All sales made by ALM Technology Solutions Ltd. an Ontario corporation (“ALM”) to its customers (“Purchaser”) are subject to these terms and conditions. Purchaser’s acceptance of these terms and conditions shall be made by either (i) Purchaser providing a purchase order number to ALM or (ii) Purchaser’s acceptance of any Product from ALM, whichever occurs first. These terms and conditions shall apply to sales of all products and services by ALM (“Product”). The term “Special Order Product” as used herein shall mean products that have been configured to Purchaser’s specifications.

1. ORDERING

Prior to placing an order, Purchaser must be an active ALM client and Purchaser’s account must be current and in good standing. Purchaser must provide ALM with complete Product order information as required by ALM. The Product order information will include, without limitation, the (i) Product description, (ii) unit quantity, (iii) vendor part number or SKU, (iv) current unit price as provided by ALM, and (v) correct shipping address. ALM reserves the right to charge Purchaser for any and all costs directly attributable to Purchaser providing erroneous or incomplete order information and Purchaser agrees to pay all such costs as invoiced by ALM. Purchaser understands and agrees that they must provide ALM with names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers and other information (collectively, “Customer Information”) and ALM must record, use, disclose and store certain Customer Information regarding such sales to enable the processing, delivery and post-sales support of those orders. Purchaser understands and agrees that ALM is required to provide Customer Information or portions thereof to many of its suppliers. Purchaser may place orders over the telephone or via ALM-approved electronic ordering methods only through persons who identify themselves as Purchaser personnel prior to placing the order. ALM will have no obligation to confirm the validity of any order placed or the authority of the person placing an order in this manner. Purchaser bears all risk of unauthorized purchases by third parties using Purchaser’s account number. ALM’s acceptance of any order from Purchaser is limited to these terms and conditions in their entirety without addition, modification, or exception. Any additional or different terms in Purchaser’s purchase order or submitted by Purchaser in any form are hereby deemed to be material alterations hereto and notice of objection to them is hereby given. Orders for direct shipment to customers require a 75% deposit before order is placed. Additional fees may apply.

All Product pricing, description and availability information (“Information”) provided by ALM, in any form, is the property of ALM. Purchaser agrees to hold in confidence and not to directly or indirectly use, reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer to any other person or entity any of the Information or utilize the Information for any purpose except as permitted herein. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that ALM may send Purchaser marketing and business communications from time to time via various means, including e-mail. Purchaser represents and warrants that all third-party personal information collected by Purchaser and disclosed to ALM has been collected and disclosed in accordance with all applicable laws. Purchaser shall indemnify ALM against any third-party claims against ALM due to Purchaser’s failure to comply with such laws.

2. PRICE

All prices are subject to change without notice and will be established at time of order acceptance by ALM. Order acceptance and sale by ALM occurs at time of shipment. Prices for backordered Products are not guaranteed. Additional fees may apply in accordance with ALM’s policies in effect on the date of shipment.

3. SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY

Shipment will be made FCA origin (Incoterms 2010) to a location within Canada only, unless otherwise agreed to by both ALM and Purchaser. For Products owned by ALM, title and risk of loss will transfer to Purchaser upon ALM tendering the Product for delivery to the carrier. ALM will ship Products using ALM’s carrier of choice. Purchaser will be responsible for all freight charges related to any customer purchase order including subsequent backorders. Non-physical goods shipments such as software licenses (without media kits), and warranties will not be subject to the freight charge. Additional charges may apply for unusually heavy or large items and may be invoiced separately from the shipment. Shipment of materials designated as hazardous in accordance with Transport Canada and/or International Air Transportation regulations may also incur additional charges. If Purchaser requests special shipping or handling including without limitation, expedited shipment, third-party billing, or freight collect, Purchaser shall bear all risk of loss in transit and is responsible for filing claims with the carrier and all freight and handling costs. Additional fees and terms may also apply. Purchaser shall examine all Products upon receipt and shall notify ALM, as specified herein, of all discrepancies or if rejection is intended. Such notice shall be reasonably detailed and shall specify the discrepancy or reason for rejection. Failure to give such notice in accordance with these terms and conditions shall be deemed an acceptance of the Products as of the date of shipment.

