The Quanex party listed on the face of the Order or Service Order (the “Buyer”) will buy only the goods and quantities specified therein, if any, or as Buyer releases for shipment on specific shipping dates as set forth in Buyer’s releases or purchase order. Acceptance of the Order or Service Order shall be expressly limited to the terms and conditions contained herein, and the Order or Service Order shall be deemed accepted upon written acknowledgement as specified on the face of the Order or the commencement of performance by Seller. Buyer rejects any additional or inconsistent terms and conditions offered by Seller, including any terms or conditions attached to, included in, or accompanying Seller’s invoice, at any time and irrespective of Buyer’s acceptance of or payment for Seller’s items or services. Any provisions printed or otherwise contained in any Seller acknowledgement of the Order, whether consistent with, different, or in addition to the terms and conditions stated herein, and any alteration of the Order, shall have no force or effect. Time is of the essence as to Seller’s performance of services or delivery of goods hereunder.

2. Releases, Shipment:

Seller will ship all goods both in quantities and at the times specified for delivery to and arrival on the applicable due date at the location designated on the face hereof or in Buyer’s written instructions. Seller shall perform all services within the time frame as specified by Buyer within any Service Order. Buyer will have no liability with respect to any goods for which no shipping release or schedule has been given. Buyer may change both the quantities of, and delivery times for, goods previously scheduled for delivery hereunder, including temporary suspensions and postponements, by written notice to Seller at any time prior to shipment. If Seller fails or is unable to deliver any goods at the time herein specified, then unless such failure is specified in paragraph 20, Buyer will direct Seller to deliver such goods by the most expeditious method of transport, including air freight, and Seller will pay or reimburse to Buyer the full cost of such expeditious method of transport.

3. Production Approval, Service Parts:

For the production of the goods herein identified, Seller shall be in compliance with the quality standards required by Buyer.

4. Receipt, Inspection:

Buyer will have the right to inspect and test all goods delivered to the designated plant or other location under any Order. Buyer may accept and retain, reject and/or revoke acceptance of any or all goods, as Buyer elects, which are delivered at the designated location (1) in a quantity which is either less or more than the authorized quantity, (2) either before or after the authorized time or (3) in a condition or manner that fails to conform to any requirement of the Order. Buyer will provide a signed certificate of analysis with the delivery or prior to delivery as specified on the Order or in writing from the Buyer and in accordance with the specification for the goods. Seller will pay to Buyer all handling, sorting, packing, transportation and other expenses which Buyer incurs in connection with any goods returned pursuant to this paragraph 4 and, if Buyer elects to retain any goods not conforming to any requirement of the Order, the cost of correcting the nonconforming condition. For purposes of this paragraph 4, transportation costs in connection with goods returned to Seller will include the cost to transport to both the designated location and back to Seller’s plant. Buyer, by failing to inspect the goods, shall not be deemed to have accepted defective goods or goods which do not conform to the applicable drawings, specifications, samples or other descriptions given in all respects; nor shall Buyer, by failing to inspect the goods, be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies arising by virtue of such defects or nonconformance.

Disposition of the request shall be at the Buyer’s sole discretion. Seller will not make any change in the design, physical composition or structure of the goods, any specifications applicable to the goods, or any process used to manufacture the goods or perform services, including any component thereof, without Buyer’s prior written approval.

Seller (including its subsidiaries, affiliates and agents) shall comply with all applicable customs, export control, economic sanctions and related requirements in the United States and the other jurisdictions where it operates and shall maintain effective policies and procedures to that effect. Any credits or benefits resulting or arising from the Parties’ agreements, including under any Purchase Orders, including trade credits, export credits or the refund of duties, taxes or fees, shall belong to Buyer. Seller shall provide all information necessary (including written documentation, electronic transaction records, certificates of origin and the correct HTSUS tariff codes) to permit Buyer to receive such benefits or credits, as well as to fulfill its customs-related obligations, including country of origin marking, import valuation, tariff classification, product labeling requirements and local or regional content requirements arising under national customs laws or Free Trade Agreements (“FTAs”), whenever applicable. Where applicable, Seller shall undertake such arrangements as necessary for the goods to be covered by any duty deferral or free trade zone program(s) of the country of import. Additionally, Seller shall be exclusively responsible for obtaining any export licenses or other authorizations necessary for the export of the goods unless otherwise required by applicable law or indicated in writing by the Parties, in which event Seller shall provide any information that Buyer or the relevant governmental authorities may deem necessary to enable Buyer to obtain such licenses or authorization(s).

Seller will include on bills of lading or other shipping receipts the correct tariff classification code as identified under the Harmonized Tariff System of the United State (“HTSUS”), where applicable, and identify all of the goods shipped in accordance with Buyer’s instructions and the carrier’s requirements. The marks on each package and identification of the goods on packing slips, bills of lading and invoices (when required) shall be sufficient to enable Buyer and any U.S. or foreign customs officials to easily identify the goods purchased and the Country of Origin for the same. In the absence of specified packaging instructions, Seller shall adhere to best industry standards for the type of goods and ensure protection of goods from handling and environmental hazards. Seller will reimburse to Buyer all expenses which Buyer incurs as a result of improper packing, routing or shipping.

8. INCOTERMS:

Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Seller shall ship the goods to the Named Place designated by the Buyer on a Delivery Duty Paid (“DDP”) basis as defined in INCOTERMS 2020. This means that title and risk of loss of the goods shall remain with Seller until the goods are delivered at the Named Place specified in the Order, and that Seller shall be solely and exclusively responsible for the entry of goods, filings or import documents, and payment of any customs, duties, tariffs, taxes or other fees required by the relevant government authorities. Seller shall also be solely and exclusively responsible for obtaining and export or import authorizations that may be necessary to complete the sale of the goods. Under no circumstances will the Buyer serve as the Imported of Record for the goods unless explicitly agreed by the Buyer in a signed addendum to these terms and conditions.

9. Hazardous Materials:

If the goods are of an explosive, flammable, toxic or otherwise hazardous nature, then Seller shall hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims asserted against Buyer for personal injury and/or property damage caused by the goods, or by the transportation of the goods, until completion of unloading at the Named Place.

Each invoice will include all information required by other provisions of the Order, including applicable part number and purchase order number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Orders or Service Orders utilizing Buyer’s Evaluated Receipts System (“ERS”) do not require Seller’s physical invoice, and Buyer’s receipt of the goods or services under ERS will trigger payment process pursuant to established payment terms between the parties. Buyer will pay to Seller the purchase price of goods and other charges shown in the applicable invoice in full within the time for payment shown on the face hereof. Seller will not submit an invoice for goods before delivery at the designated location. If Buyer disputes the amount of any invoice or if the invoice contains errors, Buyer may return the invoice to the Seller unpaid, deduct the amount in dispute, and additionally, Buyer may deduct from and set off against any amount due or to become due to Seller hereunder any amount which Seller owes to Buyer under the Order, Service Order or otherwise.
