GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
-
Applicability.
- These terms and conditions (these "Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of the products (including, as appropriate, any products provided in connection with services) ("Products") or the provision of services (“Services”) by Standard Calibrations, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("SCI") to the buyer as set forth in the SOW or Purchase Order as applicable ("Buyer"). If Buyer purchases or proposes to purchase the Products or Services from SCI for the purpose of selling or supplying, directly or indirectly, such Products or Services to any Federal Government Entity, the provisions set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto shall apply and shall be incorporated into the Terms by this specific reference. Additionally, to the extent the Products and/or Services purchased hereunder includes the use of SCI’s CalCloud online service (“CalCloud”), the terms and conditions of use set forth in Exhibit B shall apply and shall be incorporated into the Terms by this specific reference.
- The accompanying purchase order (the "Purchase Order") or statement of work (“SOW”), as applicable, and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement") comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer submitted its purchase order, statement of work, proposal, quote, or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a conflict between any provision contained in this Agreement and any applicable law or regulation, such law or regulation shall take precedence when required by law over such provision. In the event of ambiguity, inconsistency, or conflict between or among the provisions of this Agreement, the inconsistency, ambiguity, or conflict shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order:
-
Delivery of Products.
- The Products will be delivered within a reasonable time of such date as specified in the Purchase Order or SOW as appropriate. SCI shall not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, SCI shall deliver the Products to SCI’s location as set forth in the Purchase Order or SOW (the "Delivery Point") using SCI's standard methods for packaging and shipping such Products. Buyer shall take delivery of the Products within five (5) days of SCI's written notice that the Products have been delivered to the Delivery Point. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Products at the Delivery Point.
- SCI may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Products to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer's purchase order.
- If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Products on the date fixed pursuant to SCI's notice that the Products have been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if SCI is unable to deliver the Products at the Delivery Point on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Products shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Products shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) SCI, at its option, may store the Products until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
-
Non-Delivery of Products.
- The quantity of any installment of Products as recorded by SCI on dispatch from SCI's place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
- SCI shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Products (even if caused by SCI's negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to SCI of the non-delivery within two (2) days of the date when the Products would in the ordinary course of events have been received.
- Any liability of SCI for non-delivery of the Products shall be limited to replacing the Products within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered.
-
Shipping Terms.
Delivery shall be made FOB SCI’s location as set forth in the Purchase Order or SOW.
-
Title and Risk of Loss.
Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Products at the Delivery Point. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Products, Buyer hereby grants to SCI a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title, and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Products, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code.
-
Buyer’s Obligations (Services).
- Buyer shall:
- cooperate with SCI in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Buyer's premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by SCI, for the purposes of performing the Services;
- respond promptly to any SCI request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for SCI to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;
- provide such Buyer materials or information as SCI may request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such Buyer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and
- obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to start.
-
Performance Dates and Buyer’s Acts or Omissions.
- Regarding any Services, SCI shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates specified in the SOW, and any such dates shall be estimates only.
- If SCI’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, SCI shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
-
Amendment and Modification.

-
Change Orders.

- the likely time required to implement the change;
- any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Services arising from the change;
- the likely effect of the change on the Services; and
- any other impact the change might have on the performance of this Agreement.
- Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a "Change Order"). Neither party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing in accordance with this Section 9.
- Notwithstanding Section 9(a) and Section 9(b), SCI may, from time to time, change the Services without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the SOW.
- SCI may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Buyer on a time and materials basis in accordance with the SOW.
- If either party wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, it shall submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing. SCI shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Buyer of:

- If Buyer timely notifies SCI of any Nonconforming Products, SCI shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Products with conforming Products, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Products, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Products to SCI's facility located at 501 Resource Row, Chesapeake, VA 23320. If SCI exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Products, SCI shall, after receiving Buyer's shipment of Nonconforming Products, ship to Buyer, at Buyer's expense and risk of loss, the replaced Products to the Delivery Point.
- Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 10(b) are Buyer's exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products. Except as provided under Section 10(b), all sales of Products to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Products purchased under this Agreement to SCI.
