The following are the terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions")
for the sale of products ("Products") by Matco Components, Inc.
("Matco Components") to Matco Component's customers
("Customer"). These Terms and Conditions shall apply to the exclusion
of all other terms referred to in any purchase order, acknowledgment,
confirmation or any other documentation issued by either party, unless agreed
in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Matco Components; no Matco
Components employee or agent has the right to modify these Terms and Conditions
verbally. If a contract is not earlier formed by mutual agreement in writing,
acceptance of any Products shall be deemed acceptance of the Terms and
Conditions stated herein. Matco Components reserves the right to amend these
Terms and Conditions at any time. The most current version of these Terms and
Conditions can be found at www.matcocomponents.com.
2.
BUSINESS CUSTOMERS.
Matco Components is a business to business supplier. Its catalog and any
specialogs and other product brochures produced by Matco Components are
intended for use by business customers and not consumers. By ordering, the
Customer represents and warrants that Customer is acquiring the Products on
behalf of a business and not as a consumer.
3.
ORDERS.
Orders will be initiated by Customer issuing a purchase order to Matco
Components. Orders must identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers,
descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. Orders are
subject to Matco Component's acceptance. Matco Components reserves the right to
limit quantities and to refuse to deal with any person.
4.
PRICES.
Orders are billed at the prices (in United States dollars) in effect at the
time of shipment. The catalog reflects the latest pricing information available
at the time of printing, which is subject to change without notice.
Non-standard Products will be sold at the prices set out in the relevant
quotation supplied by Matco Components. If Customer does not purchase the
quantity upon which quantity prices are based, Customer will pay the
non-discounted price for the quantity actually purchased and/or a cancellation
fee. Prices for any rescheduled deliveries may be increased by Matco Components
in the event of an increase in Matco Component's prices or costs or causes
beyond Matco Component's reasonable control.
Prices do not include federal, state and local sale, use, excise and similar taxes that apply to Products, which Customer will also pay at the applicable rate unless an original signed tax exemption certificate is received by Matco Components.
5.
TERMS OF PAYMENT.
If Matco Components has not granted credit to Customer, payment terms are cash
with order. There is a $25.00 service charge on all returned checks.
If credit has been granted, payment is net 30 days from date of invoice. All payments must be made without set-off or deduction. Retainage shall not apply. Orders are subject to credit approval by Matco Components, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer's credit or require advance payment or payment by official bank check.
Customer expressly represents it is solvent at the time it places any purchase order with Matco Components. If Matco Components reasonably believes that Customer's ability to make payments is impaired, Matco Components may cancel any order or remaining balance thereof, and Customer will remain liable to pay Matco Components for Products already shipped. Customer will submit such financial information as Matco Components may reasonably require for determination of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any payment received from Customer may be applied by Matco Components against any obligation owing by Customer to Matco Components under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such payment, without discharging Customer's liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to Matco Components. The acceptance by Matco Components of such payment will not constitute a waiver of Matco Component's right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. If Customer fails to make payment when due, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, (i) overdue sums will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of 18% or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law; and (ii) Matco Components will be entitled to reimbursement for all costs of collection and attorneys' fees. Credit cards accepted are MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. Customer acknowledges that transactions to which these terms relate are commercial transactions. To the extent not contrary to applicable law, Customer (i) waives any available homestead exemption, (ii) irrevocably authorizes Matco Components to appoint a representative to appear in a court of competent jurisdiction to confess a judgment without process in Customer's favor for such amount that remains unpaid, and (iii) consents to immediate execution upon any such judgment. Customer voluntarily and knowingly waives its right to notice, demand, presentment, protest and any hearing to which it may be entitled under any state or federal law relating to any right or remedy (including prejudgment remedies) that Matco Components may elect to use or of which it may avail itself.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION AND OTHER WAIVERS CONTAINED HEREIN CONSTITUE A WAIVER OF IMPORTANT RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME, THESE WAIVERS ALLOW MATCO COMPONENTS TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE OR YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND TRIAL. MATCO COMPONENTS MAY OBTAIN JUDICIAL REMEDIES TO COLLECT AMOUNTS DUE REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR RETURNED OR FAULTY PRODUCTS, FAILURE BY MATCO COMPONENTS TO COMPLY WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CAUSE).
6.
DELIVERY AND TITLE.
All shipments by Matco Components are FOB point of shipment from Matco
Component's facility and the amount of all shipment charges shall be paid to Matco
Components by Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products.
Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by Matco Components
unless specifically designated by Customer. Matco Components will aim to
initiate shipment and deliver the Products as close as possible to Customer's
requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that shipment and delivery
dates provided by Matco Components are estimates only and that Matco Components
will not be liable for failure to achieve such dates. For the avoidance of
doubt delivery of Products within 30 days of the requested delivery date shall
constitute timely delivery. Delivery of a quantity within ±10% of the quantity
ordered will constitute full delivery. Matco Components reserves the right to
make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not
entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s).
Subject to Matco Component's right of stoppage in transit, delivery to a carrier will constitute delivery to Customer, and risk of loss of or damage to the Products will pass to Customer at this point. Title to the Products shall remain with Matco Components until payment in full for the Products by Customer. Products invoiced and held by Matco Components at Customer's request will be held at Customer's risk and expense. Title to software shall remain with the applicable licensor(s), and Customer's rights therein are contained in the EULA between Customer and such licensor(s).
7.