4. PAYMENT TERMS

Purchaser agrees that ALM shall have the right to require that the applicable purchase price be paid prior to shipment. Purchaser shall promptly notify ALM of all changes to Purchaser’s name, address, or of the sale of substantially all of its assets. If Purchaser does not promptly notify ALM of any such change, ALM may, without notice, sell Product, or provide services to Purchaser. ALM will invoice Purchaser upon Product shipment and all invoices will be due and payable according to Purchaser’s current payment terms at the time of invoice. ALM reserves the right to apply payment to oldest outstanding invoice(s) if proper payment support is not received. Purchaser shall not deduct any amounts owing from any ALM invoice without ALM’s express written approval, which approval shall be contingent upon Purchaser providing all supporting documentation for such deduction as required by ALM. Any credit issued by ALM to Purchaser shall be valid for one (1) year from the date of issuance and the Purchaser waives any right to claim any amount owing pursuant to an expired credit. A service charge of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month (18% per annum) or the maximum amount allowed by law will be charged on all past due invoice amounts commencing on the date payment is due. No cash payments will be accepted. Payment by money orders will be allowed only if the money order is made out in the exact amount of the invoice; payment of one invoice through multiple money orders will not be permitted. ALM retains (and Purchaser grants to ALM by submitting a purchase order) a security interest in the Products to secure payment in full, and Purchaser agrees to execute any additional documents necessary to perfect such security interest. If Purchaser fails to make timely payment of any amount invoiced hereunder, ALM shall have the right, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to ALM at law or in equity, to immediately revoke any or all credit extended, to delay or cancel future deliveries, to accelerate the payment of all outstanding invoice amounts and/or to reduce or cancel any or all quantity discounts extended to Purchaser. Purchaser shall pay all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any obligation of ALM under these terms and conditions to deliver Products on credit terms shall terminate without notice if Purchaser files a voluntary petition under a bankruptcy statute, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if an involuntary petition under a bankruptcy statute is filed against Purchaser, or if a receiver or trustee is appointed to take possession of the assets of Purchaser.

5. TAXES

Purchaser shall bear all applicable federal, provincial, municipal, and other government taxes (such as sales, use, etc.). Unless otherwise specified, prices do not include such taxes. Exemption certificates, valid in the place of delivery, must be presented to ALM prior to shipment if they are to be honored.

6. RECYCLING FEES

Purchaser shall bear all applicable recycling fees including all electronic waste recycling fees to be remitted by ALM under any provincial electronic waste recycling program. Charges for such fees, if applicable, will either be listed on the Product invoice or in a separate invoice from ALM. If Purchaser desires to remit applicable electronic waste recycling fees directly to any provincial electronic waste recycling program on ALM’s behalf, Purchaser is responsible for providing ALM with confirmation of its registration status and, if applicable, entering into the online agreement with the provincial electronic waste recycling program and ALM prior to shipment.

7. WARRANTY

Product warranties, if any, are provided by the manufacturer or publisher of the Products. ALM MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHATSOEVER. ALL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO PURCHASER “AS IS”.

