Subject to the provisions hereof, all quotes submitted are firm for 30 days from the date of the quotation unless indicated differently on the face of the quotation or withdrawn earlier by written notice.

E. Orders are subject to all of Seller's General Terms and Conditions printed below.
The terms and conditions of sale contained herein, and as amended by Seller from time to time, apply to Seller's quotations and purchase orders placed by Buyer with Seller. These terms and conditions may in some instances conflict with some of the terms and conditions on Buyer's form of purchase order or otherwise specified by the Buyer or these terms and conditions may cover matters not addressed in Buyer’s documentation. Therefore, acceptance of the Buyer's order is made only on the express understanding and condition that insofar as the terms and conditions of this acceptance conflict with any terms and conditions of the Buyer's order or cover matters not addressed in Buyer’s documentation, Seller’s terms and conditions govern, irrespective of whether the Buyer accepts these conditions by a written acknowledgment, by implication, or by acceptance and payment for goods ordered. Seller's failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Buyer will not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this acceptance. Neither Seller’s commencement of performance nor delivery shall be deemed or construed as acceptance of any different or additional Buyer terms. By placing an order for products from Seller, or by accepting delivery of the products described on the applicable packing slip, bill of lading and/or invoice received with the Seller products, Buyer agrees to be bound by and accept these terms and conditions of sale. Any changes from the terms and conditions of sale contained herein must be specifically agreed to in writing by an authorized officer of Seller before becoming binding on the Seller. All orders or contracts must be approved and accepted by the Seller at its head office at 49 Discovery, Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92618, U.S.A. From time to time, Seller may accept certain of Buyer’s terms and conditions of sale by signing Buyer’s proposed sale agreement. If such acceptance is preceded or accompanied by Seller’s interpretation of Buyer’s terms and conditions, such interpretation shall control the construction or interpretation of the meaning of Buyer’s terms and conditions.
Prices are specified by Seller in U.S. Dollars (unless another denomination is expressly identified). All prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements or other terms and conditions that are not a part of the original price quotation. All prices are subject to adjustment either directly or by the addition of a precious metals surcharge in order to cover the cost of precious metals utilized by Seller in supplying goods. If Buyer fails to take delivery hereunder of the quantity of goods upon which a quantity discount price, if any, is based, Buyer will be back-billed an amount based upon the quantity actually delivered hereunder and upon the quantity pricing schedule in effect at the time the order was placed. Such charges shall be in addition to any cancellation charges. Prices apply only if the quantity ordered hereunder is released within 12 months and shipments scheduled no more than 12 months from the date Seller received Buyer's order. Otherwise, Seller's standard prices in effect on the date of receipt by Buyer of the quantity actually shipped apply, and Buyer shall pay the difference in price, if any. Prices are exclusive of all federal, state, municipal or other government excise, sales, use, value added, occupational or like taxes. Prices are consequently subject to increase by the amount of any such tax that Seller pays or is required to pay or collect upon sale or delivery of products. Any certificate of exemptions or similar document or proceeding required to exempt the sale of products from sales or use tax liability shall be obtained by Buyer, at its expense.
Terms are payment in advance, except where satisfactory open account credit is established, in which case terms are net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. The amount of credit or terms of payment may be changed or credit withdrawn by Seller at any time for any reason. Seller reserves the right at any time to revoke any credit extended to Buyer for any risk deemed sufficient by Seller. Seller will issue invoices on delivery in the case of all products; if deliveries are made in installments, each shipment shall be invoiced and payable when due without regard to other scheduled deliveries. Overdue payments shall be subject to finance charges computed at a periodic rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by law. All amounts owed by Buyer with respect to which there is no dispute shall be paid without set-off of any amount that Buyer may claim is owed by Seller and regardless of any other controversies that may exist. On any order on which credit is not extended by Seller, shipment or delivery shall be made at Seller's election. Payment must be made for the goods without regard to whether Buyer has made or will make any inspection of the goods. In the event of default by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to recover from Buyer costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Seller in collecting amounts owed by Buyer, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other costs of collection.
