(b) “ALP” means Ellworth Industries Ltd.;

(c) “Goods” means items purchased by Purchaser pursuant to a PO;

(d) “Purchaser” means the party placing an order for Goods pursuant to a PO;

(e) “PO” means each purchase order issued by Purchaser for Goods, or where no purchase order has been issued, means an accepted quote for Goods subsequently ordered; and

2. Shipment, Delivery and Acceptance

2.1 Shipment and Delivery Unless otherwise expressly stated in the PO, ALP will select the method of shipment and carrier for the Goods. ALP may, in its sole discretion, make partial shipments. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale and Purchaser will pay for the shipped Goods in accordance with the payment terms specified in these Terms, whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfilment of the Goods. ALP will cause the delivery of the Goods to the delivery address specified in the PO, or as otherwise agreed between the parties.

2.2 Over/Under RunA shipment of Goods may be over or under the quantity specified in a PO by up to 10% and the parties accept such quantity without adjustment to the Purchase Price.

2.3 Timing of DeliveryAny time or date quoted for delivery is an estimate only. ALP will use reasonable efforts to deliver all Goods on or before the agreed upon delivery date as set out in the accepted PO. If a shipment of Goods is delayed for more than 15 days after the agreed upon delivery date and if such delay is not due to any action or inaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may, as its sole remedy, cancel the portion of the PO covering the delayed Goods by giving written notice to ALP. Subject to the foregoing, no delay in shipment or delivery relieves Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

2.4 Transfer of Title and Risk of LossUnless otherwise set out in the PO, transfer of title and risk of loss are FOB Origin.

2.5 Inspection and AcceptancePurchaser will inspect all Goods received under the PO within 7 Days of receipt (the “Inspection Period”) and either accept or, only if any such Goods do not materially conform with the specifications set out in the PO, reject such quantity of Goods that do not materially conform with such specifications. Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it provides ALP with written notice of any nonconforming Goods within the Inspection Period, specifying all defects and non-conformities and furnishing such other written evidence or documentation as may be reasonably required by ALP. All defects and non-conformities not specified will be deemed waived by Purchaser and such Goods will be deemed accepted by Purchaser, at ALP’s sole discretion. If Purchaser notifies ALP of any nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period, ALP will determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether the Goods are non-conforming. If ALP determines that such Goods are non-conforming, ALP will, in its sole discretion, either: (a) replace the non-conforming Goods with conforming Goods; or (b) refund the amount paid for such nonconforming Goods returned by Purchaser. Purchaser will ship all non-conforming Goods as directed by ALP. If ALP exercises its option to replace non-conforming Goods, ALP will ship to the delivery address specified in the PO or otherwise agreed, at ALP’s expense, the replacement Goods. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE DELIVERY OF NON-CONFORMING GOODS.
