(‘Seller’) to buyer (“Buyer”). All sales of Goods shall be made only upon these Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”) and NOT any purchase order or other document of Buyer. BY ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF GOODS FROM SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO AND ACCEPTED THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, REGARDLESS OF ANY ADDITIONAL OR CONFLICTING TERMS OR CONDITIONS IN ANY PRIOR OR LATER COMMUNICATION FROM BUYER. Seller’s failure to object to any terms which conflict with these Terms and Conditions shall not be deemed a waiver of objection thereto.

Ltd.（“卖方”）提供给买方（“买方”）的所有货物和相关服务。所有货物销售仅应根据本销售条款及细则（“条款及细则”）进行，而不应根据任何买方的采购订单或其他文件进行销售。通过接受卖方提供的货物交付，无论买方在之前或之后的任何通信中有任何附加或冲突的条款或条件，买方应被视为已同意并接受了本条款及细则。卖方未对任何与本条款及细则冲突的条款提出异议不应被视为对其放弃异议。本条款及细则的任何更改必须由卖方的正式授权代表书面同意。

2. PRICES

价格
Quotations are subject to Seller’s approval of Buyer’s credit, availability of Goods, and Seller’s confirmation. Unless otherwise noted, prices quoted are in USD and do not include VAT, GST or other taxes. Seller reserves the right to amend the terms of an accepted order to correct errors or omissions or to account for any tariffs, duties, or taxes or other governmental charges imposed or increased on the Goods after Seller’s acceptance of the order.

报价须经卖方核准买方的信用、货物的供应情况和卖方的确认。除非另有说明，所报价格为美元且不包括增值税、商品服务税或其他税费。卖方保留更正错误或遗漏的权利，以修改已确认的订单条款, 或用于调整因政府在卖方接受订单后对货物征收或增加的任何关税、税费或其他政府收费。

3. DELIVERY

交货
Delivery dates quoted by Seller are best estimates only and time is expressly not of the essence unless otherwise agreed upon by Seller in writing. Late or partial delivery does not entitle Buyer to cancel its order. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will not be liable for any damages or injury arising from a delay in delivery. In the event of delivery by installments, Buyer is not entitled to treat the delivery of faulty Goods in any one installment as a repudiation of the entire order. Buyer must notify Seller promptly in writing of shortages, non-delivery of Goods or receipt of nonconforming or damaged Goods. Delivery to Buyer occurs when Goods are delivered to Buyer in accordance with the agreed incoterms.

卖方所报的交货日期仅为最佳估计，除非卖方书面另行同意，否则时间不是关键因素。延迟或部分交货并不构成买方有权取消订单。买方承认，卖方不会对因延迟交货而引起的任何损失或伤害承担责任。如果分批交货，买方无权将任何一批货物中存在有瑕疵的货物视为违约并终止整个订单。买方必须及时以书面形式通知卖方货物短缺、未交货或收到不符合规定或损坏的货物。当货物按照商定的国际贸易术语解释通则交付给买方时，交货即完成。

For Goods shipped from the Seller’s facilities in the EU or Singapore: Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, all Goods are shipped “FCA” Seller’s designated facility (Incoterms 2020).

对于从卖方在欧盟或新加坡的设施发运的货物：除非另有书面明确约定，所有货物均按照“货交承运人”（国际贸易术语解释通则2020）方式运送至卖方指定的设施。

For Goods shipped from Seller’s other facilities: All Goods are shipped “EXW” Seller (Incoterm 2020) unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing.

对于从卖方其他设施发运的货物：除非另有书面明确约定，所有货物均按照“工厂交货”（国际贸易术语解释通则2020）方式运输。

Notwithstanding the Incoterms agreed upon by the parties, Seller shall retain all risk of loss for Goods until delivered to Buyer at Buyer’s facilities. Special instructions with regard to packaging must be expressly provided on the purchase order and agreed to in writing by Seller.

