TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. SCOPE
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these terms and conditions of sale shall apply to all quotations and offers made by and purchase orders accepted by SemiLEDs Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (“SemiLEDs”) and its affiliates and subsidiaries. In these terms and conditions of sale, SemiLEDs or its affiliate or subsidiary making the quotation or offer or accepting the purchase order is referred to as the “Seller”, and the party to whom the quotation, offer or order confirmation is addressed is referred to as “Buyer”. The obligations under this agreement run between the Seller and the Buyer, and not between Buyer and any other affiliate or subsidiary of SemiLEDs (or SemiLEDs if an affiliate or subsidiary is the Seller). While Seller may confirm acceptance or acknowledge receipt of a purchase order issued by Buyer, any terms and conditions in any Buyer documentation, preprinted or otherwise, that are in addition to or different from these terms and conditions of sale or the applicable Seller quotation, offer or order confirmation are hereby objected to and rejected by Seller. If a contract is not earlier formed by mutual agreement in writing, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions of sale by acceptance of products or services furnished by Seller pursuant hereto.
2. PRICES
Except as otherwise agreed in writing, the applicable prices shall be those prices on the applicable Seller quotation, offer or order confirmation. Seller’s prices exclude, and Buyer shall be responsible for, all present or future taxes, duties or levies of whatever nature arising out of or in connection with this agreement, including the sale, delivery, ownership, or use of the products, but excluding taxes based on Seller’s net income. If Buyer asserts that any transaction under this agreement is tax exempt, Buyer shall provide to Seller a tax or levy exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing or levying authority. All prices and other terms are subject to correction for typographical or clerical errors.
3. DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, sales are EXW Seller’s manufacturing facilities or inventory hub (Incoterms 2000). Title shall pass at the same time that risk of loss shifts. Seller may deliver products in one or more shipments and invoice each shipment separately. For accepted orders not subject to cancellation or modification, Seller reserves the right to ship product in advance of the agreed shipping date. Seller will use reasonable efforts to meet mutually agreed shipment or delivery schedules. However, shipment and delivery dates are estimates, and Seller will not be liable for failure to meet the estimated shipment or delivery dates.
4. PAYMENT
All payments shall be in U.S. dollars unless otherwise set forth in the applicable quotation or purchase order confirmation issued by Seller. In the event of conflict between a quotation and a purchase order confirmation, the purchase order confirmation shall prevail..Unless another time or method for payment is agreed by the parties in writing, payment for products is due prior to shipment by telegraphic transfer. If Seller has agreed to extend credit to Buyer, unless another time or method for payment is agreed by the parties, Seller will invoice upon shipment and Buyer shall pay Seller thirty (30) days net from the date of invoice. Seller may charge interest for past due balances at a rate of the lesser of one percent and one-half (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Seller may revoke any credit extended to Buyer or cancel or delay delivery of products when Buyer’s payments are late under any orders with Seller. Seller shall retain a purchase money security interest in all Products and the proceeds thereof until Buyer has made payment in full to Seller of all sums due, including late fees. Buyer agrees to execute any financing statements or other documents requested by Seller, which may be reasonably necessary to perfect such security interest. Buyer shall be liable for and obligated to pay Seller for all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection fees and court costs, incurred in collection of any past due balances hereunder.
5. CANCELLATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS
After acceptance by Seller, Buyer may not cancel an order for convenience, in whole or in part, change the quantity ordered and/or the delivery dates, or otherwise modify the order unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller. Seller may require advance payment of a deposit or down payment for products ordered by Buyer. Such deposits or down payments are non-refundable, and shall be subject to forfeit where Buyer breaches this Section. This Section shall not limit, and Seller shall be entitled to pursue, any other remedies that Seller may have under the law or in equity.
6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND USE RESTRICTIONS
The furnishing of products hereunder does not convey, expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license under any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights, whether relating to a product alone or in combination with other products, a manufacturing process or another matter. All rights under any such intellectual property rights are expressly reserved by Seller. Buyer shall not reverse engineer any part of a product except to the extent such prohibition is void under applicable law.
