These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) apply to all sales of products (the “Products”) by ASW Machinery, Inc., dba Felder USA (“Felder”) to the buyer of the Products (“Buyer”) indicated on the attached order confirmation (the “Order”). These Terms (along with the specific terms, if any, of the Order) constitute the complete and entire agreement between the parties relating to the Products, and supersede any and all prior and contemporaneous terms, provisions or conditions, whether oral or written, including negotiations, prior quotations and purchase orders between the parties. These Terms may be modified only by a writing signed and approved by an authorized representative of Felder. Felder’s failure to object to any term or condition contained in any communication from Buyer (including in any purchase order) shall not be deemed a waiver or modification of these Terms. These Terms shall not be modified, supplemented, qualified or interpreted by any trade usage or prior course of dealing not expressly made a part hereof.

2. Orders
Subject to Section 1, a contract between Felder and Buyer shall be formed only upon Felder’s written acceptance of Buyer’s order or Delivery of Products to Buyer pursuant to Buyer’s written purchase order. If Felder accepts by Delivery, then the acceptance shall only be for the quantity shipped.

3. Title and Delivery
3.1 Title and Risk of Loss. Delivery is F.O.B. Felder’s point of shipment (“Delivery”). Notwithstanding the risk of loss passing to Buyer, Felder shall retain title to the Products until Felder has received full payment for the Products on Delivery. In the event governing law requires a change in title, then Felder hereby reserves and Buyer hereby grants to Felder a purchase money security interest in the Products sold and the proceeds thereof, including accounts receivable, until Buyer pays Felder the purchase price in full. Upon Felder’s request, Buyer shall execute any financing statements, continuation statements or other documents as may be necessary to protect Felder’s security interest.
3.2 Delivery and Storage. Any scheduled Delivery date quoted is approximate and not the essence of the contract. If Buyer fails to claim the Products within thirty (30) days of
Delivery, Felder may elect to store the Products. Such storage shall be at Buyer’s risk and expense. Felder may charge Buyer a $400 initial storage fee and an additional storage fee of $90 per machine, per week. Storage fees will be deducted from Buyer's deposit until such deposit is depleted, after which time Felder may, at its sole option, continue to store the Products at Buyer’s expense or sell the Products to mitigate Felder’s damages.
3.3 Delay in Delivery. Should Delivery of all or any part of the Products (or any other obligation of Felder) be delayed by events beyond Felder’s reasonable control, Felder’s time for performance shall be extended by the period of the delay. Felder may at Felder’s option upon fifteen (15) days notice to Buyer cancel the Order, in whole or in part, without liability. In such event Buyer shall remain liable for all Deliveries already made.

The prices quoted on Order shall be valid only for the period of time there indicated. All prices are exclusive of transportation, insurance, taxes, duties and other charges related thereto. Such charges, when applicable, will appear as separate items on the invoice unless Felder receives a certified tax exemption from Buyer prior to Delivery. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Felder harmless from any loss or expense arising out of or related to Felder’s reliance on any tax exemption provided by Buyer.

5. Payment
