Buyer and Seller may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” or collectively as 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, purchase orders, electronic orders, Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”), acknowledgements, confirmation, or other writings or forms of communication ("Purchase Orders”). To the extent these Terms conflict with an existing individual customer contract signed by an authorized representative of both RMS and Buyer, the terms and conditions contained in such individual customer contract will control. The placement or acceptance of any Purchase Order indicates Buyer’s complete and unconditional consent to and acceptance of these Terms. The formation of any contract and Buyer’s acceptance of any Purchase Order is expressly conditioned on acceptance of all of these Terms. Any additional, inconsistent, or differing terms or conditions proposed by Buyer or stated in any order or other communication from Buyer are hereby expressly rejected by RMS. Any failure of RMS to object to any provision contained in any Purchase Order or other communication from Buyer shall not be construed as a waiver of these Terms nor an acceptance of any such provision. These Terms, together with the accompanying confirmation of sale or invoice issued by RMS shall constitute the final, complete and exclusive statement of the contract between RMS and Buyer for the sale of Products and may not be modified or rescinded except by a writing signed by an authorized representative of DSS.

Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with collecting late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.
(b) If Seller issues credit terms to Buyer upon separate written agreement, Seller makes no assurance or guarantee regarding any amount of credit or the continuation of such credit to Buyer. If Seller, in its sole
discretion, provides Buyer with a line of credit to facilitate purchases of Products from Seller, such credit line may be amended, decreased or terminated at any time in Seller’s sole discretion. If Seller determines, in its sole discretion, that the creditworthiness or future performance of Buyer is impaired or unsatisfactory, Seller may, in addition to its other rights and remedies: (i) suspend deliveries of Products; (ii) require prepayment by wire transfer of immediately available funds at least three (3) days prior to Shipment; and/or (iii) require Performance Assurance (as hereinafter defined) prior to a scheduled shipment. Buyer hereby waives written notice of any such action. “Performance Assurance” means collateral in the form of either cash, letter(s) of credit, guaranty, or other security acceptable to Seller in its sole discretion.
(c) Seller reserves the right, at any time, to Set- off against any amount that Seller and/or its affiliates owe to Buyer and/or its affiliate under any agreement(s) or transaction(s) between such parties. “Set-off” means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, netting of dollar amounts of monetary obligations, right of retention or withholding or similar action exercised by Seller. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any Set-off or claim against Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.
5. SHIPMENT.
(a) Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer to coordinate delivery of Products under a Purchase Order, including with respect to quantities of Products ordered and scheduled delivery dates requested by Buyer. If Buyer has not issued written delivery instructions to Seller as to Buyer's requested 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 ("Shipment"). All Shipment dates are approximate and not guaranteed by Buyer. 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 applicable Purchase Order, whether such Shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of such Purchase Order. Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for damages or charges resulting from a delay in the Delivery of Products, or for partial Shipments.
(b) The quantity of Products shipped, as recorded by Seller on the packing slip included with the Shipment, is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on Delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. If Seller delivers to Buyer a quantity of Products of up to 15% less than the quantity set forth in the applicable Purchase Order, 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 Purchase Order, adjusted pro rata. 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 by Buyer. 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 of Products delivered.

Buyer’s failure to give RMS any Delivery Rejection
Notice five (5) business days if receipt by Buyer shall constitute an unqualified acceptance of the Product and the Shipment 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.
