Pre-printed terms and conditions on any document of customer (“Customer”) (for example: Orders or confirmations) and/or SAT CONTROL’s failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this Agreement.
1. ORDERS. Quotes from SAT CONTROL are invitations to tender and are subject to change at any time without notice. All Orders are subject to acceptance by SAT CONTROL. Contracts between Customer and SAT CONTROL are formed upon SAT CONTROL’s written acceptance or execution of Customer’s Order and shall be subject to this Agreement. All Orders including, but not limited to, Electronic Purchase Orders, for Products identified by SAT CONTROL as non-standard or “NCNR”, are non-cancellable, non-returnable. SAT CONTROL may identify products as non-standard or “NCNR” by various means including, but not limited to, quotes, Scope of Services, products lists, attachments or exhibits. Customer may not change, cancel or reschedule orders for standard products without SAT CONTROL’s consent. SAT CONTROL reserves the right to allocate the sale of Products among its Customers.

Prices are for products only and do not include taxes, shipping charges, freight, duties, and other charges or fees, such as fees for special packaging and labelling of the Products, permits, certificates, customs declarations and registration (collectively, “Additional Fees”). Customer is responsible for any Additional Fees.
3. TERMS OF PAYMENT. Payment of the total invoice amount, without offset or deduction, is due immediately or latest 30 days from the invoice date or as otherwise approved in writing by SAT CONTROL. On any past due invoice, SAT CONTROL may charge interest from the payment due date to the date of payment at 18% per annum, plus reasonable attorney fees and collection costs; or the maximum amount that is allowed under the applicable law if SAT CONTROL’s interest rate is deemed invalid.

SAT CONTROL is not liable for delays in delivery. SAT CONTROL reserves the right to make partial deliveries and Customer will accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.

5. SAT CONTROL’S LIMITED WARRANTY. SAT CONTROL will pass through to Customer any transferable Product warranties, indemnities, and remedies provided to SAT CONTROL by the manufacturer, including any warranties and indemnities for intellectual property infringement. If required by law, SAT CONTROL warrants that at the time of delivery, the Products shall have the specifications stated by the manufacturer in its published data sheet for the Products for 12 months from delivery of Products.

Customer’s sole remedies for breach of SAT CONTROL’s warranty are, at SAT CONTROL’s choice: repair the Products; replace the Products at no cost to Customer; or refund Customer the purchase price of the Products.

6. PRODUCT RETURN. Customer may return Products to SAT CONTROL only with a return material authorization (“RMA”) number issued by SAT CONTROL.