8. PRODUCT RETURNS

A. Requirements – Purchaser must obtain a valid Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number from ALM for all returns. RMAs will be issued, at ALM’s sole discretion, in accordance with these terms and conditions. Purchaser must provide all information as required by ALM for all returns. Unless otherwise informed by ALM, RMAs are valid for fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of issuance unless there are more restrictive manufacturer or publisher policies. Purchaser must allow for in-transit time for Products to be returned to ALM, as ALM must physically receive Products within the fourteen (14) calendar days. RMAs will be issued for authorized returns under one of the following categories: (i) defective Products, (ii) stock balancing, (iii) billing or shipping discrepancies, or (iv) damaged Product. Purchaser is responsible for ensuring that (i) the RMA number is clearly visible on the address label of the Product packaging when it is returned to ALM; and (ii) NO WRITING SHALL BE DIRECTLY ON A MANUFACTURER’S BOX. ALM will refuse delivery of any boxes without a valid, clearly visible RMA number as noted above. The term “Overgoods” as used herein shall mean unauthorized returns. Any Products received by ALM (i) without a valid RMA number, (ii) after being refused by Purchaser or Purchaser’s customer, excluding those damaged in transit from ALM to Purchaser or from ALM to Purchaser’s customer, (iii) after three (3) or more delivery attempts to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s customer, (iv) later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the RMA date, (v) in a condition unsuitable for resale (excluding defective Products), or (vi) Products found not defective subsequent to ALM testing will be considered Overgoods. ALM reserves the right to return Overgoods to Purchaser, and/or to charge Purchaser a $50.00 processing fee per shipment plus related freight charges. If Purchaser refuses the shipment of Overgoods from ALM or sends back the Overgoods to ALM a second time without ALM’s prior authorization, Purchaser agrees to relinquish all right and title to and waives all claims against ALM for credit related to such Products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, ALM reserves the right not to authorize the return of Special Order Products or Products that are no longer in production or are being produced or published by a manufacturer or publisher that (i) is insolvent, (ii) has declared bankruptcy, (iii) is no longer an active ALM client, or (iv) will not accept returns from ALM.

B. Defective Product Returns – Defective returns are only for Products purchased from ALM that are inoperable or do not function in accordance with the specifications published by the manufacturer or publisher and are covered under the manufacturer’s or publisher’s warranty. All defective returns are subject to more restrictive manufacturer or publisher policies which will supersede the ALM return policies stated here. Purchaser may request an RMA for the return of defective Products, excluding Special Order Products, within fifteen (15) calendar days of invoice date. Purchaser’s defective returns will be limited to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the value of Purchaser’s Product purchases during the ninety (90) calendar days prior to the RMA date, less any prior defective returns during that same period. Upon receipt of the defective Product for which the RMA was issued, ALM may test the Products and may return to Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, any Products found not to be defective. Upon verification that the returned Product is defective, ALM may, at ALM’s sole discretion, either (i) ship Purchaser a replacement Product, or (ii) provide Purchaser a credit equal to the lesser of the Product’s invoice price or current replacement value, less any applicable charges or fees. ALM reserves the right to require Purchaser to return defective Products directly to the manufacturer or publisher for replacement according to its defective Products return policy. ALM shall not be obligated to repair, replace, or issue credit to Purchaser for Products rendered defective, in whole or in part, by causes external to the Products, including, but not limited to, catastrophe, power failure or transients, over voltage on interface, environment extremes, improper use, maintenance or application of the Products or use of unauthorized parts. Purchaser shall bear all risks of loss when returning defective Products.

C. Stock Balance Returns – Stock balance returns are only for Products purchased from ALM that are unopened and unused and can be re-sold as new. All stock balance Products returned must be in the manufacturer’s original packaging and in condition suitable for resale including, but not limited to, without price tags or stickers or additional shrink wrapping, clean, undamaged and complete (“Stock Balance Condition”). All stock balance returns are subject to more restrictive manufacturer or publisher policies, which will supersede the ALM return policies stated here. Purchaser may request an RMA for the return of Products in Stock Balance Condition, except for Special Order Products, within thirty (30) calendar days of invoice date. Purchaser’s stock balance returns will be limited to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the value of Purchaser’s Product purchases during the ninety (90) calendar days prior to the RMA date, less any prior stock balance returns during that same period. Stock Balance returns that exceed the allowable limit will, at ALM’s discretion, either be returned to Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense or be charged a fifteen (15%) restocking fee. Upon receipt of the Product for which the RMA was issued, ALM will verify the condition of the Product. Any Products that are not in Stock Balance Condition will be considered Overgoods. ALM will return Overgoods to Purchaser and will charge Purchaser a $50 processing fee per shipment returned to Purchaser plus related freight charges. Additional fees may apply to returned Products; e.g., re-box, label removal, re-shrink, etc., that are not in Stock Balance Condition. Upon verification that the returned Product is in Stock Balance Condition, ALM will issue a credit to Purchaser equal to the lesser of the Product’s invoice price or current replacement value less any applicable charges or fees. If ALM elects to restore returned Product to Stock Balance Condition instead of returning it to Purchaser, the credit to Purchaser will be net of ALM’s costs to return the Product to Stock Balance Condition. Purchaser shall pay all costs, including all freight charges, and bear all risks of loss when returning Products to ALM.

