“Terms and Conditions” shall mean this document and any terms incorporated by reference.

ACCEPTANCE

Seller agrees to furnish the Articles hereby ordered under this Purchase Order.

CONTRACT MODIFICATION

ASAP Semiconductor may, at any time and by written notice, make changes within the scope of this Contract in the following: delivery schedule, place of acceptance or point of delivery, and/or method of shipping and packing requirements. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of this Contract, ASAP Semiconductor shall make a commensurate adjustment to the price and/or delivery schedule and this Contract shall be considered modified accordingly.

Only the ASAP Semiconductor point of contact for this Contract has the authority to make changes to this Contract. All amendments must be presented in writing and accepted in writing by the receiving party. Any other representative of ASAP Semiconductor proposing to amend this Contract must present to Seller written authorization from ASAP Semiconductor President, CEO, or CLO to make such amendment and failure to do so shall render any such amendment void.

INVOICE AND PAYMENT

An original invoice shall be submitted to accounts receivable for each delivery of Articles and contain the following information:  purchase order number; unique invoice number, invoice date, remit to address, line-item number, description of Articles, part number, size, quantity, unit price, extended line item total and total invoice price.  Any invoice submitted hereunder will be paid Net 30 days after receipt of proper invoice and acceptance of the delivered goods by ASAP Semiconductor.  Prior to payment, ASAP Semiconductor may make any adjustments to Seller’s invoice to accommodate shortages, late delivery, rejections, or other failure to comply with the requirements of this Contract.  Payment discounts will be taken from the date of an acceptable invoice.

DELIVERY

Time is of the essence of this Purchase Order and failure to deliver in accordance with the delivery schedule under this Contract, if unexcused, will be considered a material breach of the Contract.  No acts of Buyer, including without limitation modifications of this Contract or acceptance of late deliveries, shall constitute waiver of this provision. Delivery shall not be deemed to be complete until goods have been received and accepted by ASAP Semiconductor.

Seller shall notify ASAP Semiconductor in writing immediately of any actual or potential delivery delays under this Contract.  Such notice must include a proposed revised schedule but such notice and proposal or ASAP Semiconductor’s receipt or acceptance thereof shall not constitute a waiver of ASAP Semiconductor’s rights and remedies under this Contract.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

All goods and services are subject to inspection by ASAP Semiconductor at no additional cost to ASAP Semiconductor or its customer at reasonable times and places, including at Seller’s location or at Seller’s lower-tier supplier/subcontractor’s location.  

If Seller delivers non-conforming Articles, ASAP Semiconductor may, in addition to any other remedies available at law or at equity:  (i) accept all or part of such goods at an equitable price reduction; (ii) reject non-conforming goods; or (iii) require Seller, at Seller’s expense, to make all repairs, modifications, or replacements at the direction of ASAP Semiconductor necessary to enable such good to comply in all respects with this Contract.  In this instance, Seller shall not redeliver corrected Articles without disclosing the corrective action taken to ASAP Semiconductor in writing.

This mitigation and indemnity shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other damages provided for by this Contract.
