Terms and Conditions of Sale 销售条款及细则

1. 1. GENERAL 总则

“Goods” means all products and related services provided by N.F. Smith & Associates, L.P., Smith & Associates Europe B.V., Smith & Associates Far East Ltd., Smith Global Services Pte. Ltd., or Smith & Associates Deutschland GmbH (“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. These Terms and Conditions shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any change to these Terms and Conditions or additional terms must be specifically agreed to in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Seller.

“货物”（Goods）是指由 N.F. Smith & Associates, L.P.、Smith & Associates Europe B.V.、Smith & Associates Far East Ltd.、Smith Global Services Pte. Ltd或Smith & Associates Deutschland GmbH（以下统称“卖方”）向买方（以下统称“买方”）提供的所有产品及相关服务。所有货物的销售仅依照本《销售条款及细则》（“条款及细则”）进行，而不适用买方的任何采购订单或其他文件。买方一旦接受卖方交付的货物，即视为买方已同意并接受本条款及细则，不论买方在任何先前或后续的沟通中提出的附加或相冲突的条款及细则为何。卖方未对与本条款及细则相冲突的条款提出异议，不应视为卖方放弃其异议权。本条款及细则构成双方就本协议标的事项的完整协议，并取代双方此前就该标的事项所达成的所有协议与谅解。任何对本条款及细则的修改或附加条款，均须经卖方正式授权代表以书面形式明确同意并签署方为有效。

1. 1. 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.

报价须经卖方对买方信用状况、货物可得性及卖方最终确认后方可生效。除非另有说明，所报价格均为美元（USD），且不包含增值税（VAT）、商品及服务税（GST）或其他任何税费。卖方保留权利，对已接受的订单条款进行修订，以纠正错误或遗漏，或根据对货物征收或增加的任何关税、税费或其他政府性收费调整条款。

1. 1. DELIVERY 交付

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.

卖方所报交货日期仅为最佳估算，除非卖方另行书面同意，否则时间不构成本条款的根本要素。迟延交货或部分交货均不构成买方取消订单的权利。买方确认，卖方对因交货延迟所导致的任何损害或损失不承担任何责任。若采用分批交货，买方无权将任何一批货物的瑕疵视为对整笔订单的根本违约。买方须在发现货物短缺、未交货或收到不符合约定或损坏的货物时，立即以书面形式通知卖方。交货完成以货物按照双方约定的国际贸易术语（Incoterms）交付至买方为准。

All Goods are shipped “FCA” Seller’s designated facility (Incoterms 2020). Parties may specifically agree in writing to use a different Incoterm. 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.

所有货物均按“FCA卖方指定场所”（Incoterms 2020）条款发货。双方可另行书面约定使用其他国际贸易术语。尽管双方已约定国际贸易术语，卖方仍须保留货物在交付至买方设施前的所有灭失或损坏风险。有关包装的特殊要求，必须在采购订单中明确列明，并经卖方书面确认方可生效。

1. 1. WARRANTY AND RETURNS 保修与退货

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; 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.

若买方在发票开具之日起30日内以书面形式向卖方通知货物存在缺陷，卖方将根据其自行判断，选择退还货款、修复或更换被确认为有缺陷的货物，缺陷原因包括工艺瑕疵或此前使用所致。非缺陷货物仅在卖方绝对酌情同意的书面许可下方可退回。买方所购货物的退货，仅可在卖方根据适用采购订单及本条款自行裁量的前提下进行，并无论如何不得晚于发票日期后30日，且须满足以下全部条件：1）每张发票仅限提交一次退货授权（RMA）申请‌；2）货物不得为已淘汰产品‌；3）非缺陷货物须随附卖方书面授权，且处于可再销售状态‌，即：全新未使用、保留原厂包装、未开封、所有内外部原厂封条完好无损，并附有全部原装配件（如线缆、软件、文档、手册等）；4）缺陷货物须附有合法的独立第三方检测报告，以确认缺陷存在‌；5）货物须在RMA签发后20日内送达卖方，否则将由买方承担退回费用‌。任何退货前，买方必须事先从卖方获取RMA授权‌；未获授权而自行退货的，货物将按原路退回买方，且买方须承担退回费用，并被收取‌20%的重新入库手续费‌。买方确认并同意，该重新入库手续费并非法律意义上的没收或罚金，而是卖方因买方未依本条款及细则获取RMA所可能遭受或承担的损失与损害的合理预估。所有退回卖方的货物，其所有权自动转移至卖方。所有寄售货物及特殊订单均按“现状”（AS IS）出售，卖方不提供任何明示或默示的担保，且不接受任何形式的退货。

1. 1. DISCLAIMER; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 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 warranty 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.