such cancellation to Customer by telephone, email or facsimile within 60 days
of receipt of such order. Customer may, without charge, cancel an order for
standard Products provided the order is scheduled for shipment by Matco
Components more than 60 days after Matco Components receives written notice of
cancellation from Customer. Customer may only cancel an order for standard
Products scheduled for shipment by Matco Components within 60 days after Matco
Components receives written notice of cancellation if accepted by Matco

PUBLISHED INFORMATION.
Matco Components makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information
published in its catalogs. However, Matco Components makes no representations
about the information presented, which is provided "as-is" without
warranty of any kind. Any specification sheets provided to Customer are
produced by the manufacturer or transcribed from information provided by the

12. MATCO
COMPONENTS CORPORATE RoHS COMPLIANCE AND LEAD-FREE POLICY
It is the policy of Matco Components to provide RoHS Compliant and/or lead free
parts as available from our suppliers. The RoHS compliance status of Matco
Components provided parts is available upon request at www.matcocomponents.com. When
a part is identified as RoHS Compliant, it means that, based on information
provided by our suppliers, the product does not contain the substance
restricted by the European Community Directive (2011/65/EU) on the Restriction
of the use of certain Hazardous Substances, (“RoHS Directive”), at levels in
excess of the anticipated maximum concentration values or the existence of the
restricted substances in the product at levels in excess of those
concentrations is allowed as one of the particular applications listed in the
Annex to the RoHS Directive. Matco Components performs no testing of product
and relies solely on the manufacturer of the product for identification of RoHS
Compliance and for absence of lead. Furthermore, Matco Components makes no
warranty, certification or declaration of compliance concerning said products.
Product is advertised or offered as RoHS Compliant or Lead-Free only after
sufficient evidence is received from the component manufacturer; and any
inventory, either in a bin or on order, has been determined to be RoHS
compliant and/or Lead Free. Any relevant evidence will be filed and maintained
for at least four years from the date of receipt. Matco Components defines the
term "RoHS" as supplier declared compliance to all restricted
hazardous substance regulations under the End of Life Vehicle ("ELV
Directive"), Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("WEEE
Directive") or RoHS European Union ("EU") directives,
regulations or laws. Matco Components defines the term "Lead Free" as
pertaining to any product that has been declared by a Supplier to be "Lead
Free". All statements by Matco Components of RoHS compliance are based on
producer documentation.
