Terms & Conditions

Alfa Medical Equipment Specialists, Inc
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. Scope. These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) apply to all sales of products (the “Products”) by Alfa Medical Equipment Specialties, Inc. (“Alfa Medical”) 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 Alfa Medical. Alfa Medical’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 Alfa Medical and Buyer shall be formed only upon Alfa Medical’s written acceptance of Buyer’s order or Delivery of Products to Buyer pursuant to Buyer’s written purchase order. If Alfa Medical 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. Alfa Medical’s point of shipment (“Delivery”). Notwithstanding the risk of loss passing to Buyer, Alfa Medical shall retain title to the Products until Alfa Medical has received full payment for the Products on Delivery. In the event governing law requires a change in title, then Alfa Medical hereby reserves and Buyer hereby grants to Alfa Medical a purchase money security interest in the Products sold and the proceeds thereof, including accounts receivable, until Buyer pays Alfa Medical the purchase price in full. Upon Alfa Medical’s request, Buyer shall execute any financing statements, continuation statements or other documents as may be necessary to protect Alfa Medical’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, Alfa Medical may elect to store the Products. Such storage shall be at Buyer’s risk and expense. Alfa Medical 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 Alfa Medical may, at its sole option, continue to store the Products at Buyer’s expense or sell the Products to mitigate Alfa Medical’s damages.

3.3 Delay in Delivery. Should Delivery of all or any part of the Products (or any other obligation of Alfa Medical) be delayed by events beyond Alfa Medical’s reasonable control, Alfa Medical’s time for performance shall be extended by the period of the delay. Alfa Medical may at Alfa Medical’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.

4. Pricing. Alfa Medical reserves the right to increase prices for any unshipped Products if the cost to Alfa Medical for supplies, raw materials, labor or services, increase as a result of governmental action or any other cause beyond Alfa Medical’s reasonable control. 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 Alfa Medical receives a certified tax exemption from Buyer prior to Delivery. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Alfa Medical harmless from any loss or expense arising out of or related to Alfa Medical’s reliance on any tax exemption provided by Buyer.

5. Payment. Payment in full (less any deposits previously made) shall be due and payable prior to Delivery. Alfa Medical may require full or partial payment in advance of Delivery of the Products, and in some cases upon approval Net 30 days terms. Alfa Medical reserves the right to charge a late fee on late payments at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowable by law, together with Alfa Medical’s costs of collections including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

6. Acceptance. Use of the Products by Buyer, or the failure by Buyer to reject the Products in writing within five (5) days following Delivery of such Products shall constitute acceptance by Buyer. Buyer may only reject the Products if the Products do not conform to the mutually agreed upon specifications therefor or if no such specifications exist, then the specifications then generally provided by Alfa Medical to the public regarding the Products.

7. Alfa Medical’s Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liabilities.

7.1 Limitations. EXCEPTING ONLY ALFA MEDICAL’S LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1, ALFA MEDICAL SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF MER¬CHANTABILITY AND AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. THE EXPRESS WARRANTY IN SECTION 7.1 ABOVE SHALL EXTEND TO BUYER ONLY AND NOT TO ANY THIRD PARTY.

7.2 Liability. With respect to any claims asserting breach of the limited warranty set forth in Section 7.1, Alfa Medical’s exclusive liability and Buyer’s sole remedy, is at Alfa Medical’s option, to replace or repair the defective Product or to issue credit to Buyer for the purchase price of the Product (without interest), provided that prior to any replacement, repair or credit the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Alfa Medical is promptly notified in writing by Buyer upon discovery of any such breach, and (ii) such failures did not arise as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation or application, repair, alteration, or accident, or negligence in use, storage, transportation or handling by anyone other than Alfa Medical. Any replacement Product will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Alfa Medical shall in no event be responsible for any labor or other costs incurred by Buyer incident to the replacement of any defective Product.

7.3 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OR THE ORDER, ALFA MEDICAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFIT, PROMOTIONAL OR MANUFACTURING EXPENSES, OVERHEAD, DATA, INJURY TO REPUTATION OR LOSS TO CUSTOMERS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE, SALE, USE, PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE OF THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ALFA MEDICAL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN. IN NO EVENT WILL ALFA MEDICAL’S LIABILITY TO BUYER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID TO ALFA MEDICAL BY BUYER FOR THE PRODUCT THAT GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIM.

8. Default. If Buyer (i) becomes insolvent, bankrupt, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) is otherwise unable to meet Buyer’s obligations as they come due or (iv) breaches Buyer’s obligations under these Terms, Alfa Medical may cease performance hereunder and avail itself of all legal and equitable remedies Alfa Medical may have against Buyer.

9. Advice/Training/Service. Buyer acknowledges that no installation, training or education is contracted for or purchased hereunder. If Alfa Medical offers or gives technical advice or performs any installation or training in connection with the use of any of the Products, such advice or training will be provided only as an accommodation to Buyer and Alfa Medical shall have no responsibilities or liabilities whatsoever for the content or use of such advice.

Buyer shall not assign the Order or any interest in or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Alfa Medical. All unauthorized attempted assignments shall be null and void.
