  2. PLACING AND ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS. After receiving a quotation from Telit, Buyer may place an order for Telit products by delivering a purchase order to Telit. The manner of acceptance of purchase orders shall be solely by Telit’s express written acceptance to a specific purchase order (“Order Acceptance” ). Until such express acceptance was provided to the Buyer, Telit shall have no obligation to the Buyer. Once the Order Acceptance is received by Buyer, the Confirmed Purchase Order is binding. Telit’s acceptance of all orders and all offers and sales by Telit are subject to and expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s consent to these Terms. Any terms of Buyer’s purchase orders that are different from or in addition to those contained in these Terms, shall be of no effect unless included in a revised quotation by Telit. Commencement of performance or shipment shall not be construed as acceptance of any such different or additional terms. Without derogating from the generality of the aforesaid regarding the Confirmed Purchase Order, acceptance by Buyer of products furnished by Telit pursuant hereto shall be deemed ratification of this Agreement.
  3. ORDER CANCELLATION, AMENDMENT AND RESCHEDULING. Without derogating from any commitment made by Buyer to purchase a certain quantity of products within a certain amount of time, Buyer may request the amendment, rescheduling or cancellation of a Confirmed Purchase Order, upon written notice to Telit,  as follows: (1) if the scheduled delivery date confirmed by Telit is on a later date than the delivery date requested by the Buyer, Buyer may cancel, reschedule or  amend the purchase order within 5 (five) business days from receipt of the Order Acceptance; (2) 30 days prior to the scheduled delivery date, any delaying of the scheduled delivery date, amendment or cancellation of a Confirmed Purchase Order is not possible; 31 – 60 days prior to scheduled delivery date changes are allowed +/- 25%; 61-90 days prior to scheduled delivery date changes are allowed +/- 50%; more than 90 days prior to scheduled delivery date, full flexibility is granted, provided however, that (i) the applicable minimum order quantity (“MOQ”). As an example only, if the MOQ of a product is 720 units and the Confirmed Purchase Order includes 1440 units of said product, no change will be possible 31 -60 days before the delivery date, as such a change would amount to 50% of the order and not 25%;  (ii) Buyer shall be liable to pay for long lead time components (being components with a lead time of 120 days or more); (iii) Buyer may request to delay the delivery date of a Confirmed Purchase Order only once and (vi) Buyer may not cancel or amend last-time-buy Confirmed Purchase Order for Discontinued Products (as defined below) or for custom made Products, but may reschedule it. The limitations detailed above shall not apply to Buyer’s request to advance the scheduled delivery date. Any request for amendment, rescheduling (advancing or delaying the scheduled delivery date) or cancellation of a Confirmed Purchase Order are subject to Telit’s written confirmation of such requested rescheduling, amendment or cancellation, or of any part thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall be fully liable to pay for the full Purchase Order, at the predefined payment date, if the cancellation, amendment or rescheduling are contrary to these Terms. Telit may reschedule, amend or cancel a Confirmed Purchase Order it cannot supply accordingly, due to Force Majeure circumstances (as defined below), at its sole discretion, upon written notice to Buyer. 
  4. DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS. Delivery lead-times noted in the quotation are estimates. Approved Delivery times are as noted in Telit’s Order Acceptance.  Products shall be delivered EXW – INCOTERMS© 2010- Telit Hub or as otherwise specified by Telit in the Order Acceptance.  For Products stocked at Telit’s storage facility (“Telit Facility”) after Telit’s confirmed delivery date (CDD), Buyer will be charged with a storage fee of 0.5% of the value of the stocked Products, per each day of stocking (1) as of the 6th day of stocking at Telit’s Facility and applied retroactively from the first day of stocking; and (2) as of the 1st day of stocking for Products stocked elsewhere. The storage fee will be charged and invoiced independently of the invoice of the Products and its payment shall be a precondition for discharging of the Products from the storage facility (including Telit Facility). For the avoidance of doubt, risk of loss and/or damage to products shall pass to Buyer upon title to the products passing to Buyer.  In the event Buyer rejects or revokes acceptance of any products for any reason, all risk of loss and/or damage to such products shall nonetheless remain with Buyer unless and until the same are returned at Buyer’s expense to such place as Telit may designate in writing.   In addition to having a lien over products in respect of which full payment has not been made, Telit has the right to cease provision or not provide products and has the right to reclaim products already provided if amounts due by Buyer have not been paid by the payment due date.
  5. PRICES. All price quotes are indicative only and not legally binding. Quoted prices do not include transportation, insurance or any applicable sales, use, value-added, excise or other taxes, duties, fees or assessments imposed by any jurisdiction, all of which will be paid by Buyer.

  8. ACCEPTANCE. All products shall be deemed accepted by Buyer as conforming to this Agreement unless written notice of the claimed nonconformity is received by Telit within ten (10) days of delivery thereof.
