STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE


  1. These terms and conditions of sale ("Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of hardware and software products ("Products") by 1036950 Alberta LTD. dba LCO TECHNOLOGIES (“Seller”) to the buyer purchasing the Products ("Buyer"). These Terms and the accompanying quotation, sales confirmation, bill of lading, and invoice documents (collectively, this “Agreement”) are the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, negotiations, representations agreements, and warranties, and communications, whether written or oral. These Terms prevail over any other terms in Buyer’s purchase order or any other document ordering Products, and any third party procurement platform, which are all hereby rejected and shall be void. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. Any Buyer terms and conditions are expressly rejected. Buyer’s acceptance of any quotation is subject to Buyer’s assent to these Terms, and Buyer's assent to these Terms shall be conclusively presumed from Buyer’s submission of its purchase order.  
  2. Formation of Contract. An order is deemed by Seller to be an offer to purchase, which Seller may accept or reject in its sole discretion. Seller’s acceptance of an offer to purchase is binding on Seller only if made by written instrument or, if not by written instrument, by shipment of the Products ordered (and acceptance by shipment shall only be binding as to the portion of the order actually shipped by Seller). Any automatic or computer-generated response to an order by Seller or otherwise shall not be deemed acceptance of an order. Seller is under no obligation to accept any Order. Any quotation is valid for thirty (30) days, unless otherwise indicated on the quotation. All quotations are subject to change at any time.  
  3. Prices and Taxes. All prices are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include packing and preparation for shipment, freight, loading, unloading, carriage, insurance, forwarding fees, duties of any kind or similar fees or charges applicable to the Products. Buyer agrees to pay such charges upon receipt of Seller’s invoice. Prices also do not include taxes, duties, charges, or fees (or any related fines, penalties, or interest) (collectively, “Taxes”), now or thereafter enacted, applicable to the Products sold or this transaction; any such Taxes will be added by Seller to the sales price where Seller is required by law to collect the same, and will be paid by Buyer unless Buyer provides Seller with a proper tax-exemption certificate. Buyer shall have no right of set-off or withholding, and no deduction of any amounts due from Buyer to Seller shall be made without Seller’s prior, express written approval.  
  4. Title and Delivery. Seller retains the right and title to the Products sold to Buyer until Seller is paid in full for the Products. Buyer shall obtain the right and title to the Products upon payment to Seller of the purchase price and any taxes, excise or other charges. The agreed upon delivery dates are based on the Seller's projected lead time, current inventory and commitments. Seller shall have the right to allocate the available supply among its Buyers in any manner it determines appropriate in its sole discretion. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to meet dates specified for the delivery of Products, however all shipment and delivery dates are estimates only. Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any damages, losses or expenses if Seller fails to meet the estimated delivery date. Seller may deliver the Products in installments. All shipments shall be F.O.B. Seller's facility unless otherwise specified in writing on the Order. The method and route of shipment shall be at Seller's discretion, unless Buyer supplies explicit reasonable instructions in writing at least seven (7) days prior to shipment. Buyer assumes risk of loss of the Products upon the Products departing Seller's facility, regardless of whether Seller has arranged for the transportation of the Products.  
  5. Inspection, Acceptance and Return of Products. Buyer must inspect Products immediately upon receipt and shall, within five (5) business days of receipt (the “Inspection Period”), give written notice to Seller of any claim that Products shipped constitute Nonconforming Products. "Nonconforming Products" means (i) Product shipped is different than specified on the Buyer’s purchase order; or (ii) Product is visibly damaged. Buyer will be deemed to have accepted Products unless it notifies Seller as stated herein and provides evidence as required by Seller. If Buyer receives Products where defects or nonconformities are not apparent upon initial examination or are not discovered until after the Inspection Period has passed, such Products shall be subject to the warranty set forth in Section 8 below. If Buyer notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Products in writing within the Inspection Period, Seller shall, in its sole discretion replace such Nonconforming Products, or credit or refund the payments made for such Nonconforming Products only. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products. In the event Products are returned which are not Nonconforming Products, Buyer shall be liable for restocking charges. Except as provided in this Agreement, Buyer has no right to return Products to Seller.  
  6. Payment. All payments shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date of Seller’s invoice. Seller may suspend credit to Buyer and may withhold shipment of Products 1 ordered, suspend or cancel performance if, in Seller’s sole discretion, Buyer’s financial condition warrants any such action. If the Products are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the terms of payment hereof. If shipments are delayed by Buyer, payments are due from the date when Seller is prepared to make delivery. Products held for Buyer, shall be held at Buyer’s sole risk and expense. Products held for more than thirty (30) days may incur reasonable storage charges. All amounts due shall be paid as directed by Seller on its invoice or otherwise as specified in a written notice. Delinquent invoices are subject to a service charge of the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowable by law, which shall be added to the invoice amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Buyer fails to fulfill the terms of payment, Seller may defer further shipments, or may, at its option, cancel the unshipped balance. Seller reserves the right, prior to making any shipment, to require from Buyer satisfactory security for performance of Buyer’s obligations.  
  7. Software. "Software" means the application or object code form of Seller’s software and documentation related thereto, including without limitation any control or instrument software included with the Product. Seller provides all Software under separate terms and conditions and subject to Buyer's assent to such terms and conditions. Buyer understands and agrees that the Software is not being provided as a “work for hire” under any applicable local, state, federal, international or other laws and this is not an agreement for the sale of the Software. By downloading, installing, using, unwrapping, or issuing a purchase order for the Software, Buyer agrees that the Software is accepted as delivered and agrees to the terms and conditions applicable thereto. 
  8. Limited Warranty.
