- SHIPPING NOTICES; SELLER'S INVOICES - The shipping notice
must be mailed on the date of shipment to Precision Brush
Company, Inc.’s (“Precision Brush”) headquarters.
Goods arriving without proper notices having been received
will be held until the desired information is furnished,
and all demurrage thus accruing shall be for Seller's account.
Invoices shall state the Purchase Order number, item number,
item description, shipping point, destination, whether
the freight is prepaid or collect, and the terms of payment.
Invoices not rendered in accordance with instructions will
be returned and the discount date will be based upon the
date the corrected invoice is received by Precision Brush.
- DISCOUNT POLICY - Discount period shall commence on the
later of the: (i) invoice date, or (ii) date invoice received
by Precision Brush.
- PACKING - All goods shall be shipped fully assembled
(or where not practicable to do so, as completely assembled
as permitted by the carrier), suitably packed and accompanied
by a packing list. Cartons containing packing lists must
be so marked. Uncrated or bundled goods must be tagged with
waterproof tags. No charge for packing shall be made unless
agreed to in writing by Precision Brush.
- CARRIERS AND ROUTING - Precision Brush reserves the right
to designate the carrier and routing. All goods shall be
forwarded in accordance with Precision Brush's instructions,
or in the absence of such instructions by the route generating
the lowest transportation charge. When usual terms of tariffs
or transportation agreements involving carriage via water
do not include insurance, shipments must be forwarded properly
insured. When terms of delivery are "prepaid by supplier",
Seller is to charge Precision Brush freight on its invoice.
When terms are "collect", Precision Brush will
pay freight to carrier on a separate freight bill. When terms
are "delivered price", material costs include freight
costs. All shipping rates charged to Precision Brush shall
be the lowest available rates, taking into account all available
discounts.
- ADDITIONAL CHARGES - No additional charges of any kind
will be allowed unless arranged for and agreed to in writing
by Precision Brush at time of purchase.
- MODIFICATION OF TERMS - This Purchase Order is expressly
subject to, and Seller's acceptance is expressly conditioned
upon, Seller's assent to each and all of the terms and conditions
contained on the face and reverse side hereof. No addition
to or modification of the terms and conditions hereof shall
be binding upon Precision Brush and no goods shall be substituted
for those specified herein except upon the written consent
or instructions of Precision Brush. Where Seller's quotation,
acknowledgement, invoice or other correspondence contains
terms or conditions contrary to or in addition to Precision
Brush's terms and conditions, such contrary or additional
terms are hereby refused and rejected (and without any requirement
of further notice of such refusal and rejection) and neither
acceptance by Precision Brush of the goods nor payment therefor
shall constitute a waiver by Precision Brush of any of the
terms and conditions contained herein or assent to any other
conditions. Reference to Seller's bids or proposals, if noted
on this Purchase Order, shall not affect the terms and conditions
hereof unless specifically provided to the contrary herein.
- NON-CONFORMING GOODS - All goods received shall be subject
to Precision Brush's right of inspection and rejection. Precision
Brush may (but is not required to) inspect the goods at Seller's
premises, prior to shipment, upon reasonable notice to Seller.
Precision Brush shall have a reasonable time within which
to inspect the goods and shall not be obligated to inspect
goods purchased as spare parts, inventory or for future use
until the same are to be used by Precision Brush. Excess
or defective goods or goods not in accordance with Precision
Brush's specifications will be held for a reasonable period
of time for disposition in accordance with Seller's instructions
at Seller's risk and expense and, if Seller directs, will
be returned at Seller's expense. Returned goods may be replaced
by Seller only upon Precision Brush's formal Purchase Order.
If inspection discloses that a portion of the goods received
are not in accordance with the specifications or descriptions
thereof, Precision Brush shall have the right to cancel any
unshipped portion of this Purchase Order. Payment for goods
furnished pursuant to this Purchase Order shall not constitute
acceptance thereof by Precision Brush and such payments shall
be deemed to have been made without prejudice to any and
all claims Precision Brush may have against Seller. The remedies
hereinabove provided to Precision Brush are not exclusive
and are in addition to all other remedies available to Precision
Brush pursuant to law, this Purchase Order or otherwise.
- WARRANTY - In addition to any other warranties of Seller
described herein, Seller expressly warrants that all goods
and services covered by this Purchase Order will conform
to the specifications, drawings, plans, instructions, samples
or other description furnished or adopted by Precision Brush,
if any, will be merchantable, fit and sufficient for the
purpose intended, including any special requirements of Precision
Brush which have been disclosed to Seller, and shall be free
from defects, whether latent or patent, in material and workmanship.
Such warranties and the remedies provided herein shall not
be deemed waived either by reason of acceptance of, payment
for, use or consumption of the goods and shall be in addition
to those implied by or available at law.
- DELAYS; FORCE MAJEURE - Shipment and delivery date(s)
specified are of the essence of this Purchase Order and must
be one-hundred percent on time. However, Seller shall not
be liable for delays in manufacture or delivery of goods
and Precision Brush shall not be liable to accept any part
of such goods to the extent that such delays are due to causes
beyond the reasonable control of the party (Precision Brush
or Seller) affected thereby, such as acts of God, acts of
civil or military authorities, governmental priorities, fires,
strikes, lockouts, floods, epidemics, war, riot, or a contingency
the non-occurrence of which was a basic assumption on which
this Purchase Order was made, provided that the party affected
thereby promptly notifies the other party of such event and
uses its best efforts to remedy the situation, and, provided
further, that in the case of any such event affecting Seller,
Seller shall allocate all available production, inventories
and deliveries to Precision Brush.

