TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

1. Entire Agreement.  These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”), combined with the conditions specified in the quotation, represent the entire agreement between SG WIRELESS LIMITED (“SG Wireless”) and the Customer (each a Party and together the Parties) for purchase orders placed by the Customer and accepted by SG Wireless for standard products, Customer specified products (“Products”), design services and subscription services  (“Services”), unless superseded by a further agreement signed by both parties. Terms in SG Wireless’s Design Service Agreement, Subscription Agreement or quotation may supersede specific terms in these Terms & Conditions. In issuing a purchase order to SG Wireless, Customer agrees to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. Any additional or different terms and any pre-printed terms in any Customer purchase order or other written communication will have no legal effect unless agreed to in writing by SG Wireless. SG Wireless will provide Products or Services, as specified in the purchase orders issued by Customer and accepted by SG Wireless. Where software is provided by SG Wireless to Customer, whether or not embedded into Products, Customer acknowledges that use of that software is governed by SG Wireless or third party software license terms and conditions applicable to that software as set forth below in Article 5. SG Wireless reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice.

2. Delivery and Acceptance.  SG Wireless will use its reasonable efforts to meet Customer delivery requirements. SG Wireless will not be liable for any costs or expenses that might be incurred by the Customer as a result of a delay in delivery of the Products or Services. 

2.1 Products will be delivered Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) SG Wireless’s premises unless otherwise specified by SG Wireless.  SG Wireless transfers title and risk of loss to the Products upon delivery irrespective of whether or not SG Wireless has arranged for transportation according to Customer instructions.  Customer agrees to carry adequate insurance until such time as the Products are paid for in full. SG Wireless reserves the right to allocate production and delivery of Products to its customers at SG Wireless’s sole discretion and under any circumstances. Customer is solely responsible for costs of shipping and insurance after delivery to the SG Wireless designated delivery point. If SG Wireless incurs shipping or insurance costs on Customer’s behalf, Customer must promptly reimburse SG Wireless all such costs.  

2.2 Subject to the Warranty provisions of Section 10, Customer may reject Products or Services that are proved, to SG Wireless’s reasonable satisfaction, not to meet the relevant mutually agreed to or published specifications or, to have been materially damaged prior to delivery by SG Wireless.  In such an instance for Products, Customer will notify SG Wireless in writing within ten (10) calendar days of original delivery of Products and request a return material authorization (“RMA”) for rejected Products.  Once an RMA is issued, Customer shall have five (5) calendar days to return rejected Products to SG Wireless, at Customer’s risk and expense. Subject to the warranty provisions of Section 10, SG Wireless will then, at its election and cost, repair, replace or credit Customer for the rejected Products.  In the case of replacement, title to rejected Products shall pass to SG Wireless upon delivery to SG Wireless. In the case of rejected Services, SG Wireless will attempt to remedy the situation so that the Services are capable of meeting the Customer’s acceptance criteria.  The Customer may then conduct further acceptance testing. If, after such further acceptance testing as the Customer may reasonably determine, the Services still do not meet the acceptance criteria, the Customer may, by notice in writing to SG Wireless: (i) accept the Services subject to a reduction of the applicable project costs as agreed by the Parties and/or SG Wireless undertaking to remedy the Services within an agreed time; or (ii) reject the Services and terminate the Design Services or Subscription Agreement; or (iii) adopt such other course of action as the Parties may agree in writing. In the absence of earlier notification of rejection, Customer will be deemed to have accepted Products or Services ten (10) calendar days after delivery.

3. Specifications. SG Wireless reserves the right to change the specifications of any standard products or software at any time and without prior notice unless specifically agreed to in writing by SG Wireless. Unless Customer provides and SG Wireless agrees to particular specifications for Customer specified products in writing, standard products and software shall conform to the specifications in SG Wireless’s published data at the time of order confirmation.

For Products incorporating embedded Software, SG Wireless grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable copyright license under SG Wireless intellectual property rights to use such software embedded in the Products. In the case SG Wireless supplies Software that is not embedded but intended for use in conjunction with the Products, and where such Software is not subject to a separate license agreement, the sale of such Products grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable copyright license to Customer under SG Wireless’s intellectual property rights to (i) use the Software exclusively in conjunction with the Products and (ii) make and distribute object code copies of the Software as required for normal use of the Products.

An order may be rescheduled once from its originally scheduled ship date per the table in Article 7.
