TERMS: Buyer agrees to pay for the products, including all component parts, specified on this invoice (the “Product”) in accordance with the payment terms specified on this invoice. In the event Buyer fails to make any payment to Meritech when due, Buyer’s entire account(s) with Meritech shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. All past due amounts shall bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate of 18% per annum. The foregoing remedies are in addition to, and not a substitute for, any other remedies provided for herein or that may otherwise be available to Meritech.
SHIPMENTS: All products are shipped F.O.B., point of shipment unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Meritech. Risk of loss shall transfer to the Buyer upon tender of goods to Buyer, Buyer’s representative, or common carrier. The cost of any special packing or special handling caused by Buyer’s requirements or requests shall be added to the amount of the order. If Buyer causes or requests a shipment delay, or if Meritech ships or delivers the products erroneously as a result of inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by Buyer or its agents or employees, storage and all other additional costs and risks shall be borne solely by Buyer. Claims for products damaged or lost in transit should be made by Buyer to the carrier, as Meritech’s responsibility ceases upon tender of goods to Buyer, Buyer’s representative or common carrier.
INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE: Claims for damage, shortage or errors in shipping must be reported within three days following delivery to Buyer. Buyer shall have 7 days from the date Buyer receives the Product to inspect the Product for defects and nonconformance that are not due to damage, shortage or errors in shipping and notify Meritech, in writing, of any defects, nonconformance or rejection of the Product. After such 7 day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Product and these Terms and Conditions. After such acceptance, Buyer shall have no right to reject the Product for any reason or to revoke acceptance, or to dispute any of these Terms and Conditions. Buyer hereby agrees that such 7 day period is a reasonable amount of time for such inspection and revocation of the Product. Buyer shall have no right to order any change or modification to the Product or service previously ordered by Buyer or its representatives. Specially fabricated or ordered items may not be returned, and no refund will be made. The sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged defect in workmanship or material will be the replacement of the Product subject to Meritech’s inspection and limited warranty.
TAXES: Buyer shall be liable for the payment of all transaction based taxes including without limitation sales, use, gross receipts, compensating, occupation, privilege, excise or other similar taxes assessed in connection with the purchase and sale of the Product by payment of such taxes to Meritech, or by executing and delivering to Meritech a tax exemption certificate or in those jurisdictions where Meritech is not required to administer the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction, a tax indemnification agreement. Any such tax exemption certificate or tax indemnification agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Meritech, in Meritech’s sole discretion. Meritech shall have no obligation to pay any taxes, which are Buyer’s sole responsibility.
SECURITY INTEREST: Buyer hereby grants Meritech, to secure the payment and performance in full of the purchase price for the Product, plus any fees owed hereunder, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Meritech, the Product (the “Collateral”), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds thereof. Buyer represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is, and shall continue to be, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral so long as any portion of the purchase price and fees remains unpaid. Meritech’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the purchase price and fees have been paid in full. Upon such payment in full, Meritech shall release its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Buyer.