尽管双方已约定国际贸易术语解释通则，但卖方仍应承担所有货物的损失风险，直到货物在买方的设施交付给买方为止。关于包装的特殊要求必须在采购订单上明确提出，并经卖方书面同意。

4. WARRANTY AND RETURNS

保修和退货
Except for Consignment Goods and Special Orders, and provided Buyer has given Seller written notification of a defect within 30 days of the date of the invoice, Seller will refund the cost of or, at its discretion, repair or replace any of the Goods found to its satisfaction to be defective, either due to faulty workmanship or prior use. Non-defective Goods are returnable only upon written consent from Seller in its absolute discretion. Goods purchased from Seller may be returned only at Seller’s discretion pursuant to the applicable purchase order and this paragraph, but in any event no later than 30 days from the invoice date, provided that the following conditions are met: 1) Only one Return Material Authorization (RMA) request per invoice; 2) Goods must not be obsolete, Consignment Goods or Special Order; 3) Non-defective Goods must be accompanied by written authorization from Seller and be in resalable condition, meaning: new and unused, in original factory packaging, unopened with all external and internal factory seals intact, with all original parts and accessories (cables, software, documents, manuals, etc.); 4) Defective Goods must be accompanied by a legitimate independent test report confirming the defect; and 5) Goods must be received by Seller within 20 days after an RMA is issued, or they will be returned at Buyer’s expense. RMAs must be obtained from Seller before Buyer returns Goods for any reason, or they will be returned to Buyer at Buyer’s expense, and Buyer will be assessed a 20% restocking charge. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the charging of such restocking charge is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of any applicable law, but is a genuine pre-estimate of the losses and damage that may be suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer’s failure to obtain RMAs from Seller pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.  Goods returned to Seller shall become the property of Seller.  ALL CONSIGNMENT GOODS AND SPECIAL ORDERS ARE SOLD “AS IS”, WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES FROM SELLER AND WITH NO RETURN RIGHTS.

除寄售货物和特殊订单之外，只要买方在发票日期后30天内书面通知卖方货物存在缺陷，卖方将退还费用或自行决定维修或更换该货物任何经其确认有缺陷的货物，不论缺陷是由于工艺不良还是先前使用所致。无缺陷货物只有在卖方在其绝对自主权下书面同意的情况下才能退回。从卖方购买的货物只能由卖方根据适用的采购订单和本段落的规定自行决定退货，但无论如何，退货时间不得晚于发票日期后30天，并且必须满足以下条件：1）每张发票只能提交一次退货授权（RMA）申请；2）货物不得是过时的、寄售货物或特殊订单；3）无缺陷货物必须附有卖方的书面授权，并处于可再销售的状态，即：全新且未使用，原装工厂包装未拆封，所有外部和内部工厂封条完好，配件齐全（线材、软件、文件、手册等）；4）有缺陷货物必须附有合法的独立测试报告以确认缺陷；5）货物必须在RMA发出后20天内被卖方收到，否则将由买方承担退货费用。买方在任何原因下退货前必须先向卖方获取退货授权（RMA），否则将由买方承担退货费用，且买方将被收取20%的重新入库费用。买方承认并同意，收取此类重新入库费用并非任何适用法律意义下的没收或惩罚，而是对卖方因买方未按照本条款及细则向卖方获取RMA而可能遭受或承担的损失和损害所做出的真实预估。退回给卖方的货物将成为卖方的财产。所有寄售货物和特殊订单均按“现状”出售，卖方不提供明示或暗示保证，且没有退货权利。

免责声明：责任限制
Buyer acknowledges that Seller is not the manufacturer of Goods and that Seller shall not be responsible for providing Goods change notices, certificate(s) of origin, material composition, trade preference status, or any other similar information.  To the extent Seller does provide such information, such information is provided on an AS IS basis.  Buyer shall be responsible for confirming the accuracy of said information.  Further, Seller makes no representation concerning patents, trademarks, trade names or service marks (collectively “Patents”) of any of its Goods. Seller’s obligation for Patent infringement is expressly limited to any indemnification which Seller’s vendor of the Goods has agreed in writing to provide (or by operation of law has been deemed to provide) to Seller.  GOODS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN HIGH-RISK APPLICATIONS INCLUDING MEDICAL LIFE SUPPORT, NUCLEAR POWER, MASS AND AIR TRANSPORTATION CONTROL, OR OTHER POTENTIALLY LIFE CRITICAL USES WHERE THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.  Seller makes no assurance or warranties that Goods are suitable for any high risk uses.  Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any losses, damages, or claims arising out of such use of Goods.

