Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the Materials shipped whether such shipment is in whole or is a partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order. If for any reason Buyer attempts to cancel the purchase order or fails to accept delivery of any of the Materials, then (i) risk of loss related to the Materials shall transfer to Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses related to such wrongful cancellation and/or wrongful non-acceptance.

The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code. 
  6. Replacements & Returns.  
    • Custom Materials – Replacements for Nonconforming Goods. Buyer will be deemed to have accepted custom Materials unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods (as defined below) within thirty (30) days (the “Inspection Period”) and furnishes written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” shall only mean unused and undamaged custom Materials in their original packaging that are different than what is identified in Buyer’s purchase order and shall not include any discrepancy in the quantity of the Materials. If Buyer notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods within the Inspection Period, Seller shall replace the Nonconforming Goods with conforming custom Materials, less the cost of any shipping and handling. Seller’s exercise of such remedy is conditioned upon Buyer shipping, at its expense, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller at the address provided for in the purchase order. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth herein are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided for within this Article III(F)(a), Buyer has no right to return custom Materials purchased from Seller.  
    • Stock – Refund within Inspection Period. Buyer will be deemed to have accepted stock Materials unless it notifies Seller (i) in writing, (ii) within the Inspection Period, and (iii) furnishes written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller of the Materials being (a) undamaged and (b) in their original packaging (the “Conditions”). If Buyer meets such Conditions, Seller shall refund the Materials, less the cost of any shipping and handling. Seller’s exercise of such remedy is conditioned upon Buyer shipping, at its expense, the Materials to Seller at the address provided for in the purchase order. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth herein are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for any issues with any stock Materials.  
  7. Payment Terms. Buyer shall pay all invoiced amounts due to Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions stated on Seller’s invoice and to the extent the Seller’s invoice conflict with any terms of a Buyer’s purchase order, Seller’s invoice shall control. Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms & Conditions or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for ten (10) days, Seller shall be entitled to terminate any and all agreements and purchase orders between Seller and Buyer and/or suspend the delivery of any Materials. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise. 
  8. Miscellaneous
    • Attorney Fees. If any legal action or proceedings are brought by either the Seller or the Buyer, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in addition to other damages awarded.   
    • Governing Law & Venue. These Terms & Conditions shall be governed in all respects by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Indiana and neither the Uniform Commercial Code nor the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall apply. All proceedings arising in connection with these Terms & Conditions shall be tried and litigated only in the state or federal courts sitting in Lake County, Indiana, which the Seller and the Buyer hereby submit to the jurisdiction of and waive any and all rights to request a transfer from. 
    • Successors and Assigns. The covenants and conditions contained in these Terms & Conditions shall apply to and be binding upon the Seller and the Buyer and each of the foregoing’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. 
    • Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of these Terms & Conditions shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision in such jurisdiction or the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The Seller and the Buyer hereby stipulate and declare they will use commercially reasonable efforts to employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that intended by the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.  
    • Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, these Terms & Conditions embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Seller and the Buyer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these Terms & Conditions will be effective, unless such modification, amendment, or waiver is approved in writing by the Seller.
