Terms & Conditions of Sale
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale For Customers
SCOPE:
These Terms and Conditions apply to all sales made by Meritech Systems, LLC (“Meritech”), and its Meritech Division. These Terms and
Conditions apply in lieu of any course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the industry.
TERMS:
Buyer agrees to pay for the products, including all component parts, specified on this invoice (the “Product”) in accordance with the payment terms specified on
this invoice. In the event Buyer fails to make any payment to Meritech when due, Buyer’s entire account(s) with Meritech shall become immediately due and payable without
notice or demand. All past due amounts shall bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate of 18% per annum. If Buyer fails to pay any amounts outstanding within 10
days of such due date, Meritech may elect to enter Buyer’s principal place of business and any other location where the Product is located and remove the Product. The
costs of such removal shall be borne solely by Buyer, and Buyer shall indemnify Meritech and hold Meritech harmless from any damages or other liabilities arising from such
removal. The foregoing remedies are in addition to, and not a substitute for, any other remedies provided for herein or that may otherwise be available to Meritech.
SHIPMENTS:
All products are shipped F.O.B., point of shipment unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Meritech. Risk of loss shall transfer to the Buyer upon tender of
goods to Buyer, Buyer’s representative, or common carrier. The cost of any special packing or special handling caused by Buyer’s requirements or requests shall be added
to the amount of the order. If Buyer causes or requests a shipment delay, or if Meritech ships or delivers the products erroneously as a result of inaccurate, incomplete or
misleading information supplied by Buyer or its agents or employees, storage and all other additional costs and risks shall be borne solely by Buyer. Claims for products
damaged or lost in transit should be made by Buyer to the carrier, as Meritech’s responsibility ceases upon tender of goods to Buyer, Buyer’s representative or common
carrier.
INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE:
Claims for damage, shortage or errors in shipping must be reported within three days following delivery to Buyer. Buyer shall have 7
days from the date Buyer receives the Product to inspect the Product for defects and nonconformance that are not due to damage, shortage or errors in shipping and notify
Meritech, in writing, of any defects, nonconformance or rejection of the Product. After such 7 day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Product
and these Terms and Conditions. After such acceptance, Buyer shall have no right to reject the Product for any reason or to revoke acceptance, or to dispute any of these
Terms and Conditions. Buyer hereby agrees that such 7 day period is a reasonable amount of time for such inspection and revocation of the Product. Buyer shall have no
right to order any change or modification to the Product or service previously ordered by Buyer or its representatives. Specially fabricated or ordered items may not be
returned, and no refund will be made. The sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged defect in workmanship or material will be the replacement of the Product subject to
Meritech’s inspection and limited warranty.
TAXES:
Buyer shall be liable for the payment of all transaction based taxes including without limitation sales, use, gross receipts, compensating, occupation, privilege,
excise or other similar taxes assessed in connection with the purchase and sale of the Product by payment of such taxes to Meritech, or by executing and delivering to
Meritech a tax exemption certificate or in those jurisdictions where Meritech is not required to administer the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction, a tax indemnification
agreement. Any such tax exemption certificate or tax indemnification agreement shall be in form
and substance acceptable to Meritech, in Meritech’s sole discretion.
Meritech shall have no obligation to pay any taxes, which are Buyer’s sole responsibility.

Buyer hereby grants Meritech, to secure the payment and performance in full of the purchase price for the Product, plus any fees owed hereunder,
a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Meritech, the Product (the “Collateral”), wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all
proceeds thereof. Buyer represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is, and shall continue to be, a first priority perfected security interest in
the Collateral so long as any portion of the purchase price and fees rema
ins unpaid. Meritech’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the purchase price and
fees have been paid in full. Upon such payment in full, Meritech shall release its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Buyer. Buyer hereby
authorizes Meritech to file financing statements, without notice to Buyer, in all appropriate jurisdictions that, in Meritech
’s sole judgment, are reasonably necessary to perfect
or protect Meritech’s interest or rights hereunder.

fault or negligence of Meritech or Meritech’s agents.
FORCE MAJEURE:
