Without limitation of the foregoing, any additional, contrary, or different terms contained in any Purchase Order or other request or communication by Buyer pertaining to the sale of Goods by Supplier, and any attempt to modify, supersede, supplement or otherwise alter this Agreement, will not modify this Agreement or be binding on the Parties unless such terms have been fully approved in a signed writing by authorized Representatives of both Parties.

3.1Purchase Orders. Buyer shall issue to Supplier Purchase Orders (containing applicable terms that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement), in written form via EDI/facsimile, email, or by mail service. By issuing a Purchase Order to the Supplier, Buyer makes an offer to purchase Goods pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms contained in such Purchase Order, and on no other terms. For the avoidance of doubt, any variations made to the terms and conditions of this Agreement by Buyer in any Purchase Order are void and have no effect unless expressly agreed to by the Supplier. Buyer shall be obligated to purchase from Supplier quantities of Goods specified in a Purchase Order.
3.2Acceptance of Purchase Orders. Supplier accepts a Purchase Order by confirming the order in writing or by delivering the applicable Goods to Buyer, whichever occurs first.
4. Shipment, Delivery, Acceptance, and Inspection.
4.1Shipment. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in writing, Supplier shall select the method of shipment of and the carrier for the Goods. Supplier may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. However, in no event shall Supplier ship any amount less than 30kg on a Purchase Order and expect payment. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale and Buyer shall pay for the Goods shipped, in accordance with the payment terms specified in Section 5.3, whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of a Purchase Order.
4.2Packaging and Labeling. Supplier shall properly pack, mark, and ship Goods and provide Buyer with shipment documentation showing the Purchase Order number, Supplier’s identification number for the subject Goods, the quantity of pieces in shipment, the number of cartons or containers in shipment, Supplier’s name, the bill of lading number and the country of origin.

4.4Late Delivery. Any time quoted for delivery is an estimate only; provided, however, that Supplier shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all Goods on or before the Requested Delivery Date. If Supplier has delayed shipment of all or any Goods for more than twenty (20) days after the Requested Delivery Date and if such delay is not due to any action or inaction of Buyer or otherwise excused in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer may, as its sole remedy therefor, cancel the portion of the related Purchase Order covering the delayed Goods by giving Supplier written Notice within three (3) days of the Requested Delivery Date. Subject to Buyer’s rights under this Section 4.4, no delay in the shipment or delivery of any Good relieves Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement, including accepting delivery of any remaining installment or other orders of Goods.
4.5Transfer of Title and Risk of Loss.
(a)Title to Goods shipped under any Purchase Order passes to Buyer upon receipt by Buyer at the Delivery Location.
(b)Risk of loss to Goods shipped under any Purchase Order passes to Buyer upon receipt by Buyer the Delivery Location.

| 5 |
4.6Inspection. Buyer shall inspect Goods received under this Agreement within ten (10) days of receipt of such Goods ("Inspection Period") and either accept or, only if any such Goods are Nonconforming Goods, reject such Goods. Buyer will be deemed to have accepted Goods unless it provides Supplier with written Notice of any Nonconforming Goods within five (5) days following the Inspection Period, stating with specificity all defects and nonconformities, and furnishing such other written evidence or other documentation as may be reasonably required by Supplier (including the subject Goods, or a representative sample thereof, which Buyer contends are Nonconforming Goods). All defects and nonconformities that are not so specified will be deemed waived by Buyer, such Goods shall be deemed to have been accepted by Buyer, and no attempted revocation of acceptance will be effective. If Buyer timely notifies Supplier of any Nonconforming Goods, Supplier shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether the Goods are Nonconforming Goods. If Supplier determines that such Goods are Nonconforming Goods, Supplier shall, in its sole discretion, either:
(a)replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods; or
(b)refund to Buyer such amount paid by Buyer to Supplier for such Nonconforming Goods returned by Buyer to Supplier.
Buyer shall ship, at Supplier’s expense and risk of loss, all Nonconforming Goods to the Facility, or to such other location as Supplier may instruct Buyer in writing. If Supplier exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Supplier shall ship to the Delivery Location, at Supplier’s expense and risk of loss, the replacement Goods.
THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4.6 ARE BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE DELIVERY OF NONCONFORMING GOODS, SUBJECT TO BUYER’S RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 9.5 WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH GOODS FOR WHICH BUYER HAS ACCEPTED DELIVERY UNDER THIS SECTION 4.6.

In addition, all Prices are exclusive of, and Supplier is solely responsible for and shall pay all Taxes, with respect to, or measured by, the manufacture, sale, shipment, use, or Price of the Goods (including interest and penalties thereon); provided, however, that Supplier shall not be responsible for any Taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Buyer’s income, revenues, gross receipts, Personnel or real or personal property or other assets;
5.3Payment Terms. Supplier shall issue periodic invoices to Buyer for all Goods ordered in the previous period, setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts payable by Buyer under this Agreement.
