Terms & Conditions

AGREEMENT TO TERMS

1. APPLICABILITY. These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) by Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals Inc. and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Seller”) to the buyer named on the accompanying order acknowledgment (“Buyer”). The accompanying order acknowledgment (the “Sales Confirmation”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer submitted its order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. Seller may, in its sole discretion and at any time for any reason, change these Terms or any policies, instructions or guidelines applicable to the Goods and/or this Agreement. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to review, understand and comply with these Terms and any related policies, instructions or guidelines which may be updated from time to time and posted on the Seller’s website. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods covered hereby, then the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
   1. THIS ORDER ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO, AND EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED ON, BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF SELLER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SELLER EXPRESSLY OBJECTS TO BUYER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE AND ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS BUYER PROPOSES.

All data provided on Seller’s certification and any analysis from a third party acting on behalf of the Seller will be in accordance with proper sample methodology. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to data gathered for analysis unless Seller has expressly agreed, and certified, to such data.
5. CANCELLATIONS. Cancellations will be accepted only on terms that will insure Seller against loss, including without limitation restocking charges as established by Seller in its reasonable discretion. With respect to custom orders where production has begun, Seller reserves the right to not accept a cancellation
6. DELIVERY.
   • (a) There are no guaranteed delivery dates. The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the issuance of a Sales Confirmation. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall deliver the Goods to Seller’s facility (the “Delivery Point”) using Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods.
   • (b) Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s order.

   • (c) Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods (as defined below) during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” means only the following: (i) product shipped is different than identified in the Sales Confirmation; or (ii) product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents.
   • (b) If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller’s facility. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point.
   • (c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 8(b) are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.

10. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION. These Terms may only be amended or modified, as to Goods ordered prior to any such modification, in a writing that is signed by an authorized representative of each party.
11. QUANTITY. Minimum ordering quantity is dependent upon stock position, gauge ordered and many other variables and is therefore only available upon application. If Seller delivers to Buyer a quantity of Goods within the Applicable Over and Under Shipment Amounts (as defined below), Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Goods or any portion of them by reason of the surplus or shortfall and shall pay for such Goods at the price set forth in the Sales Confirmation with a pro rata adjustment. “Applicable Over and Under Shipment Amounts” means the over/under amount set forth below for each specified Good:

    • (e) The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 14(a) if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such notice; (ii) the defect arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods; or (iii) Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of Seller.

Unless such notice has been given to and accepted by Seller, any subsequent nuclear application of the Goods is wholly unauthorized and shall be deemed to be unknown to, unforeseeable to and unintended by Seller. FURTHERMORE, UNLESS SUCH NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO AND ACCEPTED BY SELLER, BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, AS TO NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS, THE GOODS FURNISHED BY SELLER ARE FURNISHED WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS OF A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

20. WAIVER. No waiver by Seller of any of the provisions of this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by Seller. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement operates, or may be construed, as a waiver thereof.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in New Haven, Connecticut. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in New Haven, Connecticut, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from these Terms of Use. In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
