GENERAL TERMS FOR THE SALE OF GOODS
The goods and other items or services covered by these term and conditions shall be sold and invoiced at Datalogic's prices and charges in effect at the time of each shipment of goods. Datalogic reserves the right to change, without notice, the published list prices referenced on any purchase order or the face of this contract. Prices do not include sales, excise, use, or other taxes now in effect or hereafter levied by reason of this transaction. The Buyer shall pay all such taxes.
Datalogic may make delivery in installments and may render a separate invoice for each installment, which shall be paid when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Each installment shall be deemed a separate sale. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve the Buyer of its obligation to accept delivery of remaining installments. Any delivery not in dispute shall be paid for on its due date, as provided in this contract, without offset defense or counterclaim and regardless of controversies relating to other deliveries or undelivered products.
Shipment shall be Ex Works (EXW) place of shipment. Title to each shipment of the goods sold hereunder and risk of loss thereon shall pass to the Buyer when Datalogic or its agent delivers such shipment to a common carrier or licensed trucker consigned to the Buyer, or his agent, but such shipment shall remain subject to Datalogic's rights of stoppage in transit and of reclamation. If a strike, embargo, governmental action, or any other cause beyond Datalogic's control prevents shipment or delivery to Buyer or his agent, or if shipping instructions for any shipment are not received before shipment date, or if payment is to be made on or before delivery, title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer as soon as the shipment has been set aside by Datalogic and invoiced to Buyer (subject to Datalogic's rights as an unpaid Datalogic) and payment shall be made in accordance with invoice as though the goods had been shipped and accepted by Buyer and Datalogic shall be under no duty to carry insurance thereafter.
Buyer acknowledges that certain goods provided by Datalogic may be supplied on a consignment basis. In the event any goods are designated on the face of this form as consigned goods, then Buyer agrees to execute all documents provided by Datalogic necessary to effectuate the consignor-consignee relationship and, in addition to any terms and conditions of consignment, specifically agrees that Datalogic shall retain title to all consigned goods until such time as Buyer sells such goods to its Buyers, at which time title shall pass directly from Datalogic to the respective Buyers. Buyer shall keep a current and accurate inventory and record of all consigned goods and shall permit Datalogic or Datalogic's representative to inspect said records and said goods at any reasonable time upon demand.
Datalogic will use every reasonable effort to effect shipment on or before the date indicated. Datalogic shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any delay or failure in performance or delivery or inability to perform or delivery where such delay, failure, or inability arises or results from any cause beyond Datalogic's control or beyond the control of Datalogic's suppliers or contractors, including, but not limited to, strike, boycott, or other labor disputes, embargo, governmental regulation, inability or delay in obtaining materials. In no event shall Datalogic, in the event of delays, or otherwise, be liable to the Buyer or any third parties for any consequential, special, or contingent damages. In the event of any such delay or failure in performance, Datalogic shall have such additional time within which to perform its obligations hereunder as may reasonably be necessary under the circumstances; and Datalogic shall also have the right, to the extent necessary in Datalogic's reasonable judgment, to apportion fairly among its various Buyers in such manner as Datalogic may consider equitable, the goods then available for delivery. If, as a result of any such contingency, Datalogic is unable to perform this contract in whole or in part, then to the extent that it is unable to perform, the contract shall be deemed terminated without liability to either party but shall remain in effect as to the unaffected portion of the contract, if any.

No affirmation of fact or promise made by Datalogic, whether in this contract or communicated otherwise, shall constitute a warranty that the goods will conform to the affirmation or promise.
11. Warranty Claim Process
In order to obtain service under this Warranty, Buyer must notify Datalogic (which notice shall be in writing sent by registered courier or mail) of the claimed defect before the expiration of the Warranty period and obtain from Datalogic a return authorization number for return of the product to designated Datalogic service center.

If Datalogic determines Buyer’s claim is valid, Datalogic will repair or replace product without additional charge for parts and labor.

For products no longer covered by warranty services, Datalogic may offer billable repair services on products, provided such products are serviceable.

Datalogic is responsible for financing the end of life waste management costs of the items listed on this document marked "WEEE - Datalogic Responsible."

Full return instructions and details of the Datalogic terms and conditions for the return of EEE products no longer in use can be obtained from the Datalogic website www.datalogic.com.
20. Handling of Confidential Information
Buyer shall refrain from reproducing all or portions of the samples and goods it has purchased or seen, and from transmitting data to third parties permitting the total or partial reproduction of these samples or goods.
Buyer shall not disclose any confidential information obtained from Datalogic, regarding Datalogic or Datalogic's goods or business. Should the Buyer disclose any such information, Datalogic shall be entitled to terminate immediately the relevant contract and to obtain a sum equal to the value of Buyer's total purchases from the preceding year.
All drawings, designs, patterns, documents, elements, models, software samples, technical information, advertising materials, and similar items given to the Buyer remain Datalogic's property and must be destroyed or returned on request. Buyer undertakes not to copy, reproduce, disclose to third parties by any means the foregoing materials and shall make its best efforts to keep them strictly confidential.

21. Governing Law
These General Terms for the Sale of Goods shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Oregon law. Unless Parties expressly agree in writing upon an arbitration clause, Parties agree to submit all disputes arising out of or in connection with the contracts herein to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent Court of the place where Datalogic has its registered office.

22. Indemnification
If an infringement claim is made against the Buyer alleging that a product furnished under these General Terms for the Sale of Goods infringes a patent or copyright of the United States, Datalogic may, at its option and expense, (1) replace or modify the product so that it becomes noninfringing; or (2) procure for Buyer the right to continue using the product; or (3) require the return of the product and refund to Buyer the including price paid less a reasonable allowance for use.
Buyer must: (1) notify Datalogic promptly in writing of the action and (2) provide Datalogic all reasonable information and assistance to settle or defend the action. If Buyer furnishes specifications to Datalogic, Buyer agrees to hold Datalogic harmless against any claim that arises out of compliance with the specifications. Any description of the goods contained in this contract is for the sole purpose of identifying the goods, is not part of the basis of the bargain, and does not constitute a warranty that the goods shall conform to that description. Any sample or model used in connection with this contract is for illustrative purposes only, is not part of the basis of the bargain, and is not to be construed as a warranty that the goods will conform to the sample or model.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Datalogic harmless from any claim, loss, damage, suit, liability, fees or expenses (reasonable attorney's fees) which may be suffered by Datalogic on account of: (1) the use of components or goods not supplied by Datalogic; (2) the modified goods which become infringing as a consequence of the modification; (3) the use of the goods in infringing combinations or systems or apparatuses; (4) the use of the goods in infringing processes; and (5) the use of the goods in association with third parties trademarks or distinctive signs.
