the Goods to prevent damage and deterioration, and comply
with carrier tariffs. Charges for preparation, packing,
and crating are included in the prices unless separately
specified in this Purchase Order / Contract. Buyer’s
order numbers must be plainly marked on all invoices,
packages, and bills of lading and shipping orders. Packing
lists shall accompany each box or package shipment showing
Buyers order number and item number and description

5. EARLY/LATE AND OVER SHIPMENTS. Klune’s Early/Late
and Over Shipment Policy is based on a window of 5 days
early and 0 days late to the PO delivery date at the
exact quantities ordered. Early/Late - If
quantities are received more than 5 days prior to the
PO due date, Klune may not receive and/or pay early
unless the Klune Purchasing Representative expressly
authorized the early shipment with a revised PO reflecting
the changes made. If this policy is violated,
Klune may return product to supplier at supplier’s expense.
Over
Shipments - Klune will only pay at the PO price for
the quantity that Klune ordered and not for excess quantities
that may have been shipped. Any excess quantities
that Klune receives will be identified to Accounts Payable
as a monthly debit against the supplier’s account.
As a result Klune will not pay the supplier for the
over shipped quantity. These over shipped quantities
are also subject to being returned to the supplier at
their expense.

CHANGES

the general scope of this Purchase Order / Contract
which affect the (a) drawings, designs, or specifications;
(b) method of shipment or packing; (c) place of inspection
delivery or acceptance; or (d) delivery schedules. If
any such change causes an increase or decrease in the
cost of, or the time required for, performance of this
Purchase / Order Contract, an equitable adjustment shall
be made in the Purchase Order / Contract price or delivery
schedule or both, and the Purchase Order / Contract
shall be modified in writing accordingly. Any claim
by Seller for adjustment under this Article must be
asserted in writing to Klune Industries’ Purchasing
Representative not later than thirty (30) days after
the date of receipt by seller of the written change
authorization, or within such extension as Klune Industries
may grant in writing. Klune Industries may, in its sole
discretion, consider any such claim regardless of when
asserted. Pending any such adjustment, Seller will diligently
proceed with the Purchase Order / Contract as modified.
Where the cost of property made excess or obsolete as
a result of a change is included in the Seller’s claim
for adjustment, Klune Industries shall have the right
to direct the manner of disposition of such property.
Klune Industries shall have the right to examine any
of Seller’s pertinent books and records for the purpose
of verifying Seller’s claim.

in the form of a complete change proposal fully supported
by factual information and shall separately identify
all increases and all decreases in costs. The claim
shall be submitted by a senior company official in a
signed writing that contains the following certification
statement.
“I
certify that the claim is made in good faith, that the
supporting data are accurate and complete to the best
of my knowledge and belief; and that the amount requested
accurately reflects the Purchase Order / Contract adjustment
for which (Seller) believes Klune Industries is liable.”
12.
TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE
(a) Klune Industries may terminate performance of work
under this Purchase Order / Contract in whole or, from
time to time, in part by delivering to Seller a written
notice of termination specifying the extent of termination
and the effective date.
(b) Klune Industries will pay Seller (I) the Purchase
Order / Contract price for Goods and services completed
and accepted but not previously paid for; (II) reasonable
costs incurred in performance of work terminated but
not completed; (III) reasonable profit on work performed
before but not complete at the time of termination;
and (IV) reasonable settlement costs incurred as a result
of the termination, adjusted for any savings reasonably
identified with the termination. Settlement costs for
the work terminated shall consist of expenses for accounting,
legal, clerical, and other services reasonably necessary
for the preparation of termination settlement proposals
and supporting data; termination and settlement of subcontracts
(excluding the amounts of such settlements); and necessary
preservation and protection of property which is in
Seller’s possession and in which Klune Industries has,
as a result of this Purchase Order / Contract, or may
acquire an interest. However, if it appears that seller
would have suffered a loss on the entire Purchase Order
/ Contract had it been completed, Klune Industries will
pay no profit and will reduce the settlement to reflect
the indicated rate of loss. In no event will Klune Industries
pay Seller more than the Purchase Order / Contract price.
(c) Seller will submit to Klune Industries a fully supported
written termination settlement proposal within forty-five
(45) days after receipt of a notice of termination,
and Klune Industries will promptly negotiate an equitable
termination settlement. Failure to agree to a settlement
will be a dispute. Klune Industries may examine any
of Seller’s books and records relevant to Seller’s termination
compensation under this provision. If Seller fails to
submit a timely termination settlement proposal, Seller
will be bound by Klune Industries’ good faith determination
under Paragraph (b), above, of the amount due if any,
for a total termination or the prospective price adjustment
affecting the continued portion of the Purchase Order
/ Contract if the termination is partial.
13.

to Klune Industries of Seller’s subcontracts; and Seller
shall protect and preserve property in possession of
Seller in which Klune Industries has interest. Payment
for completed Goods delivered to and accepted by Klune
Industries shall be at the Purchase Order / Contract

SELECTION AND EVALUATION OF SOURCES
All
suppliers and their representatives are treated fairly
and impartially. Ability, capacity, integrity, financial
status, geographical locations, performance, reliability,
quality of product, delivery and overall customer-supplier
relations are factors which govern the evaluation of
all sources prior to soliciting their quotation and
during the tenure of the Purchase Order / Contract.
We
must be assured that the new suppliers will be able
to produce an improved product, reduce costs or offer
other advantages. A new supplier’s financial ability
to perform is important in view of our industry’s long
lead times, complex engineering problems and precise
quality and inspection requirements.
In
an effort to improve both quality and cost of our products,
we are constantly searching for additional suppliers
who offer the best value to Klune Industries.
QUOTATION
POLICY
Klune
Industries, Inc. company’s procurement policy emphasizes
the importance of competitive bidding. Good business
practices dictate that quotation requests will be submitted
to a number of qualified sources consistent with the
nature of, and the need for, the supplies or services
being acquired.
Quotations
are solicited via the most direct recognized sales channel
of the manufacturer, making certain the obligations
and responsibilities of the principal suppliers are
in no way lessened or confused by transactions through
a third party.
Quotations
will be requested only from suppliers who are considered
to be qualified and capable. A request for quotation
indicates our willingness to do business with those
solicited. Klune Industries recognizes that the preparation
of quotations adds expense for the supplier. It is our
practice to request quotations only for firm requirements
or, in the absence of firm requirements, only where
circumstances dictate the need to contact suppliers.
