STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
GOODS SOLD BY NISUS CORPORATION ("NISUS") ARE EXPRESSLY SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW. ANY DIFFERENT OR ADDITIONAL TERMS OR CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN A PURCHASE ORDER OR SIMILAR COMMUNICATION RECEIVED FROM BUYER ARE OBJECTED TO AND SHALL NOT BE BINDING UPON NISUS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING BY AN AUTHORIZED CORPORATE OFFICER OF NISUS.

PRICE: Prices of products in effect at time of shipment shall prevail. All prices quoted by NISUS are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include any present or future sales, use excise, value-added, or similar taxes and, where applicable, such taxes shall be billed as a separate item and paid by the Buyer. A late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (Annual Percentage Rate of 18%) shall be charged on all past due accounts and Buyer shall pay NISUS all costs incurred by NISUS in collecting any past due account from Buyer, including all court costs and attorney's fees; provided, however, if the foregoing charges exceed that rate which may be lawfully charged under applicable law, then such charges shall be calculated so as not to exceed the highest lawful rate.

PURCHASE ORDERS:

Purchase orders may be written (including email or fax) or telephonic and constitute an offer by Buyer to enter into a purchase and sale contract with NISUS upon the terms and conditions set forth in these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. NISUS will not be bound by any purchase order until such time as NISUS receives the purchase order and NISUS agrees in writing (including email or fax) to fill the purchase order or does fill the purchase order.

SHIPPING TERMS:

Unless otherwise noted, all sales are made f.o.b. point of shipment and, in all cases, title shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the carrier at point of shipment and thereafter all risk of loss or damage shall be upon Buyer.

DELIVERY:

Delivery dates given in advance of actual shipment are estimates and shall not be deemed to represent fixed or guaranteed delivery dates. NISUS shall not be liable for failure to deliver or for delay in delivery or performance because of: (i) circumstances beyond its reasonable control; or (ii) an act of God, act or omission of Buyer, act of civil or military authority, governmental priority or other allocation or control, fire, strike, or other labor difficulty, riot or other civil disturbance, insolvency or other inability to perform by the manufacturer or delay in transportation; or (iii) any other commercial impracticality. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery or performance shall be extended for a period to the time lost by reason of delay.
