All orders received by HELICOMM INCORPORATED (Helicomm) are expressly conditioned upon the following conditions of sale:
1) Acceptance
Any additional or different terms set forth in any purchase order or other communication from Buyer are objected to and not binding upon Helicomm unless and until accepted in writing by an authorized representative of Helicomm.
2) Standard Warranty
Helicomm warrants to the Buyer of each product of Helicomm's own manufacture ("Product") that each Product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship subject to the following conditions:
The obligations of Helicomm under this Standard Warranty shall be limited to either, at the option of Helicomm: (1) the replacement or repair of any Product upon the shipment of such Product, freight prepaid by Buyer to the Helicomm factory; or (2) the provision to Buyer of a credit against future purchases in an amount equal to the purchase price of the defective Product.
IN NO EVENT WILL HELICOMM BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF BUYER. THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF BUYER FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY UNDER THIS CONTRACT.
All claims under this Standard Warranty must be made within ONE (1) YEAR after the date on which the Product was delivered to Buyer. In the case of a replacement or repair of a Product, Buyer shall only ship a defective Product to Helicomm after an authorized representative of Helicomm has provided a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number for such warranty claim. Returns will be subject to a restocking fee.
With respect to such returns, Buyer is solely responsible for properly packaging any Product to be returned to Helicomm under this Standard Warranty. Products must be packaged in their original manufacturer's packaging or equivalent. Products must be packaged in separate shipping containers with Return Material Authorization (RMA) numbers clearly marked on the outside of the shipping containers. If there are questions regarding proper packaging and shipping, contact Helicomm for guidelines. Helicomm will not be responsible for replacing or repairing any Product damaged while in transit to Helicomm due to faulty or deficient packaging.
This Standard Warranty shall be void and shall not apply with respect to any Product which, upon inspection by Helicomm, shows evidence of damage as a result of abuse, misuse, mishandling, accidental damage, alteration, negligent handling, or improper installation or application, or as a result of alteration or other causes beyond the control of Helicomm.
This Standard Warranty shall not apply to goods or parts included in or supplied with Products; such goods or parts carry only such warranties, if any, as are provided by the manufacturers of such goods or parts, which warranties may be more restrictive than the Standard Warranty provided by Helicomm.
With respect to any previously-purchased Product, Helicomm shall have no obligation to install updates or upgrades to any components in such Product, even if the exclusion of such updates or upgrades of such components renders such Product obsolete when compared to a new Product of a substantially similar type.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION CONTAINED HEREIN. THIS WARRANTY VOIDS AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR ARISING UNDER ANY LAW, RELATING TO THE GOODS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSES. NO PERSON, FIRM, OR CORPORATION IS AUTHORIZED TO ASSUME ON BEHALF OF HELICOMM ANY ADDITIONAL OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, EXCEPT IN A WRITING DULY EXECUTED BY AN OFFICER OF HELICOMM.
3) Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Helicomm be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. The liability of Helicomm on any claim of any kind shall in no event exceed the price of the Product which gives rise to the claim. Except as to title, all such liability shall terminate upon expiration of the warranty period of the Product. The invalidity of any of the previous paragraphs shall not affect the remainder of this paragraph or any other paragraph in this section.
4) Patent Infringement
Buyer shall hold Helicomm harmless against any expense or loss resulting from infringement of patents or trademarks arising from compliance with Buyer's designs or specifications.
5) Delivery and Title
Delivery dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer. Under no circumstances does Helicomm guarantee date of shipment. Unless otherwise specified by Helicomm, shipment will be made and title will pass F.O.B. point of shipment. Helicomm shall ship Products as it deems appropriate unless instructed otherwise in writing by Buyer.
6) Risk of Loss
Risk of loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon shipment. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by Buyer is Buyer's responsibility.
7) Uncontrollable Delays
Helicomm shall not be liable for delivery delays due to causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of Buyer, acts of military authority, governmental priorities, labor strikes, and transportation delays.
8) Financial Conditions
If Helicomm determines in good faith that the financial condition of Buyer at any time does not justify the continuation of production or shipment on the terms of payment originally specified, Helicomm may require full or partial payment in advance. In the event of Buyer bankruptcy or insolvency, Helicomm shall be entitled to cancel any outstanding order and shall receive reimbursement for its cancellation charges.
9) Payment Terms
Unless terms are specifically set forth on the Order Acknowledgement, Buyer shall pay at such time and such terms as specified in Helicomm’s original invoice. Any quotations shall be valid for the period stated on the quotation.
10) Cancellation
Buyer may not cancel its order after shipment has been made. Buyer may cancel its order prior to shipment only upon written notice and consent of Helicomm. If Helicomm consents to any such cancellation, Buyer may be required to pay cancellation charges which include lost profits and all expenses incurred in connection with the cancelled order.
11) Jurisdiction
The validity, performance, and all matters relating to the interpretation and effect of this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. The specifications for the products and components are subject to change. Contact a Helicomm sales representative, or log onto our website for up-to-date product information: www.helicomm.com
