If there is no such written agreement, LTI will purchase the Goods and/or the Services only upon the following terms and conditions. Seller’s acknowledgement of the Purchase Order, shipment or delivery of the Goods or provision of the Services either in whole or in part shall constitute Seller's assent to and acceptance of the following terms and conditions.

With respect to the Purchase Order, these terms and conditions and the Goods and the Services, LTI shall be responsible only for taxes that LTI is required to pay under applicable statutes. All other taxes with respect to any of the same shall be paid by Seller.

If any delivery is, or is threatened to be, delayed, Seller shall promptly give notice thereof to LTI’s authorized representative, together with all relevant information with respect thereto. The giving of and the terms of such notice shall not relieve Seller of any duty hereunder. Seller's failure to deliver the Goods and Services of the quality, within the time, at the place, at the rate and in the manner specified by the Purchase Order or agreed to by LTI in writing shall, at the option of LTI, without waiver of any right it has, relieve LTI of any obligation to accept and pay for such Goods or any undelivered installment thereof.

Title to the Goods shall pass to LTI upon delivery of the Goods to LTI’s designated destination.

Such changes must be pre-approved in writing and signed by an authorized representative of LTI. Seller agrees to provide LTI with a Certificate of Analysis for each of the Goods confirming Seller’s verification that the Goods delivered meet the specifications required hereunder.

LTI reserves the right (without being obligated to do so) to inspect and/or test all Goods and Services covered by this Purchase Order at any time during or after manufacture or fabrication thereof and at any place where such manufacture or fabrication is carried on.

Seller shall bear all risks after notice of rejection and shall be liable for all damages that are caused by such defective or non-conforming goods. LTI’s right to exercise any remedy shall not be waived or otherwise adversely affected by LTI’s unloading, accepting, making payment for or using non-conforming goods.

Time for calculation of LTI’s payment for the Goods and Services shall be computed from the date of LTI’s receipt of an acceptable invoice for same or LTI’s acceptance of the Goods or Services, whichever is later. Payment by LTI to Seller shall not constitute LTI’s acceptance of the Goods or Services. Seller's records shall be subject to audit by LTI, upon reasonable notice, at any time up to two years after payment of its final invoice; in the event of termination; other equitable adjustment; or with respect to any order for which the price is based on time and cost of materials.

The fees and expenses of LTI or its representatives performing an audit in accordance with this Section shall be borne by LTI.

Seller hereby further warrants, represents and covenants that the Goods and Services and all parts thereof and the operation thereof: shall (a) conform to the specifications, drawings, samples and descriptions attached hereto or referred to herein or in the Purchase Order, if any, or if the same are not provided, to LTI’s standard specifications; (b) conform to all applicable plans, drawings, samples or models furnished to and approved by LTI and conform to all of Seller's product literature and items referenced therein; (c) be in merchantable condition and free from all contaminants and defects in material, parts and workmanship and, to the extent not manufactured or provided according to detailed designs furnished by LTI to Seller, be free from all defects in design; (d) be fit for their intended purpose and for such particular uses specified by LTI or otherwise known by Seller; (e) be new and of established commercial operability and good quality; (f) not infringe any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right; and (g) comply with all safety, health and environmental laws and regulations applicable thereto. With respect to any Services provided hereunder, Seller warrants that such Services shall be performed in accordance with the highest standards, practices and codes of the industry applicable to such Services. Seller's warranties contained herein (and any consumer warranties, service policies or similar undertakings of Seller) shall be enforceable by LTI’s customers and any subsequent owner or user of the Goods or Services or products produced from or containing the Goods and/or Services as well as by LTI. Such warranties shall survive LTI’s inspection, testing, acceptance and payment for such Goods and Services. As to each of the Goods, each of the Seller’s warranties begins on the date of delivery to LTI and continues until the last to occur of the following: (a) the expiration of all warranties made by LTI to its customers concerning LTI’s product incorporating the Goods; or (b) the expiration of the longest period of time which LTI’s customer may be required, by contract or law, to repair or replace the Goods or LTI’s product incorporating the Goods, if the Goods are defective or nonconforming to any warranties.

Approval by LTI of Seller’s design, drawings, specifications, samples, etc. does not waive or limit any warranty.

Seller shall be liable for all damages, including all consequential, incidental, third party and special damages incurred by LTI as a result of Seller's failure to meet or otherwise comply with the warranties contained herein. Without limiting Seller's liability hereunder, if the Goods or Services are defective in any way or do not conform to such warranties or with the other provisions of these terms and conditions or the Purchase Order, LTI, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies it may have, may revoke its acceptance of or may reject any or all of the Goods and Services.

Seller shall obtain authorization from LTI before settlement is made of the claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, suit or action if, the terms of such settlement could materially affect LTI.

If Seller, by reason of a failure or delay excused under this paragraph, is unable to supply Goods or Services the same as or similar to the ones covered herein, in the quantities contracted for, Seller shall allocate its actual production among its internal needs and its customers in a fair and reasonable manner. If notwithstanding such efforts such failure or delay continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days, the other party may elect to terminate the Purchase Order.
