6. Limited Warranty; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Damages

Company makes no warranties with respect to any Goods except to the extent, if any, of any warranties expressly set forth on Company’s invoice, purchase agreement or rental agreement and except that the Goods will be operational under normal and reasonable operating conditions, reasonable wear and tear excepted (the “Warranty”); provided that the Warranty shall not be of any force or effect to the extent that the Goods are used inconsistently with any governing guidelines or specifications applicable to the Goods. Except as set forth herein, Company makes no other warranties concerning the Goods whatsoever. The Warranty and any other warranties, if any, made by Company as set forth on Company’s invoice, purchase agreement or rental agreement, are made solely to Customer and are not transferable by Customer. COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OFMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHETHER OR NOT COMPANY IS AWARE OF CUSTOMER’S INTENDED USAGE OF THE GOODS. Pertaining to products NOT manufactured by Company, in the event of a recall or upgrade of the Goods, any Warranty or obligation of the Company as described in this paragraph 6 is null and void, and such recall or upgrade will not constitute damage or defect of the Goods. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Goods may be subject to recall or upgrade by product manufacturers, (ii) the warranty does not cover any recall or upgrade of the Goods, (iii) Company has no responsibility or liability to Customer whatsoever with respect to any recall or upgrade of the Goods, (iv) Company is not responsible to communicate any upgrade or recall information to Customer prior or subsequent to receipt of Goods and (v) it is Customer’s responsibility to maintain contact with product manufacturers regarding any information with respect to product recalls or upgrades.

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE GOODS. COMPANY NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE GOODS. If Customer notifies Company in writing of Customer’s claim that the Goods are damaged or defective in such a manner as to be covered by the Warranty within 10 days of the discovery of the damage or defect (which such discovery must be made within the applicable warranty period), Company will review Customer’s claim, and if valid, Company will, at its option, either repair (with non-OEM, after market, preowned or new parts at Company’s discretion) or replace the Goods with same or similar Goods; however, for parts manufactured by Company, Company may, at its option either replace the part or credit Customer’s account on a pro-rata basis, meaning Customer will be credited an amount equal to the number of months remaining on the warranty divided by the warranty period (in months) and multiplied by the purchase price at the time of purchase (for example : (months remaining on warranty / total warranty period) x purchase price). The warranties here within apply only to hardware components of the Device that are not subject to accident, misuse, neglect, fire or other external causes, alterations, repair, or commercial use.

7. Inspection and Acceptance of Goods

Each delivery of Goods will be inspected promptly by Customer for damage, defects and conformity with the Goods ordered. Customer will notify Company, in writing, of all claimed damage, defects or Goods received in error, within five (5) days of Customer’s receipt of the Goods. If Customer fails to so inspect or notify Company, Customer will be deemed to have “accepted” (in accordance with, but not limited to, Section 1 and 2 of this entire agreement) the Goods, and to have waived any damage, defect or inaccuracy in the filling of the order, including any damage or defect covered by the Warranty. No Goods shall be subject to return or cancellation after order has been accepted by Customer pursuant to the terms of this Document. If Customer receives Goods requested in error through no fault of the Company, Company may opt to accept and arrange for a return of Goods. Company may provide credit, minus a 25% restocking fee, completely at Company’s discretion. For trial, loaner, or demo Goods, should the Customer NOT return the equipment, one (1) month from date of receipt, then it will be deemed that the Customer has accepted the Goods received, of which the prevailing fair market Sale Price (Sale Price quoted on the applicable price quotation) shall be applied.

8. Taxes

Company reserves the right to collect sales, use or other taxes on the Goods unless a tax-exempt or direct pay certificate is provided. Since Company may not have nexus in Customer’s state, any sales, use, or similar taxes on the purchase or rental of Goods hereunder which may be due in any political subdivision that is not collected by Company shall be paid by Customer. It shall be the responsibility of Customer to promptly make payment of such taxes or to advise Company of any taxes due. Customer herby agrees to reimburse the company for any sales or use tax not charged to or paid by the customer for which a state or political subdivision may deem due at a later date.

