Introduction
Bivar Inc. ("Bivar") and you ("Customer") have entered into this agreement, which applies to orders for electronic components, lighting products, and/or services and support (sometimes referred to herein as the "Products") delivered to you in accordance with the invoice. This agreement is governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this document and the invoice that was given to you. You agree to be bound by and accept these terms and conditions as stated on the invoice by accepting delivery of the Products indicated on the invoice. Despite anything to the contrary in this document, if you and Bivar have a separate signed purchase agreement, the provisions of such agreement shall take precedence over the terms and conditions stated in this document.

Quotes; Orders
Bivar does not consider an order to be accepted until it issues an invoice for the products or delivers the products, whichever comes first. Prices quoted by Bivar are good for the duration specified therein, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days from the date of the quote.

Taxes; Shipping Costs
On Bivar's invoice, separate shipping and handling fees will be listed. Prior to Bivar accepting the order, the Customer must supply a valid and accurate tax exemption certificate that is relevant to the product's ship-to location. Otherwise, the Customer is liable for any sales taxes and other fees related to the order, no matter how they are labeled. The invoice from Bivar must include a separate charge for taxes if they apply.

Title: Loss Risk
Until the Products are properly transferred to the carrier for shipping, Bivar shall retain title to the Products. Risk of loss shall pass to the customer upon delivery of the products to the carrier for shipment.

Warranties
Except as may be specifically expressed in writing by Bivar, no other express warranty is offered with regard to the products other than that they are as described in the invoice. Bivar will, in its sole discretion, either repair or replace the items in the case of a defect, malfunction, or failure to conform with any guarantee that may be granted to the buyer. If repair or replacement is not commercially feasible, Bivar will refund the purchase price. Bivar does not offer any warranties of merchantability or suitability for a specific purpose, and the buyer purchases the products "as is." Bivar makes absolutely no service-related guarantees.

Common Return Procedures
End-user customers who purchase Bivar products directly from Bivar are permitted to return those products for a full refund as long as they are still in the factory's original, sealed packaging; otherwise, returns are subject to restocking fees.

Exchanges
Bivar sometimes reserves the right to exchange products or components of products at its sole discretion. Any exchanges will be carried out in compliance with the Bivar exchange regulations in force on the exchange date.

Products
Ongoing product revision and update is Bivar's policy. Bivar has the right to modify and withdraw any product at any time.

Terms of Payment; Interest
Within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, payments must be made for all invoices. Cash, a company check from the customer, a wire transfer, or another planned payment mechanism must be used for payment, unless Bivar has previously approved credit terms. The customer acknowledges that any monies not paid within the specified thirty (30) days following the invoice date will be subject to interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