D. Damaged Product Returns – Damaged Product returns are only for Products purchased from ALM and shipped via ALM’s carrier of choice and that are damaged in transit from ALM to the Purchaser or from ALM’s supplier to the Purchaser. If damaged Product is not refused by Purchaser, Purchaser shall document damage in writing on the carrier waybill or bill of lading and notify ALM and request an RMA within two (2) business days of receipt of such Product. Failure to notify ALM and request an RMA within such time shall be deemed an acceptance of the Product as of the date of shipment.

9. BILLING AND SHIPPING DISCREPANCIES

Billing and shipping discrepancies are for Products purchased from ALM that were invoiced or shipped incorrectly. These include lost shipments, short shipments, wrong sales, wrong shipments and pricing/invoice errors. Purchaser may request an RMA or credit memo, as applicable, for verified billing and shipping discrepancies within five (5) calendar days of invoice date. In addition, Purchaser must notify ALM of any billing discrepancies related to Purchaser’s authorized returns within fourteen (14) calendar days of RMA date. Such notice shall be reasonably detailed and shall specify the discrepancy. Failure to give such notice within the time specified herein shall be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s rights to claim such discrepancy.

10. PATENT AND TRADEMARK INDEMNITY

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDES FOR PASSTHROUGH BY ALM TO PURCHASER OF MANUFACTURERS’ PATENT, COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK INDEMNITY PROVISIONS, ALM SHALL HAVE NO DUTY TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, OR HOLD HARMLESS PURCHASER FROM AND AGAINST ANY OR ALL DAMAGES AND COSTS INCURRED BY PURCHASER ARISING FROM THE INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS OR TRADEMARKS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THAT PURCHASER REQUIRES ALM TO CONFIGURE PRODUCTS AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH SUCH CONFIGURATION SERVICES PROVIDES ALM OR DIRECTS ALM TO USE PURCHASER’S PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS OR THE PRODUCTS OF THIRD PARTIES, PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD ALM HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF PATENT, COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK, OR OTHER IP INFRINGEMENT ARISING FROM THE USE OF SUCH PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH CONFIGURATION SERVICES. ALM WILL BEAR NO LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR ANY THIRD PARTY RELATED TO ANY CLAIM BASED UPON THE COMPLIANCE BY ALM OR ALM’S SUPPLIER WITH DESIGNS, SPECIFICATIONS, OR INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY PURCHASER AND PURCHASER WILL INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND ALM AND ITS SUPPLIERS AGAINST ANY SUCH CLAIM.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

PURCHASER AGREES THAT THE LIABILITY OF ALM FOR DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE NET AMOUNT PAID TO ALM BY PURCHASER FOR THAT PRODUCT WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT WILL ALM BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFIT WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF GOOD WILL, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ALM’S BREACH OF, OR FAILURE TO PERFORM IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OR THE FURNISHING, INSTALLATION, SERVICING, USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR INFORMATION ALM MAY PROVIDE, EVEN IF NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN GIVEN AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES. PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR THOSE DAMAGES.

12. COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. EXPORT LAWS

Purchaser will not have, and will not represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind ALM, or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express, implied or by appearances, on behalf of ALM or in ALM’s name, except as herein expressly provided.
