2. Electronic Communications. Anycommunications transmitted electronically (e.g., via facsimile or via the Internet (including but not limited to EDI, cXML, and e-mail)) (i) shall be considered a “writing” or “in writing,” (ii) shall be deemed “signed” if a signature is affixed that is valid in accordance with applicable law (including a valid electronic signature) and (iii) will constitute an “original” when printed. Communications introduced as evidence on paper will be admissible to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form and admissibility shall not be contested on the basis that the communication was not originated or maintained in documentary form.
3. Pricing. Prices for Goods and other related information shown in any Seller or manufacturer product publication, including but not limited to catalogs, brochures, emails and websites, are subject to change without notice.

IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR EXPENSE OCCASIONED BY THE USE OF DEFECTIVE GOODS.

In any event, Seller will have no liability to Buyer or any other person for delays in performance due to strikes or labor disputes of any type; accidents, fire, floods, acts of God, or actions by governmental authorities; acts, omissions, or delays of Buyer or any other third party; shortages of labor; or without limitation of the above, for any causes reasonably beyond the control of Seller.

Claims for errors, shortages, defects, nonconformance, or rejection of the Goods must be made in writing to Seller no more than seven (7) days after receipt of shipment. After this period, Buyer will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Goods, if not previously accepted. After acceptance, Buyer will have no right to reject the Goods for any reason or revoke acceptance. Claims for damage due to shipping must be made by Buyer to the freight carrier.
9. Return of Goods. All returns will be pursuant to Seller’s instructions and subject to restocking and transportation charges and other conditions of return.

All returns must reference the RMA number along with the original invoice number and the reason for return.
10. Cancellation or Termination. In the event of cancellation of the Agreement by Buyer, or in the event of default under the Agreement by Buyer that is not cured within 30 days after notice by Seller, Buyer will pay to Seller on demand all direct and indirect costs (including, without limitation, all applicable restocking or cancellation charges, including reimbursement for direct costs assessed by the manufacturer) incurred directly or indirectly by Seller in connection with the Agreement, all as reasonably determined by Seller, plus any profit to be negotiated with Buyer.

13. Modifications and Waiver—Entire Agreement. Neither party has rights, warranties, or conditions expressed or implied, statutory or otherwise, other than those contained in the Agreement. The Agreement contains the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer and can be modified or rescinded only by a writing signed by both parties. No waiver of any provision of the Agreement will be binding unless in writing signed by an authorized representative of the party against whom the waiver is asserted, and unless expressly made generally applicable, will apply only to the specific case for which the waiver is given. Failure of either party to insist on strict performance of the Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any term or condition of the Agreement.
Any document submitted by Buyer to Seller confirming its intention to purchase Goods described in the Agreement will be deemed to constitute a confirmation and acceptance of the Agreement, even if the document states terms in addition to or different from those in the Agreement. All agreements between Seller and Buyer will be solely under the terms and conditions of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and Seller objects to any and all additional or different terms contained in any document submitted to Seller by Buyer. Any execution by Seller of any other document submitted by Buyer in connection with the purchase of Goods does not constitute acceptance of or agreement to any terms and conditions in addition to or different from those contained in the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, but will constitute only acknowledgment of receipt of the document. In addition, notwithstanding any terms contained in any documents submitted by Buyer in connection with the purchase of Goods described under the Agreement, the acceptance of delivery by Buyer of Goods described in the Agreement will constitute a course of conduct constituting Buyer’s agreement to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions of Sale, to the exclusion of any additional or different terms and conditions. Each shipment made under any order shall be treated as a separate transaction, but in the event of any default by Buyer, Seller may decline to make further shipments without in any way affecting its rights under such order. If, despite any default by Buyer, Seller elects to continue to make shipments, its actions shall not constitute a waiver of any default by Buyer or in any way affect Seller’s legal remedy for such default.
14. Compliance with Laws. Buyer will be responsible for compliance with any and all federal, state, or local laws or regulations respecting safety or respecting use of the Goods and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims of violations of laws or regulations or other claims of personal injury or property damage directly or indirectly related to the installation, maintenance, or operation of the Goods.
15. Export Control. Goods supplied by Seller may be subject to various export laws and regulations. It is the responsibility of the exporter to comply with all laws and regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if federal, state, or local law requires export authorization for the export or re-export of any Goods or associated technology, no delivery can be made until export authorization is obtained, regardless of any otherwise promised delivery date. If any required export authorization is denied, Seller and Seller’s supplier will be relieved of any further obligation relative to the sale and delivery of the Goods subject to denial without liability of any kind relative to Buyer or any other party. Seller will not comply with boycott-related requests except to the extent permitted by federal law and then only at Seller’s discretion.
16. Governing Law. The Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas. Buyer hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Arkansas or federal court sitting in Sebastian, Arkansas over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement or the Goods and agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Buyer further agrees that venue for any such action shall lie exclusively with courts sitting in Sebastian County, Arkansas, unless Seller agrees to the contrary in writing.

19. Miscellaneous. This agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement and purchase. No affirmation, representation or warranty made in Seller’s advertising or by any agent, employee or representative of Seller which is not specifically included herein shall be enforceable. The rights and obligations stated herein shall not be assigned or delegated by Buyer without the written consent of Seller. The validity or enforceability of any provisions herein shall not affect the other provisions hereof and the terms herein shall be complied with in all respects as if such invalid or enforceability provision were omitted.
