TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES

1             APPLICABILITY

1.1        These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of goods (“Goods”) and services (“Services”) by TOMCAT USA, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Seller”) to you (“Buyer”). Each of Seller and Buyer are individually referred to as a “Party” or together as the “Parties.”
1.2        The Terms, together with the basic order information in the Seller's quote or accepted purchase order and any applicable master agreement signed by the Parties covering the sale of Goods or Services ("Master Agreement"), form the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to sales of Goods and/or Services and supersede all other agreements, understandings and communications between the Parties. To the extent that these Terms are inconsistent with any Master Agreement or purchase order, these Terms shall prevail unless provided otherwise.
1.3        Any of Buyer’s terms and conditions of purchase or any other terms and conditions attached to or referenced in any purchase order are rejected and excluded. Any fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not modify these Terms.

2             DELIVERY OF GOODS AND PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES 
 
2.1        The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after acceptance of Buyer’s purchase order. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.
2.2        Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Seller shall make the Goods available for pick-up at Seller’s dock (the “Delivery Point”) using Seller’s standard methods for packaging such Goods. If Buyer elects, Seller shall arrange for shipment of the Goods to Buyer via Buyer's nominated carrier provided that Buyer or Buyer’s carrier shall take delivery of the Goods within five (5) days of Seller’s written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. In any event, Buyer shall be responsible for all shipping and handling charges and shall provide reasonably suitable equipment and labor for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.
2.3        Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order.
2.4        Seller shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates to render the Services specified in the purchase order or sales confirmation, but any such dates shall be deemed estimates only.
2.5        With respect to the Services, Buyer shall:
(a)         cooperate with Seller in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Buyer’s premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Seller, for the purposes of performing the Services;
(b)         respond promptly to any Seller request for information, materials or instructions that are reasonably necessary for Seller to perform the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such information, materials or instructions are complete and accurate in all material respects; and
(c)          obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start.
2.6        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, Seller may from time to time change the Services without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the applicable purchase order or Master Agreement.

3             DESIGNS

3.1        In these Terms, “Design” means any design or advice (technical or otherwise) provided by Seller in connection with the sale of Goods or provision of Services. All Designs and any advice provided by Seller are specific to the Buyer’s project (“Project”).
3.2        In providing any Design, Buyer acknowledges Seller has relied upon information supplied by Buyer and its advisers, agents and contractors. Seller takes no responsibility for any failure or defect arising directly or indirectly from incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information provided to Seller, or arising as a consequence of any act, omission or failure by Buyer or any third party engaged in relation to the Project. In all events, Buyer is responsible to ensure the relevant Design has been checked and approved in all respects prior to installation by a qualified professional familiar with the Project acting on behalf of Buyer.
3.3        Any Design provided by Seller has been prepared and delivered on the basis that Seller’s Goods are explicitly specified and will be used in the Project. If Buyer uses any other manufacturer’s products, Seller accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the performance of those products, and Seller gives no assurances that any Design Seller provides will be suitable for use with those products.
3.4        Seller shall not be liable for any failure in Seller’s Goods caused by (a) the actions or omissions of third parties or (b) the treatment of Seller’s Goods on site and in use.

5             BUYER’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS

If Seller’s performance of its obligations is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of any of its obligations or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer the replacement Goods at Seller’s expense and risk of loss.  Buyer shall have no right to return purchased Goods to Seller other than as provided in this Section 6.4.
6.5        The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller’s place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence establishing a different quantity.
6.6        Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within three (3) days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received. Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the relevant invoice to reflect the actual quantity delivered.
