TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. ACCEPTANCE. Professional Aircraft Accessories, Inc. (“PAF”) Quote is subject to the following terms and conditions and no others unless the same has been consented to in writing by PAF. The acceptance of the applicable Quote by Customer shall be conclusive evidence of Customer’s approval of, and consent to the terms and conditions herein contained.

2. PRICE AND PAYMENT. All prices are EX WORKS (EXW) from PAF’s facility, and unless otherwise stated, do not include cartage, insurance, taxes, imposts, or other similar charges. For avoidance of doubt, sale shall be recognized and liability transferred FOB PAF’s facility. All payments shall be made in advance or in accordance with the terms agreed to by PAF, after a request for payment terms form has been submitted and approved by PAF accounting. In the event invoices are not paid by the Customer as set forth herein, PAF reserves the right to impose, and Customer agrees to pay, a late fee equal to the lesser of (1) point zero five percent (.05%) per day, or (2) the maximum rate allowable by law, which late fee shall be added to the amount due and owing to PAF. If PAF determines in its sole judgment that Customer’s credit worthiness is adversely changing, then PAF, upon three (3) days prior written notice to Customer, shall have the right to request a change in payment terms. If Customer and PAF cannot reach agreement on new payment terms within ten (10) days thereafter, then PAF shall have the option of ceasing all work in process and terminating any sale immediately. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses incurred by PAF in the enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the collection of all amounts to be paid by Customer hereunder.

3. PERFORMANCE/DELIVERIES. PAF shall not be liable for delays in delivery, performance, or failure to perform, manufacture, or deliver due to causes beyond its reasonable control; or acts of God, acts of the Customer, acts of civil or military authority, Governmental priorities, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, pandemics, war riot, delays in transportation or shortages; or inability due to causes beyond reasonable control to obtain necessary labor, materials, utilities, components, or manufacturing facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of performance/delivery shall be extended for a period of time as may be reasonably necessary to compensate for any such delay.

The warranty shall not apply to any article to the extent that the defect or nonconformity is attributable to any part not supplied by or approved by PAF.

(h) PAF’s obligations under these warranties are conditioned on Customer’s obligation to maintain records which will accurately reflect maintenance performed on Customer’s equipment and establish the nature of any unsatisfactory condition of Customer’s equipment. PAF, at its request, shall be given access to such records for sustaining warranty claims.

(i) No warranty is given with respect to articles or parts not manufactured, overhauled, or repaired by PAF.

6. EXCHANGES AND RETURNS. Unserviceable exchange cores must be returned, freight prepaid, to PAF’s facility within thirty (30) days of exchange shipment. Delay in accomplishing a timely return will subject Customer to a monthly charge equal to 2% of list price billed beginning day 31 from initial exchange. Returned cores must be the equivalent part to the exchange part provided, economically repairable and traceable to an approved source. Returned life limited cores must include full back to birth trace unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Customer agrees to pay for all excessive repairs in the overhaul of the Customers exchange core beyond a standard overhaul. Customer shall be invoiced for any such replacement parts and/or repairs.

All authorized returns will be subject to a restocking fee of 20% of the sale price, plus any recertification charges. No unauthorized returns accepted after 30 days except for warranty repair considerations. Customer will be notified whenever the returned core is “Beyond Economical Repair” (referred to herein as “BER”). If the returned core is BER, Customer will be given 10 days to supply an alternate core that is not BER. If Customer fails to supply a non-BER core, Customer shall pay the core charge at OEM list price, unless otherwise stated on quote or agreed upon in writing. Customer is responsible for and will be invoiced for core evaluation charges if core received from Customer is deemed BER.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

10. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida exclusive of any choice of law rule of that State, or any other jurisdiction which could cause any other matter to be referred to the law or jurisdiction other than that State.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, 1980, and any amendment or successor thereto is expressly excluded from this Agreement.

11. WAIVER.

No written waiver of any such right shall extend to or affect any other right PAF may possess, nor shall such written waiver extend to any subsequent similar or dissimilar breach.

12. ESTIMATED PRICING. Estimated pricing is defined to mean an approximate calculation only. The final price may exceed the estimate price. PAF reserves the right to bill Customer for article or any part of it that is found to require additional repair or replacement cost not covered by the original quote if it’s not determined until after the article or part of the article has been returned or exchanged.

13. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Customer and PAF shall act at all times as independent contractors, and nothing contained herein shall be constructed to create the relationship of principal and agent, or employee between Customer and PAF.

14. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) by Customer without the written acceptance of PAF. Customer’s purchase order, if accepted, is accepted subject to the terms and conditions in this document and no others unless the same have been consented to in writing by PAF. The placing of an order by Customer and subsequent acceptance by PAF shall be conclusive evidence of the Customer’s approval of, and consent to the terms and conditions contained herein.

15. STORAGE. Upon completion of the requested services to an article, Customer has 20 days to schedule a new delivery date and advise PAF of such. All invoices for completed articles must be paid per the agreed upon payment terms. If no response or payment is received for articles or parts and services provided, PAF reserves the right to charge interest, storage fees and/or file a lien for services rendered pursuant to Florida Statute Sec. 329.51.
