Sales Terms and Conditions
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale
These terms and conditions govern the sale of Products ("Product or Products") and provisions of
services ("Services") by Leader Communications LLC (LC) and its affiliates ("Seller") as well as by
third party vendors and/or service providers of Seller. These terms and conditions ("Agreement")
take precedence over Buyer's supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of
objection is hereby given. Neither Seller's commencement of performance or delivery shall be
deemed or construed as acceptance of Buyer's supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions.
LC's failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this
agreement. Buyer's acceptance of the Products and/or Services from Seller shall be deemed to
constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.
1. Orders: All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller. Orders may not be
cancelled or rescheduled without Seller's written consent. All orders must identify the products,
unit quantities, part numbers, applicable prices and requested delivery dates of the Products
being purchased. Seller may in its sole discretion allocate Product among its Customers. Seller
may designate certain Products and Services as non-cancelable, non-returnable ("NCNR") and the
sale of such Products shall be subject to the special terms and conditions contained in Seller's
Customer Acknowledgement or NCNR Product Form, which shall prevail and supersede any
inconsistent terms and conditions contained herein or elsewhere.
2. Prices: The prices of the Products are those prices specified on the front of the invoice. Pricing
for undelivered Products may be increased in the event of an increase in Seller's cost, change in
market conditions or any other causes beyond the Seller's reasonable control. Price quotations
shall automatically expire in thirty (30) days from the date issued, or as otherwise stated in the
quotation.
3. Taxes: Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all prices quoted are exclusive of
transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including federal, state and local sales,
excise and value added, goods and services taxes, and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to
indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as
the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable,
transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Seller's invoice.
4. Payment: Payment may be made by check, money order, credit card, or wire transfer (all fees
are borne by the Buyer). Where Seller has extended credit to Buyer, terms of payment shall be net
thirty (30) days from date of invoice, without offset or deduction. On any past due invoice, Seller
may impose interest at the rate of one and a half percent [1.5%] per month. If Buyer fails to make
each payment when it is due, Seller reserves the right to change or withdraw credit and thereby
suspend or cancel performance under any or all purchase orders or agreements in which Seller
has extended credit to Buyer. In the event of default by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to costs,
fees, and expenses, including but not limited to recovery of attorney fees, court costs and fees,
and collections costs.
5. Delivery and Title: All deliveries will be made "EXWORKS" place of shipment. Title and risk of
loss pass to the Buyer upon delivery of the Product to the carrier. Seller's delivery dates are
estimates only and Seller is not liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes
beyond the reasonable control of the Seller, nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of the
Seller. A delayed delivery of any part of an Order does not entitle Buyer to cancel other deliveries.
6. Acceptance / Returns: Shipments will be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer upon
delivery of the said shipments to Buyer unless rejected upon receipt. Buyer shall perform all
inspections and tests Buyer deems necessary as promptly as possible but in no event later than 7
days after delivery of product, at which time Buyer will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted
the Products. Any discrepancy in shipment quantity must be reported within 7 days after delivery.
Buyer may not return Products without a return material authorization ("RMA") number. RMA valid
for 30day from date issued. Buyer may not return NCNR Products. Any product returned by Buyer
due to Buyer's error may be subject to a restocking charge equivalent to 100% of the value of such
Product as specified in Seller's invoice to Buyer.
7. Limited Warranty: Seller will transfer to Buyer any Product warranties and indemnities
authorized by the manufacturer, including any transferable warranties and indemnities for
intellectual property infringement. Seller warrants to Buyer that Products purchased hereunder
will conform to the applicable manufacturer's specifications for such products and that any
value-added work performed by Seller on such Products will conform to applicable Buyer's
specifications. If Seller breaches this warranty, Buyer's remedy is limited to (at Seller's election) (1)
refund of Buyer's purchase price for such Production (without interest), (2) repair of such Products,
or (3) replacement of such Products; provided that such Products must be returned to Seller, along
with acceptable evidence of purchase, within 20 days from date of delivery, transportation charges
prepaid. No warranty will apply if the Product has been subject to misuse, static discharge,
neglect, accident or modification, or has been soldered.
SAVE AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
TERMS AND CONDITIONS (WHETHER STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) ARE EXCLUDED TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN PARTICULAR, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY
RESPECTING THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS OR THEIR SUITABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS AND

COSTS, INJURY TO REPUTATION OR LOSS OF BUYERS, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, IPR INFRINGEMENT,
LOSS OF CONTRACTS OR ORDERS OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE. BUYER'S RECOVERY FROM SELLER FOR ANY
CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR THE AFFECTED PRODUCTS
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, OR
OTHERWISE. BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM ANY
CLAIMS BASED ON (a) SELLER'S COMPLIANCE WITH BUYER'S DESIGNS, SPECIFICATIONS, OR
INSTRUCTIONS, (b) MODIFICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS BY ANYONE OTHER THAN SELLER, or (c)
USE IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS.
9. Export Control : Buyer certifies that it will be the recipient of the Products to be delivered by
Seller. Buyer acknowledges that the Products are subject to the export/import control laws and
regulations of various countries, including the Export Administration Laws of the United States.
Products sold by Seller cannot be transferred, sold or re-exported to any part on the Entity List or
Restricted Person List of the U. S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security, any
party designated by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, and any party
debarred or sanctioned for proliferation or terrorism reasons by the U.S. State Department.
10. Use of Products: Products sold by Seller are not designed, intended or authorized for use in life
support, life sustaining, nuclear, or other applications in which the failure of such Products could
reasonably be expected to result in personal injury, loss of life or catastrophic property damage. If
Buyer uses or sells the Products for use in any such applications: (1) Buyer acknowledges that such
use or sale is at Buyer's sole risk; (2) Buyer agrees that Seller and the manufacturer of the
Products are not liable, in whole or in part, for any claim or damage arising from such use; and (3)
Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and the manufacturer of the Products harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of
or in connection with such use or sale.
11. Force Majeure: Seller is not liable for failure to fulfill its obligations for any accepted Order or
for delays in delivery due to causes beyond Seller's reasonable control including, but not limited
to, acts of God, natural or artificial disaster, riot, war, strike, delay by carrier, shortage of Product,
acts or omissions of other parties, acts or omissions of civil or military authority, Government
priorities, changes in law, material shortages, fire, strikes, floods, epidemics, quarantine
restrictions, acts of terrorism, delays in transportation or inability to obtain labor, materials or
Products through its regular sources, which shall be considered as an event of force majeure
excusing Seller from performance and barring remedies for non-performance. In an event of force
majeure condition, the Seller's time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the
time lost as a consequence of the force majeure condition without subjecting Seller to any liability
or penalty. Seller may, at its option, cancel the remaining performance, without any liability or
penalty, by giving notice of such cancellation to the Buyer.
