INVOICE:
All orders are subject to acceptance by Besatechnologies. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Besatechnologies’s written consent. Besatechnologies may designate certain orders as non-cancelable, non-refundable (“NCNR”), which when so designated on the front page of the Invoice the NCNR shall prevail and supersede any inconsistent terms and conditions contained herein or elsewhere.
PRICES:
Besatechnologies quoted prices are valid and are those specified on the front page of the Invoice. Prices quoted are for products only and do not include any transportation and insurance costs, handling, duties and any and all taxes, charges and levies imposed by any government and/or non-government agency. Besatechnologies reserves the right to modify payment 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 therein.
PAYMENT:
Payment of the Invoice shall be paid in full, without offset or deduction. In the event Customer has been extended payment terms and payment is not received within the stipulated delay, Customer shall pay to Besatechnologies interest calculated at a rate of 1.5% per month on the balance owing from the due date and any and all attorney fees and collection costs.
DELIVERY AND TITLE:
Delivery terms are FOB (Free on Board) from Besatechnologies shipping point or EXW (EX Works as defined in Incoterms 2011) from Besatechnologies facility and Customer is responsible for all charges.

Customer is responsible for all shipping, handling, delivery, insurance and any and all applicable charges. Selection of the carrier and delivery route shall be made by Besatechnologies unless specified by Customer. Customer acknowledges delivery dates are estimates only and Besatechnologies is not liable for delays in delivery. Besatechnologies reserves the right to make partial shipments and Customer will accept delivery and pay for the products delivered. A delayed delivery of any part of an order does not entitle Customer to cancel other deliveries.
Furthermore, Besatechnologies 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, severe weather, war, acts of terrorism, governmental interference or embargo, strike, shortage of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies, delay in delivery by Besatechnologies’s suppliers or any other cause or causes beyond Besatechnologies’s reasonable control. Besatechnologies 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. Besatechnologies reserves the right to allocate in its sole discretion among other customers or potential customers, or defer or delay the shipment of, any product which is in short supply.
ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT RETURNS:
Customer must notify Besatechnologies in writing of any damage, shortage, or other discrepancy to product within 10 days after delivery. After the 10th day Customer is deemed to have accepted the product and may not revoke acceptance. Customer cannot return product without a Return Material Authorization ("RMA") number - please see ‘Besatechnologies Product Return Policy” for details. It is a strict requirement for the issuance of an RMA that the Customer provide a detailed written failure analysis report. Besatechnologies may at its sole discretion refuse to issue an RMA for return of the goods or require that Customer pay to Besatechnologies a restocking fee, which said restocking fee will be 20% of the Invoice Price.
In addition and at Besatechnologies’s discretion, Besatechnologies will return all product(s) not eligible for return to Customer freight collect, or hold product for Customer’s account at Customer’s expense.
In the event Customer refuses to accept tender or delivery of any product or returns a product without authorization from Besatechnologies, such product will be held by Besatechnologies awaiting Customer’s instructions for 20 days, after which Besatechnologies may deem the product abandoned and dispose of them as it sees fit, without crediting Customer’s account.
