A price designated as firm for a specified period may be revoked by ASE if the revocation is in writing, and is delivered to the BUYER prior to the time a written acceptance of the price is received by ASE from BUYER. All prices and deliveries are F.O.B. ASE’s location in Flint, Michigan.

    3. Title And Risk Of Loss

    Delivery to carrier shall constitute delivery to BUYER and thereafter risk of loss or damage shall pass to BUYER. Any claim of BUYER relative to damage during shipping or delivery shall be made directly to the carrier. Any claims of BUYER against ASE for shortage or damage occurring prior to such delivery to carrier, including but not limited to errors in weight and quantity, must be made within ten (10) days after receipt of the goods and accompanied by original transportation bill signed by carrier noting that carrier received the goods from ASE in the condition claimed. ASE may either ship the quantity necessary to make good the deficiency or, at ASE’s option, credit BUYER with the invoice price of the deficiency. Notwithstanding passage of the risk of loss to BUYER, title and right of possession to the goods sold hereunder shall remain with ASE until all payments hereunder, including deferred payments evidenced by notes or otherwise, interest carrying charges and attorney fees, shall have been made.

    4. Payment Terms

    Unless otherwise provided in writing executed by ASE and BUYER, payment terms are as QUOTED by ASE to BUYER.

ASE reserves the right to require advance payment or satisfactory security in cases that ASE deems necessary. BUYER shall remain liable for all accounts unpaid to ASE. Any deposit paid to ASE by BUYER shall be considered non- refundable if there is material change to the order after ASE has accepted and begun processing order.

    5. Taxes

    B) A purchase order or any part thereof which is hereby accepted by ASE may not be cancelled unless and until ASE receives written notice of the cancellation, has determined the additional charge to be made and the same has been accepted and paid by the BUYER. Upon receipt of a notion of cancellation, ASE shall be entitled to take whatever action it deems necessary and advisable to minimize cancellation charges. Such cancellation shall not prejudice ASE’s rights to any amounts then due to ASE.

    7. Force Majeure

    ASE shall not be liable for failure to perform its obligations hereunder (or pursuant order of BUYER accepted by ASE and governed hereby) resulting directly or indirectly from or contributed to by acts of God or the public enemy; acts of BUYER; acts of governmental, civil or military authority, including wage and price controls; fires; war; riot; delays in transportation; lack of or inability to obtain raw materials (including energy sources) or components; labor strikes, slowdowns, lockouts or stoppages; fuel or suppliers, or unusually severe weather or any other circumstances beyond ASE’s reasonable control, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. If certain quantities are affected and other quantities are not, the quantities affected shall be eliminated from the contract without liability, but the contract shall remain unaffected. ASE may during any period of shortage due to any of said causes, allocate its supply of such raw materials among its various users thereof, in any manner which ASE deems fair and reasonable. In no event shall ASE be liable for special or consequential damages for any delay for any cause.

    8. Attorney/Collection Fees

    In the event that suit or other collection actions are brought for the recovery of any unpaid balance, or the breach by BUYER of any term contained herein, BUYER shall pay ASE, in addition to any damages provided by law, reasonable attorney’s fees and any costs of collection.

    9. Suitability Of Use

BUYER represents that the use and installation of the goods shall be made in compliance with all applicable government requirements. At BUYER’s request, ASE will provide applicable third-party certification documents identifying ratings and limitations of use which apply to goods purchased. This information by itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of suitability of the goods in combination with the end product, machine, system or other application or use.
