  No order placed with Loh Medical shall be considered as accepted until officially acknowledged by Loh Medical. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Loh Medical and Purchaser, the following sets forth all of the terms of the purchase and sale of goods, as hereinafter defined, between Loh Medical and Purchaser and supersedes all prior agreements, offers, representations and negotiations between them to the extent that they conflict with or are in addition to the terms contained herein, this being intended as a final expression and complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement.

  No order may be canceled or altered by the Purchaser except on terms and conditions acceptable to Loh Medical, as evidenced by Loh Medical's written consent. Any goods returned shall be subject to restocking and reconditioning charges. Authorized returns shall be shipped Duty Paid to Loh Medical's facilities in Pennsylvania.

• 2. Delivery and Delay 

  All quoted delivery dates and/or periods are approximate. The delivery periods shall commence when Loh Medical shall have acknowledged receipt of complete specifications and/or applicable documents required to effect shipment, such as letter of credit, import license, exchange permit, shipping instructions, etc. Risk of loss or damage in transit shall pass to the Purchaser at the point where Loh Medical has fulfilled its obligations under the shipping term specified in this contract, as described in INCOTERMS 2010 (published by the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France).

  Loh Medical reserves the right to make delivery in installments, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in this contract; and all such installments, when separately invoiced, shall be paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve the Purchaser of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries.

These U.S. Export Controls include the United States Export Administration Act and the United States Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations.

Notice of such election shall be given promptly to the Purchaser. In the event Loh Medical elects to so cancel the order, Loh Medical shall be released of and from all liability for failure to deliver the goods, including, but not limited to, any and all claims on behalf of the Purchaser for lost profits, or for any other claim of any nature which the Purchaser may have.
