1. ACCEPTANCE
Slide Products, Inc.'s Purchase Order and these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions ("Terms and
Conditions") are the exclusive contract between Slide Products, Inc. ("Buyer") and the selling party
("Seller"), and there are no terms, understandings, or agreements other than those stated here.
Additional or different terms in the Seller's acceptance or other writings are expressly rejected by
Buyer and shall not be binding on Buyer unless Buyer expressly agrees in a duly executed writing to such
additional or different terms. Seller’s assent to these Terms and Conditions shall be conclusively
presumed from the shipment or delivery of any goods or materials ordered by Buyer.
2. DELIVERY
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Purchase Order and where delivery dates are specified,
the failure to deliver in accordance with the specified delivery dates will constitute a material breach
of these Terms and Conditions. Any F.O.B. term shall be a delivery term. When the term is F.O.B. the
place of shipment, the Seller must at that place ship the goods and bear the expense and risk of putting
them into the possession of the carrier. When the term is F.O.B. the place of destination, the Seller
must at its own expense and risk, transport the goods to that place and there tender delivery. Seller
will bear the expense and risk of transportation both ways on goods rejected for failure to meet
specifications or for wrong or defective goods. Seller does hereby waive and release, and agree to
indemnify, Buyer, its agents, and employees, against any and all loss, damage, and liability arising
from any injury or damage occurring during the delivery of goods on said premises.
3. SHIPPING RELEASE
Unless specific delivery dates are provided in the Purchase Order, Seller shall not fabricate any of the
goods covered by the Purchase Order or procure any of the materials required in their fabrication or
ship any of such goods to Buyer except to the extent authorized in written instructions furnished to
Seller by Buyer. Buyer shall have no responsibility for goods for which delivery dates or such written
instructions have not been provided. Shipments in excess of those authorized may be returned to Seller
and Seller shall pay Buyer for all packing, handling, sorting, and transportation expense incurred in
connection with such shipments. Buyer may from time to time, without penalty, change shipping schedules
specified in the Purchase Order or contained in such written instructions, or direct temporary
suspension of such scheduled shipments.
4. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS
Quality assurance and control shall be Seller’s responsibility, and Seller acknowledges that Buyer relies
on Seller to furnish goods which fully comply with the contract requirements. Buyer shall not be obliged
to inspect goods prior to first use or application. All goods are subject to final inspection and
acceptance at Buyer's discretion prior to payment without regard to the manner of shipment or any
shipping or price terms. Goods received prior to inspection shall not be deemed accepted. Use of a
portion of the goods for the purposes of testing shall not constitute acceptance. Buyer may inspect the
goods at Seller's plant, but inspection by Buyer prior to shipment does not relieve Seller from
responsibility of furnishing goods strictly in accordance with specifications. Buyer may reject and
refuse acceptance of goods which are not conforming to specifications, drawings, samples, or
descriptions. In addition to Buyer's other rights, Buyer may charge the Seller all expenses of
unpacking, inspecting, repacking and reshipping such non-conforming goods. Payment to Seller prior to
acceptance will not be deemed an acceptance or a waiver of any of Buyer's rights.
5. WARRANTY
Seller warrants that the goods covered by the Purchase Order will conform to specifications, drawings,
samples, or other descriptions furnished or specified by Buyer and will be fit and sufficient for the
purpose intended, merchantable, of good material and workmanship, and free from defects and further
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any and all liability, damages, expenses or loss of
profit incurred by it in the event of the failure of Seller to comply with this warranty. All warranties
are cumulative and survive acceptance of the goods. The Seller warrants and represents that it has
absolute title to and full right to dispose of the goods, and the goods are now free and at the time of
delivery shall be free from any security interest, lien, or encumbrance. Warranties implied at law are
also part of the Purchase Order. In the event of Seller’s breach, Buyer shall have all remedies provided
at law, including the right to recover consequential damages.
6. TERMINATION AT OPTION OF BUYER
Performance of work under the Purchase Order may be terminated by Buyer at its option in whole or in
part, at any time prior to Buyer's acceptance of goods by delivering, or mailing or emailing, to Seller
a written notice of termination. Upon termination by Buyer under this paragraph, Buyer agrees to pay
Seller the actual cost of work in process for all goods or services which have been provided but not yet
paid for, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order, but in no event more than the purchase
price under the Purchase Order. Seller shall provide Buyer a detailed list of any expenses for which it
seeks to be paid upon termination of work by Buyer under this paragraph within thirty (30) calendar days
after the date Buyer delivers a notice of intent to terminate or Seller shall be deemed to have waived
any right for reimbursement therefor. Any partial termination under the Purchase Order shall not alter
or affect the Terms and Conditions of the Purchase Order to the extent not terminated.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Seller, by contracting with Buyer, certifies that it has or will comply with all applicable laws and
regulations, including without limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Equal Employment Opportunity
Act, and Executive Orders issued relating thereto, and such other laws, rules, orders, or regulations
that may be or become applicable to Seller in the performance of its obligations hereunder.
8. MODIFICATIONS AND NONASSIGNMENT
No agreement or other understanding in any way purporting to modify these Terms and Conditions or the
Purchase Order shall be binding upon Buyer unless made in writing and signed by Buyer's authorized
representative. Subsequent to acceptance by Seller, Buyer may at any time modify the goods ordered, the
method of shipment or packaging, the place of delivery, or the date of delivery; provided, however, if
such modification causes an item to be more costly, more time consuming, or otherwise materially
different for Seller to supply, Seller may increase the purchase price as mutually agreed upon by Buyer
and Seller. Modifications shall become part of the Purchase Order whenever confirmed in writing by
Buyer. Seller shall not assign the Purchase Order or any interest therein without prior written consent
of Buyer.
