Sections —
1. Applicability : When SOCIAL GLASS, INC. issues a purchase order, it is an offer by SOCIAL GLASS, INC. for the purchase of the goods, materials and/or equipment (the "Goods"), and/or services, maintenance and/or repairs (the “Services”) specified on the face of the purchase order from the party to whom the purchase order is addressed (the "Vendor") in accordance with and subject to these terms and conditions (the "Terms"); together with the terms and conditions on the face of the purchase order, (the "Order"). Where applicable the term “Goods” shall be interpreted to also include “Services”. This Order, together with any documents incorporated herein by reference, and any related confidentiality agreement executed by the parties, constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Order, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter of the Order. The Order expressly limits Vendor's acceptance to the terms of the Order. These Terms prevail over any terms or conditions contained in any other documentation and expressly exclude any of Vendor's general terms and conditions of sale or any other document issued by Vendor in connection with an specific Order. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a master agreement covering procurement described in the Order exists between Vendor and SOCIAL GLASS, INC., the terms of such master agreement shall prevail over any inconsistent terms herein. These Terms apply to any repaired or replacement Goods provided by Vendor hereunder. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. is not obligated to any minimum purchase or future purchase obligations under an Order, unless agreed to in writing by SOCIAL GLASS, INC.
2. Acceptance : An Order is not binding on SOCIAL GLASS, INC. until Vendor accepts the Order in writing or starts to perform in accordance with the Order. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. may withdraw the Order at any time without liability: (a) before it is accepted by Vendor.
3. Delivery Date : Vendor must deliver the Goods in the quantities and on the date(s) specified in an Order or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties (the "Delivery Date"). Timely delivery of the Goods is of the essence. If Vendor fails to deliver the Goods in full on the Delivery Date, SOCIAL GLASS, INC. may terminate the Order immediately by providing written notice to Vendor and Vendor shall indemnify SOCIAL GLASS, INC. against any losses, claims, damages, and reasonable costs and expenses directly attributable to Vendor's failure to deliver the Goods on the Delivery Date. Vendor will immediately notify SOCIAL GLASS, INC. if Vendor’s timely performance under the Order is delayed or is likely to be delayed. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. acceptance of Vendor’s notice will not constitute a waiver of any of Vendor’s obligations. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. has the right to return any Goods delivered prior to the Delivery Date at Vendor's expense and Vendor shall redeliver such Goods on the Delivery Date.
4. Quantity : If Vendor delivers more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, SOCIAL GLASS, INC. may reject all or any excess Goods. Any such rejected Goods shall be returned to Vendor at Vendor's risk and expense. If SOCIAL GLASS, INC. does not reject the Goods and instead accepts the delivery of Goods at the increased or reduced quantity, the Price for the Goods shall be adjusted on a pro-rata basis.
5. Delivery Location : All Goods shall be delivered to the address(s) specified in an Order (the "Delivery Location") during SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s customer’s normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by SOCIAL GLASS, INC.

8. Packaging : All Goods shall be packed for shipment according to SOCIAL GLASS, INC.'s instructions or, if there are no instructions, in a manner sufficient to ensure that the Goods are delivered in undamaged condition. Vendors must provide SOCIAL GLASS, INC. prior written notice if it requires SOCIAL GLASS, INC. to return any packaging material. Any return of such packaging material shall be made at Vendor's expense.

10. Inspection and Rejection : SOCIAL GLASS, INC. has the right to inspect Goods on or after the Delivery Date. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. in its sole discretion and at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods if it determines the Goods are nonconforming or defective or fail in any respect to conform to specifications, the terms and conditions of the Order, any Statement of Work (“SOW”) or similar document as mutually agreed between the parties, or applicable industry standards, or if the Goods are otherwise deficient in SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s sole discretion. If SOCIAL GLASS, INC. rejects any portion of Goods, SOCIAL GLASS, INC. has the right, effective upon written notice to Vendor and in addition to any rights and remedies under applicable law, to: (i) rescind the Order in its entirety and receive a full credit or refund, at SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s discretion, of the applicable purchase price; (ii) accept the Goods at a reasonably reduced price; (iii) reject the Goods and require replacement/correction of the rejected Goods; or (iv) replace such defective/non-conforming Goods with similar items and recover the total cost thereof from the Vendor.

If Vendor fails to timely deliver replacement/corrected Goods, SOCIAL GLASS, INC. may replace or correct them with goods or services from a third party, and charge Vendor the total cost thereof, and terminate the Order. SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s expenses for inspection of the Goods found to be nonconforming or deficient shall be charged to Vendor or deducted from amounts due Vendor. SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s failure to detect nonconformities or deficiencies in the Goods shall not affect SOCIAL GLASS, INC.’s remedies as to such nonconformities and/or deficiencies. Any inspection or other action by SOCIAL GLASS, INC. under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Vendor's obligations under an Order, and SOCIAL GLASS, INC. shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Vendor has carried out its remedial actions. SOCIAL GLASS, INC. will have the right, but not the obligation to examine Vendor’s records for the purpose of determining compliance with the Order. Should a compliance review be performed, SOCIAL GLASS, INC. or its duly designated representatives will provide reasonable notice to Vendor and the records may be examined only during the normal business hours.

Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Price includes all packaging, transportation costs to the Delivery Location, insurance, customs duties and fees and applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, use or excise taxes. No increase in the Price is effective, whether due to increased material, labor or transportation costs or otherwise, without ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to SOCIAL GLASS, INC. and the written consent of SOCIAL GLASS, INC.
12. Payment Terms : Vendor shall issue an invoice to SOCIAL GLASS, INC. on or any time after the completion of delivery and only in accordance with the Terms.