买方承认，卖方不是货物的制造商，且卖方不承担提供货物变更通知、原产地证明、材料成分、贸易优惠状态或任何其他类似信息的责任。在卖方提供此类信息时，该信息是按“现状”提供的。买方应负责确认所述信息的准确性。此外，卖方不对其任何货物的专利、商标、商号或服务标记（统称“专利”）作出任何陈述。卖方因专利侵权而负有的责任仅限于卖方的货物供应商书面同意向卖方提供的任何赔偿（或根据法律规定被视为向卖方提供的赔偿）。货物不适用于高风险应用，包括医疗生命支持、核能、公共和空中运输控制，或其他可能危及生命、其故障可能导致人身伤害或死亡的关键用途。卖方不保证货物适合任何高风险用途。买方同意赔偿、辩护并使卖方免受因货物此类使用而引起的任何损失、损害或索赔。

ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES (WHETHER IMPLIED BY STATUTE OR COMMON LAW OR MADE EXPRESSLY) WHETHER BY SELLER OR ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR INTENDED PURPOSES, DESIGN, QUALITY AND/OR CONDITION OF THE GOODS (INCLUDING ANY FIRMWARE EMBEDDED IN THE GOODS)) ARE EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF INCOME, PROFITS, DATA, OPPORTUNITY OR GOODWILL), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, SELLER’S NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM SELLER’S SUPPLY OF GOODS OR SERVICES TO BUYER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER FOR THE SPECIFIC GOODS AT ISSUE.

所有条款、细则和保证（无论是由法律法规或普通法所隐含或明示地规定），无论是由卖方或其雇员、代理人或其他方式明确规定的保证，(包括但不限于商品的适销性、特定用途的适用性、设计、质量和/或货物的状态（包括货物中嵌入的任何固件）），均在适用法律允许的最大范围内予以排除。在任何情况下，无论基于保证、合同、侵权、卖方的过失或任何其他法律理论，卖方均不对任何间接、后果性、附带的或惩罚性的损害（包括但不限于收入、利润、数据、机会或商业信誉的损失）承担责任。尽管本条款及细则中的任何内容，卖方因向买方供应的货物或服务而产生的总责任不得超过买方就有关货物支付给卖方的金额。

6. PAYMENT

支付
Payments are due on demand but in any case must be paid without offset or deduction no later than 30 days after invoice date. Interest at the lessor of 10% per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law shall be payable on any amount outstanding after the 30-day period. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the charging of the interest is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of any applicable law, but is a genuine pre-estimate of the losses and damage that may be suffered or incurred by Seller as a result of Buyer’s failure to pay within the 30-day period.  Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by Seller during the collection of any sums owed by Buyer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to apply any payment received from Buyer to offset any indebtedness due from Buyer to Seller, whether it is due pursuant to these Terms and Conditions or any other agreements.

货款应按要求支付，但无论如何必须在发票日期后30天内付清，且不得抵消或扣减。30天期限后，任何仍未结清的余额将按照每年10%或法律允许的最高利率中较低者收取逾期利息。买方确认并同意，收取利息并非任何适用法律意义下的没收或惩罚，而是对卖方因买方未能在30天限期内支付款项而可能遭受或承担的损失和损害所作出的真实预估。在追讨买方所欠款项的过程中，买方应赔偿卖方因追讨款项而发生的所有合理法律费用、费用和开支。尽管有任何相反的规定，卖方有绝对的自主权决定将从买方收到的任何付款用于抵消买方对卖方的任何债务，无论该债务是否因本条款及细则或任何其他协议而产生。

7. OWNERSHIP, SECURITY INTEREST

买方同意，在卖方收到全额付款并确认无误之前，所购全部货物的所有权归卖方所有，且所有货物均属卖方的财产。买方同意，卖方应保留对其销售给买方的所有货物及买方销售该货物所得的任何款项的购买抵押权益，直到买方已向卖方全额支付货款和应向卖方支付的任何其他费用。买方同意签署卖方为保护卖方的担保利益所要求的任何财务报表或其他文件。除了本条款及细则所授予的权利和救济外，卖方享有作为担保方的所有权利和救济措施，且前述权利具有累积性。

Requests to cancel or reschedule orders must be agreed to in writing and may or may not be accepted in Seller’s absolute discretion.
