1. TERMS OF SALE. These Terms and Conditions of Sale   (“Terms”)  are the      only     Terms which govern sales of any goods or products (“Product” and, collectively, “Products”) to buyer (“Buyer”) by RMS Organics, LLC (“Seller”) (Buyer and Seller, individually, a “party” and, collectively, the “parties”). Sales by Seller to Buyer of Products are expressly limited to and conditioned upon acceptance of these Terms, regardless of whether Buyer purchases Products by phone,  in  person, verbally, by purchase orders, electronic orders, Electronic Data Interchange (“ EDI”), acknowledgements, confirmation, or other writings or forms of communication (collectively, “Purchase Orders”). Unless expressly agreed by Seller in a writing signed by Seller, any additional  or conflicting terms and conditions contained on, attached to, or referenced by Buyer’s Purchase Orders, or other prior or later communication between Buyer and Seller, shall have no effect on the Terms of purchase of any Product by Buyer  from Seller and are expressly rejected by Seller. Buyer’s commencement of performance (including, without limitation, ordering, purchasing or taking delivery of Products) shall in all cases constitute Buyer’s unqualified and unconditional acceptance of these Terms. Title to Products and risk of loss shall pass as per the shipping terms specified by the parties and, if not specified, then EWX (Incoterms® 2020), Seller’s designated facility (for both shipments of Product within the United States or those which will be exported outside the United States).

Buyer’s obligation shall survive the termination, cancellation or expiration of all Purchase Orders delivered pursuant to these Terms and the cessation of business between Seller and Buyer.
3. DELIVERIES.

(a) If Buyer has not issued instructions as to the method of shipment by the time Products are ready for shipment, Seller may select any reasonable method of shipment without liability by reason of its selection. The parties will cooperate to the extent reasonable to coordinate periods and times for deliveries hereunder, and Buyer will give reasonable prior notice as to quantities and scheduling desired, provided that all shipping dates are approximate and not guaranteed by Seller. Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for damages or charges resulting from a delay in the delivery of Products, or for partial shipments. Buyer shall unload and return all transportation equipment promptly so that no demurrage or other expense or loss resulting from delay shall be incurred and will comply with all instructions for return of such equipment. Buyer shall be responsible for all unloading costs and shall provide equipment and labor necessary for receipt of Products. The quantity of any shipment of Products as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller’s place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Products (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of non-delivery within three (3) business days of the date when the Products would, in  the  ordinary  course,  have  been received. Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of Products shall be limited to replacing the Products within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice for such Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

(b)        If and to the extent that Products are to be delivered from any Seller- affiliated facility, public warehouse, or supplier, such entity shall have the right to require the execution of an access agreement prior to granting Buyer, its carriers, contractors or agents, access to such facility. Buyer agrees that it, and its carriers, contractors and agents, will comply with the facility’s safety rules and regulations.

(c)        If Seller delivers to Buyer a quantity of Products of up to 15% less than the quantity set forth in the sales confirmation, Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Products or any portion of them by reason of the shortfall and shall pay for such Products at the price set forth in the sales confirmation adjusted pro rata.

(d)        Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Products to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale and Buyer shall pay for the Products shipped, in accordance with the payment terms specified in the Purchase Order, whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of a Purchase Order.

4. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

(a) “Laws” shall mean all applicable laws, treaties, conventions, directives, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions or decrees of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the transactions, either in the United States or in the country where the Buyer is located, or in which subsequent Buyers or consumers are located, including, without limitation, the export and/or import control Laws of other countries. Once Product become property of the Buyer, the Buyer assumes all responsibility for shipments of Products requiring any import or export clearance.

(b)        Buyer is solely responsible for complying with all such Laws. Buyer shall hold Seller harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses relating to any claim, action, proceeding, or lawsuit, threatened or commenced, arising out of a breach of such Laws.

(c)        Buyer shall not and shall not permit any third parties to, directly or indirectly, export, reexport, or release any Products to any jurisdiction or country to which, or any party to whom, the export, reexport, or release of any Products is prohibited by Law. Buyer shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4(c) including breach by its successors' and permitted assigns, parent, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, customers, agents, distributors, resellers, or vendors. Buyer shall comply with all Laws and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, reexporting, or releasing any Product. Buyer shall provide prior written notice of the need to comply with such Laws to any person, firm, or entity which it has reason to believe is obtaining any Products from Buyer with the intent to export or reexport.

As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Products, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Products, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the United States Uniform Commercial Code.

Buyer’s failure to give timely, written notice to Seller of any deficiency, defect or shortage within such five (5) business day period shall constitute an unqualified acceptance of the Product and a waiver by Buyer of all claims with respect thereto.  If Buyer has reason to believe any Product does not comply with the limited warranty set forth herein, Buyer shall not Use the Product without the prior written approval of the Seller.
