1. Except as otherwise set forth on the front of this documents. Terms of payment are from invoice date. Title shall pass to Customer upon delivery to the carrier. Freight is prepaid and added. Risk of Loss transfers upon Delivery. Prices are for product and product services only and may exclude any taxes, freight, handling, duty or other similar charges. Customer is responsible for any additional fees. Prices are conditioned upon timely payment and any past due balance will accrue interest at the monthly rate of one and one-half percent. Freight charges may be constructed on the basis of standard carrier tariffs and may not reflect actual transportation costs. Knowell Tech reserves the right to modify terms prior to shipment, require payment in advance, or delay or cancel any shipment or order by reason of customer’s creditworthiness or should customer fail to fulfill any obligation when due.
2. In the absence of prior agreement as to shipping, Knowell Tech may select a carrier. Technologent’s responsibility for any loss or damage ends when products are delivered to the customer, or to customer’s agent (including, without limitation, any test house or value-added service provider), whichever occurs first. Customer will pay for storage charges if products are held by Knowell Tech at customer’s request pending instructions or rescheduled delivery.
3. Knowell Tech warrants those products assembled or customized by it against defects caused solely by faulty assembly or customization for 90 days after delivery. All other products, and the components and materials utilized in any assembled or customized products, are covered by, and subject to, the terms, conditions, and limitations of the manufacturer’s standard warranty, which warranty is expressly in lieu of any other warranty, express or implied, of or by Knowell Tech or the manufacturer. Customer agrees that it shall obtain all product, maintenance, and warranty support for the products directly from the manufacturer. Customer’s exclusive remedy, if any, under these warranties is limited, at Technologent’s election, to any one of (a) refund of customer’s purchase price, (b) repair by Knowell Tech or the manufacturer of any products found to be defective, or (c) replacement of any such product by the manufacturer. Customer acknowledges that except as specifically set forth or referenced in this paragraph, THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN ADVERTISING MATERIALS, BROCHURES, OR OTHER DESCRIPTIVE LITERATURE) BY Knowell Tech OR ANY OTHER PERSON, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS, THEIR MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE. Knowell Tech ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR MANUFACTURER’S PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS OR THE PERFORMANCE OR ADEQUACY OF ANY DESIGN OR SPECIFICATION PROVIDED TO Knowell Tech BY OR ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER. Use of the customer’s part number on this document or on any products is for convenience only and does not constitute any representation by Knowell Tech with respect to the performance, specifications, or fitness of any part for any purpose.
4. Upon any breach by customer of these terms and conditions, Knowell Tech will have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, which rights and remedies will be cumulative and not exclusive including but not limited to assessing up to 1.5% monthly interest on overdue invoices and terminating Customer access to any cloud, hardware, software or services that Customer has not paid for. Customer is responsible for and will hold harmless and indemnify Knowell Tech from and against all costs and expenses incurred by Knowell Tech in collecting any sums owed by customer (which may include, but are not limited to, collection agency and reasonable attorneys’ fees). If Knowell Tech incurs costs collecting on any judgment arising out of customer’s breach, customer will be responsible for them, and this provision will survive the entry of any such judgment. Knowell Tech shall have the right to offset any sum owed by Knowell Tech or any Knowell Tech subsidiary to Customer against any sum owed by Customer to Knowell Tech or any Knowell Tech subsidiary. All transactions are governed by the laws of the State of California. The parties waive any right to trial by jury.

No returns may be made for any reason without a Return Material Authorization issued by Knowell Tech. In the event of a return, product returns may be subject to vendor/manufacturer restocking fee. If customer refuses to accept tender or delivery of any products or returns any products without authorization from Knowell Tech, such products will be held by Knowell Tech awaiting customer’s instruction for 20 days, after which Knowell Tech may deem the products abandoned and dispose of them as it sees fit, without crediting customer’s account.
6. Knowell Tech will not be liable for any failure or delay in its performance or in the delivery or shipment of products, or for any damages suffered by customer by reason of such failure or delay, when such failure or delay is caused by, or arises in connection with any fire, flood, accident, riot, earthquake, pandemic, severe weather, war, governmental interference or embargo, strike, shortage of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies, delay in delivery by Technologent’s suppliers or any other cause or causes beyond Technologent’s reasonable control. Knowell Tech reserves the right to cancel without liability any order, the shipment of which is or may be delayed for more than 30 days by reason of any such cause. Knowell Tech reserves the right to allocate in its sole discretion among customers or potential customers, or defer or delay the shipment of, any product which is in short supply.
7. All quotations and sales are made only upon these terms and conditions and those on the front of this document. Unless there is an existing purchase/service agreement, this document, and not any purchase order or other customer document (which, if construed to be an offer is hereby rejected), will be deemed an offer or counter-offer and is a rejection of any other terms or conditions. Customer, by accepting any products/services, making any payments or ordering any products/services having previously received these terms and conditions, will be deemed to have assented to these terms and conditions, notwithstanding any terms contained in any prior or later communication from customer and whether or not Knowell Tech will specifically or expressly object to any of customer’s terms. Technologent’s failure to object to any document, communication or act of customer will not be deemed a waiver of any of these terms and conditions.

In no event will United States Government Cost Account Standards apply.

12. Except for the warranty coverage referenced in paragraph 3 above, NEITHER Knowell Tech NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY THE INADEQUACY OF ANY PRODUCTS FOR ANY PURPOSE, BY ANY DEFICIENCY OR DEFECT IN ANY PRODUCT (WHETHER OR NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY), BY THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY PRODUCTS OR BY ANY FAILURE OR DELAY IN TECHNOLOGENT’S PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, VIOLATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFIT, WHETHER OR NOT CUSTOMER WILL HAVE INFORMED Knowell Tech OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES.
13. The performance of any value-added service may void the manufacturer’s warranty and render products non-returnable. Orders incorporating such services are, accordingly, non-cancelable and the products are non-returnable. Any third party value-added service provider is deemed to be an agent of customer.
14. Any software included in or relating to products is supplied by the manufacturer. Knowell Tech makes no representation or warranty with respect thereto and will have no liability in connection therewith Customer agrees to comply with the manufacturer’s or other requirements with regard to proprietary and similar rights in and to such software (including any requirement to enter into a separate license agreement and prohibitions against duplicating or disclosing the same), even if the seal on any “shrink wrapped” software has been broken by Knowell Tech, and will indemnify Knowell Tech against and hold it harmless from any and all liability, cost or expense arising from a breach or purported breach of such requirements or any claims of IP infringement.
15. Knowell Tech may assign accounts receivable to any entity. In order to defray the cost of customer account administration any credit balance or other sum owed to customer which remains unclaimed by customer for a period of twelve months will become the property of Knowell Tech. No refunds will be paid to any customer which has a balance greater than the credit.
16. No order may be canceled, rescheduled or reconfigured without Technologent’s prior written authorization and, in such event, customer will be liable to Knowell Tech for any additional costs and expenses incurred by Knowell Tech.
