Seller’s bank, it must allow partial shipments and partial draws from any point of origin, it must allow trans-shipment and it must specify that bank charges in addition to those charges by Seller’s bank shall be payable by the Buyer. If the letter of credit is advised or in any way processed by additional banks other than Buyer’s original issuing bank and Seller’s specified advising bank, Buyer shall be responsible for any fees charged by such additional banks. In the event that Buyer elects to use an issuing bank with which Seller’s bank does not have a corresponding relationship, Seller reserves the right to require payment by wire-transfer in lieu of acceptance of a letter of credit. The letter of credit shall specify the latest date of shipment for the Equipment to be at least sixty (60) days after the estimated delivery time indicated in the Contract and shall remain valid for at least sixty (60) days beyond the latest date of shipment. The letter of credit shall not require any documentation for collection other than those specified and agreed upon by the Seller. The Buyer agrees to have its issuing bank forward a draft version of the letter of credit to Seller for its review and approve prior to issuance of the final version.
5. CHANGE ORDERS
   Changes to the design, specifications, scope of supply, delivery schedule, Equipment demonstration site or date, shipping instructions of the Equipment or any material term of the Contract, may only be made upon execution by Buyer and Seller (i) in writing (collectively, “Change Order”) or (ii) in email or (iii) in social media platform. Such Change Order shall state the parties’ agreement on (i) change in the specifications, designs, scope of work, delivery schedule or shipping instructions for the Equipment, (ii) an adjustment to the purchase price, and (iii) an adjustment in the date of shipment of the Equipment and/or the period of performance. Both parties agree and acknowledge that unless a Change Order is agreed by both parties, the Contract shall not be modified in any manner.

6. DEFAULT; CANCELLATION/REMEDIES
   If Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, failure to make payments as provided in Section 4 or otherwise, or if Buyer fails to promptly give reasonable assurances of future performance when requested by Seller, then Seller may, upon five (5) days’ written notice to Buyer, declare Buyer to be in default and Seller may suspend performance of its obligations hereunder without liability and retain all rights and remedies Seller may possess at law, in equity and/or as provided in these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

If an order, or portion thereof, for Equipment considered by Seller to be non-standard Equipment, i.e. built to Buyer specifications or otherwise customized, is cancelled for any reason, other than (a) default by Seller or (b) Force Majeure, then Seller reserves the right to charge Buyer up to 100% of the price of the cancelled non-standard Equipment.
7. TAXES, PERMITS, FEES, LAWS
   Unless expressly stated in Seller’s invoice, Quotation or the Contract, the purchase price for the Equipment furnished hereunder excludes all governmental or brokerage taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments. Seller may elect to add any such taxes, duties, fees, charges or assessments to the invoice amount payable to Seller by Buyer. Buyer must provide to Seller in advance of the shipment of the Equipment documentation in a form and substance acceptable to Seller of any exemptions claimed from taxes, duties, permits, fees, charges or assessments. Except to the extent expressly assumed by Seller, Buyer shall secure and pay for all permits and fees necessary for the delivery and installation of the Equipment.
   It is Buyer’s duty to ascertain that the Equipment proposed by Seller and its subsequent installation and use is in accordance with applicable local laws, statues, ordinances and building codes (“laws”).

8. SELLER’S PERFORMANCE DATES; DELIVERY TERMS; TITLE; RISK OF LOSS; PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTEREST
   The scheduled dates for demonstration, testing, shipment and/or commissioning of the Equipment are estimates based on production loading at the time of Contract and may be set forth as a range of weeks or months after receipt of order, initial deposit and timely supply by Buyer of necessary information, acceptable to Seller required for the manufacturer of the Equipment. Delays in receipt of Buyer’s approval or request for changes may result in additional time being required for the Equipment to be available at Seller’s discretion without liability. The dates for completion of product are subject to revision based upon the results of design review and testing. Seller reserves the right to reschedule shipment and the associated equipment until the product meets the product specifications and dimensional requirements. Seller is not responsible for any actual, incidental or consequential damages arising by reason of any delay or reschedule in delivery. Upon notification to Buyer from Seller that Equipment is ready for shipment, Buyer must promptly meet all of its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to making any required payments, shipping arrangements, site and installation preparations and requirements and/or all other obligations noted in the Contract and acknowledgment.
   Partial shipments shall be allowed however Buyer understands and agrees that the Contract price is based upon Seller shipping all Equipment when it is completed by Seller. If multiple or partial shipments are required by Buyer, Buyer must notify Seller in advance of such requirement. If multiple or partial shipments are requested or are necessary because of acts or omissions on the part of Buyer, then Seller reserves the right to adjust the price to reflect any additional costs that Seller may incur as a result of such multiple or partial shipments.
   Title and risk of loss to the Equipment for all purposes shall pass to Buyer upon the earlier of (i) acceptance of the Equipment by Buyer in Seller’s factory as set forth in Section 13 or (ii) Delivery as defined above.
9. DELAYS, FORCE MAJEURE; SUSPENSIONS
   If Seller is delayed at any time by the acts or omissions of Buyer, Buyer’s agents, subcontractors or material suppliers, Change Orders, or by any Force Majeure defined below then the period of performance shall automatically be extended to accommodate Seller’s revised engineering and production schedules, material purchases and/or labor remobilization.
   “Force Majeure” means circumstances beyond the respective party’s reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of public enemies, wars, other hostilities, blockades, insurrections, riots, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, floods, unavailability of components or supplies, lightning, fire, storms, earthquakes, severe weather, blizzard, washouts, arrests, restraints of rulers and people, civil disturbances, acts of any governmental or local authority, and any other acts and causes, not within the control of the party claiming excuse from performance, which by the exercise of due diligence and reasonable commercial effort, that party shall not have been able to foresee, avoid or overcome.

   If either party in good faith is rendered wholly or partially unable by Force Majeure conditions to carry out its obligations under the Contract, or if Seller’s supplier is unable to provide Equipment or materials, and if that party gives prompt written notice and full particulars of such Force Majeure condition to the other party, that party shall be excused from performance of its obligations during the continuance of any such inability. Such cause shall be remedied to the extent possible with all reasonable speed, and with all reasonable commercial efforts, and notice shall be given when the cause is remedied.
   Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-part (c), if performance by a party is precluded or restrained by Force Majeure for more than three hundred-sixty-five (365) days from the onset of the underlying Force Majeure event, either party may terminate the Contract upon written notice to the other. Seller reserves the right to suspend, without any liability to or recourse from Buyer, all or part of the services to be performed hereunder (including the commissioning and shipment of Equipment) during any period when, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, the health and/or safety of Seller and/or its subcontractors’ personnel performing any such service could be jeopardized.
10. SOURCE OF EQUIPMENT
