Inspection & Acceptance of Goods Buyer shall be responsible for conducting any final acceptance tests on goods if necessary, which tests shall be completed promptly and in no event later than immediately after delivery. The goods shall be deemed accepted by Buyer unless Buyer notifies Patchi in writing of Buyer’s rejection of the goods and the reason for such rejection within 30 days after delivery of the goods to the Buyer. Patchi shall elect to credit the account of Buyer or replace, with an additional shipping charge only, to Buyer all goods which at the time of delivery are not in accordance with their manufacturer’s specifications, but only if Buyer provides Patchi timely rejection of the goods and returns such goods to Patchi’ facility within 30 days from date of delivery in original intact packaging and in good condition deemed acceptable to Patchi, in its sole discretion, without their, affixed labels, or any part thereof altered, replaced or removed, and accompanied by a specification in writing of the defects involved. Items returned after 30 days from the date of delivery cannot be returned or refunded. Buyer shall notify Patchi in each instance when Buyer intends to return goods that Buyer believes are not in accordance with their manufacturer’s specifications and Patchi shall be entitled to examine such goods at Seller’s or Buyer’s facilities, at Seller’s option, prior to return.

Shipping Damage or Loss

In the event of shipping damage or loss, Buyer must contact Patchi and the shipping company immediately, within 24 hours of receiving such delivery. If the Buyer has insured the merchandise or if the goods were shipping F.O.B. (meaning the Buyer is being billed for the shipping charges directly by the shipping company), then the insurance claim will be the sole responsibility of the Buyer. If Patchi has shipped the merchandise C.I.F., then the Buyer must register a claim with Patchi on the insurance claim form currently found on its Website. Patchi will credit the Buyer for the loss if and only if the insurance company has approved a claim for the loss with Patchi. Patchi will not be responsible for issuing the Buyer a credit memo if the insurance company has denied the claim. Patchi will not be responsible for any consequential or other damages for the loss or damage of merchandise during shipping. The Buyer will still be expected to pay for the shipment on the appropriate due date.

Return of Merchandise

Patchi can accept no merchandise for return without an RMA number. The Buyer will be solely responsible for loss or misplacement of goods returned without an RMA number.

Offset of Amounts Owed to Buyer

If Buyer is owed any monies by Patchi because of goods purchased from Buyer, overpayment to Patchi or because Patchi has credited Buyer for returned goods or discounted a purchase to Buyer, Patchi, at its sole discretion, may apply the owed amount to any other amounts owed by Buyer to Patchi. Any request for cash refunds of credits to Buyer must be sent to Patchi in writing. Any request for refunds of overpayments not made in writing and held by Patchi for more than two years will be deemed forfeited. Patchi may withhold payment of any amounts owed to Buyer if amounts owed by buyer to Patchi are past due.

Credit Memos

Buyer may not apply a credit to any open invoice without issuance of a credit memo to Patchi. Credit memos may be issued at the sole discretion of Patchi for returned merchandise, payment in exchange and other reasons as determined by Patchi.

Patchi' Right to Increase Prices

Unless otherwise specified on a sales order, Patchi reserves the right to increase the selling price of any and all goods by Patchi’ supplier. The selling price quoted shall, upon increase in price by Patchi’s supplier, be increased by a percentage equal to the percentage of increase in Patchi’ cost for goods and Buyer agrees to pay any such increased price in accordance with the terms hereof.

Taxes

Patchi’ prices do not include any applicable sales, use or other similar taxes. Accordingly, in addition to prices specified by Patchi, Buyer shall also be responsible for payment of any sales, use, excise or similar tax or duties attributable to the sale of goods covered hereby or, in lieu thereof, provide Patchi with tax exemption certificates acceptable to the taxing authorities.

Third party product warranty information is as specified in the third party documentation accompanying the product and, to the extent permitted by local law, Patchi does not warrant a third party product. Other than as may be set forth as a warranty in the product description, Patchi makes no express or implied warranties of any kind relating to any goods or products.

Disclaimer

The warranties set forth in this agreement are in lieu of, and Buyer hereby expressly waives all other warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including without limitation any other warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and all such other warranties are hereby disclaimed and excluded by Patchi. In no event shall Patchi be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages in connection with or arising out of the sale, or use, of any product whether based on breach of warranty or contract, strict liability, negligence or otherwise, whether or not Patchi shall have been advised as to the possibility or reason for any such potential loss or damage. The sole and exclusive remedy for breach of Patchi’s warranty of the products is stated herein. In all other cases (exclusive of Patchi’s liability stated herein) Patchi’ sole and exclusive liability with respect to any matter arising from or connected with the sale or use, of any products or Patchi’ performance under this agreement, whether based on breach of warranty, contract, strict liability, negligence, or otherwise, shall not exceed the original cost to Buyer of the products sold or provided.

Insurance Patchi’ standard terms are Freight on Board-Carrier, Patchi’ shipping facility. Buyer agrees to insure all shipments. As a standard term, Patchi will insure any package with the carrier, where the carrier offers such insurance, and Patchi shall charge the cost of such insurance to Buyer. The Federal Express insurance rate is 0.5% and the UPS insurance rate is 0.33% of the total value of the shipment. Buyer’s recourse for products lost or damaged in shipping is against the carrier. If such a claim is valid, as deemed in the discretion of the carrier, Patchi agrees to assist Buyer in the processing of such claims with the carrier(s).
If Buyer has its own insurance policy, Buyer must fax the insurance policy to Patchi. Buyer must notify Patchi immediately of any change or expiration in its own insurance policy. If buyer insures its own shipment and the shipment is lost or damaged, Buyer will need to claim the insurance with its insurance provider. In any and all cases, Buyer will still be expected to pay for the shipment on the appropriate due date.

Proprietary Rights

Patchi shall have no liability of any kind with respect to any actual or alleged infringement of any United States or foreign patent, trademark, copyright, deskwork right, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right. Buyer agrees to look solely to the manufacturer or licensor of the products with respect to any claim of infringement. Furthermore Buyer agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Patchi, it’s parent, affiliated companies, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees and agents, (collectively “Patchi”) from all sums, costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees, which they may incur or be obligated to pay as a result of any and all claims, demands, causes or action, or judgments arising out of, relating to or in connection with, any use, modification, or enhancement of the goods purchased by the Buyer unless such use, modification, or enhancement is approved in writing by the manufacturer or licenser of the goods.

Default

In the event of any default, the Buyer expressly agrees to pay any and all costs incurred by Patchi in collecting any amounts due under this agreement, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, as well as court fees and costs. The waiver by Patchi of any breach hereof, or default in any payment, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. Patchi shall have all the remedies provided under the Uniform Commercial Code, which shall be cumulative with any other remedies which Patchi may have at law, in equity, under any agreement of any type or otherwise. The exercise or failure to exercise any remedy shall not preclude the exercise of the remedy at another time or of any other remedy at any time. No action regardless of form arising out of or in any way relating to, or in connection with, the goods furnished or services rendered by Patchi may be brought by Buyer more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.