Buyer shall notify Seller upon receipt of goods of all discoverable defects, including quantity shortages, incorrect product, and visible defects, but no later than 30 days of receipt. No return of goods will be accepted by Seller without a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) Number and returned goods must be in original manufacturer’s shipping cartons complete with all packing materials. In the event that Buyer does not either complete final inspection and accept the goods or present a rejection notice to Seller in writing within 30 days of delivery, the goods shall be conclusively deemed accepted. At that time, Buyer’s only recourse or remedy for non-conforming or defective goods shall be Seller’s standard warranty. Buyer's inspection and/or acceptance tests shall not exceed the inspection and/or test procedures customary in the industry for the goods furnished and is at Buyer's expense.
Seller warrants to Buyer that goods sold hereunder that are standard products of Seller will conform to the applicable Seller Specifications and be free from defects caused by defective material and faulty workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment to Buyer. For goods that are not standard products of Seller, such as prototypes, engineering samples, test boards, pre-production qualified products, and custom-designed products, Seller warrants to Buyer that such goods delivered hereunder will conform to the Seller’s applicable published datasheet specification and be free of defects in material and faulty workmanship upon receipt by Buyer. Specification as used herein shall mean the guaranteed minimum and maximum levels set forth in Seller’s published datasheets in effect at time of sale. Seller further warrants that at time of delivery, Seller has free and clear title to the goods without liens and encumbrances.
SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO SALES OR ORDERS FOR NONSTANDARD, SUB-GRADE GOODS OR PURCHASES THROUGH UNAUTHORIZED SALES CHANNELS. GOODS SOLD UNDER SUCH SALES OR ORDERS ARE FURNISHED “AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS.”
Seller's sole and maximum liability for breach of its warranties herein is limited to the obligation, at Seller’s sole discretion, to rescreen, reprocess or provide replacement goods, or credit Buyer's account for any goods delivered hereunder which either become defective or fail to meet the applicable specifications during the warranty period and which are found by Seller to be defective under the terms of this warranty, provided that (a) Seller is notified in writing by Buyer within 30 days after discovery of defects or failure to meet Specifications; (b) Buyer obtains a Return Material Authorization Number from Seller prior to returning any defective goods to Seller; (c) the defective goods are returned to Seller, transportation charges prepaid by Buyer (provided, however, that if upon examination by Seller, it determines that the goods are entitled to this warranty, then Seller shall be responsible for all transportation charges to and from Seller's facility); (d) the defective goods are received by Seller for adjustment no later than four (4) weeks following the last day of the warranty period; and (e) Seller's examination of such goods shall disclose that such defects or failures have not been caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, improper installation or application, repair, alteration, damage by rain, fire or casualty or by accident or negligence in use, storage, transportation or handling. In addition, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer to the extent such failure is caused by non-compatibility with other components used by Buyer. In the event that any one or more of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied, Seller shall have no liability under this warranty whatsoever. Buyer has an obligation to mitigate any damages related to integration of defective or non-conforming Parts. If Buyer has knowledge that such goods are defective or non-conforming or Seller has advised Buyer that goods are defective or non-conforming and in either event Buyer integrates such defective goods, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any damages incurred by Buyer as a result. In the event that the foregoing exclusive remedy under this warranty is determined upon judicial review to have failed in its essential purpose through no fault of Buyer, the alternate exclusive remedy shall be the refund of the purchase price of the non-conforming or defective goods. Any repairs to or alterations on the goods shipped hereunder must be authorized in writing by Seller to prevent voiding Seller's warranty.
Seller's goods may be prohibited for shipment to certain countries, entities or individuals under U.S. export regulations. Seller is not liable to Buyer for any delays or failure to obtain the necessary export license.
Seller makes NO WARRANTY as to products, prototypes, engineering samples, test boards, pre-production qualified products, products used as described in Section 20 below, or products not manufactured by Seller. All such unwarranted products are sold to Buyer “AS IS”.
Seller's warranties as hereinabove set forth shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by, and no obligation or liability shall arise or grow out of, Seller's rendering of technical advice or service in connection with Buyer's order of the products furnished hereunder.
SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO HONOR THESE WARRANTIES IS CONTINGENT UPON SELLER'S RECEIPT OF PAYMENT IN FULL FOR THE GOODS ENTITLED TO THIS WARRANTY. SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SELLER HAS NOT AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OTHER THAN AS PROVIDED ABOVE.
THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE WARRANTY LIABILITY OF SELLER.
Acceptance of goods is a warranty by Buyer that Buyer is solvent as of the date of shipment. With respect to goods delivered hereunder, Buyer agrees to accept responsibility for (i) their selection to achieve Buyer's intended results, (ii) their use, (iii) the results obtained therefrom and (iv) the selection of, use of and results obtained from any equipment, programs or services not provided by Seller and used in connection with goods delivered hereunder. Buyer further warrants that it is buying for its own internal use and not for resale, unless otherwise agreed between Buyer and Seller under separate written agreement.
With respect to goods manufactured solely to Seller's designs and specifications, Seller shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer insofar as such suit or proceeding is based on a claim that any such goods furnished hereunder infringe any patent(s), copyright(s) or trademark(s), or for misappropriation or use of any trade secret(s), or for unfair competition, if Seller is notified promptly in writing of such suit or proceeding and is given full and complete authority, information and assistance by Buyer for such defense. Seller shall pay all damages and costs finally awarded against Buyer in any such suit or proceeding, but Seller shall not be responsible for any compromise thereof made by Buyer without the written consent of Seller. If infringement is alleged prior to the completion of delivery of the goods, Seller may decline to make further shipments without being in breach of any agreement. In the event that such goods are held in such suit or proceeding to be infringing and their use is enjoined, or if in the opinion of Seller such goods are likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Seller at its sole discretion and at its own expense, may either (a) procure for Buyer the right to continue using such goods; (b) modify such goods so that they become non-infringing; (c) replace such goods with non-infringing goods; or (d) accept the return of such goods, granting Buyer a refund or credit equal to the depreciated value. Seller’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any alleged infringement occurring after Buyer has received notice of such alleged infringement unless Seller thereafter gives to Buyer written consent for such continuing alleged infringement.
Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer (to defend or make any payment to or for Buyer) for any infringement, misappropriation or misuse claimed by any third party or parties if any such claim arises, in whole or in part, (a) as a result of a modification of the goods not introduced or approved by Seller; or (b) as a result of the interconnection or use of the goods in combination with goods or other devices or with a manufacturing or other process; or (c) the use of the goods in other than an application recommended by Seller or (d) compliance with Buyer’s design, specifications and/or instructions. If Buyer alleges intellectual property infringement against a third party pursuant to Buyer's intellectual property portfolio and as a result the alleged infringer crossclaims against Buyer alleging among other things infringement by goods manufactured by Seller, Seller’s liability for the resulting attorney fees and costs will be proportional to the extent to which Seller’s goods, as opposed to third party goods, are found to have infringed third party intellectual property rights
With respect to goods manufactured to Buyer's designs or specifications, Buyer shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Seller, either severally or jointly with Buyer, insofar as such suit or proceeding is based on a claim, that any such goods furnished hereunder infringe (either direct or contributory) any patent(s), copyright(s), or trademark(s), or for misappropriation or use of any trade secret(s) or for unfair competition, arising from (i) compliance with Buyer's designs, specifications, or instructions; (ii) the use of any item or any part thereof, furnished hereunder, in combination with goods not supplied by Seller, or (iii) in connection with a manufacturing or other process utilizing any item, or part thereof, furnished hereunder. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly in writing of such suit or proceeding and give Buyer full and complete authority, information and assistance for such defense. Buyer shall pay all damages and costs finally awarded against Seller in any such suit or proceeding, but Buyer shall not be responsible for any compromise thereof made by Seller without the written consent of Buyer.

