Important Information About These Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions constitute a binding contract
between Customer and Seller and are referred to herein as either "Terms
and Conditions" or this "Agreement". Customer accepts these Terms and
Conditions by making a purchase from or placing an order with Seller or
shopping on Seller's Website (the "Site") or otherwise requesting
products (the "Products") or engaging Seller to perform or procure any
Services (as this and all capitalized terms are defined herein). These
Terms and Conditions are subject to change without prior notice, except
that the Terms and Conditions posted on the Site at the time Customer
places an order or signs a Statement of Work will govern the order in
question, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller and Customer.
Customer consents to receiving electronic records, which may be
provided via a Web browser or e-mail application connected to the
Internet; individual consumers may withdraw consent to receiving
electronic records or have the record provided in non-electronic form by
contacting Seller. In addition, Internet connectivity requires access
services from an Internet access provider. Contact your local access
provider for details. Electronic signatures (or copies of signatures
sent via electronic means) are the equivalent of written and signed
documents.
Customer may issue a purchase order
for administrative purposes only. Additional or different terms and
conditions contained in any such purchase order will be null and void.
No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade
will be relevant to determine the meaning of these Terms and Conditions
or any purchase order or invoice, or any document in electronic or
written form that is signed and delivered by each of the parties for the
performance of Services other than Third Party Services (each, a
"Statement of Work"). This Agreement contains the entire understanding
of the parties with respect to the matters contained herein and
supersedes and replaces in its entirety any and all prior communications
and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral,
written, electronic or implied, if any, between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof.
Governing Law
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ANY
STATEMENTS OF WORK, THE SERVICES HEREUNDER AND ANY SALE OF PRODUCTS
HEREUNDER WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES. ANY ARBITRATION, ENFORCEMENT OF AN
ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION WILL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND CUSTOMER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND
STATE COURTS LOCATED THEREIN, SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF AND
WAIVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE VENUE. CUSTOMER FURTHER CONSENTS TO THE
EXERCISE OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION BY ANY SUCH COURT WITH RESPECT TO ANY
SUCH PROCEEDING. Except in the case of nonpayment, neither party may
institute any action in any form arising out of these Terms and
Conditions more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen.
The rights and remedies provided Seller under these Terms and Conditions
are cumulative, are in addition to, and do not limit or prejudice any
other right or remedy available at law or in equity.
Risk of Loss
If Customer provides Seller with Customer's carrier account
number or selects a carrier other than a carrier that regularly ships
for Seller, title to Products and risk of loss or damage during shipment
pass from Seller to Customer upon delivery to the carrier (F.O.B.
Origin, freight collect). For all other shipments, title to Products and
risk of loss or damage during shipment pass from Seller to Customer
upon delivery to the specified destination (F.O.B. Destination, freight
prepaid and added). Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to software
will remain with the applicable licensor(s), and Customer's rights
therein are contained in the license agreement between such licensor(s)
and Customer. A purchase money security interest is retained in the
Products to secure payment in full. Customer authorizes Seller to file a
financing statement reflecting such security interest, and, if
requested, Customer will record such purchase money security interest on
its books.
Services
Customers may order services
(collectively, "Services") from or through Seller from time to time.
Certain Services, including, but not limited to, extended warranty
service by manufacturers, are sold by Seller as a distributor or sales
agent ("Third Party Services").
In the case of Third Party Services, the third party shall be
the party responsible for providing the services to the Customer and
Customer will look solely to the third party for any loss, claims or
damages arising from or related to the provision of such Third Party
Services. Customer hereby releases Seller and the entities that control,
are controlled by, or are under common control with Seller
("Affiliates") from any and all claims arising from or relating to the
purchase or provision of any such Third Parties Services. Any amounts,
including, but not limited to, taxes, associated with Third Party
Services which may be collected by Seller will be collected solely in
the capacity as an independent sales agent.
Where Services are ordered in a Statement of Work, each
Statement of Work hereby incorporates these Terms and Conditions and
constitutes a separate agreement with respect to the Services performed.
Seller, or any of its Affiliates on behalf of Seller, may execute a
Statement of Work. In the event of an addition to or a conflict between
any term or condition of the Statement of Work and these Terms and
Conditions, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control,
