        Crestron’s Purchase Order, including any attachments thereto submitted by Crestron, and these Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for Vendors (collectively, the “Purchase Order”) constitute the exclusive terms and conditions for the purchase of the specified products or materials (“Products”) and/or performance of the specified services (“Services”) by the vendor named in the Purchase Order (“Vendor”) for the benefit of Crestron Electronics, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Crestron”).  Where Vendor and Crestron have entered into a separate written agreement signed by Crestron and Vendor, such signed, written agreement shall govern and these Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions for Vendors shall not apply.  Crestron and Vendor are each a “Party” and together are the “Parties”.

        1.    Acceptance of Purchase Order by Vendor

        1.1    Upon acceptance of Crestron’s Purchase Order by Vendor as set forth herein, the Purchase Order constitutes a valid and binding contract between Crestron and Vendor.

        1.2    The Purchase Order is deemed accepted by Vendor upon the earliest of the following: (a) Vendor communicating its acceptance of the Purchase Order to Crestron in writing, including without limitation, via an electronic communication; (b) Vendor failing to object in writing to the Purchase Order or any of its terms or conditions within two business days following Crestron’s transmittal of the Purchase Order to Vendor; or (c) Vendor at any time delivering or performing all or any part of the Products and/or Services.

        1.3    Subsequent to acceptance of the Purchase Order by Vendor, Crestron may from time-to-time, by written instructions issued to Vendor by an authorized representative of Crestron, make changes, issue additional instructions, require additional products, work, or services, or direct the omission of products, work, or services ordered herein.  If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for the performance of the Purchase Order, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or delivery schedule or both, and the Purchase Order shall be modified in writing accordingly.

        1.4    No extra work, additions, or alterations will be paid for by Crestron unless performed pursuant to the written instructions of an authorized representative of Crestron.  Any claim by Vendor for payment under this provision must be asserted within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Vendor of the written instructions from Crestron.

        2.    Acceptance of Products and/or Services by Crestron

        2.1    Delivery of the Products and/or performance of the Services will be deemed to be complete only when delivered and/or performed pursuant to a validly issued Purchase Order.

        2.2    All Products and/or Services are subject to Crestron’s right of inspection following delivery and/or performance by Vendor; and Crestron shall not be deemed to have accepted the Products and/or Services until it has had a reasonable period of time, but at least thirty days, to inspect the Products and/or Services following delivery and/or performance, or, in the case of a latent defect in the Products and/or Services, until a reasonable time after the latent defect has become apparent.

        2.3    Payment for Products and/or Services under the Purchase Order prior to inspection by Crestron does not constitute acceptance by Crestron.  Crestron may reject all or any portion of the Products and/or Services that do not comply with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Order and/or with the Vendor’s specifications regarding such Products or Services.  Crestron may elect to reject all of the Products and/or Services even if only a portion is nonconforming.

        2.4    Acceptance of all or any part of the Products and/or Services will not be deemed to be a waiver by Crestron of its right to (a) cancel, reject or return all or any portion of the Products and/or Services, and/or (b) make a claim for damages, for reasons including, but not limited to, defect, breach of warranty, late delivery and/or performance, or breach or non-compliance with any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Order.

        2.5    Upon Crestron’s rejection of Products or Services as noncompliant, Vendor will promptly provide replacement Products, remedy noncompliance of Services or issue a refund to Crestron (if Crestron has paid Vendor for such defective Product), as Crestron elects.  Crestron’s rights under this provision 2 (Acceptance of Products and/or Services by Crestron) exist in addition to any other rights that Crestron may have under the Purchase Order, any applicable warranty, or under applicable law.

        3.    Shipping and Risk of Loss

        3.1    All Products will be shipped in accordance with the terms set forth on the Purchase Order.  Unless otherwise specified on the face of the Purchase Order, all Products are to be shipped freight prepaid, DDP to Crestron’s designated facility.  Crestron does not accept C.O.D. shipments.  All Products will be packed and shipped in accordance with any packing and shipment specifications set forth in the Purchase Order.  Shipments of Products which may be damaged by excessive heat or cold must be properly protected in hot or cold seasons.  In addition, all shipments will be accompanied by a detailed packing list which will reference the Product type and quantity, lot number, and a valid Crestron Purchase Order number.

        3.2    Time being of the essence for delivery of Products and/or performance of Services under the Purchase Order, no change in the scheduled delivery date or performance will be permitted without Crestron’s prior written consent.  Crestron reserves the right to cancel the Purchase Order or any portion of the same if delivery is not made when and as specified, and/or to charge Vendor for any loss sustained as a result of such delay, change or cancellation including, but not limited to, shipping charges.