Goods or any parts thereof sold hereunder may be protected by intellectual property rights of Seller, including, but not limited to, rights under issued and pending patents, mask work rights, copyright rights, trademark rights and trade secret rights. Neither the sale of goods or any parts thereof hereunder nor the provision by Seller of any supporting or related documentation, technical information or advice shall confer on Buyer any license, express or implied, under any intellectual property rights of Seller covering or related to (i) apparatus or circuits in which the goods or parts thereof may be used; (ii) a process, machine, use or application in connection with which the goods or parts hereof may be used; (iii) the process of their manufacturer; or (iv) a combination in which the goods or parts hereof may be used.
Any tax or government charge by any federal, state or municipal government applicable to the goods sold hereunder now imposed or hereafter becoming effective during the term of any contract made hereunder, except for Seller’s franchise taxes and taxes on Seller’s net income, shall be added by Seller to the sales price where Seller has the legal obligation to collect or pay same, and shall be paid by Buyer unless Buyer provides Seller with a proper tax-exemption certificate.

Buyer understands that any delivery schedule set forth herein or in any subsequent order or release is estimated only and is presented in good faith by Seller.

Delays or changes in schedules due to Buyer directed actions are subject to price adjustments.
Seller reserves the right to allocate production and deliveries among its various customers under any circumstances. Buyer will be deemed to have waived any and all claims for shipments containing less than the number of goods indicated on the shipping documents unless written notice of such claims is received by Seller within 30 days after receipt of shipment.
No cancellations will be accepted within 20 weeks of the earliest requested ship date. All cancellations of orders by the Buyer inside the 20-week window prior to the earliest requested ship date shall result in a charge to Buyer to be determined by the Seller based on such factors as whether the product was manufactured specifically for Buyer, Seller's ability to change its production schedule within the period of the notice provided by Buyer, and whether Seller acquired or allocated particular supplies or equipment to meet Buyer's order.
One-time Rescheduling might be acceptable for special cases that are mutually agreed by both parties as long as the shipment is scheduled within the same calendar year. Any reschedule of an order by the Buyer within twelve (12) weeks prior to the earliest requested ship date shall result in a charge to Buyer to be determined by the Seller based on such factors as whether the product was manufactured specifically for Buyer, Seller's ability to change its production schedule within the period of the notice provided by Buyer, and whether Seller acquired or allocated particular supplies or equipment to meet Buyer's order.
Each shipment made under any order will be treated as a separate sale and transaction, but in the event of any default by Buyer, if Seller elects to continue to make shipment, its action will not constitute a waiver of any default by Buyer or in any way affect Seller's legal remedies for any such default.
Seller shall not be liable for delay in performance or failure to perform in whole or in part the terms of this Agreement due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including, without limitation, strike, labor disputes, shortages of material, war, riot or civil commotion, acts of the public enemy, insurrection, pandemic, sabotage, or fire, flood or other acts of God. The period for performance for the party affected by such a cause shall be extended by the duration of the condition, provided, however, if any such delay shall continue for more than 120 days from the start of the cause of delay, the quantities undelivered during such period of delay or to be delivered, may be canceled at Seller's election without liability of Seller to Buyer by written notice to Buyer at any time.

All claims for breakage or damage must be made to the carrier, however, Seller will render reasonable assistance in securing satisfactory adjustment of such claims.

Seller may substitute goods manufactured to such modified specifications for those specified herein provided such goods substantially conform to the order or contract.
Buyer agrees not to use or disclose drawings, specifications, technical information or other data furnished by Seller and identified by Seller as confidential or proprietary data without the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that any improvement or modification to such confidential or proprietary data shall be the sole property of Seller, regardless of whether any such improvement or modification was the creation of Buyer. Buyer further agrees to use all appropriate copyright and proprietary notices on all goods delivered hereunder regardless of their intended use. Buyer recognizes that such proprietary data is unique and consents to the remedy of injunction in addition to damages for violation of the terms of this provision.

In the event of the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator for all or a portion of Buyer's property, Buyer's insolvency, or any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against Buyer, Seller may terminate any order without further obligation or liability of Seller to Buyer. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this contract shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