except as expressly amended in the applicable Statement of Work by
specific reference to this Agreement. Each such amendment will be
applicable only with respect to such Statement of Work and not to future
Statements of Work. Changes to the scope of the Services described in a
Statement of Work will be made only in a writing executed by authorized
representatives of both parties. Seller will have no obligation to
commence work in connection with any such change, unless and until the
change is agreed upon in that writing executed by both
parties. All such changes to the scope of the Services will be governed
by these Terms and Conditions and the applicable Statement of Work. Each
Statement of Work may be signed in separate counterparts each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together will be deemed to
be one original.
Cooperation
In addition to any specific
Customer duties set forth in any applicable Statement of Work, Customer
agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with performance of the
Services by providing (i) timely responses to Seller's inquiries and
requests for approvals and authorizations, (ii) access to any
information or materials reasonably requested by Seller which are
necessary or useful as determined by Seller in connection with providing
the Services, including, but not limited to, physical and computer
access to Customer's computer systems, and (iii) all Required Consents
necessary for Seller to provide the Services. "Required Consents" means
consents or approvals required to give Seller, its Affiliates, and its
and their subcontractors the right or license to access, use and modify
all data and third party products. Customer acknowledges and agrees that
the Services are dependent upon the completeness and accuracy of
information provided by Customer and the knowledge and
cooperation of the agents, employees or subcontractors ("Personnel")
engaged or appointed by Customer who are selected by Customer to work
with Seller.
Seller will follow all reasonable Customer security rules and
procedures, as communicated in writing by Customer to Seller from time
to time.
Access
Seller may perform the Services at
Customer's place of business, at Seller's own facilities or such other
locations as Seller and Customer deem appropriate. When the Services are
performed at Customer's premises, Seller will attempt to perform such
Services within Customer's normal business hours unless otherwise
jointly agreed to by the parties. Customer will also provide Seller
access to Customer's staff and any other Customer resources (and when
the Services are provided at another location designated by Customer,
the staff and resources at such location) that Seller determines are
useful or necessary for Seller to provide the Services. When the
Services are provided on Customer's premises or at another location
designated by Customer, Customer agrees to maintain adequate insurance
coverage to protect Seller and Customer's premises and to indemnify and
hold Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their agents and employees
harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense (including, but not
limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of any product
liability, death, personal injury or property damage or destruction
occurring at such location in connection with the performance of the
Services, other than solely as a result of Seller's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
Payment
Orders are not binding upon
Seller until accepted by Seller. Customer agrees to pay the total
purchase price for the Products plus shipping (to the extent shipping is
not prepaid by Customer), including shipping charges that are billed to
Seller as a result of using Customer's carrier account number. Terms of
payment are within Seller's sole discretion. In connection with
Services being performed pursuant to a Statement of Work, Customer will
pay for the Services in the amounts and in accordance with any payment
schedule set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. If no payment
schedule is provided, Customer will pay for the Services as invoiced by
Seller. Invoices are due and payable within the time period specified on
the invoice, measured from the date of invoice, subject to continuing
credit approval by Seller. Seller, or any of its Affiliates on behalf of
Seller may issue an invoice to Customer. Seller may invoice Customer
separately for partial shipments, and Seller may invoice Customer for
all of the Services described in a Statement of Work or any portion
thereof. Customer agrees to pay interest on all past-due sums at the
lower of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate
allowed by law. Customer will pay for, and will indemnify and hold
Seller and its Affiliates harmless from, any applicable sales, use,
transaction, excise or similar taxes and any federal, state or local
fees or charges (including, but not limited to, environmental or similar
fees), imposed on, in respect of or otherwise associated with any
Statement of Work, the Products or the Services. Customer must claim any
exemption from such taxes, fees or charges at the time of purchase and
provide Seller with the necessary supporting documentation. In the event
of a payment default, Customer will be responsible for all of Seller?s
costs of collection, including, but not limited to, court costs, filing
fees and attorneys? fees. In addition, if payments are not received as
described above, Seller reserves the right to suspend Services until
payment is received.
Except as otherwise specified on an applicable Statement of Work,
Customer will reimburse Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of the Services,
including, but not limited to, travel and living expenses

