a. Transportation. All Goods/Services shall be packaged using best commercial practices to prevent damage and deterioration. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all expenses incurred due to improper packaging. Seller shall route shipments in accordance with Buyer’s instructions. Order number(s) must appear on all correspondence, shipping labels and documents, including packing slips, bills of lading, air bills, and invoices.

b. Risk of Loss. Shipment will be performed as required by the Agreement.

If the Agreement specifies an Incoterm as the applicable delivery term, risk of loss for the Goods/Services shall pass as defined by such Incoterm (as published by the International Chamber of Commerce).

c. Shipping Releases. All shipments and deliveries must be in accordance with the quantities and schedules stated in the Agreement. Time is of the essence in performance of the Agreement.

If Buyer elects to accept any delivery that does not conform to the schedule or quantity terms of the Agreement, Buyer may, in its sole discretion (i) charge Seller a handling fee and/or (ii) defer payment until scheduled delivery dates.

d. Delays. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any (i) known or anticipated delay or failure to meet any specifications of the Agreement or (ii) delays Seller believes to be caused by Buyer’s failure to meet any of its obligations under the Agreement. Such notice shall include a proposed revised schedule, but such notice and proposal or Buyer’s receipt thereof shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rights and remedies hereunder. If Seller is unable to deliver as scheduled, Buyer may require delivery by fastest transportation service and any transportation charges resulting therefrom shall be prepaid by Seller.

Buyer may reject and return any portion of any shipment of Goods/Services that may be defective or fail to comply with applicable specifications without invalidating the remainder of the order.

Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section shall be null and void. No assignment or delegation shall relieve Seller of any of its obligations hereunder.
