Terms and Conditions

TESLYTE LLC, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

These Terms and Conditions of Sale (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”) govern all sales of goods by TESLYTE LLC (herein referred to as TESLYTE) to BUYER. Any offer to sell Products to BUYER, whether or not in response to a purchase order from BUYER, is expressly conditioned on BUYER’S acceptance of this Agreement and BUYER’S placing an order, accepting an offer for sale or taking of delivery of any part of a shipment of Products is evidence of such acceptance.  If this Agreement is construed to be an offer, this offer expressly limits acceptance by TESLYTE to the terms of this offer and notice of objection to any different or additional terms is hereby given. If this Agreement is construed to be an acceptance of an offer, this acceptance is expressly conditioned upon TESLYTE’S assent to any different or additional terms contained in this Agreement. If TESLYTE already has an executed purchase agreement currently in effect with BUYER or enters into the same in the future, then the terms of such signed purchase agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) shall prevail in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and such purchase agreement. If TESLYTE does not already have or enter into an executed purchase agreement with BUYER, then this Agreement shall constitute the complete agreement with respect to the products.  Without limitation of the foregoing, by purchasing any products on TESLYTE’S website or through other electronic means offered by TESLYTE (collectively the “Site”), BUYER accepts, without limitation or qualification, this Agreement governing such purchase.  If BUYER does not agree and accept, without limitation or qualification, this Agreement, BUYER may not purchase from the Site.

1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL. A quotation by TESLYTE is an estimate only and is subject to modification by either TESLYTE or BUYER. The transmission of a written confirmation (“Order Confirmation”) by TESLYTE signifies TESLYTE’S acceptance to sell only the Products that are the subject of the Order Confirmation and only pursuant to specified conditions inclusive of description, unit quantities, applicable prices, and delivery dates, and thereafter each party shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms and conditions herein.

2. PRICE AND PAYMENTS.

(a) Prices are reflected in U.S. Dollars and are exclusive of any and all federal, state, and local sales, use, excise, and similar taxes and charges which shall be the responsibility of BUYER in addition to the purchase of Products. Prices are firm for the quantities specified in an applicable Order Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TESLYTE reserves the right to revise prices to reflect any or all of the following: (i) any variation in market price of components, parts, raw materials; or (ii) any changes to the specifications or volume previously agreed upon, including changes that increase the cost of testing. TESLYTE shall provide reasonable prior notice before invoking any of these rights with respect to revised prices.

(b) Payment is due to TESLYTE 30 days after date of invoice, unless such payment terms are modified and signed by both parties in a separate writing.

3. DELIVERY. TESLYTE shall schedule delivery and undertake all reasonable efforts to meet BUYER’S requested delivery date. However, TESLYTE reserves the right to adjust the delivery dates for the entire or parts of any order. If TESLYTE cannot observe an agreed time for the delivery of the Products, or if delay by TESLYTE appears probable, TESLYTE shall give notice to BUYER listing the time when TESLYTE expects to deliver. A reasonable delay by TESLYTE shall not be grounds for BUYER to terminate the order as to the delayed Products, unless otherwise agreed to by TESLYTE and BUYER. Unless otherwise expressly agreed upon in a separate writing signed by both parties, all product shipments shall be made F.O.B. ORIGIN FREIGHT COLLECT, title to and risk of loss or damage to Products shall pass to BUYER upon TESLYTE’S tender of Products to carrier. Unless otherwise agreed upon in a separate writing signed by both parties, the Products will be shipped in standard commercial packaging and by a method determined by TESLYTE in its sole discretion.

4. INSPECTION AND CURE. BUYER shall inform TESLYTE of the lack of conformity of any Products with the Order Confirmation, specifying the nature of the lack of conformity within a reasonable time after BUYER discovers or should have discovered the non-conformity, but not more than 30 days after BUYER receives shipment of the Product. TESLYTE shall have the right to cure any non-conformity upon notice from BUYER notwithstanding any expiration of the original time for performance.

5. SAMPLES. Any sample(s) provided to BUYER is provided on a rent-free, loan basis for periods of 30 or 60 days, in each case as determined by TESLYTE in its sole discretion. Title to any such sample(s) shall remain with TESLYTE and BUYER shall be responsible for any loss or damage to the sample(s).

6. CHANGES. BUYER has the option to request, in writing, changes to any order, including changes to the specifications, up to 60 days prior to the previously agreed upon delivery date for the order. BUYER may reschedule a standard, non-custom order only once and only up to 30 days prior to the previously agreed upon delivery date, provided that, in any event the rescheduled delivery date must be within the same fiscal quarter as when the notice is received by TESLYTE. TESLYTE shall notify BUYER, in writing, as to the impact of each such change to price, delivery schedule and any other terms within five (5) business days after receipt of the notice from BUYER. Any such requested changes shall become effective only upon the signing by both parties of a separate writing that incorporates the agreed upon changes. If any such change causes either an increase or decrease in TESLYTE’S costs or time required for performance, the prices and/or delivery schedules shall be adjusted in a manner that adequately compensates TESLYTE for any such changes and BUYER shall bear any increased costs. In no event may changes to either specifications or delivery of Products be made less than 30 days before the originally scheduled delivery date for the Products.

7. CANCELLATION. BUYER shall have the right to cancel any standard, non-custom order without cause, provided BUYER provides TESLYTE written notice of cancellation 60 or more days prior to the scheduled delivery date for the Products.
