If Buyer fails to fulfill the payment terms, Seller shall have the option to do one or more of the following: (a) decline to accept or fulfill any Orders (b) declare all outstanding sums immediately due and payable or (c) require all pending and future Orders to be on a prepaid basis. Late payments shall be assessed a 1.5% late fee and an additional 1.5% late fee for each additional month the payment is late.

Delivery dates, shipping dates, or other performance dates are estimates only. These dates are based on receipt of Buyer’s Order and authorization to begin bulk production. Seller reserves the right to adjust these dates upon finalization of Buyer’s Order or at anytime thereafter. Seller shall not incur any liability nor shall any order be cancelled because or as a result of any delays to these dates.

Charges for services already rendered, including but not limited to art proofs, shall still apply to Orders cancelled before production. Any returns must be accepted in writing by Seller and have a return material authorization (“RMA”) number. Claims shall be submitted within 14 days of delivery. Any unauthorized returns will be returned to sender.

Warrantees

Seller warrants to Buyer that such Products will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a warranty period of sixty (60) days from the date the Products shipped from Seller. Buyer must submit warranty claims in accordance with the original manufacturer’s warranty policies. Seller’s sole liability, and Buyer’s exclusive remedy, for a defect in a Product that is covered under the warranty will be, at Seller’s option, for Seller to either replace or repair the defective Product(s), or refund or credit the purchase price to Buyer.

Seller expressly disclaims all other warranties and conditions, express or implied.

Indemnity

Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold the Seller, harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, lawsuits and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees (collectively, "Claims"), that such entities may incur arising out of or in any way resulting from, whether directly or indirectly: (a) Buyer’s re-sale or use of the Products; (b) any act that would invalidate a Product’s warranty (c) any breach of the Terms of Service (d) any act or omission of Buyer or its affiliates.

Limitation Of Liability

Under no circumstances will Seller be liable to Buyer for, and Buyer expressly waives any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, even if Seller is advised of the possibility of such damages, whether arising from warranty, contract, negligence or other tort, including but not limited to business losses, losses of profit, and reliance damages. Buyer agrees that the Seller’s liability is limited to the purchase price paid by the Buyer for the Products involved.

Confidentiality and Non-Circumvention

During the course of Buyer’s dealings with Seller, Buyer may gain access to sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information relating to the business of Seller and affiliated companies, including but not limited to suppliers, distributors or vendors, and the pricing and availability of Seller’s products (collectively, "Confidential Information").

Buyer agrees that neither it nor any of its representatives will, at any time, directly or indirectly: (a) make use of any Confidential Information except for the execution and fulfillment of an Order with Seller, (b) disclose any Confidential Information to any other person or entity, or (c) attempt to contact, correspond or communicate with, solicit, or enter into any contract or agreement with any supplier, distributor or vendor of Seller.

Governing Law

It is agreed that the substantive and procedural laws of the State of Illinois shall apply in all respects to the interpretation and enforcement of each Order. Buyer irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois, with venue in Cook County or, in the alternative and to the extent that a basis for federal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Buyer waives its objection to such forums, whether on the basis of inconvenience, lack of personal jurisdiction or otherwise. Buyer agrees that any action or lawsuit resulting from any breach or alleged breach of an Order by Seller, or with respect to any Products, must be commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued.

Miscellaneous

Nothing in any Order shall be construed so as to constitute Seller and Buyer as partners, joint venturers, or agent and principal, and neither party shall have any authority to obligate or bind the other party.

All representations and warranties, and all indemnification and confidentiality obligations herein, shall survive the expiration or termination of any Order. No waiver by either party of any breach or default by the other party shall constitute a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision of these Standard Terms or an Order.

If any of the provisions of the Terms of Service or an Order contravene or are invalid under the law, then it is agreed that such contravention or invalidity will not invalidate the whole Terms of Service or Order.
