Terms & Conditions of Sale

• 1. Acceptance 

  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). Purchaser shall grant, and by acceptance of the goods shall be deemed to have granted, to Loh Medical a first security interest and charge in all goods to secure payment of the purchase price and other amounts owing by the Purchaser and performance of all the Purchaser's obligations under this contract of sale. Loh Medical may reclaim any goods delivered to the Purchaser or in transit if the Purchaser shall fail to make payments when due.

  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.

  Claims for shortages or other errors must be made in writing to Loh Medical within ten (10) days after receipt of shipment, and failure to give such notice shall constitute unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by the Purchaser.

• 3. Descriptive Literature and Substitutes

Such arbitration shall be conducted in English and in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, which shall administer the arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by an arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Loh Medical and the Purchaser or, if they cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be chosen by the president of the International Chamber of Commerce.

• 11. Export Control. 

  This Agreement is subject to United States export laws and regulations controlling the export, re-export, and resale of the Products (collectively, "U.S. Export Controls"). These U.S. Export Controls include the United States Export Administration Act and the United States Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations. Loh Medical acknowledges and agrees to be responsible for compliance with these U.S. Export Controls and to not engage in any course of conduct that would be in violation of the U.S. Export Controls.

  Loh Medical shall not be liable for any loss or damage as a result of Loh Medical's delay in or failure of delivery due to (i) any cause beyond Loh Medical's reasonable control; (ii) any act of God, act of the Purchaser, embargo or other governmental act, authority, regulation or request, fire, theft, accident, strike, slowdown, or other labor disturbance, war, riot, delay in transportation; (iii) inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, components, supplies, or facilities; or (v) inability to obtain necessary export licenses, import licenses, exchange permits, etc. Should any of the aforementioned events of force majeure occur, Loh Medical, at its option, may cancel the Purchaser's order with respect to any undelivered goods or extend the delivery date for a period equal to the time lost because of delay. 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. If shipping or progress of the work is delayed or interrupted by the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the Purchaser shall pay Loh Medical for all additional charges resulting therefrom.

• 13. Separability. 

  If any provisions of these Terms and Conditions of Sale supplemented as provided herein shall be deemed illegal or unenforceable, such illegality or unenforceability shall not effect the validity and enforceability of any legal and enforceable provisions hereof which shall be construed as if such illegal and unenforceable provision or provisions had not been inserted herein, unless such illegality or unenforceability shall destroy the underlying business purpose of these Terms and Conditions.
