Terms and Conditions of Purchase

1. ACCEPTANCE. These Terms and Conditions of Purchase and all documents referenced herein (collectively, the “Order”) is an offer by LuminUltra (“Buyer”) to purchase the goods (“Goods”) and/or services (“Services” and together with the Goods, the “Deliverables”) described in Buyer’s purchase order from the person or entity to whom the purchase order is addressed (“Seller”). Acceptance is limited to the terms of the Order. The Order is the only terms and conditions which govern the purchase of Deliverables by Buyer and supersede all prior and contemporaneous terms and conditions, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties suggesting additional or different terms. Any proposal for additional or different terms or any attempt by Seller to vary in any degree any of the provisions of the Order is hereby deemed material and objected to and rejected. No terms of any document or form submitted by Seller shall be effective to alter or add to the provisions contained in the Order. Unless otherwise stated herein, Seller’s acknowledgment of the Order, shipment of Goods or commencement of any Services shall constitute acceptance by Seller of the Order.

2. PRICES. The prices are the lower of Seller’s prevailing prices or as stated on the Order and are otherwise fixed, firm and not subject to increase. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Buyer in writing, the price includes all taxes (sales, use, excise, privilege, ad valorem, and other taxes, duties, tariffs and assessments now or hereafter imposed or levied) and charges for packing, hauling, storage and transportation to Buyer’s designated point of delivery. Any price reduction subsequent to the Order but prior to payment will be applied to the Order. Buyer is not obligated to any minimum purchase or future purchase obligations under this Order. Forecasts, estimates and similar projections of Buyer are not purchase commitments. Buyer shall have no obligation to purchase or otherwise compensate Seller for any of Seller’s finished products, work in process or raw materials, not expressly covered by an Order issued by Buyer. If Seller sells or offers to sell any goods or services of the same or similar type as the Deliverables at a lower price and/or on more favorable terms or conditions to any other person or entity, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall have the option to have such more favorable price, terms and/or conditions applied to this Order and Orders thereafter.

3. PAYMENT TERMS. Seller shall issue an invoice to Buyer on or any time after the completion of delivery of Goods or Services. Unless otherwise agreed, Buyer shall pay all properly invoiced amounts due to Seller within 60 days after Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, except for any amounts disputed by Buyer. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, Buyer reserves the right to set off at any time any amount owing to it by Seller against any amount payable by Buyer to Seller.
