Throughout this document the term "Seller" shall mean EDGE Tech Corporation.
1. Application. These Conditions shall apply to all sales of goods by
Seller to any purchaser ("Buyer") and shall apply in place of, and prevail
over, any terms or conditions contained or referred to in Buyer's order or
in correspondence or elsewhere or implied by trade custom practice, course
of prior dealing, acquiescence or any course of performance unless
specifically agreed to in writing by Seller and any purported provisions to
the contrary are hereby excluded or extinguished. All orders from Buyer
are expressly limited to and made conditional upon Buyer's acceptance of
the Conditions set forth herein without change. Buyer's acceptance of all
or any portion of the goods shall be deemed an acceptance of these
Conditions. For the purposes of these Conditions a consumer contract is
defined as a contract for the supply of goods or services to a natural person
who in making the contract is acting for a purpose outside his business.
2. Quotations and Acceptance. A quotation by Seller does not constitute an offer and Seller reserves the right to withdraw or revise same at any time prior to Buyer's acceptance of Seller's quotation. No sales representative
or any other person is authorized to make any change or alteration to these
Conditions or any brochures, price lists or other Seller documents without
approval in writing by Seller. No representative or other person is authorized
to assume for Seller any liability, express or implied, except as set forth in
these Conditions.
3. Contract Cancellation. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties,
contracts accepted by Seller cannot be countermanded or cancelled by
Buyer except with the written consent of Seller and upon such terms as will
indemnify Seller for all loss, cost and expense. Seller shall have the right
to terminate any contract if Buyer fails to perform its obligations thereunder.
Such right of termination shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other
rights or remedies which Seller may have in law, equity or contract.
4. Prices. Unless otherwise stated, all prices quoted by Seller are in US
dollars, FOB Seller’s warehouse. Seller may at any time withdraw any
discount from its quoted prices and/or revise prices due to cost increases

If applicable, VAT and other tax or duties payable by Buyer shall be added
to purchase price.
5. Terms of Payment. Subject where appropriate to Condition 8, payment
of invoices shall unless otherwise agreed in writing be made in full at par

