Seller commencement of performance or acceptance of this Purchase Order / Contract in any manner shall conclusively evidence agreement to this Purchase Order / Contract as written.

 

2. DEFINITIONS. Whenever used in this Purchase Order / Contract,

Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any anticipated or actual delay, the reasons therefor, and the actions being taken by Seller to overcome or minimize the delay. If requested by Buyer, Seller shall, at Seller’s expense, ship via air or other fast transportation to avoid or minimize the delay to the maximum extent possible. Schedule delays may be cause for an equitable reduction in Purchase Order / Contract price.

 

4. PACKING AND SHIPPING. Seller shall prepare and pack 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 of material.


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.

 

6. INVOICE AND PAYMENT.
(a) For each shipment of goods or completed item of services, Seller shall submit an original invoice marked “original” and one copy marked “copy” to the appropriate Klune Industries Accounts Payable Department.

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.

Klune Industries shall have the right to examine any of Seller’s pertinent books and records for the purpose of verifying Seller’s claim.
(b) Seller’s claim for equitable adjustment shall be 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. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT
(a) Klune Industries may terminate the whole or any part of this Purchase Order / Contract in any of the following circumstances:
1. If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods or to perform the services required by this Purchase Order / Contract within the time specified herein, or any extension thereof granted by Klune Industries in writing ; or
2. If Seller fails to perform any of the other provisions of this Purchase Order / Contract or fails to make progress as to endanger performance of this Purchase Order / Contract in accordance with its terms, and in either of these two (2) circumstances does not give adequate assurances regarding such failure within a period of ten(10) days after receipt of notice from Klune Industries specifying such failure, or
3. In the event of suspension of Seller’s business, insolvency, institution of bankruptcy, liquidation proceedings by or against Seller, appointment of a trustee or receiver for Seller’s property of business, or any assignment, reorganization or arrangement by Seller for the benefit of creditors.
(b) Klune Industries may require Seller to transfer title and deliver to Klune Industries in the manner and to the extent directed by Klune Industries (1) any completed Goods; and (2) such partially completed goods and materials, parts, tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, plans, drawings, information, and Purchase Order / Contract rights, (hereinafter called “manufacturing materials”) as Seller has produced or acquired for the performance of this Purchase Order / Contract, including the assignment 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 price. Payment for manufactured materials delivered to and accepted by Klune Industries and for the protection and preservation of property shall be at a price determined in the same manner as provided in Article 11 hereof, except that Seller shall not be entitled to profit.

The rights and remedies afforded to Buyer or Customers pursuant to any provision of this Purchase Order / Contract are in addition to any other rights and remedies afforded by any other provisions of this Purchase Order / Contract, by law, or otherwise.


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.
