Terms and Conditions

1. Applicability

These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) are the only terms and conditions that govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) and services (“Services”) by Regional Avionics Repair, LLC (“RAR”) to the customer (the “Customer”) named on the accompanying work order estimate and/or invoice (the “Sales Confirmation”). The Sales Confirmation and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the complete and final agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. This Agreement prevails over any of Customer’s terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Customer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend this Agreement.

2. Repair Services; Delivery of Goods.

(a) In the case of Goods to be repaired by RAR, Customer must pack and ship the Goods, at its sole expense and risk of loss, to RAR in strict compliance with RAR’s instructions and applicable law. RAR’s instructions may require the use of specific packaging types and methods required or recommended by original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), including containers required by Collins Aerospace for attitude heading computers (“AHCs”). If Customer ships an AHC to RAR other than in an approved container, (i) the limited warranty set forth in Section 8(a) below shall be void, and (ii) Customer must purchase an approved container for return of the repaired Goods by RAR at RAR’s then-current price. If it fails to do so, RAR will ship the repaired Goods to Customer in the container that Customer used to ship the Goods to RAR.(b) RAR shall deliver the Goods within a reasonable time after the receipt of Customer’s signed Sales Confirmation and full payment of amounts due, subject to availability of parts and other materials that RAR elects to acquire from third parties and, in the case of repair Services, subject to prompt delivery to RAR of the Goods to be repaired. RAR shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit. Customer is responsible for all costs of shipping Goods to and from RAR. RAR may elect to have Customer pay in advance for parts and materials, including packing and shipping materials. The price of parts and materials is subject to change.

(c) RAR shall ship the Goods to the Customer address listed on the Sales Confirmation (the “Delivery Point”) using RAR’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Customer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Point.

(d) If for any reason Customer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods, or if RAR is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point because Customer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (ii) RAR, at its option, may store the Goods until Customer picks them up, in which case Customer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

(e) RAR shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates for the Services specified in the Sales Confirmation, but any such dates shall be estimates only. Delay may result from, among other things, a revised estimate by RAR of the scope or cost of work to be performed, in which event RAR may require Customer to confirm its approval of the revised estimate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, RAR may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Customer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services or the fees set forth in the Sales Confirmation.

(f) With respect to the Services, Customer shall (i) cooperate with RAR in all matters relating to the Services; (ii) respond promptly to any RAR request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for RAR to perform Services; (iii) provide such customer materials or information as RAR may request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services.

3. Title and Risk of Loss

Title and risk of loss pass to Customer upon shipment of the Goods by RAR. As collateral security for the payment of all amounts due hereunder, Customer hereby grants to RAR a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Customer in, to and under the Goods, 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 California Commercial Code.

4. Customer’s Acts or Omissions

If RAR’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, RAR 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 Customer, in each case to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.

5. Return of Goods.

RAR has no obligation to accept returns of Goods. If, in its sole discretion, it elects to accept the return of Goods, (a) Customer must pay for packing and ship the Goods, at Customer’s expense and risk of loss, to RAR in strict compliance with RAR’s instructions, and (b) RAR will charge a restocking fee equal to 20%of cost of the Goods or Services.

6. Price

Customer shall purchase the Goods and Services from RAR at the price(s) (the “Price”) set forth on the Sales Confirmation. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, or other taxes, customs, duties, tariffs and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts payable by Customer. Customer shall be responsible for all such charges, to the extent applicable. RAR will charge Customer for sales taxes, to the extent applicable, unless Customer delivers a reseller certificate or other documentation confirming, to RAR’s satisfaction in its sole discretion, that Customer is exempt from sales taxes.

7. Payment Terms

Payment in full is due before RAR delivers any Goods or performs any Services, unless RAR (in its sole discretion) notifies Customer in writing that it is eligible for payment on some other basis. Customer shall make all payments to RAR in U.S. dollars by wire transfer (to an account designated by RAR), corporate check or credit card. RAR does not accept personal checks. For payments by wire transfer, RAR charges a convenience fee of $35. For payments by credit card, RAR charges a convenience fee of 3.78% of the amount charged. In the case of Goods to be repaired, if RAR tests the Goods and finds no fault, it will charge a bench test fee at RAR’s then-applicable rates. Customer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 2.0%per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Customer shall reimburse RAR for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law or equity (which RAR does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), RAR shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods or performance of any Services if Customer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder. Customer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with RAR, whether relating to RAR’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.