        3.3    Vendor shall bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction occurring prior to delivery of the Products to Crestron in good condition at its designated delivery location.  No such loss, damage or destruction shall release Vendor from any obligations hereunder.  Until such delivery is made, Vendor will insure the Products against loss or damage for their full replacement value, the proceeds of which will be payable to Crestron in the event of any loss or damage to the Products.  At the time when risk of loss passes to Crestron, Vendor will pass to Crestron good and marketable title to any Products, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, pledges, charges, mortgages, deeds of trusts, options or other encumbrances of any kind.

        4.    Payment

        4.1    As full consideration for the performance of the Services or delivery of the Products as provided herein, Crestron shall pay Vendor the amount agreed upon and specified on the applicable Purchase Order.  Payment shall be in the currency set forth in the Purchase Order.  Applicable taxes and other charges such as shipping costs, duties, customs, tariffs and government-imposed surcharges shall be stated separately on Vendor's invoice.

        4.2    Vendor shall invoice Crestron for all Products delivered and all Services actually performed pursuant to a Crestron Purchase Order.  Each invoice submitted by Vendor must be provided to Crestron within ninety (90) days of delivery of the Products and/or completion of the Services and must reference the applicable Purchase Order.  Crestron reserves the right to return any incorrect invoices.  Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, Crestron shall pay the invoiced amount within sixty (60) days after receipt of a correct invoice.

        4.3    Crestron shall be entitled to set-off any amount owing from Vendor to Crestron as a result of any transaction, against any amount payable in connection with any Purchase Order.

        4.4    Vendor shall be solely responsible for filing the appropriate federal, state and local tax forms and for paying all taxes or fees due with respect to Vendor's receipt of payment under the Purchase Order.  Vendor agrees to provide Crestron with reasonable assistance in the event of a government audit.  Crestron shall have no responsibility to pay or withhold from any payment to Vendor under the Purchase Order any federal, state or local taxes, or fees.

        11.4    The amount of insurance carried in compliance with the above requirements is not to be construed as either a limitation on or satisfaction of the indemnification obligations arising or resulting from or in connection with the performance of the Purchase Order.

        12.    Compliance with Laws and Crestron Policies

        12.1    Vendor will comply with all applicable international, foreign, and U.S.  federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, and industrial codes and standards, including, but not limited to, those relating to import/export; processing, privacy or use of personal data;  data security; health; safety; product liability; anti-money laundering laws; and RoHS Compliance.

        13.3    For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this provision 13 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution) shall prevent either Party from seeking injunctive relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

        14.    General Provisions

        14.1    Entire Purchase Order.  This Purchase Order constitutes the entire understanding between Vendor and Crestron concerning the subject matter hereof, and any representation, promise, course of dealing or trade usage not contained herein shall not be binding upon the Parties.

        14.3    Severability.  If any provision of the Purchase Order shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

        14.4    Force Majeure.  Neither Party will have responsibility to the other due to any act of God, war, sabotage or terrorism, act of government or any agency thereof, fire, flood, explosion, natural disaster or similar catastrophic occurrence, epidemic or quarantine restriction, or such other similar extreme circumstances beyond that Party’s reasonable control.  Either Party must notify the other in writing within five (5) days if it will not be able to meet its obligations under a Purchase Order due to a force majeure occurrence.  If requested by Crestron, Vendor shall, within five (5) days of such request, provide adequate assurance that the associated delay in its performance will not exceed such period of time as Crestron deems appropriate.  If the delay lasts more than the time period specified by Crestron or Vendor does not provide adequate assurance that the delay will cease within such time period, Crestron may, among its other remedies, immediately cancel the applicable Purchase Order without liability.

        14.5    Assignment.  Vendor may not without Crestron’s prior written consent, subcontract or assign any of Vendor’s rights or obligations under the Purchase Order.  To the extent subcontracting or assignment is approved by Crestron, Vendor maintains full responsibility to Crestron for the performance of all obligations under the Purchase Order, including for its subcontractors’ performance and adherence to all provisions of the Purchase Order.

        14.6    Relationship of Parties/Independent Contractor Relationship.  Nothing in the Purchase Order shall be construed to place Vendor and Crestron in an agency, employment, franchise, joint venture, or partnership relationship.  Vendor shall perform its obligations under the Purchase Order as an independent contractor.  Vendor retains the right to exercise full control of, supervision over and responsibility for Vendor’s performance hereunder, including the employment, direction, compensation and discharge of Vendor’s employees, as well as compliance with workers’ compensation, unemployment, disability insurance, social security, withholding and all other laws, rules, codes, regulations and ordinances governing such matters.  Neither Party has the authority to obligate or bind the other in any manner.  Nothing contained in the Purchase Order shall give rise or is intended to give rise to rights of any kind to any third parties.
