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.

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

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.

In such event Buyer shall remain liable for all Deliveries already made.