9. Payment and Credits

The terms of payment are United States dollars and set forth on the face of the Purchase Agreement or invoice. If full payment is not received by Company within the terms, Customer shall pay interest to Company at the rate of eighteen (18) percent per annum. COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY PAYMENT TERMS, WITH CUSTOMER’S CONSENT, FOR PURPOSES OF ACCOMMODATING CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PURPOSE IN COMPANY’S DISCRETION, WITHOUT SAID MODIFICATION BEING DEEMED A NEGOTIATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE ENTIRE EXISTING CONTRACT. Company may, at its option, cancel and/or sell any unshipped Goods should Customer fail to fulfill the complete terms of payment. Customer will have no right to offset any amounts against any payment or other obligation which Company may owe to Customer. Company reserves, and Customer hereby grants to Company, a security interest in the Goods sold to secure Customer’s payment of the purchase price and any other charges owed by Customer and Customer agrees that Company may (but is not obligated to) take appropriate actions to evidence and perfect such interest and that Customer will cooperate with Company in the taking of such actions. Credits not taken by Customer within 1 year of credit date are not eligible for refund or allowed to be utilized toward future purchases.

If Company takes possession of the Goods, Company may sell or otherwise dispose of the Goods with or without notice, at a public or private sale, and apply the net proceeds (after deducting all costs related to the sale or other disposition of the Goods) to the amounts that Customer owes Company. Customer agrees that if notice of sale or other disposition is required by law to be given, ten (10) day notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Customer will remain responsible for any amounts that are due after Company has applied such net proceeds. As used herein, “Stipulated Value” means for particular Goods shall be an amount equal, as of any date, to: (i) the total of all amounts due to Company with respect to such Goods as of the date of payment of the Stipulated Value, plus (ii) all future amounts with respect to such Goods plus (iii) the then estimated fair market value of such Goods (as determined by Company) as of the end of the Term. Company’s rights after a Default may be exercised by Company without liability.

16. Rental Terms

The terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph 16 apply to a rental of Goods from Company to Customer. With respect to rental of Goods, the rental agreement billing period for each of the rented Goods begins the date the Goods are shipped from Company’s location. Company is responsible for rental Goods maintenance and will bear the cost of such maintenance, with exception of Customer negligence, abuse or misuse of the Goods. Customer will be charged for parts and labor to get the Goods in working condition. In the event of loss of the Goods, Customer shall be responsible for remitting payment to Company for an amount that is equal to fair market value of the Goods or replace the Goods with goods that are of the same make and model but not older than the lost Goods. Customer shall keep in effect an “All Risk” extended coverage property insurance policy covering the Goods for their full replacement value. Customer will keep and use the Goods only at the location to which the Goods were delivered (the “Goods Location”), and Customer will not abandon the Goods; provided that Customer may move the Goods from the Goods Location in the ordinary course of Customer’s business. Company is the owner of and will hold title to the Goods and any parts, repairs, accessories, and devices attached to, incorporated in, or made part of the Goods. Customer will keep the Goods free of all liens, claims and encumbrances except those in favor of Company or those created by Company. At the end of the applicable rental period, Customer will immediately deliver the Goods to Company to any place in the United States that Company specifies to Customer and Customer will be responsible for proper packing of the Goods and freight charges back to Company. As a precaution if the transaction underlying this Document is deemed to be an agreement intended for security, and without limiting or negating Company’s ownership of the Goods, Customer hereby grants Company a security interest in the Goods (including, without limitation, any replacements, substitutions, additions, accessions, and attachments), all general intangibles associated therewith, all supporting obligations, and all proceeds thereof, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, to secure the payment and performance of all of its liabilities, indebtedness and obligations of Customer to Company under this Document.

Unless the context of this Document is evident that it is to apply solely to a sale, as opposed to a rental of the Goods, the terms and conditions set forth herein apply to a rental of Goods from Company to Customer.

16A. Terms Applicable to Rental of Goods – Non-Fixed Term Rental Agreements

In addition to the terms applicable to rental of Goods generally, the following terms apply to the rental of Goods that are not under Fixed Term Rental Agreements: Once Customer wishes to return the Goods to Company, Customer agrees to call or email Company to terminate the rental of the Goods, at which time a Company representative shall email to Customer a return authorization form (“RA”) with shipping instructions. If Customer does not contact Company for a RA, Customer will be deemed to have elected to extend the rental term of the Goods and to have agreed to pay Company additional rental fees for additional days Customer has kept the Goods. Rental period concludes when rental Goods are received and acknowledged by Company. Calculation of rental fees for partial months is as follows: the quoted full-monthly rental price divided by 30 days multiplied by the days rented. All rentals are billed in arrears on the first of the following month.

16B. Terms Applicable to Rental of Goods – Fixed Term Rental Agreements
