1.1 The Company shall sell and deliver to the Customer and the Customer shall purchase and accept from the Company the products (herein, the “Products”) described on or in any confirmed order, agreement or quotation, or any combination thereof (the “Order”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Order and those specified below, which taken together shall constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Customer regarding the Products (herein, this “Agreement”).
1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing or otherwise stated on the quotations, all quotations for Products are valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of issue. Subsequent modifications in quantity or quality, if such are requested by the Customer, generally will cause a modification of the quoted price. The Customer shall bear all costs associated with the modification of the Order.
1.3 No Order is binding upon the Company until the earlier of acceptance of the Order in writing with an order confirmation or the delivery of the Products to the Customer. Notwithstanding any prior acceptance of an Order by the Company, the Company shall have no obligation if the Customer is in breach of any of its obligations hereunder, or any other agreement between the Customer and the Company, at the time the Company’s performance was due.
1.4 All verbal agreements concerning the terms of any Order, including agreements made by telephone, shall have no force and effect unless and until acknowledged by the Company in writing.
1.5 Orders placed with and accepted by the Company may not be canceled except upon the Company’s written consent prior to shipment and the Customer’s acceptance of the Company’s cancellation charges which shall protect the Company against all costs and losses. The Company reserves the right to cancel any Order hereunder in the Company’s sole discretion without liability to the Company (except for refund of monies already paid).
2.1 All price quotations are EXW (per Incoterms 2010) from the Company’s shipping facility at 350 N Frontage Road, NJ 07850 and do not include costs for packaging, postage or other freight charges, insurance or taxes, if any.

3.1 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, invoices issued by the Company are due and payable by the Customer within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.