received at Seller’s nominated bank account. Seller reserves the right to
require security, payment in advance or C.O.D. and to otherwise modify
payment or credit terms. Any extension of credit allowed to Buyer may be
changed or withdrawn at any time. Interest shall be payable on overdue
accounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by
applicable law, whichever is less, to run from due date for payment thereof
until receipt by Seller of full amount whether or not after judgment. No
payment by Buyer or receipt by Seller of an amount less than the amount
invoiced by Seller shall be deemed other than on account of the invoice
amount, nor shall any endorsement on any check or any letter accompanying
such lesser payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, but Seller may
accept such payment without prejudice to Seller’s rights to collect the
balance of such invoiced amount. Buyer shall be responsible for all
reasonable attorney fees, plus all other costs incurred by Seller in securing
payment for any of the goods which are the subject of these Conditions.
6. Delivery. Delivery dates mentioned in any quotation, acknowledgment
of order, or elsewhere are approximate only and not of contractual effect.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer in
respect of failure to deliver on any particular date, regardless of cause.
Delivery shall be at Seller’s premises unless otherwise agreed to by Seller.
Seller will charge for delivery other than at its premises. If Buyer refuses
or fails to take delivery of goods tendered in accordance with the contract,
or fails to take any action necessary on its part for delivery and/or shipment
of goods, Seller shall be entitled to terminate contract with immediate effect,
to dispose of the goods as Seller may determine, and to recover from Buyer
any loss and additional costs incurred as a result of such refusal or failure.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed, Seller may effect delivery in one or
more installments; each installment shall be treated as a separate contract.
Delivery shall be considered complete when Seller transfers goods to a
common carrier at Seller’s warehouse.
7. Risk. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, and subject
where appropriate to Condition 8, risk shall pass on delivery and Buyer
agrees immediately to insure the goods for at least the purchase price,
payable to Seller therefore in the event such price or part thereof remains
outstanding.
8. Export Sales. In any case where goods are sold CIF or FOB or on the
basis of other international trade terms the meaning of such term contained
in Incoterms as revised from time to time shall apply, except where
inconsistent with any of the provisions contained in these Conditions. Unless
otherwise agreed, price of goods shall be secured by receipt of payment.
9. Security Interest. All goods are supplied to Buyer by Seller on the
following terms:
i Buyer grants Seller a security interest in the goods which are the
subject of these Conditions and any proceeds therefrom until Buyer shall
have paid to Seller the agreed price together with full price of any other
goods subject of any other contract between the parties.
ii. Seller reserves immediate right of re-possession of any goods to
which it has retained a security interest as aforesaid, and thereafter to
resell same and for this purpose Buyer grants an irrevocable right and
license to Seller’s servants and agents to enter upon or into any and all of
its premises or vehicles with or without Seller’s own vehicles during normal
business hours. This right shall continue to subsist notwithstanding
termination of the contract for any reason, and is without prejudice to any
accrued rights of Seller thereunder or otherwise. Subject to terms hereof,
Buyer is licensed by Seller to process said goods in such fashion as it may
wish and/or incorporate them in or with any other product or products, or
any other chattel whatsoever containing any part of the said goods shall
become the sole and exclusive property of Seller, and shall be separately
sorted and marked so as to be identifiable as being made from or with the
goods the property of Seller, provided that if the goods are commingled
with the property of any person other than Buyer, then the product thereof shall
be deemed to be owned in common with such person. Buyer shall be at liberty
and may in ordinary course of its business sell and deliver the goods or any
product produced with Seller’s goods to any third party as Seller’s bailee, and
in a fiduciary capacity, provided the entire proceeds of sale are held in trust for
Seller and any person described in the proviso to this Condition 9, and are not
mingled with any other monies and shall at all times be identifiable as Seller’s
and such person’s monies. Buyer agrees immediately upon being so requested
by Seller to assign to Seller and such person all rights and claims which Buyer
may have against its customers, arising from such sales, until payment in full
is made as aforesaid.
iii. Buyer understands that prices fluctuate widely and often on the goods
sold by Seller. If for any reason Buyer fails to pay in full for any goods, and Seller
(a) exercises its right to repossess any goods to which it has retained a security
interest as allowed by paragraph 9(ii), or (b) regains possession by any other
means (including return of goods by Buyer to Seller), Buyer unconditionally
agrees to pay any shortfall between the original price at which Buyer purchased
said goods, and Seller’s current price for the same goods, computed as of the
date Seller regains possession of them. Any unpaid balance shall bear interest
at 1.5% per month until paid. Seller’s records shall be the sole determinant of
current price, and shall be produced upon demand by Buyer.
10. Returns. No returns will be accepted without Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) number from Seller. Packages with no RMA number
shown on exterior of box will be refused for security and safety reasons. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, all returns will be for replacement
only (or refund of original purchase price at Seller’s option), and there shall
otherwise be no refunds for credit or cash. In the event of a return for credit,
goods returned may be subject to a 20% restocking fee at Seller’s option. All
goods are sold subject to Seller’s Comprehensive Warranty and Disclaimer
(see Section 13 below). In no event shall any liability extend to Seller beyond
the cost of the original goods purchased from Seller. No replacement or
refund of any type will be allowed for returns shipped to Seller and damaged in
transit. All returns must be via a traceable method (registered mail, UPS,
Fedex, Airborne, etc.) and NEVER through regular parcel post.
11. Third Party Rights. Buyer shall indemnify Seller against any and all
liabilities, claims and costs incurred by or made against Seller as a direct or
indirect result of carrying out of any work required to be done on or to the goods
in accordance with the requirements or specifications of Buyer involving any
infringement or alleged infringement of any rights of any third party. Seller
shall have no liability to Buyer in event of goods infringing or being alleged to
infringe the rights of any third party. If goods are or may be subject of third party
rights, Seller shall be obliged to transfer to Buyer only such title as Seller may
have, but without prejudice to the right in a consumer contract for any remedy
of Buyer in event of total or partial non-performance or inadequate performance
by Seller of any contractual obligation on its part. Buyer shall notify Seller
forthwith of any claim made or action brought or threatened alleging infringement
of the rights of any third party. Seller shall have control over and shall conduct
any such proceedings in any manner as it shall determine. Buyer shall provide
all reasonable assistance in connection therewith as Seller may request. Cost
of any such proceeding shall be borne in such proportions as parties shall
determine. Seller’s agreement to indemnify for patent or trademark infringement
is expressly limited to any indemnification which Seller’s vendor has agreed in
writing to provide (or by operation of law has been deemed to provide) to Seller
in event of patent or trademark infringement allegations made against such
vendor’s products.
12. Specifications & Information. Unless expressly agreed in writing by
Seller, all drawings, designs, specifications and particulars of weights and
dimensions submitted by Seller are approximate only and Seller shall have no
liability in respect to any deviation therefrom. Seller accepts no responsibility
for any errors, omissions, or other defects in drawings, designs or specifications
not prepared by Seller and Seller shall be indemnified by Buyer against any and
all liabilities and expenses incurred by Seller arising therefrom but in relation
to consumer contracts without prejudice to the right of consumer to object to
any material deviation from the design specifications or particulars of weight
and dimensions of any products sold hereunder. All drawings, designs,
specifications and information submitted by Seller are confidential and shall
not be disclosed to any third party without Seller’s written consent.

to EDGE, and that number must be clearly marked on the outside of your package
or it will be refused for security reasons. Use a shipping method requiring

after written notice to Seller and a reasonable number of attempts by Seller
to correct the defect, malfunction or other failure this exclusive limited
remedy fails of its essential purpose, Seller shall refund the net purchase
price paid in exchange for a return of the goods, and such refund shall be
the maximum liability of Seller. Seller’s aggregate liability to Buyer, whether
