These "Terms and Conditions" govern the sale of product services by Great Development
International Limited , subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively
"Seller") as well as Seller's third-party vendors and/or service providers.
-
1. ORDERS: All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller in
accordance
with these Terms and Conditions. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled without
Seller's written consent. All orders must include delivery dates, quantities and
complete description of the goods requested for purchase. Seller may in its sole
discretion allocate products to its customers. Seller may designate certain products as
"non-cancelable" and/or "non-returnable" (NCNR) and the sale of such products can be
subject to special terms and conditions stated on the invoice or such notice to Buyer.
- 2. PRICES: Unit pricing for all products and services ordered by Buyer are
specified on
each invoice. Price quotations, unless otherwise stated, shall automatically expire five
(5) calendar days from the date issued and may be canceled or amended within that period
upon notice to Buyer. 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 taxes, and similar taxes. Buyer
agrees to pay these taxes unless Buyer has provided Seller with an exemption resale
certificate in the appropriate form for the jurisdiction of Buyer's place of business
and any jurisdiction to which the purchased goods are to be directly shipped hereunder,
or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Seller 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.
- 3. PAYMENT TERMS: Buyer shall, without set off, pay Seller in full in U.S.
Dollars with
terms that are agreed to both parties from date of invoice. Shipments shall be made upon
credit approval and the condition that the Buyer account remains in good standing with
Seller. Seller may invoice each shipment separately and each shipment can be considered
a separate and individual contract. Buyer agrees to pay such invoice pursuant to its
terms without the benefit of setoff or deduction.
- 4. INTEREST/LATE FEES: Interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%)
per
month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, shall be imposed on all
outstanding balances. Late charges not to exceed $100.00 per month shall also apply.
- 5. MODIFICATION OF PAYMENT/CREDIT TERMS: Seller reserves the right to establish
and/or
change credit and payment terms extended to Buyer when, in Seller's sole opinion,
Buyer's financial condition or previous payment record warrants that action. Further, on
delinquent accounts, Seller shall not be obligated to continue performance under any
agreement with Buyer.
- 6. REJECTION OF ADDITIONAL OR INCONSISTENT TERMS: Any additional or inconsistent
terms
contained in a purchase order or other document are specifically rejected. These Terms
and Conditions take precedence over Buyer's additional or different terms and conditions
to which notice of objection is hereby given. Neither Seller's commencement of
performance nor delivery shall be deemed or constituted as acceptance of Buyer's
additional or different terms and conditions. Buyer's acceptance of the products and/or
services shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the Terms and Conditions contained
herein.
- 7. SECURITY INTEREST: Seller retains a security interest in all products
delivered to
Buyer, and in such related accessories, replacements, accessions, proceeds and goods,
including accounts receivable (collectively, the "Collateral") to secure payment of all
amounts due under these Terms and Conditions. If Buyer fails to pay any amount when due,
Seller shall have the right to repossess and remove all or any part of the Collateral
from Buyer. Any repossession or removal shall be without prejudice to any other remedy
of Seller hereunder, at law or in equity. Buyer agrees, from time to time, to take any
act and execute and deliver any document (including, without limitation, financing
statements) reasonably requested by Seller to transfer, create, perfect, preserve,
protect and enforce this security interest.
- 8. DELIVERY: Delivery will be deemed complete and risk of loss or damage to any
product
will pass to Buyer upon incoterm to the carrier. Buyer acknowledges that delivery dates
provided by Seller are estimates only and Seller shall not be liable for delays in
delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of Seller
nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of Seller. In the event of delay caused by such
event, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a
consequence of the delay in delivery without subjecting Seller to any liability or
penalty.
- 9. ACCEPTANCE/RETURNS: Shipments will be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer
upon
receipt of the said shipments at Buyer's facility. Buyer shall perform whatsoever
inspection or tests Buyer deems necessary as promptly as possible but in no event later
than five (5) days after delivery, at which time Buyer must either accept or reject the
products by providing written notice to Seller. Any discrepancy in shipment quantity
must be reported in writing within five (5) working days of receipt of the products. In
the event of an over shipment, Buyer shall have the option to return the products to
Seller at Seller's expense or alternatively, Buyer may elect to retain the products
(subject to adjustment of the invoice price to account for additional items). Regardless
of the reason for the return, any product returns shall be subject to Seller's prior
written return merchandise authorization as well as a twenty-five (25%) percent
restocking charges. Returned products must be in the original condition and packaging.
Unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing, return transportation costs must be
prepaid by Buyer.

LOST PROFIT, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUYERS, LOSS OF MARKET SHARE,
LOSS OF GOODWILL OR MANUFACTURING EXPENSES AND ANY OTHER LOSS(ES) THAT MIGHT ARISE AS A

NON-PERFORMANCE OR INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY,
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- 12. ASSIGNMENTS: Purchaser's rights under these Terms and Conditions may not be
assigned
without Seller's prior written consent. However, the foregoing does not limit Buyer's
right, upon making payment in full, from transferring title to the merchandise subject
to written notice to and transfer of title on the records of Seller.
- 13. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS: These Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the
heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Buyer. Buyer further agrees
that Seller may assign its rights under this agreement and that this agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Seller.
- 14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: These Terms and Conditions consist of all terms which have
been
agreed upon between the parties with the exception of any (i) credit application
provided by Buyer, (ii) personal guarantee(s) submitted by Buyer, and/or (iii) such
additional terms as provided on Seller's invoices. These Terms and Conditions replace
all other discussions and agreements, whether oral or written, as relating to those
goods and services. No subsequent discussion or agreements, whether oral or written, as
relating to those goods and services. No subsequent discussion or agreement can change
the terms of this contract unless it is written and signed by both parties.
- 15. CHOICE OF LAW/JURISDICTION: If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is
held

or rights under these Terms and Conditions and/or for collection of amounts due, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the unsuccessful party all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred therein by the prevailing party
(including, without limitation, such costs, expenses and fees on any appeals), and if
such prevailing party shall recover judgment in any such action or proceeding, such
costs, expenses, including those of expert witnesses and attorney's fees, shall be
included as part of the judgment.
- 17. FORCE MAJEURE: If by reason of act of God or force majeure such as fire, war,
earthquake, strike, lock-out, labor controversy, civil unrest, acts of any government or
its agencies or officers, or any order, regulation or ruling thereof, Seller is
prevented from making delivery, Seller shall have the right to extend the delivery time
for a reasonable period.
