to a purchase order or other written or oral offer of Purchaser to purchase the Goods or Services, to the extent that
there are any material differences or additions in the terms contained in Purchaser's offer, this Sales order shall be
considered a counter offer to sell the Goods or provide the Services to Purchaser under the terms and conditions herein

Conditions in its entirety, to the exclusion of any contrary or additional terms and conditions set forth in any statement,
purchase order or other document or record of Purchaser and which shall be considered solely for the convenience of
the Purchaser and which in no event shall alter, modify, supersede or supplement these Conditions. These Conditions

previous written or oral communications or representations by either party and may not be amended or modified
without prior written consent of CTH. |

shipment will be filled and shipped at the discretion of CTH and paid by Purchaser in accordance herewith unless other

its discretion all Goods not yet shipped, to be paid by Purchaser in accordance herewith. |

or design which it determines to be necessary for proper operation of the Goods.

a) All shipping dates are approximate and CTH does not guarantee the date of shipment. Time shall not be considered
of the essence. CTH shall not be liable for any delay in delivery or any other default due to occurrences or
contingencies, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, embargo, strike, shut down, lockouts, failure to secure materials
or labor from usual sources of supply, governmental restrictions, conditions considered "force majeure", delays
occasioned by any subcontractors, misrouting, or any other circumstances beyond CTH's control which shall prevent
CTH from performing in the normal and usual course of its business. Any delays resulting from the foregoing shall
automatically extend the time for performance by CTH.
b) Unless agreed to by CTH in unity, all shipments shall be F.O.B. CTH's facility if domestic shipment or Ex Works CTH's
facility (Incoterms 2010) if international shipment. In the event that any other method of shipment shall be specified,
the price shall be adjusted to reflect any change in the price to the extent that the cost of shipment is or will be included
therein.
c) The cost of normal packaging for the Goods for domestic shipment is included in the total price, the method of
packaging being determined solely by CTH. If Purchaser shall specify any special packaging or handling or if the Goods
are to be exported, the additional cost thereof shall be added to the total price, unless it is specifically stated herein that
such costs were included in calculating the total price quoted.
d) Title to the goods or any part thereof shall not pass from CTH to Purchaser until all payments due hereunder have
been duly made in cash, except as otherwise expressly stipulated herein. The goods shall be and remain personal or
moveable property, notwithstanding their mode of attachment to realty or other property. If default is made in any of
the payments herein, Purchaser agrees that CTH may retain all payments which have been made on account of the
purchase price as liquidated damages, and CTH shall be free to enter the premises where the goods may be located
and remove them as CTH’ property, without prejudice to CTH’ right to recover any further expenses or damages CTH
may suffer by reason of such nonpayment. The risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser as soon as the Goods have been
delivered to the carrier for shipment to Purchaser. Passage of risk of loss shall not be affected by delivery terms,
shipping instructions, or storage on Purchaser's behalf by CTH at its facilities.
e) Partial deliveries may be made without notice and payment therefore shall be due in accordance with the terms
hereof as such deliveries are made and invoices rendered.
f) If shipment is delayed at Purchaser's request, Goods shall be deemed stored at Purchaser's risk and
expense. Purchaser shall be liable to CTH for all costs and charges related to such storage and shall pay CTH within ten
(10) days of invoice thereof. |

Purchaser acknowledges that prior to use it will fully inspect all Goods and Services. In the event that such inspection
and testing reveals any damage, deficiency, or non-conformity, Purchaser shall notify CTH within fifteen (15) days of the
date of delivery. Purchaser's failure to make a timely claim or its use of the Goods shall constitute irrevocable
acceptance and the waiver of any and all claims except warranty claims. Purchaser shall timely notify CTH in writing of
its rejection or revocation of acceptance of any of the Goods, specifying all claimed defects and non-conformities. No
Goods shall be returned by Purchaser unless authorized in writing by CTH.CTH may, at its option, repair or replace the

provided and shall not disclose it to any third party without the express consent of the disclosing party. CTH shall not be
required to retain any such materials and items furnished by Purchaser beyond thirty (30) days after final invoice. Any