and against any and all liability, loss, damages, costs and

for any loss or damage to property or injuries to persons,
including death, sustained by Precision Brush, its employees
or its customers, or by Seller or its employees, or by any
other party, arising out of, resulting from or incurred in
connection with the performance of any work or the furnishing
of, or claimed defects in, any goods furnished by Seller
under this Purchase Order. Seller further expressly agrees
that it is the intent hereof that Seller shall assume all
risk of such loss, damage or injuries, and shall absolve
and indemnify Precision Brush therefrom whether or not such
loss, damage or injuries are due to the sole or joint negligence
of Precision Brush or its employees. Seller expressly agrees
that it may be joined as an additional or third-party defendant,
and may be held liable for damages, contribution or indemnity,
in any action at law or otherwise, in which the employee
or employees of Seller or any other person, their heirs,
assigns or anyone otherwise entitled to receive damages by
reason of injury or death, brings an action against Precision
Brush in respect thereof, and expressly waives any provision
of any workers' compensation laws whereby Seller could otherwise
preclude its joinder or avoid liability for such damages,
contribution or indemnity.
- PROPRIETARY RIGHTS-Seller shall indemnify, save harmless
and defend Precision Brush from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, actions, legal proceedings, judgments, decrees,

or alleged infringement of any United States or foreign patent
by the goods furnished hereunder, or by the normally intended

Precision Brush against all such claims and against any and
all claims or debts on account of which liens might be obtained.

costs and attorneys' fees incurred or sustained by Precision
Brush by reason of any such claims, debts or liens. Precision

assignment without Precision Brush's written consent shall
constitute a breach by Seller and shall entitle Precision
Brush to terminate this Purchase Order without further liability
hereunder and to withhold payment until Precision Brush has
determined to whom such funds are payable and that Precision
Brush is fully protected from any conflicting claims of Seller,
Seller's assignee or any third party and from any loss or

Order or any part hereof for any reason at Precision Brush's
convenience upon written notice to Seller. Upon such termination
Seller agrees to waive all claims for damages, including
those for loss of anticipated profits, and to accept as its
sole remedy for termination the value of all work performed
prior to the termination and reasonable costs occasioned
by termination; provided, however, that Precision Brush shall
have no liability whatsoever for goods which are Seller's
standard stock. No such termination shall relieve Seller
of any of its obligations for any goods delivered hereunder
prior to such termination. Any claim for adjustment must
be asserted within thirty (30) days from the date when the
termination was ordered.

any other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitutes
