No order shall be binding upon NALU until accepted by NALU in writing, and NALU shall have no liability to Buyer with respect to purchase orders that are not accepted. Buyer shall submit purchase orders to NALU in accordance with NALU’s then-current lead times. After acceptance by NALU, Buyer’s purchase order may not be canceled or reduced in any amount by Buyer without NALU’s written consent. Any other changes to a purchase order requested by Buyer will require the prior written approval of NALU, which approval may be subject to price adjustments as determined by NALU on a case-by-case basis.
03. Delivery, Shipping, Risk of Loss
NALU will use reasonable efforts to deliver Products at the times specified in NALU’s acceptance of Buyer’s purchase order, provided, however, that all delivery dates are estimates only and deliveries may be in installments. All Products shipped hereunder will be marked for shipment to Buyer’s address specified in Buyer’s purchase order and shipped FOB from NALU’s U.S.-based shipping point (“Delivery Point”), at which time risk of loss from any casualty and title pass to Buyer. If Buyer advises NALU in writing that Buyer will arrange and take responsibility for shipment of Products from NALU’s U.S.-based shipping point, NALU will arrange for Buyer’s freight forwarder and/or carrier(s) to transport the Products to Buyer’s specified location. In all cases of damage and/or loss to Products in transit, Buyer will be responsible for making claim(s) against the carrier; provided, however, that NALU will provide reasonable assistance with such damage and/or loss claims. Loss of or damage to Products shipped will not relieve Buyer of any obligations for payment or other obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Unless otherwise agreed by NALU in writing, shipping, freight, handling, insurance, and related costs are the sole responsibility of Buyer and will be “pre-paid and added” or otherwise invoiced to Buyer. Expedited purchase orders received and accepted by NALU by 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time will be shipped on the same business day, subject to Product availability.
