Terms and conditions

 1. General

1.1 These Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms”) and the corresponding sales order (an “Order”) govern the purchase and sale of products and services (the “Products”) by Innosys Power Inc. and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Supplier”) to you (“Buyer”). The Terms and Order (the “Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement between Supplier and Buyer with respect to the purchase and sale of Products, and the Agreement supersedes all other understandings, agreements and communications (including bids and quotations) between the parties regarding the purchase and sale of Products.

1.2 Purchase orders provided by Buyer are not accepted by Supplier if and until an Order is generated by Supplier. Supplier expressly objects to and rejects any terms and conditions that are additional to these Terms and provided by Buyer to Supplier, unless any such additional terms and conditions are expressly agreed upon in writing by the parties. No amendment, modification or supplement to the Agreement shall be binding unless it is in writing and expressly agreed to by both parties hereto.

1.3 In the event of any conflict between the provisions of these Terms and the Order, the Order shall govern. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any other applicable agreements between the parties, this Agreement shall govern unless any such other applicable agreement expressly and unequivocally states that all or a part of such other applicable agreement takes precedence over this Agreement, and then such other applicable agreement shall only govern to the extent of such express and unequivocal statement.

2. Prices; PAYMENT TERMS

2.1 Distributor’s standard list prices are subject to change without notice. Prices listed in Supplier quotations expire and become invalid if not accepted within 90 days of the date of issuance, unless otherwise noted by Supplier in writing.

2.2 All prices are stated in Canadian dollars. Applicable taxes shall be included in Supplier’s invoice and be payable by Buyer in accordance with applicable law.

2.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the parties, payment terms are net 30 days from the date of the invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Orders are subject to Supplier’s continuing approval of Buyer’s credit. If Buyer’s credit is not approved or becomes unsatisfactory to Supplier, then Supplier, in its sole and absolute discretion, may suspend or cancel performance, or require different payment terms, including but not limited to cash on delivery or in advance of shipment. In addition, Supplier may in its sole and absolute discretion require an advance deposit of up to 100% of Supplier’s selling price for any specially manufactured goods ordered by Buyer hereunder. Supplier may, in its sole and absolute discretion, apply Buyer’s payment against any open charges.

2.4 Past due accounts bear interest at the lesser of 2.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. 

2.5 If Buyer fails to comply with these Terms (including by failing to make timely payment), Supplier may terminate or restrict any Order immediately upon notice to Buyer. Buyer certifies that it is solvent and that it will advise Supplier immediately if it becomes insolvent. Buyer’s failure to make timely payment to Supplier shall be deemed an event of material default. In addition to the right of termination, Supplier reserves all rights at law and equity in the event of a default, including but not limited to charging interest during any period of nonpayment or late payment, and the exercise of any lien rights or security interest provided by applicable law. It is the clear and express intention of the parties that no purported unconditional waiver or release of lien rights or security interests shall be valid, and all such lien and security waivers or releases shall be deemed to be null and void, prior to receipt of the full amount due to Supplier.

3. ORDER CANCELLATION

3.1 Cancellation of Orders by Buyer must be made in writing and received by Supplier prior to shipment of Order (“Acceptable Cancellations”). Buyer may not cancel the Order after shipment, and verbal cancellations will not be accepted. Buyer shall be charged a restock fee for any Acceptable Cancellations.

3.2 Supplier reserves the right to cancel, without liability, any Orders that are not scheduled for delivery by Buyer within 9 months of the Order date. Supplier may also cancel any Orders on [30] days’ written notice to Buyer, without liability and at any time, if Supplier, in its sole and exclusive discretion, determines that the fulfillment of such Order would be commercially unfeasible.

4. Delivery; SHIPMENT; PASSING OF RISK

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, delivery shall be FOB Origin, Freight Collect. Title and risk of loss will pass to Buyer at the FOB point. All responsibility and costs of shipping and delivery beyond the applicable FOB point will be borne by Buyer.

4.2 Partial shipments are permitted at Supplier’s sole and absolute discretion.

4.3 Should an order be held or stored beyond the agreed-upon delivery date at Buyer’s request, Supplier may, at its option, require Buyer to reimburse Supplier for any and all expenses and costs incident to such delay. 

4.4 If Buyer fails to accept delivery of any Products from a carrier, Buyer shall be responsible for any expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with such failure.

4.5 Supplier will not be held responsible for damaged goods delivered in good condition to the carrier. Buyer shall make all claims for loss and damage to the common carrier. 

4.6 No agreement to any delivery date or period shall be valid, and Supplier shall not be deemed to have agreed to any delivery date or period, unless in each case Supplier has expressly agreed to the delivery date or period in writing. In all cases, delivery by Supplier shall be deemed to occur upon delivery of the Products to a carrier for shipment to Buyer or on notification to Buyer of readiness to ship if shipment of the Products cannot occur through no fault of Supplier. Any agreed upon delivery date or period shall be automatically extended by any period of time during which Buyer fails to comply with these Terms.

5. RETURNS; DEFECTS; SHORTAGE OF PRODUCTS 

5.1 No Products may be returned to Supplier without Supplier’s prior written authorization. This written authorization will be issued at the discretion of Supplier and must be requested by Buyer within 90 days of the original delivery date (“Return Authorization”).  Non-defective materials must be in sealed original carton. In no cases will Supplier provide Return Authorization for any Products that have already been installed by Supplier. 

5.2 All returns will be subject to a minimum 25% handling and factory inspection charge, except on Products considered by the manufacturer to be defective in workmanship and materials. Minimum value for Return Authorization is $250.

5.3 Buyer must inspect the Products within 15 days of delivery. All claims for shortage of Products or for loss or damage to Products or defects, in any such case as to which Supplier has the risk of loss, will be waived unless Buyer, within 15 days of becoming aware of any short or damaged shipment or defect, gives Supplier written notice fully describing the alleged shortage or damage or defect.

5.4 The delivery of Products claimed to be defective shall be returned to Supplier for examination in their original or equivalent packaging, and only after Return Authorization has been granted.
