Upon receipt and acceptance of the Purchase Order, Seller shall proceed to arrange for Delivery of the Parts to Customer. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, representations, warranties, and communications. The Quotation (and by reference, this Agreement) prevails over any of Customer’s general terms and conditions of purchase, whether or not submitted with Customer’s Purchase Order and shall apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

Any special conditions relating to the purchase of any Parts and agreed between the Seller and the Customer shall be in writing and such special conditions shall specifically amend, supplement or restate the Quotation.
Pricing and Payment

Should the Seller be required to pay any such Taxes or duties on behalf of the Customer, the Customer shall reimburse the Seller forthwith upon demand. All past due amounts owed by Customer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1½ %) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law commencing on the due date until the date the invoice amount is paid in full. Customer agrees to pay any and all costs of collection, including attorney’s fees, in the event it becomes necessary to enforce the payment of Seller’s invoices. Customer shall not have a right to set- off amounts due to Seller hereunder against any amount owed by Seller to Customer.

shall be held in trust by the Customer for the benefit of the Seller and placed in a separate account until remitted to the Seller.
