Conditions constitute the contract (the "Agreement") for
the sale by Oligos Etc. Inc., an Oregon Corporation ("Company")
to the purchaser identified on the Purchase Order (the "Customer")
of the goods and services described therein (the "Products").
The Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement
between Company and Customer and is the complete and exclusive statement
of the terms and conditions relative to purchases from Company by
Customer. Any and all oral representations, promises, warranties,
or statements shall be given no force or effect. Any provision of
any purchase order or confirmation submitted by Customer that conflicts
with the Agreement, including any of these Terms and Condition,
shall not be binding upon the Company. Any offer by Customer stating
terms additional to or different from the terms hereof, or stating
that acceptance hereof is conditioned upon Company's assent to such
additional or different terms is hereby rejected. These Terms and
Conditions may be modified only by a writing signed by both Customer
and the Company. Acceptance of any order or orders shall not constitute
an agreement by Company to accept any future orders from Customer.
Company may discontinue accepting orders from Customer at any time,
in Company's sole discretion.
2. Pricing and Shipment. Unless otherwise provided on the applicable
Purchase Order, the price for Products shall be Company's price
and charges in effect at time of each shipment. Company reserves
the right to change its prices at any time without notice. If prompt
payment discounts are offered by the Company, they are applicable
only to the cost of the Products and do not apply to or reduce shipping
charges and taxes. Prices do not include sales, excise, use or other
taxes measured by the sales price. All such taxes are Customer's
responsibility. If the price for Products includes transportation
charges, any changes in such transportation charges imposed by the
carrier or pursuant to change requests from the Customer shall be
for the account of Customer, payable upon demand by the Company.
Except as otherwise provided in a Purchase Order, Customer shall
pay all costs of transportation, FOB Company's facility. Customer
hereby assures it will not export or re-export the goods in violation
of any applicable laws, regulations, or governmental orders, including
U.S. versions of the same as applicable.
3.
Insurance. Customer shall bear all risk of and responsibility for
damage or loss to the Products after Company delivers the Products
to the carrier. Customer agrees to provide and maintain adequate
insurance for the Products supplied under the Purchase Order to
fully protect Company's interest during the time between delivery
and final payment. Loss or damage by fire or other causes during
such period shall not relieve Customer from its payment obligations
under the Purchase Order.
4.
Payment; Interest; Collection; Insecurity. All payments shall be
in U.S. dollars. Terms of sale are net 30 days of invoice, unless
otherwise stated on the Purchase Order. All overdue amounts shall
bear interest until paid at 1.5% per month or at the highest applicable
lawful rate, whichever is lower. Customer shall pay all collection
cost of Company including agency fees and/or attorney fees, in collection
efforts for overdue amounts, whether or not a lawsuit is filed,
including such fees at trial and on appeal. Whenever reasonable
grounds for insecurity arise with respect to performance by Customer,
Company may demand terms of payment different from those specified
herein, and may demand assurance of Customer's due performance.
Company may, upon making such demand, suspend production or delivery
of Products. If within the period stated in such demand, Customer
fails or refuses to give adequate assurance of its performance,
Company may (i) by notice to Customer treat such failure or refusal
as repudiation by Customer of the portion of the Agreement not then
fully performed, whereupon Company may cancel all further deliveries
and any amounts unpaid hereunder shall immediately become due and
payable; or (ii) make shipments under reservation of a security
interest and demand payment against tender of documents of title.
5.
Inspection. Customer shall promptly inspect the Products upon receipt.
Customer must accept any tender of Products by Company substantially
in conformity with terms of the Purchase Order. Customer's acceptance
will be conclusively presumed if Customer fails to give Company
written notice of rejection within 10 days after receipt of the
Products. The notice shall describe the rejected Products and the
reasons upon which rejection is based.
6.
Performance; Risk Of Loss. Company may deliver the Products in installments
unless otherwise stated herein, and may render separate invoices
for such installments, which invoices shall be paid when due, without
regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in performance or delivery
of any installment shall not relieve Customer of its obligation
to accept and pay for prior or remaining deliveries. No course of
prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade shall be
relevant or admissible to vary any of the terms of this Agreement.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, Company shall not
be liable, directly or indirectly, for any delay in delivery. Delivery
dates are estimated only. In the event of any such delay, Company
shall have such additional time within which to perform its obligations
hereunder as may reasonably be necessary under the circumstances.
7.
Patents. The sale of the Products shall not grant to Customer any
right or license of any kind under any patent owned or controlled
by Company or under which Company is licensed, provided that the
foregoing shall not be understood to limit in any way the right
of Customer to use and sell the Products. Company does not warrant
that the use or sale of the Products delivered hereunder will not
infringe the claims of the United States or other patents covering
the Products themselves or the use hereof in combination with other
products or in the operation of any process. Customer agrees to
indemnify and hold Company harmless from any claims, expenses, or
damages related to a claim that a Product infringes a third party
