The entire agreement between Hargray Communications Group, Inc. (“HARGRAY“), and the party identified on the first page of the Purchase Order (“Vendor“) consists of: (i) all information contained in the Purchase Order document; (ii) these Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (“Terms“), and (iii) any other special instructions printed on this document or conveyed by HARGRAY to Vendor (“Instructions“), and together with the Purchase Order and these Terms ( “Agreement“). Vendor shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms upon acknowledgment of the Purchase Order, commencement of work under the Purchase Order or shipment of any goods. No additional terms or conditions shall be binding upon HARGRAY, unless agreed to in writing by HARGRAY. HARGRAY’s failure to object to any provision contained in any communication from Vendor shall not be deemed an acceptance of such provision or a waiver of any provision of the Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions on the Purchase Order and these Terms, the Purchase Order shall prevail.

DELIVERY, DELAYS, QUANTITIES; TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: All deliveries shall be made in strict accordance with the delivery schedule stated in the Purchase Order. All shipments shall be made to the delivery point stated in the Purchase Order. No variation in the quantities stated in the Purchase Order will be accepted. No substitution of goods may be made, unless agreed to in writing by HARGRAY. If Vendor is unable to comply with the delivery schedule, delivery point, or type or quantities of goods stated in the Purchase Order, HARGRAY may, in its sole and absolution discretion, without liability to Vendor, and without waiving any of its rights: (i) agree in writing to a revised delivery schedule, delivery point, or type or quantity of goods; (ii) require Vendor, at Vendor’s expense, to deliver the goods to an alternate delivery point and/or at an alternate delivery time; and/or (iii) return any goods shipped to HARGRAY in variation of the delivery point, delivery schedule, or type or quantity ordered to Vendor, at Vendor’s expense.

PACKAGING, TRANSPORTATION, TITLE, AND RISK OF LOSS: Vendor shall be responsible for proper packaging of all goods to prevent damage during transportation, for securing the lowest transportation rates, and for complying with carrier tariffs. HARGRAY’s weight and/or count will be accepted as final and conclusive for all shipments not accompanied by a packing list. Transportation and insurance charges for all goods shall be paid by Vendor unless otherwise stated in this Purchase Order. All goods shall be delivered F.O.B. destination point. Title and risk of loss for all goods shall remain with Vendor until received by HARGRAY at the designated delivery point. Vendor shall be responsible for the settlement of all claims with the carrier and is responsible for full replacement of lost or damaged goods.

CHANGES: HARGRAY may at any time issue a written order to change the Purchase Order, instructions, delivery schedule, delivery point, quantity of goods, methods of shipment or packaging, or any other matters within the general scope of the Agreement (“Change Orders“). Vendor agrees to strictly comply with such Change Orders. If any Change Order results in an increase in Vendor’s expense or in the time for performance, an equitable adjustment may be requested by Vendor. Any request for an equitable adjustment must be asserted within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Change Order. Failure of Vendor to request an equitable adjustment shall operate as a waiver thereof. No request for an equitable adjustment shall be binding upon HARGRAY, unless agreed to in writing by HARGRAY. Nothing in this Section shall relieve Vendor from proceeding without delay in the performance of the Purchase Order as changed.

PRICES, PAYMENT TERMS: Purchase Order prices are firm and include all applicable taxes, freight, packaging, insurance, shipping, handling, and other charges. No charges of any kind shall be binding upon HARGRAY, unless stated in the Purchase Order or agreed to in writing by HARGRAY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HARGRAY shall receive the benefit of any price reductions in effect prior to shipment. Vendor represents and warrants that the Purchase Order prices do not and will not exceed Vendor’s lowest prevailing prices for the same, or substantially similar, goods and/or services. Invoices shall be dated no earlier than the date of shipment or delivery of service. HARGRAY shall have the right to pay in accordance with Vendor’s discount terms. The discount period begins upon receipt of invoice, designated delivery date, or the date any discrepancy is resolved, whichever is later. If no discount is offered, HARGRAY shall pay undisputed invoices within thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which the goods or services were received and accepted by HARGRAY. No interest charges, penalties, or losses of discount on overdue accounts shall be due or payable, unless agreed to in writing by HARGRAY. HARGRAY may set off any amounts due to Vendor and/or withhold payments from Vendor for any dispute under the Agreement.

These warranties shall: (i) not constitute a waiver of any other rights of HARGRAY, express or implied; (ii) run to HARGRAY and its affiliates, successors, assigns, customers, and end-users of its products; (iii) survive inspection, acceptance, payment, and termination; and (iv) not be deemed exclusive. If any defect appears in the goods or any part thereof within 36 months after the date of manufacture, such defective goods may be returned to Vendor, at Vendor’s expense, and Vendor shall, in HARGRAY’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) repair or replace the defective goods, at Vendor’s expense; or (ii) provide HARGRAY with a credit for the goods at the Purchase Order price. These warranties shall also apply to all repaired and replaced goods for 12 months after the date of such repair or replacement.

INSPECTION AND REJECTION: Progress Inspections. When applicable, HARGRAY reserves the right to inspect any work in progress under the Purchase Order and to subject any work in progress under the Purchase Order to its quality assurance procedures and/or tests. No work-in-progress inspection shall relieve Vendor from any responsibilities or liabilities or imply acceptance or approval by HARGRAY. HARGRAY may reject any part of the work in progress that does not conform with the Purchase Order.

Inspection Upon Delivery. All delivered goods shall be subject to HARGRAY’s inspection and rejection. Inspection of and/or payment for goods shall not constitute acceptance thereof. Following inspection, HARGRAY shall have the right, without waiving any other rights HARGRAY may have, to reject all or any part of the goods that HARGRAY believes are damaged, defective, or non-conforming. Vendor shall bear the cost of inspection for rejected goods. HARGRAY may, at Vendor’s expense and risk, return rejected goods to Vendor or hold the rejected goods pending Vendor’s instructions.

Except as required to perform its obligations under the Agreement, Vendor represents and warrants that Vendor shall hold in strict confidence and shall not use, disclose (or allow or assist others to use or disclose), or misappropriate any of HARGRAY’s intellectual or proprietary rights, information relating to HARGRAY’s business, products, services, or operations, or any other information relating to HARGRAY that comes into the possession or knowledge of Vendor during the negotiation or performance of the Agreement, whether or not such information is oral or written, and whether or not labeled as confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information“). Vendor acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information, in whatever format and however stored, and all existing and future intellectual and proprietary rights therein, shall remain the property of HARGRAY. In addition, Vendor shall not publicly announce or disclose Confidential Information. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that Vendor’s breach of this Section would cause HARGRAY irreparable harm, which could not be adequately compensated for by damages, and, accordingly, HARGRAY shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief as an additional remedy in the event of any breach of this Section.
