Terms
and Conditions of Sale
The
following are the Terms and Conditions under
which MegaPhase, LLC ("MegaPhase") sells
Products and Services and such Terms and Conditions
may be amended from time to time, without notice
to the Customer, and such amended Terms and
Conditions shall be posted on MegaPhase's website
(www.megaphase.com):
1. DEFINITIONS.
1.1 "Products" means the cable, cable assemblies,
connectors, adapters or other products listed and
described in MegaPhase's product catalog and Published
Term Sheets furnished to Customer under these Terms
and Conditions.
1.2 "Services" means non-warranty maintenance,
installation, training, educational, custom design
or other services for Products provided to Customer,
at MegaPhase's sole option, for additional charge
under these Terms and Conditions or separate written
agreements.
2. PRICES, PAYMENT AND TITLE.
2.1 Prices. Prices for Products and Services
will be those specified in MegaPhase's Price List
(the "Price List") and will be valid for 60 days
from date of quotation unless otherwise stated
therein. If MegaPhase increases prices, Customer's
sole remedy will be to cancel the order. MegaPhase
will refund any advanced payments received for
the order.
2.2 Taxes. Prices do not include, and Customer
is responsible for, all taxes (except taxes on
MegaPhase's net U.S.A. income), tariffs and any
similar charges imposed upon or in connection with
Products or Services, or upon any document relating
to the sale of Products.
2.3 Orders. MegaPhase may reject any order
from Customer for any reason including need to
allocate Products or Services or Customer's creditworthiness.
Orders will be deemed acceptable by MegaPhase upon
Customer's receipt of an Order Confirmation (the "Order
Confirmation"). Any modifications to the Customer's
purchase order made by MegaPhase in the Order Confirmation
will be the final agreement between MegaPhase and
Customer. After this order is accepted, MegaPhase
may revoke its acceptance without liability to
customer if credit approval is denied within 60
days or a letter of credit required by MegaPhase
is not received within 30 days after the estimated
ship date specified by MegaPhase. MegaPhase will
not accept and objects to any terms and conditions
on Customer's purchase order or other writing which
are different or additional to those contained
in the Order Confirmation. No modification or waiver
of these Terms and Conditions will be effective
unless in writing and signed by both parties.
2.4 Payment. Payment for Products and Services
is due as specified on the Order Confirmation.
MegaPhase may require payment to be made through
an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of and
acceptable to MegaPhase and established by Customer
at its expense. To the extent permitted by Customer's
local law, interest on all amounts unpaid after
thirty (30) days may be charged at the annual rate
of 1-1/2 percent per month or highest rate permitted
by law, which ever is lower. If any invoice is
not paid when due, MegaPhase may suspend delivery
or other performance with respect to any Products
or Services to Customer without liability or penalty.
2.5 Title and Security Interest. Both legal
and equitable title to each product sold hereunder
shall remain in MegaPhase until customer has paid
the full purchase price which is due. MegaPhase
reserves a purchase money security interest (or
the equivalent thereof under Customer's local law)
in each product, including all component parts
added by modification or repair, and all proceeds
from the sale thereof, until full payment is received.
Customer agrees to sign upon request any documents
necessary to perfect MegaPhase's security interest.
3. SHIPPING, DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION.
3.1 Shipment. Products will be shipped F.O.B.
MegaPhase's Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania plant. Method
of shipment and carrier will be selected by MegaPhase
unless Customer has specified in writing a method
and carrier satisfactory to MegaPhase. Any charges
for packing, storage and transportation (including
insurance) to point of delivery are listed as separate
charges on the account of Customer in the Order
Confirmation. All risks of loss will pass to customer
upon delivery to the carrier.
3.2 Ship Dates. Requested ship dates are
subject to acceptance by MegaPhase. At MegaPhase's
option, Products may be shipped in advance of a
requested ship date and/or installments of partial
lots. Ship dates specified by MegaPhase are only
MegaPhase's best estimate. MegaPhase's responsibility
will be to use commercially reasonable efforts
to meet all specified ship dates. Customer expressly
acknowledges that MegaPhase will not be liable
for failure to deliver or any delay in delivery
due to wars, transportation delay, strikes or other
disputes with workers, failure or delays on the
part of the suppliers, acts of God, shortages of
goods, government regulations, failure to obtain
import or export licenses or any other cause beyond
the commercially reasonable control of MegaPhase.
3.3 Installation. Customer is responsible
for all labor required for unpacking and placing
each Product at the installation site. At the time
of delivery (and during the time MegaPhase is responsible
for maintenance of the Products under warranty
or separate agreement), the installation site must
conform to all site specifications provided by
MegaPhase. For Products installed at Customer's
facility by MegaPhase, installation will be deemed
complete upon demonstration by MegaPhase that the
Products function in accordance with the Product
warranty.
4. CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULING CHARGES.
4.1 Cancellation. If Customer cancels the
order less than 60 days before the ship date specified
on the first page of this Order Confirmation, subject
to any provisions of Customer's local law to the
contrary, cancellation charges of 25% of the total
order price will apply. Any conduct constituting
a breach of repudiation of these Terms and Conditions
by Customer, including but not limited to failure
to obtain a timely letter of credit as required,
will be deemed to be a cancellation by Customer.
4.2 Rescheduling. Prior to shipment, MegaPhase
will make reasonable efforts to accommodate a delay
requested by customer. If Customer delays shipment
of any Products when ready, MegaPhase may place
such products in storage (which may be at the place
of manufacture). In such event, MegaPhase will
notify Customer of storage of the product and all
risks of loss will pass to Customer at such time.
In addition, (i) MegaPhase may, at its sole option,
submit its invoice for the Products to Customer
and Customer shall pay as set forth in Section
2.4, and (ii) Customer will reimburse MegaPhase
for all storage expenses incurred by MegaPhase,
including but not limited to preparation for and
placement into storage, handling and insurance.

the Product was purchased from the Distributor
but, in no event, greater than 9 months from the
date the Product was shipped to the Customer or
(3) months from the date installation of the product
was completed by MegaPhase (or the date the Product
is or could be delivered to Customer and Customer
fails to provide a suitable site for or delays
installation), whichever comes first. MegaPhase

cause specified in Section 5.4 below. In addition,

which can be repaired at MegaPhase repair center(s),
Customer must (i) receive a return materials authorization
("RMA") prior to returning the defective Product
and (ii) return the product postage prepaid F.O.B.
