TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
HD Electric Company is herein referred to either as “HDE” or “Seller” and the customer or person or entity purchasing goods or services (here-
inafter collectively referred to as “Goods”) is referred to as the “Buyer”. These Terms and Conditions, any price list or schedule, quotation, ac-
knowledgment or invoice from HDE relevant to the sale of the Goods and all documents incorporated by specific reference therein, constitute
the complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement governing the sale of Goods by HDE to Buyer. Buyer’s acceptance of the
Goods will manifest Buyer’s assent to these terms and conditions without variation or addition. Any different or additional terms in Buyer’s pur-
chase order or other Buyer documents are hereby objected to. HDE reserves the right in its sole discretion to refuse orders.

Unless a fixed price is quoted, the price at which this order is accepted is subject to adjustment to HDE’s price in
effect at the time of order. Any current or future tax or governmental charge (or increase in same) affecting Seller’s costs or production, sale or
delivery or which Seller is otherwise required to pay or collect in connection with the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use or con-
sumption of Goods (but excluding any tax on Seller’s net income or profit) shall be for Buyer’s account and shall be added to the price.
2. TERMS OF PAYMENT:
Terms are stated on HDE’s invoice in U.S. currency. HDE shall have the right, among other remedies, either to ter-
minate this agreement or to suspend further performance under this and/or other agreements with the Buyer in the event Buyer fails to make
any payment when due, which other agreements Buyer and Seller hereby amend accordingly, or HDE otherwise deems itself insecure. Buyer
shall be liable for all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, relating to the collection of past due amounts. Should Buyer’s financial responsibility
become unsatisfactory to HDE, cash payments or security satisfactory to HDE may be required by HDE for future deliveries and for the goods
theretofore delivered. If such cash payment or security is not provided, in addition to HDE’s other rights and remedies, HDE may discontinue

suffered in transit are the responsibility of Buyer and shall be submitted by the Buyer directly to the carrier. Shortages or damages must be ac-
knowledged and signed for at the time of delivery. While HDE will use all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the delivery date(s) ac-
knowledged or quoted by HDE, all shipping dates are approximate and not guaranteed. HDE reserves the right to make partial shipments.
HDE, at its option, shall not be bound to tender delivery of any Goods for which Buyer has not provided shipping instructions. If the shipment
of the Goods is postponed or delayed by Buyer for any reason, Buyer agrees to reimburse HDE for any and all handling and storage costs and
other additional expenses resulting therefrom. All claims for shipping errors, lost shipments or any other discrepancies must be made within
ninety (90) days or they will be disallowed and deemed waived.
4. HDE LIMITED WARRANTY:
HDE covers its products with a manufacturer’s warranty against defects in material or workmanship for a
period of ten years in the case of Capacitor Controls and in all other circumstances for a period of one year, unless otherwise stated by HDE
in writing. To take advantage of this warranty, the complete product must be delivered prepaid to HDE or any HDE Authorized Service Center.
This warranty shall not apply to any Goods including but not limited to products which: (a) Have been repaired or altered outside HDE’s factory
(or Authorized Service Center) or in any manner so as, in HDE’s judgment, to affect its serviceability or proper operation; (b) Have been
subjected by persons other than HDE (or Authorized Service Center) to improper handling, operation, maintenance, repair or alteration; and,
(c) Have been subjected to normal wear and tear, misuse, negligence, improper installation or accident. HDE’s obligation under this warranty,
and the Buyer’s exclusive remedy for the breach thereof, shall be limited to, at HDE’s option, repair or replacement of any allegedly defective
Goods or issuance of credit. HDE requires the return of any allegedly defective Goods, transportation prepaid, before honoring any claim. All
returned Goods are subject to inspection, and if examination does not disclose any defect covered by this warranty, replacement of such Goods
or issuance of credit for same will not be approved.
THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES HDE’S SOLE WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY AND BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WHETHER
SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE. No employee, agent, dealer, or other person is authorized to give any warranty on behalf of
HDE. This warranty extends only to persons or organizations who purchase the Goods from HDE for resale.
5. LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND LIABILITY: THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY HEREUNDER
SHALL BE LIMITED TO REPAIR, CORRECTION, REPLACEMENT OR CREDIT UNDER SECTION 4. HDE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES CAUSED BY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE, AND IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE
OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE),
SHALL HDE’S LIABILITY TO BUYER AND/OR ITS CUSTOMERS EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER FOR THE SPECIFIC GOODS
GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, AND BUYER SHALL INDEMNIFY HDE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS
THEREOF. BUYER AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL HDE’S LIABILITY TO BUYER AND/OR ITS CUSTOMERS INCLUDE SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, RE-
SALE OR USE OF THE GOODS, WHICH ARE WAIVED BY BUYER AND AS TO WHICH BUYER SHALL INDEMNIFY HDE.
The term
“consequential damages” shall include, but not be limited to, loss of anticipated profits, business interruption, loss of use of revenue, cost of
capital or loss of or damage to property, equipment, or data, or loss of reputation. Further, Buyer shall indemnify and hold HDE harmless from
any liability to Buyer, Buyer’s employees, workers, contractors or any other persons arising out of Buyer’s, and any other persons’, use of the
Goods. All instructions and warnings supplied by HDE will be passed on to those persons who use the Goods. HDE’s Goods are to be used
in their recommended applications and all warning labels adhered to the Goods by HDE shall be left intact. It is impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with the use of the Goods. Risks of serious injury or death, including risks associated with electrocution, arcing and thermal burns,
are inherent in work in and around energized electrical systems. Such risks arise from the wide variety of electrical systems and equipment to
which Goods may be applied, the manner of use or application, weather and environmental conditions or other unknown factors, all of which
are beyond the control of HDE. HDE does not agree to be an insurer of these risks, and shall have no liability for any claims arising from such
risks. WHEN YOU BUY OR USE THESE PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT THESE RISKS.
6. EXCUSE OF PERFORMANCE (FORCE MAJEURE):
HDE shall not be liable for delays in performance or for non-performance due to acts
of God; acts of Buyer; war; fire; flood; weather; sabotage; strikes, labor disputes, civil disturbances or riots; governmental requests, restrictions,
allocations, laws, regulations, orders or actions; unavailability of or delays in transportation; default of suppliers; or unforeseen circumstances
or events beyond HDE’s reasonable control. Deliveries or other performance may be suspended for an appropriate period or cancelled by
HDE upon notice to Buyer in the event of any of the foregoing, but the balance of this agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected. If HDE de-
termines that its ability to supply the total demand for the Goods, or to obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Goods,
is hindered, limited or made impracticable due to causes set forth herein, HDE may allocate its available supply of the Goods or such material
(without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Goods or materials) among itself and its purchasers on such basis as HDE determines
to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
