Terms and Conditions of Sale
These terms and conditions of sale are the only terms that govern the sale of the Phoenix MICRON imaging platform (“Product”), other goods, and/or repair services set forth on the Sales Order to which these terms are incorporated by reference (together, this “SO”). As used herein, “Phoenix” means Phoenix-Micron, Inc. and “Buyer” means the Buyer listed on this SO. Buyer’s acceptance of this SO is evidenced by its issuance of a Purchase Order in response to a Phoenix quotation (each, a “Buyer PO”), which is confirmed by this SO, or payment of any fees due hereunder, whichever occurs sooner. Buyer’s acceptance is limited to the terms and conditions of this SO. Unless separately agreed in writing this SO constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and cancels and supersedes all prior communications, understandings and agreements. All amendments or changes of any kind must be in writing, executed by both parties.
PAYMENT TERMS: Buyer shall make all payments as set forth in the payment terms on this SO. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all prices are in U.S. dollars. All prices for goods are exclusive of, and Buyer is responsible for, all sales, value added, use and like taxes and any applicable customs duties, import licenses, excise fees or tariffs, except for those sales taxes that Phoenix is obligated to collect and remit the appropriate taxing authority. Buyer must provide Phoenix a valid certificate of tax exemption from the appropriate taxing authority if Buyer is exempt from paying sales tax. Payments not received in a timely manner shall be subject to interest at a rate of the lesser of the maximum allowed by law and 1.5% per month. Buyer is responsible for all payment collection costs incurred by Phoenix, including attorneys’ fees.

- all shipments of goods to destinations outside the United States and Canada shall be in accordance with the Incoterm stated in this SO, provided, that Buyer is responsible for all costs, tariffs, taxes, fees, and duties that may apply;

- Buyer shall be liable for costs of insurance and transportation and for all import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred, as well as any licenses or clearance required at port of entry and destination;
- Phoenix may deliver goods in installments. Unless agreed otherwise, quoted lead times and ship dates are approximate only. Phoenix shall not be liable for any loss or expense, whether by way of contract or tort, consequential or otherwise, incurred by Buyer if Phoenix fails to meet the specified estimated delivery schedule; and
- Phoenix shall ship exclusively to the shipment address stated on the applicable Buyer PO. Should Buyer wish to change the ship-to address after the Buyer PO is accepted, Buyer must notify Phoenix in writing of the updated address.
CONTINGENCIES: Phoenix shall not be liable for any delay in delivery, repair or for non-delivery, in whole or in part, caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond the control either of Phoenix or its suppliers, including, but not limited to, war (whether an actual declaration thereof is made or not), sabotage, insurrection, riot or other act of civil disobedience, act of a public enemy, failure or delay in transportation, act of any government or any agency or subdivision thereof, judicial action, labor dispute, accident, fire, explosion, flood, storm or other act of God, shortage of labor, fuel, raw material or machinery or technical failure where Phoenix has exercised ordinary care in the prevention thereof. Phoenix may allocate production and deliveries among Phoenix’s Buyers.
REPAIR SERVICES: In consideration of Buyer’s payment to Phoenix of the applicable fees outlined in this SO, Phoenix will provide the repair services expressly described in this SO to repair Product that is not covered by a Product Warranty or a Service Contract (“Repair Services”).

Upon receipt of the repaired Product, if issues are found, Buyer may open a support ticket for resolution.
If Repair Services are purchased under this SO, Buyer and Phoenix agree that Phoenix is an independent contractor and that no partnership or joint venture shall be deemed to exist between them. This SO does not constitute authority for Phoenix to act for Buyer as its agent or make commitments for Buyer.
