hereof in their entirety without addition, modification or exception and
any term, condition, or proposal hereafter submitted by Buyer (whether
oral or in writing) which is inconsistent with or in addition to the
terms and conditions set forth herein is objected to and is hereby
rejected by Seller. Seller's silence or failure to respond to any such
subsequent term, condition or proposal shall not be deemed to be
Seller's acceptance or approval thereof.
2. DELIVERY
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery shall be made in accordance
with Seller's shipping policy in effect on the date of shipment. Title
to, and all risk of loss or damage with respect to, the Products shall
pass to Buyer upon delivery by Seller to the carrier or Buyer's

Buyer of all necessary information and documentation from Buyer,
including all import certificates, licenses and other documents as may
be required from Buyer for export of the Product. Buyer shall promptly
notify Seller, no later than fifteen (15) days from invoice date, of any
claimed shortages or rejection as to any delivery. Such notice shall be
in writing and shall be reasonably detailed stating the grounds for any
such rejection. Failure to file any such notice within such time shall
be deemed an acceptance in full of any such delivery. Seller shall not
be liable for any shipment delays beyond the reasonable control of
Seller which affect Seller or any of Seller's suppliers, including but
not limited to delays caused by unavailability or shortages of Products
from Seller's suppliers, natural disasters, acts of war, acts or
omissions of Buyer, fire, strike, riot, or governmental interference,
unavailability or shortage of materials, labor, fuel or power through
normal commercial channels at customary and reasonable rates; failure or
destruction of plant or equipment arising from any cause whatsoever, or
transportation failures.
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
Product and pricing data is updated frequently and may change without
notice. Final pricing on your order is effective on the date that
payment for your order has been received. However, if there is a change
in price, the Buyer will be notified at the time of receipt of funds and
given the opportunity to modify their order or remit additional payment.
Buyer shall bear all applicable federal, state, municipal and other
government taxes (such as sales, use and similar taxes), as well as
import or customs duties, license fees and similar charges, however
designated, levied on this sale or the Products (or the delivery
thereof) or measured by the purchase price hereunder. (Seller's prices
set forth on the front of the invoice may not include such taxes, fees
and charges, and any such expenses will be additionally invoiced).
Sales Tax Exemption certificates must be presented prior to shipment
if they are to be honored.
Unless otherwise specified, payment terms are cash or credit card with
order. Payment for all other orders must be made in accordance with the
terms in effect at the time the order was placed or as indicated on the
invoice. Seller at its discretion may require reasonable advance
assurances of payment through irrevocable bank letters of credit or
otherwise. All unpaid invoices shall bear interest at the rate of 18%
per annum or the maximum allowable legal rate, whichever is lower,
commencing upon the date payment is due. Buyer's failure to make payment
according to the terms and conditions hereof may result in such action
as, including but not limited to, revocation of credit, delay or
cessation of future deliveries, repossession of unpaid delivered goods,
cancellation of software licenses, and termination of this agreement or
any one or more of these. Notwithstanding any "net" payment provisions
specified on valid quote or invoice documents, Seller shall have no
continuing obligation to deliver Products on credit, and any credit
approval may be withdrawn by Seller at any time and without prior
notice. Seller hereby retains (and Buyer grants to Seller) a security
interest in the Products to secure payment in full and compliance
herewith, and Buyer agrees to execute any additional documents necessary
to perfect such security interest. Buyer's failure to pay according to
the terms hereof may result in, among those items listed above,
cancellation of software licenses, thereby exposing users to copyright
infringement laws. Buyer hereby expressly acknowledges seller's right to
cancel software licenses for such failure.

TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SELLER WILL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY. The
right to return defective products, as previously described, shall
constitute JCW Computer Consulting, LLC's sole liability and Buyer's
exclusive remedy in connection with any claim of any kind relating to
the quality, condition or performance of any product, whether such claim
is based upon principles of contract, warranty, negligence or other
tort, breach of any statutory duty, principles of indemnity or
