COMPANY SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO AND DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHER THEORIES OF LAW, WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCTS SOLD BY COMPANY, OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR OMISSIONS RELATING THERETO.

IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY PENALTIES, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, CONTINGENT, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST REVENUES, LOST PROFITS, DAMAGE TO ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES, AND ANY SIMILAR DAMAGES, EXPENSES, OR LOSSES, AND REGARDLESS OF HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS TO DAMAGES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AGREED ALLOCATIONS OF RISK AND SHALL SURVIVE THE DETERMINATION OF ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION THAT ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

10.    Governing Law, Dispute Resolution.   The Agreement, including these Terms, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Buyer and Company, and hereby supersedes and replaces any previous agreements with regards to these matters. THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods does not apply. The state or federal court located within Hennepin County, Minnesota shall be the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any litigation between Buyer and Company. Buyer agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such court in the event of any litigation.

11.    Effect of other Agreements, Terms.    In the event of any ambiguity or conflict between or among these Terms, and any other agreement or writing signed by Company, the order of document precedence shall be as follows:

     i.  The provisions of the Agreement, any Company quote, price list or other order form;

     ii.  The provisions of the Terms; and

     iii. The provisions of any other agreement or writing signed by Company relating to the subject matter in question.

12.    Performance; Force Majeure.  Neither party shall be liable for any delay in delivery or other default in performance that is due to unforeseen circumstances, or to causes beyond its reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of such party. Such causes and circumstances include, without limitation, labor disputes, unforeseen action or inaction of civil or military authorities, or of contractors or subcontractors, or of other third parties (other than those contractors, subcontractors, or third parties under the control of the nonperforming party), civil unrest, epidemics, natural causes or acts of God, including but not limited to fire, flood and storms, and any other cause or condition beyond the parties’ reasonable control. Provided any such delay or default is neither material nor indefinite, the time for performance shall be extended for a commercially reasonable period of time and thereafter the other party shall accept performance hereunder. The Buyer’s exclusive remedy for other delays and for Company’s inability to deliver for any reason shall be rescission of the Agreement.

13.    Default.  The Buyer’s failure to either make any payment when due or comply with any other material term or condition of these Terms shall constitute default. If the Buyer has not cured the default within 30 days after Company gives written notice of such default, Company may, in addition to any other rights and remedies for damages provided herein or under law, terminate the Agreement between itself and the Buyer and terminate its obligations to perform thereunder by giving the Buyer written notice to take effect upon receipt. An interest charge equal to 1 1/2% per month (18% per year) or the highest rate allowable by applicable law, whichever is less, will be added to invoices outstanding beyond 30 days after shipment. Buyer agrees that Company is entitled to recover all and any legal and other costs and expenses (including reasonably attorneys’ fees) arising from the collection of any overdue monies.

14.   Assignment.  The Buyer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder, except to a majority-owned and controlled affiliate of the Buyer, without the prior written consent of Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

15.    Waiver.  The failure of the Buyer or Company at any time to require the performance of any obligation will not affect the right to require such performance at any time thereafter. The waiver of any remedy with respect to any default will not be taken as a waiver of any remedy for any succeeding default.

16.    Invalidity and Interpretation.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof, whether in whole or in part, for any reason, will not affect the remaining provisions, and all Terms will be construed in all respects as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision(s) were omitted. If any part of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such part shall be reformed, if possible, to conform with any applicable laws.
