Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

The sale of products and services (“Products”) by TopFlite Components (TopFlite), are subject to these terms and conditions (“Agreement”) regardless of other or additional terms or conditions that conflict with or contradict this Agreement in any purchase order, document, or other communication (“Order”). Preprinted terms and conditions on any document of customer (“Customer”) (for example: Orders or confirmations) and/or TopFlite’s failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this Agreement.
1. ORDERS All Orders are subject to acceptance by TopFlite. Orders for special, customized, and value-added Products and Products specifically identified by TopFlite as non-standard are obtained and/or manufactured specifically for the Buyer. These Products are designated as “NC/NR”, and may not be cancelled, rescheduled, changed or returned without prior written consent from TopFlite.
2. PRODUCT RETURN Customer may return Products to TopFlite only with a return material authorization (“RMA”) number issued by TopFlite. Customer must notify TopFlite in writing of any damage to the outer packaging or other desire to return Products within 5 business days after receipt of the shipment; otherwise, Customer is deemed to have accepted the Products. RMAs will be issued only for defects created solely by TopFlite, and only if Customer satisfies the notice requirement. RMAs will not be granted for damage, shortage, or other discrepancy created by Customer, the carrier or freight provider, or any other third party. Product return pursuant to a warranty requires written notice from Customer to TopFlite within the warranty period detailing the Product defect. Customer must return the Products to TopFlite freight prepaid in original manufacturer’s shipping cartons or equivalent, along with acceptable proof of purchase, within the warranty period and as specified in the RMA. At TopFlite’s discretion, TopFlite will return all Products not eligible for return to Customer, freight collect, or hold Product for Customer’s account at Customer’s expense.
3. PRICES Prices are subject to change at any time. Prices are for Products only and do not include taxes, shipping charges, freight, duties, and other charges or fees, such as fees for special packaging and labeling of the Products, permits, certificates, customs declarations and registration (collectively, “Additional Fees”). Customer is responsible for any Additional Fees. Prices stated are in US Dollars.
4. TERMS OF PAYMENT Credit cards are not accepted. Payment via net 30 days, or other terms payment arrangements, (e.g. 1% 10/NET 30, NET 45, or “discounted terms”), may be made upon approval from TopFlite, and in compliance with these terms. Orders are subject to credit approval by TopFlite, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer’s credit, require payment in cash, bank wire transfer/EFT/ACH or by official bank check, and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Customer’s order before shipment of any or all of the Products. If TopFlite reasonably believes that the Customer’s ability to make payments may be impaired or if Customer fails to pay any invoice when due, TopFlite may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof, until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof. Customer will remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and all Non-Standard Products ordered by Customer. Customer agrees to submit such financial information as TopFlite may require for determination of credit terms and/or continuation of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by TopFlite against any obligation owing by Customer to TopFlite under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer’s liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to TopFlite. The acceptance by TopFlite of such check will not constitute a waiver of TopFlite’s right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of twenty (20%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make payment when due, TopFlite may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event TopFlite will be entitled to reimbursement of costs for collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees. There is a $40 (USD) service charge on all returned checks.
5. DELIVERY AND TITLE Unless otherwise specified on TopFlite’s sales order acknowledgement, all shipments by TopFlite are FOB point of shipment from TopFlite’s US facility and the amount of all transportation charges will be paid to TopFlite by the Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products. Subject to TopFlite’s right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier will constitute delivery to Customer and title and risk of loss will pass to Customer. TopFlite will make reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Customer’s requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by TopFlite are estimates only and that TopFlite will not be liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by TopFlite unless specifically designated by Customer on the Purchase Order. TopFlite reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s). Delivery of any installment of Products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Delivery of a quantity that varies from the quantity specified shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.
6. WARRANTY TopFlite warrants that at the time of delivery, the Products shall have the specifications stated in its published data sheet or technical drawing for the Products for 12 months from delivery of Products. To the extent permitted by law, TopFlite makes no other warranty, express or implied, such as warranty of merchantability, fitness for purpose or non-infringement. Customer’s sole remedies for breach of TopFlite warranty are, at TopFlite choice: (i) repair the Products; (ii) replace the Products at no cost to Customer; or (iii) refund Customer the purchase price of the Products.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY To the extent permitted by law, neither TopFlite nor its employees or agents are liable for and customer is not entitled to any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages; for example, loss of profits or revenue, loss of data, loss of use, rework, manufacturing expense, injury to reputation, or loss of customers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer’s recovery from TopFlite for any direct damages will not exceed the price of the Product at issue. To the extent the preceding limitation of liability is deemed invalid under applicable law, TopFlite’s total liability in any event will not exceed USD 7,500 or the equivalent thereof. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold TopFlite harmless from any claims based on; (i) TopFlite’s compliance with customer’s designs, specifications, or instructions, (ii) modification of any Product by anyone other than TopFlite, or (iii) use of Products in combination with other products or in violation of clause 9 below.
8. FORCE MAJEURE TopFlite is not liable for failure to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control, (for example: acts of nature, acts or omissions of the Customer, operational disruptions, man-made or natural disasters, epidemic medical crises, materials shortages, strikes, criminal acts, delays in delivery or transportation, or inability to obtain labor or materials through its regular sources).
9. USE OF PRODUCTS Customer shall comply with the manufacturer’s Product specifications. Products are not authorized for use in critical safety or other applications where a failure may reasonably be expected to result in personal injury, loss of life, or serious property damage. If Customer uses or sells the Products for use in any such applications or fails to comply with the manufacturer’s Product specifications, Customer acknowledges that such use, sale, or non-compliance is at Customer’s sole risk.

Customer agrees to comply with all such laws, regulations and orders. Customer further acknowledges that it shall not directly or indirectly export any Products to any country to which such export or transmission is restricted or prohibited. Customer acknowledges its responsibility to obtain any license to export, re-export or import as may be required.
11.
