Zymbit Terms & Conditions of Sale
These terms and conditions govern the sale of Products(“Product or Products”) and provisions of services (“Services”) by Zymbit Inc and its affiliates (“Seller”) as well as by third party vendors and/or service providers of Seller. These terms and conditions (“Agreement”) take precedence over Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Neither Seller’s commencement of performance or delivery shall be deemed or construed as acceptance of Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions. Zymbit’s failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this agreement. Buyer’s acceptance of the Products and/or Services from Seller shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein. Seller is predominantly a business to business supplier. By ordering, the Buyer confirms that they are qualified professional who wish to obtain the Products for the purposes of its business and not as a consumer.
1. Orders
All orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller. All orders are non-cancelable, non- returnable (“NCNR”) Orders and may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Seller’s written consent. All orders must identify the products, unit quantities, part numbers, applicable prices and requested delivery dates of the Products being purchased. Unless otherwise agreed, Seller may in its sole discretion allocate Product among its Customers. The sale of such Products shall be subject to any special terms and conditions contained in Seller’s Order Acknowledgement, which shall prevail and supersede any inconsistent terms and conditions contained herein or elsewhere.
2. Taxes & Duties
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all prices quoted are Ex-works California USA and are exclusive of transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including federal, state and local sales, excise and value added, goods and services taxes, and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Seller’s invoice.
3. Payment
Payment may be made by wire transfer, credit card or PayPal with all fees borne by the Buyer, unless agreed otherwise. Where Seller has extended credit to Buyer, terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice, without offset or deduction unless otherwise noted. On any past due invoice, Seller may impose interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month. If Buyer fails to make each payment when it is due, Seller reserves the right to change or withdraw credit and thereby suspend or cancel performance under any or all purchase orders or agreements in which Seller has extended credit to Buyer. In the event of default by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to costs, fees, and expenses, including but not limited to recovery of attorney fees, court costs and fees, and collections costs.
4. Cancellation

In the event of any cancellation, Buyer shall have no rights in partially completed products.
