1.         Background.  ND Industries, Inc. ("ND") develops, manufacturers, markets, sells and distributes various coatings and other products for the fastener and other industries, including bottled adhesive products that are user applied, as well as the equipment utilized to apply such coatings.  The Buyer (as identified in the related quote or Purchase Order) is interested in purchasing from ND those goods and/or services as more fully described in the Buyer's Purchase Order or ND's quote, as applicable (the "Products and/or Services").  These Terms and Conditions shall be deemed incorporated into Buyer's Purchase Order for the Products whether or not specifically referenced therein.

2.         Offer & Acceptance; Agreement.  Buyer's acceptance of ND's quote and/or ND's acceptance of Buyer's written Purchase Order is limited to acceptance of the express terms and conditions contained herein.  Once accepted, ND's quote or Buyer's Purchase Order, as the case may be, together with these Terms and Conditions, and any supplementary written information incorporated by reference herein, shall be the complete and exclusive statement of the parties' agreement and supercedes any prior discussions, negotiations, agreements, and understandings.  Any modifications proposed by Buyer are not part of the parties' agreement in the absence of ND's written acceptance thereof.  Any terms or provisions in the Purchase Order which are in any way inconsistent with those herein shall be null and void and the Terms and Conditions herein shall control.  The placing of a Purchase Order or the shipping of goods to ND to be processed shall constitute acceptance of the Terms and Conditions contained herein.
3.         Purchase Price And Payment Terms .  The price quoted by ND for the Products and/or Services is in U.S. dollars for the quantity shown, less any taxes, freight, duty, and custom's charges.  The purchase price for the Products and/or Services shall be paid net thirty (30) days unless otherwise specified by ND in writing.  If, in ND's judgment, the financial condition of the Buyer at the time processed goods are ready for shipment does not justify the terms specified, ND reserves the right to change these terms or to require full payment or partial payment in advance.  All sales are subject to the approval of ND's credit department.
 
4.         Warranty.  ND warrants the Products and/or Services to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal and recommended use and that the Products and/or Services will conform to ND's published specifications or, if applicable, Buyer's specifications accepted by ND in a separate writing.  ND's obligation under this warranty shall be limited to providing replacement products to the extent of any defective Products and/or Services, or at ND's election, to the repayment or crediting of Buyer with an amount equal to the purchase price of such defective Products and/or Services whether such claims are for breach of warranty, breach of contract, or negligence.  This warranty shall extend for twelve (12) months from date of the original purchase by the original buyer only, and shall apply only to those goods which upon ND's examination disclose to its satisfaction that the Products and/or Services in question were in fact defective.  THIS  WARRANTY  IS  EXPRESSLY  IN  LIEU  OF  ALL  OTHER  WARRANTIES  EXPRESSED  OR  IMPLIED  INCLUDING  THE  WARRANTIES  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE  OR  USE  AND OF  ALL  OTHER  OBLIGATIONS  OR  LIABILITIES  ON  ND'S  PART.   THIS  WARRANTY  SHALL  NOT  APPLY  TO  ANY  PART  WHICH  HAS  BEEN  SUBJECT  TO  ACCIDENT,  NEGLIGENCE,  ALTERATION,  ABUSE  OR  MISUSE  OR  WHICH  IS  DEFECTIVE.   ND  MAKES  NO  WARRANTY  WHATSOEVER  IN  RESPECT  TO  ACCESSORIES  OR  PARTS  OR  CHEMICALS  NOT  SUPPLIED  BY  ND.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any parts purchased by ND from its vendors shall only carry the vendor's specific warranty, to the extent transferable to Buyer.  No representation or warranty, expressed or implied, made by any sales representative or other agent or representative of ND, which is not specifically set forth herein, shall be binding upon ND.

5.         Inspection And Rejection.  Final inspection of the Products and/or Services purchased pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at Buyer's premises unless otherwise agreed in writing.  The Products and/or Services (or parts) rejected as not conforming to the Purchase Order, or as otherwise defective, shall be returned at Buyer's initial expense, including transportation and handling costs, but subject to reimbursement by ND upon confirmation of the defect claimed.  Acceptance by Buyer of shipment of the Products and/or Services rendered by ND shall be deemed to have occurred no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such shipment by Buyer or Buyer’s customer, unless a timely rejection has been made by that date.

6.         Shipment And Delivery.  Except as provided in Paragraph 5, above, as it relates to returned processed goods, shipment of the processed goods shall be F.O.B.  ND's place of business.  Buyer shall be responsible for all transportation and delivery costs and shall bear the risk of any loss or damage in transit.  Delivery dates, if specified by ND, are estimates only and are not guaranteed and are not binding on ND.

7.         Confidentiality And Non-Disclosure.  Buyer recognizes that ND is the owner of certain confidential and proprietary information relating to the development and application of the Products and/or Services, which includes specifications, technological know-how and other types of information or data, including certain patents related thereto (the "Technical Information").  Buyer agrees not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish to any third-party any of the Technical Information.  Buyer further agrees to protect from disclosure ND's Technical Information to the same extent which Buyer seeks to protect its own Technical Information from disclosure (but in no event will Buyer exercise less than reasonable measures).  The confidentiality obligations herein shall not apply to any Technical Information which (a) at the time of disclosure is in the public domain, (b) after disclosure becomes part of the public domain other than through a breach of a non-disclosure obligation, or (c) was received from a third-party who acquired such information through lawful means and without any breach of a non-disclosure obligation.  Tooling and gages, if any, for which Buyer is invoiced shall remain property of ND unless otherwise indicated and shall be maintained by ND only as long as reasonable usage warrants, as determined by ND in its sole discretion.

8.         Patents.  ND shall indemnify and save Buyer harmless from any judgments for damages and their costs which may be rendered against Buyer in any suit brought against Buyer on account of the infringement of any United States patent by any goods supplied by ND hereunder, provided that Buyer promptly notifies ND of the commencement of any such suit and authorizes ND to settle or defend such suit as ND may see fit, and provided further that Buyer renders every reasonable assistance which ND may require in defending any such suit.  This indemnity shall not apply if Buyer has furnished the specifications for the Products and/or Services, or if Buyer has altered or modified in any way such Products and/or Services.  In that event, Buyer shall indemnify and hold ND harmless for any claim of patent infringement.

9.         Taxes.  Buyer shall be responsible for all taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges related to the sale and shipment of the Products and/or Services; provided, however, ND shall be responsible for U.S. income taxes related to amounts received by ND in connection with its sale of the Products and/or Services to Buyer.
