These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) by Kroll International, LLC (“Kroll International”) and the entity named on the accompanying quotation, confirmation of sale, invoice or account application (“Buyer”) between Kroll International and Buyer. Such accompanying quotation, confirmation of sale, invoice or account application 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 whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order 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. Any terms or conditions of Buyer that are different or additional to these Terms are expressly rejected by Kroll International. These Terms may only be amended or modified in a writing signed by an authorized representative of each party.
Unless expressly agreed to otherwise, Buyer shall comply with all of the applicable manufacturer’s mandates, regulations, and standard methods related to the Goods (“Manufacturer’s Regulations”). The Manufacturer’s Regulations can include, but are not limited to, department or agency bids at any level, minimum advertised pricing policies, geographical product sales restrictions, notifications of stop-sales, resale to other dealers and distributors, third party e-commerce sales and distribution, use of manufacturer logos and/or trademarks, sale of products via e-commerce channels, use of proprietary licenses and/or designs, and third party shipping by wholesaler or Buyer.
By completing an Account Application, Buyer hereby certifies that all statements contained therein are true and correct. Buyer shall notify Kroll International in writing of any changes to the Account Application or any changes in legal structure or ownership of Buyer from the time of completion of the Account Application. Buyer hereby authorizes the Bank and Trade References listed in the Account Application to release any information necessary to assist Kroll International in establishing credit terms. By signature of the applicant (officer, principal, owner or partner), you hereby authorize Kroll to run a full investigation of your credit history including, but not limited to, obtaining a consumer credit report.
The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer’s purchase order, subject to availability of finished Goods, but Kroll International shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit. Kroll International shall deliver the Goods to the address provided in the Account Application (“Delivery Location”) using Kroll International’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall be responsible for all unloading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Delivery Location. Kroll International may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods 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 Kroll International is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Location because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Kroll International, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

Buyer shall inspect the Goods within ten days of receipt (“Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Kroll International in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Kroll International. “Nonconforming Goods” means only the following: (i) product shipped is different than identified in Buyer’s purchase order; or (ii) product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. If Buyer timely notifies Kroll International of any Nonconforming Goods, Kroll International shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. If Kroll International exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Kroll International shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Location. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this section are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided under this section, all sales of Goods to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to Kroll International.
Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Kroll International at the prices (the “Prices”) set forth in Kroll International’s published price list in force as of the date of Buyer’s purchase order. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts payable by Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Kroll International’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets.
