This Sales Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal contract between you (“you, “your,“ or “Purchaser”) either individually or on behalf of a legal entity and eAgile, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “eAgile”) for eAgile’s sale and your purchase of eAgile’s IoT and RFID tags and any related equipment (the “Products”). The business terms applicable to the sale of the Products are contained in Purchaser’s purchase order for the Products that eAgile accepts as evidenced by the issuance of its sales order.

You are bound by this Agreement by either (a) your payment for or acceptance of the Products; or (b) your failure to promptly object to eAgile’s sales order.  In no event will the pre-printed provisions of your purchase order or any associated documentation constitute a binding agreement between the parties or serve to modify the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of eAgile’s failure to object to your purchase order or associated documentation.

You and eAgile agree as follows:

1.         Price and Payment Terms.

  • a.         Freight Terms; Quantities. All sales are F.O.B. eAgile’s plant that ships the Products. You are responsible for freight costs. Product prices are those in effect on the shipment date and are subject to change without prior notice. Shipments that vary from the actual quantity ordered will be deemed conforming if the difference does not exceed ten percent. eAgile may also ship a quantity of Products greater than the quantity ordered to compensate for expected non-functioning products present in a roll. You will not be required to pay for these additional Products, but they will not make the shipment non-conforming.
  • b.         Payment Terms. Payment in U.S. Dollars is due and payable in accordance with the terms provided in eAgile’s invoice. If payment is not received by the due date, then you shall pay eAgile an additional sum equal to 1.5% per month until all unpaid amounts are fully paid. If eAgile determines that your financial condition does not justify continuance of Product manufacturing or shipment on the payment terms specified, eAgile may require that you pay for the Products in advance. You shall pay the attorney’s fees and collection costs that eAgile incurs in collecting any unpaid amounts.
  • c.         Taxes; Duties. The amount of any federal, state, local, or other taxes applicable to the sale of the Products will be added to the price and paid by you unless you provide eAgile with an acceptable exemption certificate issued by the appropriate taxing authority. If you are a foreign resident, you shall be liable for all customs and other duties related to the sale of the Products, their exportation outside of the U.S., and their importation into your country.  
  • d.         Security Interest. You hereby grant eAgile a security interest in the Products sold until payment of the purchase price and all other amounts due eAgile. You shall promptly sign and deliver any documents as eAgile requests to perfect this security interest.

2.         Shipment and Transportation Terms.   eAgile reserves the right to specify routing of shipments. eAgile will attempt to ship the Products within the time specified on the sales order, if indicated, and if not, then within a reasonable time. You acknowledge that no claim may be made for shipment delays. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable sales order, freight charges will be prepaid and billed. If you specify a carrier who is not an eAgile approved carrier, the shipment will be made to you Freight Collect.

3.         Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss for Products will pass to you on eAgile’s delivery to the carrier, regardless of the freight terms or payment method of the transportation charges.

4.         Transit Damage Claim Procedure.

  • a.         Inspection. You are solely responsible to inspect the entire shipment of Products as tendered and file a claim with the carrier if any portion is missing or damaged. Your inspection obligations include all non-pressure-sensitive roll inlays, pressure-sensitive inlays, and RFID-enabled labels.
  • b.         Reporting. If you discover any Product loss or damage on delivery, you must note such loss or damage on the delivery receipt. You must report any concealed Product damage to the carrier within 15 days of receipt. Retaining the entire Product package is necessary until after the carrier issues a concealed damage inspection report.
  • c.         Claims. Time is of the essence.Prompt inspection of the Products and the prompt filing of the loss and damage claim with all necessary documents will facilitate the carrier’s fast settlement. All claims must be accompanied by the following documents:

  • Certified copy or original bill of lading.
  • Duplicate of invoice covering shipment.
  • Duplicate of destination inspection report, if available, or duplicate of delivery receipt noting the shortage or damage.

5.         Product Modification; Converting. eAgile reserves the right to modify the Products as determined in our sole discretion unless agreed upon in writing before the sale. If eAgile issues guidelines for converting any RFID Products, you must only convert the Products pursuant to those guidelines. eAgile is not responsible for any RFID Product failure caused by the converting process.

6.         Purchase Order Cancellation; Product Returns. You shall not cancel a purchase order after it is received by eAgile.
