By submitting a Purchase Order for the purchase of
products, Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following terms and conditions:
Orders
Customer will initiate offers to purchase products by the submission of a Purchase Order
to IEC Supply LLC. Purchase Orders will identify the products, unit quantities, part
numbers, descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. All Purchase Orders
are subject to IEC Supply's acceptance, in its sole discretion, according to product
availability and these governing Terms and Conditions.
Prices
All prices are set forth in US dollars. All quoted prices are subject to change without
notice. Prices charged are those in effect at the time of shipment and Customer agrees to
pay such prices, subject to any Customer specific pricing and transaction related charges.
Prices may increase before shipment in the event IEC Supply's costs increase. If delivery
is delayed at Buyer's request beyond the originally scheduled delivery date, prices are
subject to revision.
Products invoiced and held by IEC Supply at Customer's request will be held at Customer's
sole risk and expense above and beyond the purchase price, including but not limited to
storage and handling charges.
Taxes
Any applicable sales, excise, use or other taxes, duties or fees which IEC Supply may be
required to pay or collect, under any existing or future law, upon or with respect to the
sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use, consumption or transportation of any
products covered hereby, shall be for the account of the Customer, and Customer agrees to
pay such amount to IEC Supply upon request in addition to the quoted purchase price.
Terms of Payment
Subject to the approval of Customer's credit by IEC Supply, standard term of payment is
NET thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, and payment shall be made as follows: a. For Customers having an established place of business in the
United States (excluding protected territories and possessions) and requesting delivery of
product in the United States (excluding protected territories and possessions), Customers
may pay by personal/business check, money order, major credit card (MasterCard, Visa, and
American Express), Cash on Delivery (C.O.D).
b. For Customers requesting delivery of product to
locations outside of the United States, Customers must pay by wire transfer of funds only.
A $200 minimum order is required for international orders. All international orders will
be charged a $30 wire transfer fee. If the minimum requirement is not met, a minimum order
fee will be charged the order difference. Normal terms will apply to US companies
exporting to foreign countries.
c. For Customers paying by credit card and ordering NCNR
(non cancelable, non returnable) or non stock items, the credit card will be charged in
advanced.
d. For Customers paying by personal/business check, a $25
fee will be charged for returned checks.
Customer will pay the total amount of each invoice from
IEC Supply pursuant to the terms of such invoice without offset or deduction. Invoices not
paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%)
percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to
make payment when due, IEC Supply may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which
event IEC Supply will be entitled to reimbursement for costs of collection and reasonable
attorneys' fees. All Customer Purchase Orders are subject to ongoing credit approval by
IEC Supply. Customer will submit such financial information as IEC Supply may reasonably
require for determination of credit terms. IEC Supply may, at any time or times, suspend
performance of any order or require payment in cash, security or other adequate assurance
satisfactory to IEC Supply when, in IEC Supply's opinion, the financial condition of
Customer or other grounds for insecurity warrant such action. IEC Supply may, in its sole
discretion, change theses terms of payment without notice, at any time or times, for all
future transactions and require advance payment, security, payment by official bank draft
or other approved payment means, as IEC Supply deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
If Customer is in default of any payment, IEC Supply may,
in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel delivery of product under any and all Purchase
Orders or cancel any and all Purchase Orders, in whole or in part, and Customer shall be
liable to pay IEC Supply for products already shipped.
As may be authorized hereunder, payments by check are
subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment.
Delivery & Title
All orders are shipped FOB point of shipment. Products will be shipped via UPS (or other
like carrier when necessary), unless requested otherwise by Customer. For priority or
overnight deliveries, please so indicate when ordering. IEC Supply will make reasonable
effort to deliver products in accordance with Customer's requested delivery date(s).
Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by IEC Supply are estimates only - not
a warranty or guarantee -- and that IEC Supply will not be liable for failure to deliver
product on such dates. Customer requests to reschedule delivery dates are subject to
acceptance by IEC Supply.
Subject to IEC Supply's right of stoppage in transit,
delivery to a carrier will constitute delivery to Customer, and all risk of loss will
thereupon pass to Customer; however, title in and to all products shall remain in IEC
Supply until payment is made in full by Customer and received by IEC Supply.

products must be made to the carrier in accordance with the carrier's claims policy, but
not more than ten (10) days after delivery of the product to the carrier.

be deemed to have accepted the products unless a valid written notice of rejection, due to
defect in the goods or non-conformance to the order, is received by IEC Supply within 30
days of Customer's receipt of goods. No such claims made after such period need be
considered by IEC Supply. Products purchased on the basis of weight are subject to
customary quantity variations recognized by trade practice.

Supply before returning any product eligible for return. No return of eligible products
