TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

All sales of goods or services by Three D Metals, Inc., are made subject to the following terms and conditions, unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate document signed by both Three D Metals, Inc. and Buyer. Three D Metals, Inc. expressly objects to any different or additional terms, additions, revisions or modifications contained in Buyer’s purchase order or any other document or communication submitted by Buyer. Buyer’s acceptance of this offer is expressly limited to Buyer’s assent to the following terms and conditions:

  1. Offer and Acceptance. This Quotation or Acknowledgment is an offer by Three D Metals, Inc. (“Three D”) to sell the goods or services referenced in this document (the “Products”) to Buyer. Buyer may accept this offer orally, in writing, or by performance, as long as Buyer’s acceptance does not alter these terms and conditions (“Terms”). Three D shall not be bound to any different, additional, or modified term, condition, or provision, unless such term, condition, or provision is specifically accepted by Three D, in a separate writing, signed by both Three D and Buyer. Buyer’s objection to any of these Terms must be set forth in a separate writing signed and dated by Buyer and delivered to Three D prior to or contemporaneous with Buyer’s purchase order or other form of acceptance. Unless Three D agrees to Buyer’s objection in writing, the objection is rejected and shall not become a part of the agreement. Three D’s failure to object to any term or condition contained in any communication from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of these Terms, nor shall it be deemed an endorsement or acceptance of any term or condition set forth by Buyer. No course of dealing or custom and usage contrary to these Terms shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Three D may correct any typographical or clerical errors, including, but not limited to, errors in price, specifications, quotations, or acknowledgments.
  2. Lapse. The offer contained herein shall lapse if Buyer fails to make a definite and seasonable expression of acceptance of these Terms within 15 days of the date of this Quotation or Acknowledgment.
  3. Entire Agreement. These Terms, and any additional or different terms expressly agreed upon in writing by both Three D and Buyer, constitute the entire agreement between Three D and Buyer with regard to this sale and expressly supersede and replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, relating to this Quotation or Acknowledgment, including any terms and conditions on any of Buyer’s documents or purchase orders. This agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their successors and assigns. If any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the agreement and the remainder of the agreement shall remain in full effect.
  4. Prices. All prices indicated in the Quotation or Acknowledgment are subject to change without notice. Unless otherwise agreed, prices are quoted in U.S. dollars and do not include freight or delivery charges, taxes (sales, excise, use, ad valorem, etc.), or any export or import duties. Such charges may be prepaid by Three D and added to Buyer’s invoice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Three D or Buyer document, Three D reserves the right to adjust any prices quoted hereon at any time or from time to time in order to reflect or account for any changes in such prices caused, necessitated by or resulting from any litigation, investigation, negotiation, policy, order, settlement, trade action, governmental policy or order or any other actions taken under the laws, rules, treaties and/or regulations (collectively, “Rules”) of any country or subdivision thereof, including but not limited to Rules relating to trade, export, import, commerce, taxation or national security.
  5. Shipment, Delivery, Inspection. All shipments are F.O.B. Three D’s plant, with transportation expenses and insurance paid by Buyer. The risk of loss or damage to the Products in transit shall fall upon the Buyer, whose responsibility it shall be to file claims with the carrier and/or the insurance company. If Three D pays for freight charges, Three D shall select the method and carrier for delivery of all Products. If Buyer pays for freight charges, Buyer may, at its option, select the method and carrier for the delivery of all Products, but only upon written notification to Three D. All scheduled or quoted delivery dates are approximate and based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer. Buyer shall examine all Products promptly upon receipt. Buyer shall notify Three D in writing, within 5 days of delivery, of any shortage or nonconformance. If rejection is intended, Buyer shall specify all grounds for rejection. Failure to provide Three D with such notice shall be deemed an unqualified acceptance of the delivered Products by Buyer. Three D also reserves the right to ship the product on multiple skids and/or shipments.
  6. Delays. Three D shall not be liable for loss, damage, or non-performance resulting from delays in receipt of final specifications or instructions from Buyer, events of force majeure, or other causes beyond Three D’s reasonable control. Quantities are subject to availability. In the event of production difficulties or Product shortages, Three D may allocate sales and deliveries at its sole discretion. In the event of such a delay, Three D’s performance shall be excused and the delivery date shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. Three D may still bill Buyer and collect payment even though the Products have not yet been shipped.
  7. Payment. The payment terms stated in the Quotation or Acknowledgment are conditioned upon approval of the Buyer’s credit and may be withdrawn or amended by Three D at any time. Upon request, Buyer shall furnish sufficient information to enable Three D to assess Buyer’s creditworthiness. All payments shall be made in the currency in which the prices have been quoted. All invoices shall be due and payable 30 days from the date thereof. All payments shall be without deductions for back-charges, other accounts between Three D and Buyer, or other similar circumstances, which shall be settled independently of the payment of the invoice. Payment shall not prejudice claims on account of omissions or shortages in shipment, but no such claim will be allowed unless Three D is notified in writing within 5 days of receipt of the shipment of such omission or shortage. All amounts past due shall accrue interest at a rate of 1.5 % per month from the due date, until paid in full. In such event, Three D may require that all subsequent deliveries be paid for in advance or upon delivery. Three D shall also have the right to suspend deliveries or discontinue any of the work to be performed by Three D until amounts past due are paid in full. Further, Buyer agrees to pay all attorney’s fees, litigation expenses and other costs allowable by law, incurred by Three D to collect upon amounts owed by Buyer to Three D.
  8. Title and Security Interest. Title shall not pass, and Three D shall have a security interest in all Products and the proceeds thereof, until Three D receives payment in full. Buyer authorizes Three D to file any and all financing statements and other documents required to perfect Three D’s security interest, and Buyer agrees to cooperate in filing all such documents and statements. Buyer’s failure to pay the purchase price, when due, shall give Three D the right to repossess the Product without liability. Furthermore, Three D retains all other rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law.
  9. Cancellation. Buyer may cancel its order at any time upon written notice to Three D, together with payment to Three D for the purchase price less any costs saved by Three D as a result of the cancellation.

Three D makes no warranty that the Products will be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement or the like. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Three D harmless against any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and court costs) arising out of any claim that the Product purchased infringes a valid United States patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, proprietary right, or claim of unfair trade or unfair competition, as a result of or arising from Three D’s compliance with Buyer’s designs, specifications, or instructions, or relating to a system or combination in which the Product is only one component.
  2. Assignment. Any assignment by the Buyer of this agreement or any of Buyer’s rights or obligations under this agreement, without prior written consent of Three D, shall be null and void, and shall entitle Three D to cancel such agreement without liability.
