Payment for Product is due within ninety (90) days from the date of Seller’s invoice, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller in writing. Buyer’s credit will be established after Seller receives a Purchase Order from Buyer, and Seller, in its sole discretion, may alter the foregoing payment deadline if other than open credit is extended to Buyer. In the event that any invoice is not paid within the aforementioned period, Seller reserves the right to (i) charge interest on the outstanding amount from the due date at a rate 2% above the prevailing loan interest rate for the same period as announced by the People’s Bank of China, accruing on a daily basis until Buyer makes payment in full, and/or (ii) put Buyer on credit hold. Payment is to be made by the method(s) detailed on the invoice.
Prices are subject to change without notice, in Seller’s sole discretion, at any time prior to the date of Product delivery, unless a Quotation has been previously provided to Buyer and remains in effect. Unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller in writing, prices are Ex Works Seller’s facility in Kunshan, People’s Republic of China and exclusive of all taxes (including but not limited to Value-Added Taxes), insurance, license fees, customs fees, duties, transportation charges and all other charges; all of which shall be paid by Buyer, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless therefrom.