9. REPORTING INCENTIVES
Seller represents that it has not paid to any Buyer employee any commission, fee, or rebate, or provided
any gifts or entertainment of value greater than $500.00 per calendar year, unless such payment or gift
has been reported in writing to Buyer's Chief Financial Officer or President.
10. TAXES
Absent a written acknowledgement by Buyer to the contrary, all taxes, including but not limited to
federal, state and local income taxes, value added taxes, gross receipts taxes, property taxes, broker
fees and customs duties taxes ("Taxes"), are deemed to be included in the quoted price. In the event
that any taxing authority has claimed or does claim payment for Taxes, Seller shall promptly pay such
taxes and hold Buyer harmless from and against all such claims, including all expenses of defense.
11. TERMS OF PAYMENT
Unless expressly agreed upon otherwise by the parties, payment hereunder shall be due from Buyer within
thirty (30) days of Buyer's acceptance of the applicable goods.
12. NON-WAIVER
Buyer's failure at any time to enforce any provision or right in connection with the Purchase Order shall
not constitute a waiver of such provision or prejudice Buyer's right to enforce such provision at any
subsequent time.
13. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of the Purchase Order or these Terms and Conditions is declared invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, and
the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions hereof shall continue in full force and
effect.
14. ASSIGNMENT
The Purchase Order and Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided however, that no assignment of any
rights or delegation of any duties under the Purchase Order and Terms and Conditions is binding on
either party unless each party’s written consent has first been obtained. Notwithstanding the above,
Buyer may unilaterally assign any rights or title to goods under the Purchase Order and Terms and
Conditions to any wholly-owned subsidiary of or successor-in-interest to Buyer. All warranties,
including special warranties specified elsewhere in regard to the Purchase Order and Terms and
Conditions, shall inure to Buyer, its successors and assigns.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY
Seller agrees to maintain in strict confidence any and all information which Seller receives from Buyer
(including, without limitation, product specifications) and which is not already in the public domain
(the "Confidential Information"). Seller further agrees not to disclose, publish or reveal in any way
the Confidential Information to any person or entity (including, without limitation, governmental
entities) who do not have a need to have such disclosure in order to enable Seller to fulfill its
obligations hereunder, without Buyer's prior written consent, which Buyer may withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion. Seller's obligation under this paragraph shall survive termination of the contract
between Seller and Buyer.
16. CHOICE OF LAW
The Purchase Order and Terms and Conditions shall be construed and interpreted according to the laws of
the State of Illinois and the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted by Illinois, without regard to
conflict of laws principles. Seller hereby submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in the United
States District Court for the District of Illinois, and the Cook County Circuit Court. It is expressly
agreed that in the construction and interpretation of the terms of the Purchase Order and these Terms
and Conditions, if any, the rule of construction that a document is to be construed most strictly
against the party who prepared the same shall not apply.
17. PATENTS
Seller warrants that the goods sold to Buyer shall not infringe on any United States or foreign patent or
any third party intellectual property right and Seller will hold harmless and indemnify Buyer against
all claims, suits, actions, or proceedings by reason of alleged infringement of patents, or for patent
royalties, or for alleged unfair competition resulting from similarity in design, trademark or
appearance of goods, involved in consequence of the purchase or use of the goods covered hereby. Buyer
shall give prompt notice to Seller of any such suits brought or proceedings begun against it, and shall
permit Seller with its counsel to defend such suits, and shall give such reasonable information as Buyer
may possess to enable Seller to defend such suits.
18. MINIMUM FEDERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
By the acceptance of this order, Seller certifies that all materials furnished will be manufactured,
marked, and furnished in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 and of any applicable rule, regulations, standard, or order issued thereunder by any Federal
or state agency or department.
19. INDEMNITY
Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, employees, agents and
customers and the users of any goods sold to Buyer from any and all liability, loss, damage, fees, and
costs, of any type whatsoever, including attorneys' fees, which may be incurred by them or any of them
arising out of or in connection with or related to (a) any defect, claim of defect or alleged defect in
the design, materials, manufacture or sale of such goods; (b) any intentional or negligent act or
omission of Seller, whether alleged or actual, performed pursuant to the Purchase Order, including
without limitation, any claims or damages to property or injuries or death to persons arising out of
such acts or omissions of Seller's employees and agents; (c) any release or threat of release of any
hazardous material into the environment and/or any public or private nuisance; and/or (d) any failure to
comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, orders, and regulations
and those of any regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction over all or part of the
goods supplied by Seller. These rights of indemnification shall inure to Buyer whether Seller, its
affiliates, employees or agents are negligent or not.
20. ATTORNEY FEES
Seller hereby agrees to pay to Buyer, in addition to any damages provided for by law or by the Purchase
Order and Terms and Conditions, reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs incurred by Buyer as a
result of any breach by Seller of any terms of the Purchase Order and Terms and Conditions, including,
without limitation, any breach by Seller of any warranty herein referenced. No remedy provided to Buyer
hereunder shall be exclusive of any other remedy provided by law.
21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer shall not be liable to Seller in contract, tort or
otherwise (including negligence, warranty or strict liability) for any incidental, indirect or
consequential damages arising out of or in connection with or resulting from the Purchase Order or the
goods provided.
