Any temporary surcharge imposed by Dempsey’s suppliers will be passed on to Purchaser during whatever period of time such surcharge might be in effect.

3. PAYMENT.
A. Payment terms are net 30 days from date of invoice in the currency designated by Dempsey International Packaging on open accounts to Purchasers with current approved credit unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. Dempsey International Packaging shall not be bound to extend credit: (i) prior to Purchaser’s compliance with credit requirements, including Dempsey’s approval of a signed credit application or (ii) because it has previously done so for Purchaser or others similarly situated. If Purchaser’s purchases of Goods are made through a broker, distributor, wholesaler, filler or other intermediary (“Intermediary”), references herein to “Purchaser” shall include such Intermediary as necessary to the context and Purchaser agrees that Dempsey International Packaging shall be entitled to make credit decisions concerning sales to the Intermediary in Dempsey’s discretion and may refuse to make sales on credit as it determines in its discretion. Dempsey International Packaging to the extent necessary to protect its interest in receiving payment for Goods, shall be a third party beneficiary of any purchase contract between the Intermediary and Purchaser. If Dempsey International Packaging makes sales of Goods to the Intermediary as an accommodation to Purchaser, Purchaser shall remain liable to Dempsey International Packaging for the cost of Goods sold to the extent that the Intermediary fails or refuses to pay Dempsey International Packaging for such Goods; Purchaser waives all suretyship defenses. In the event that Purchaser renders payment to Dempsey International Packaging and/or its agent in a manner purported by Purchaser to serve as payment in full of an invoice, Dempsey International Packaging and/or its agent’s acceptance of such payment (i) shall not act as an accord and satisfaction and (ii) shall be without prejudice to Dempsey’s right to pursue additional payment of such invoice. Purchaser shall not have the right of set off unless so agreed in writing by Dempsey International Packaging If any payment is past due, Dempsey International Packaging may impose a service charge of the lesser of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law or 11⁄2% per month and may hold or cease shipments of Goods. Any amounts charged to a credit card are subject to a convenience fee of 3%. Purchaser agrees to pay Dempsey’s attorney’s fees and expenses and other collection costs in the event collection or other enforcement efforts become necessary or appropriate in Dempsey’s discretion. In addition, Dempsey International Packaging shall have the right to terminate this sale, to stop Goods in transit, and to suspend further performance under these terms and conditions and/or other agreements with Purchaser in the event Purchaser fails to make any payment when due, which other agreements Purchaser and Dempsey International Packaging hereby amend accordingly.
B. Purchaser agrees that each issuance of a P.O. constitutes a representation that it is solvent and is not presently a debtor in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding. In the event of insolvency, Dempsey’s invoice shall constitute a demand for reclamation of the Goods identified on the invoice under UCC section 2-702 and United States Bankruptcy Code section 546(c). Purchaser: (i) agrees to promptly notify Dempsey International Packaging in case of insolvency;(ii) waives any defenses to Dempsey’s right of reclamation to the Goods identified in Dempsey’s invoice; and (iii) shall promptly return possession of such Goods to Dempsey International Packaging.
4. CANCELLATIONS/CLAIMS/RETURNS.
Purchaser will be responsible to pay the full P.O. price if Goods are manufactured in response to a P.O. cancelled by Purchaser (without Dempsey’s fault) prior to shipment. Purchaser shall make prompt inspection of Goods. Rejection of alleged nonconforming Goods must be made in writing 30 days after delivery for non conformities reasonably discoverable on inspection, and three (3) months after delivery for latent non conformities; after that time Goods will be deemed accepted and not subject to revocation of acceptance. Failure by Purchaser to give such written notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of Purchaser’s claim for such defects. Purchaser will give Dempsey International Packaging reasonable opportunity to examine and test Goods that are the basis for any claim. As a condition for replacement, refund or credit, Dempsey International Packaging may request the return of alleged nonconforming Goods in the same condition as when received, except such part as cannot be returned due to necessary testing. On request, Purchaser shall also return, if possible, tested Goods. No claim against Dempsey International Packaging shall be made or allowed for Goods returned without Dempsey’s prior written consent. All claims for loss or damage during transit must be made against the carrier and by notation on freight bill or delivery receipt. All returns of other than nonconforming Goods must be: (i) approved in advance by Dempsey International Packaging (ii) of Goods in new condition and not printed or special; (iii) made within 90 days; (iv) shipped at Purchaser’s expense; and (v) accompanied by or subject to a twenty-five percent (25%) restocking charge. Credits (other than those for overpayments) expire 180 days after issuance.
5. INVENTORY.
If Dempsey International Packaging has agreed to retain an inventory or safety stock of Goods, Dempsey’s obligation to produce Goods for inventory shall be subject to Purchaser’s continued compliance with this Agreement including timely payment and the responsibility to provide an accurate forecast and comply with applicable lead-times. In the event any item of Goods is discontinued or changed by Purchaser, Purchaser shall purchase and pay for all such Goods that have been manufactured and raw materials for open purchase orders for such Goods. In the event any Goods are maintained in inventory for more than ninety (90) days, Purchaser will either purchase such Goods or order the Goods scrapped and pay the purchase price as if such Goods had been purchased (and Dempsey International Packaging will retain the scrap) and, in such cases, payment will be due immediately at the end of the 90 day period without regard to Purchaser’s payment terms or standard payment terms above in section 3.