买方确认，卖方并非货物的制造商，且无义务提供货物变更通知、原产地证书、材料成分说明、贸易优惠地位或其他类似信息。若卖方提供此类信息，该等信息均按“现状”提供，买方须自行核实其准确性。卖方不对任何货物所涉及的专利、商标、商号或服务标志（统称“知识产权”）作出任何陈述或保证。卖方对知识产权侵权的责任，严格限于货物供应商已书面同意（或依法视为已同意）向卖方提供的赔偿范围。货物不适用于高风险应用‌，包括但不限于：医疗生命支持系统、核能发电、大众运输及航空交通控制系统，或其他可能导致人身伤害或死亡的潜在危及生命的应用场景。卖方不作任何保证，表明货物适用于任何高风险用途。买方同意赔偿、辩护并使卖方免受因货物用于上述高风险用途而引发的任何损失、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, INDEMNITY, STRICT LIABILITY, 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、细则与担保（无论是成文法或普通法默示的，还是明示的，或由卖方、其雇员、代理人或其他方作出，包括但不限于关于货物的适销性、特定用途适用性、设计、质量及状况的担保，涵盖货物内嵌的任何固件），均在适用法律允许的最大范围内被完全排除。在任何情况下，卖方均不对任何间接、附带、偶然或惩罚性损害承担责任，包括但不限于收入、利润、数据、商业机会或商誉的损失，无论该等责任基于担保、赔偿、严格责任、合同、侵权、卖方过失或其他任何法律理论。尽管本条款另有规定，卖方因向买方供应货物或服务而产生的全部责任，无论何种原因，均不得超过买方就所涉具体货物实际支付给卖方的金额。

1. 1. PAYMENT 付款条款

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 lesser 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.

款项应按要求立即支付，但无论如何，买方须在发票开具之日起30日内全额支付，不得有任何抵销或扣减。若超过30日仍有未付金额，卖方有权收取利息，利率为年利率10%与适用法律所允许的最高利率两者中的较低者。买方确认并同意，该利息的收取并非旨在构成任何适用法律意义上的没收或罚金，而是卖方因买方未能在30日内付款所可能遭受的损失与损害的合理预估。买方应赔偿卖方因追收买方所欠款项而产生的所有合理法律费用、成本及支出。尽管本条款另有规定，卖方有权在其绝对酌情决定下，将从买方收到的任何款项用于抵扣买方对卖方所负的任何债务，无论该债务系依据本条款及细则或其他协议所产生。

1. 1. OWNERSHIP, SECURITY INTEREST 所有权与担保权益

Buyer agrees that title to all Goods purchased shall be vested in Seller, and all Goods shall remain as Seller’s properties until the corresponding invoice is paid in full to the satisfaction of Seller. Buyer agrees that Seller shall retain a purchase security interest in all Goods which it has sold to Buyer, and to any proceeds from the disposition of the Goods, until the purchase price and any other charges due to Seller have been paid in full. Buyer agrees to execute any financial statements or other documents which Seller may request in order to protect Seller’s security interest. In addition to the rights and remedies granted by these Terms and Conditions, Seller shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party, which rights shall be cumulative.

买方同意，在买方全额付清对应发票款项并获得卖方确认之前，所购全部货物的所有权均归属于卖方，且所有货物均视为卖方财产。买方进一步同意，卖方对所售货物及其任何处置所得收益，保留购买担保权益，直至买方付清全部货款及其他应付卖方的费用为止。买方应根据卖方要求，签署任何财务报表或其他文件，以保障卖方的担保权益。除本条款及细则所授予的权利与救济外，卖方享有作为担保权人所享有的全部权利与救济，且该等权利可叠加行使。

1. 1. CANCELLATIONS AND RE-SCHEDULES 订单取消与重新排期

Requests to cancel or reschedule orders must be agreed to in writing and may or may not be accepted in Seller’s absolute discretion. Without waiving any of its rights, Seller is entitled to recover its costs incurred and profits lost as a result of Buyer’s cancellation or rescheduling of an order. Seller expressly reserves the right to cancel accepted orders without liability: (1) if the Goods are no longer available; or (2) as otherwise required in Smith’s reasonable opinion.

任何取消或重新安排订单的请求，须经卖方书面同意，且是否接受完全由卖方自行决定。在不放弃任何权利的前提下，卖方有权就买方取消或重新安排订单而产生的成本及利润损失向买方追偿。卖方明确保留在以下情形下取消已接受订单且无需承担任何责任的权利：（1）货物已不再可供；或（2）根据Smith的合理判断，取消订单属必要行为。

In such case, Seller shall provide Buyer prompt written notice and Seller’s obligations shall be suspended during the continuance of the Force Majeure condition.
