By placing an order, accepting or paying for the goods specified on the face of this order or quotation, Purchaser agrees to the terms and conditions of sale contained herein. If Purchaser objects to any of these terms, such objection shall be in writing and received by SONIX at the address stated on the front hereof prior to commencement of performance by SONIX. Additional or different terms in Purchaser’s purchase order or other forms shall not be deemed objections hereto, unless specifically and conspicuously labeled “objections”. Any additional or different terms contained in Purchaser’s form are objected to by SONIX without need of further notice, and shall not be binding on SONIX unless expressly accepted in writing by an officer of SONIX. SONIX written confirmation of the order shall not constitute an acceptance by SONIX in writing of any additional or different terms contained in purchaser’s form.
If SONIX extends credit to Purchaser, terms of payment shall be net 30 days from invoice date unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by SONIX. Interest shall be assessed on any amounts outstanding after 30 days in the amount of the lesser of 1 1/2% per month of the unpaid balance (annual rate of 18%) or the maximum interest rate allowed by law. If purchase is being made from outside the United States of America, payment shall be made in lawful, unblocked, free United States of America dollar exchange. SONIX reserves the right to withdraw any offer to sell or to cancel any agreement prior to shipment of goods if, in SONIX’s sole judgment, Purchaser’s credit record is inadequate.

Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this order or quotation: (a) shipments shall be ExWorks; (b) SONIX, at its option, may hold all goods for shipment at one time, or may make partial shipment provided any agreed delivery schedule is met subject to item 4 of these terms; and (c) each shipment shall be treated as a separate contract for the purposes of these Terms of Sale, and SONIX may refuse to make additional shipments if Purchaser is in breach with respect to any prior shipment. In the event of shipments arranged by SONIX, Purchaser may request that a shipment be insured at net value or minimum coverage provided by carrier, whichever is greater. In the event of damage or loss in shipment, Purchaser should file a timely claim with the carrier and also notify SONIX.
The scheduled shipping date, if any, upon the face of this document is SONIX’s best estimate at the time the order is entered, but SONIX shall not be liable for any failure or delay in making delivery of the product by the due date, unless such failure is reckless or willful. The existence of delay, other than delay from SONIX’s recklessness or willfulness, shall automatically extend the time of performance and delivery by SONIX to the extent necessary to enable it to make delivery with reasonable diligence after the causes of the delay have been removed. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in a writing signed by a SONIX officer, SONIX will not accept purchase orders or make offers to sell products on terms which provide that “time is of the essence”.