technology) subject to the Export Administration Regulations, such

law. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it will not export,
re-export, or provide such items to any entity or person within any

and the only warranties offered are those of the manufacturer, not

Confidential Information
Each party anticipates that it may
be necessary to provide access to information of a confidential nature
of such party, the Affiliates or a third party (hereinafter referred to
as "Confidential Information") to the other party in the performance of
this Agreement and any Statement of Work. "Confidential Information"
means any information or data in oral, electronic or written form which
the receiving party knows or has reason to know is proprietary or
confidential and which is disclosed by a party in connection with this
Agreement or which the receiving party may have access to in connection
with this Agreement, including but not limited to the terms and
conditions of each Statement of Work. Confidential Information will not
include information which: (a) becomes known to the public through no
act of the receiving party; (b) was known to the receiving party, or
becomes known to the receiving party from a third party having the right
to disclose it and having no obligation of confidentiality to
the disclosing party with respect to the applicable information; or (c)
is independently developed by agents, employees or subcontractors of the
receiving party who have not had access to such information. To the
extent practicable, Confidential Information should be clearly
identified or labeled as such by the disclosing party at the time of
disclosure or as promptly thereafter as possible, however, failure to so
identify or label such Confidential Information will not be evidence
that such information is not confidential or protectable.
Each party agrees to hold the other
Party's Confidential Information confidential for a period of three (3)
years following the date of disclosure and to do so in a manner at least
as protective as it holds its own Confidential Information of like kind
but to use no less than a reasonable degree of care. Disclosures of the
other Party's Confidential Information will be restricted (i) to those
individuals who are participating in the performance of this Agreement
or the applicable Statement of Work and need to know such Confidential
Information for purposes of providing or receiving the Products or
Services or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the
applicable Statement of Work, or (ii) to its business, legal and
financial advisors, each on a confidential basis. Each party agrees not
to use any Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose
other than the business purposes contemplated by this Agreement and the
applicable Statement of Work. Upon the written request of a
party, the other party will either return or certify the destruction of
the Confidential Information of the other party.
If a receiving party is required by law, rule or regulation, or
requested in any judicial or administrative proceeding or by any
governmental or regulatory authority, to disclose Confidential
Information of the other Party, the receiving party will give the
disclosing party prompt notice of such request so that the disclosing
party may seek an appropriate protective order or similar protective
measure and will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment
of the Confidential Information so disclosed.

Termination
Either party may terminate
performance of a Service or a Statement of Work for cause if the other
party fails to cure a material default in the time period specified
herein. Any material default must be specifically identified in a
written notice of termination. After written notice, the notified party
will, subject to the provision of warranties herein, have thirty (30)
days to remedy its performance except that it will only have ten (10)
days to remedy any monetary default. Failure to remedy any material
default within the applicable time period provided for herein will give
cause for immediate termination, unless such default is incapable of
being cured within the time period in which case the defaulting party
will not be in breach (except for Customer?s payment obligations) if it
used its reasonable efforts to cure the default. In the event of any
termination of the Services or a Statement of Work, Customer will pay
Seller for all Services performed and expenses incur red up to
and including the date of termination plus any termination fee if one is
set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. In such event Customer

direct costs resulting from termination. Upon termination, all rights
and obligations of the parties under this Agreement will automatically
terminate except for any right of action occurring prior to termination,
payment obligations and obligations that expressly or by implication
are intended to survive termination (including, but not limited to,
limitation of liability, indemnity, confidentiality, or licensing of
Work Product and this survival provision).
Provisions Related to Custom Imaging

Arbitration
Any claim, dispute, or controversy
(whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or
future, and including, but not limited to, statutory, common law,
intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to the
Products, the Services, the interpretation or application of these Terms
and Conditions or any Statement of Work or the breach, termination or
validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms and
Conditions or any Statement of Work (including, to the full extent

or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided for in the
applicable arbitration rules or by agreement of the parties involved. Further,
Customer will not have the right to participate as a representative or
member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Claim.
Notwithstanding any choice of law provision included in these Terms and
Conditions, this arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal
Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. ?? 1-16). The arbitration will take place
exclusively in Chicago, Illinois. Any court having jurisdiction may

or research required to complete arbitration. The existence or results

through arbitration.
Miscellaneous

or any portion of its rights or obligations with respect to the sale of
Products or the performance of Services or assign the right to receive
payments, without Customer's consent. Customer may not assign these
Terms and Conditions, or any of its rights or obligations herein without
the prior written consent of Seller. Subject to the restrictions in
assignment contained herein, these Terms and Conditions will be binding
on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors
and assigns. No provision of this Agreement or any Statement of Work
will be deemed waived, amended or modified by either party unless such
waiver, amendment or modification is in writing and signed by both
parties. The relationship between Seller and Customer is that of
independent contractors and not that of employer/employee, partnership
or joint venture. If any term or condition of this Agreement or a
Statement of Work is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the same shall not
affect the other terms or conditions hereof or thereof or the whole of
this Agreement or the applicable Statement of Work. Notices provided
under this Agreement will be given in writing and deemed received upon
the earlier of actual receipt or three (3) days after mailing if mailed
postage prepaid by regular mail or airmail or one (1) day after such
notice is sent by courier or facsimile transmission. Any delay or
failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy will not
constitute a waiver of that party to thereafter enforce such rights.
