( 采购订单条款和条 )
These terms and conditions apply to purchases made by the member of the Dorman Products, Inc. group of companies submitting this order (each a “Buyer”).“Buyer’s Terms” means the terms and conditions that are (i) on the face and back of this order or sent electronically in connection therewith, and (ii) any other terms and conditions specifically incorporated herein by reference. “Seller” means the vendor shown on the face of this order; and “Goods” means the products and services of Seller shown on the face of this order.
Download PO Terms & Conditions1. ACCEPTANCE
Seller will be deemed to have accepted this order when Seller returns the acknowledgement copy of this order or begins performance under this order. Seller’s acceptance is limited to acceptance of Buyer’s Terms. Buyer hereby objects to and rejects any proposal by Seller for additional or different terms. If Seller proposed additional or different terms which relate solely to the description, quantity, price or delivery schedule of the Goods, Seller’s proposal will operate as a rejection of Buyer’s offer as to those terms only. If Buyer accepts those revised terms, all other of Buyer’s Terms will continue to control. In all other cases, Seller’s proposal will be deemed a material alteration of Buyer’s Terms, and Buyer’s Terms will be deemed accepted by Seller, without Seller’s additional or different terms, if Seller begins performance. No amendments to Buyer’s Terms will be binding upon Buyer unless such amendments are in writing and signed by Buyer’s authorized representative.
2. DELIVERY
(a) Time is of the essence in this order. Seller will make deliveries in the quantities and at the times specified herein or in releases issued hereunder. Partial delivery or performance will not extend the final delivery date beyond that specified unless agreed to in writing by Buyer. In the event of delay in receipt of the Goods through no fault of Buyer, Buyer reserves the right, at its option, to (i) reject the Goods (or portions of the Goods) that are not timely delivered, (ii) cancel the entire order or that part of the order not delivered and purchase substitute Goods elsewhere and charge Seller with any incidental or consequential damages that may be incurred by Buyer, (iii) extend the time for delivery, or payment, correspondingly, or (iv) direct expedited routing and debit to Seller any excess costs incurred as a result.
(b) Buyer will not be liable for Seller’s commitments or production arrangements in excess of the amount or in advance of the time required under Buyer’s delivery schedule. If Seller delivers Goods in advance of schedule, Buyer may either (i) return such Goods at Seller’s expense for proper delivery, (ii) withhold payment for such Goods until the scheduled delivery date, or (iii) place such Goods in storage for Seller’s account until the scheduled delivery date. Acceptance of the Goods after any delivery date shall not be construed as a waiver of Buyer’s right to recover for late delivery.
3. PRICE
This order shall not be executed at a price higher than that specified on the face of this order. No additional charges for packing, boxing, palletizing, or cartage will be paid by Buyer unless specified on the face hereof.
4. TITLE; RISK OF LOSS
Except to the extent otherwise set forth on the face of this order, title and risk of loss with respect to the Goods shall transfer to Buyer once the Goods are received at Buyer’s designated facility, notwithstanding any agreement to pay freight, express or other transportation charges.
5. QUALITY
Seller will maintain an inspection and quality system acceptable to Buyer and in conformity with any drawings, specifications and data which are part of this order and with any quality program of Buyer described in materials referenced on the face of this order and incorporated herein by such reference. Seller will maintain adequate authenticated inspection and test reports, affidavits, and certifications relating to the work performed under this order, retain such records for a period of five years after completion of this order or as otherwise specified by Buyer, and make such records available to Buyer upon request. Seller acknowledges that Buyer may reduce its incoming inspection procedures in reliance upon Seller’s maintenance of a quality system as required hereunder.
6. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS
(a) Buyer may inspect all Goods ordered hereunder at all times and places, including during the period of manufacture. Such inspection may at Buyer’s option include confirmation of Seller’s compliance with required quality control procedures. Seller will permit Buyer and/or its designees access to Seller’s facilities at all reasonable times and will provide all tools, facilities and assistance reasonably necessary for such inspection and/or confirmation at no additional cost to Buyer. All Goods are subject to final inspection and acceptance any time after delivery to Buyer. Delivery shall not be complete until the Goods have actually been received by, and are subject to the final count, inspection and acceptance of, Buyer. Buyer may revoke its acceptance of Goods at any time, whether or not a substantial modification in the Goods has been made, if after acceptance it discovers a defect that could not have been discovered during Buyer’s normal inspection procedures.
(b) Payment for delivered Goods will not constitute acceptance thereof. Buyer may reject any Goods which do not meet the specifications set forth in this order and, in such case, may purchase substitute Goods elsewhere and charge Seller with any incidental or consequential damages that may be incurred by Buyer. Buyer may return any such Goods to Seller for reimbursement, credit, replacement or correction as Buyer may direct, or Buyer may correct and/or replace such Goods at Seller’s cost. Any Goods rejected by Buyer will be at Seller’s risk and expense and Seller will not thereafter tender such Goods for acceptance unless the former rejection or requirement of correction is disclosed. Seller will reimburse Buyer for any packaging, handling and transportation costs Buyer incurs with respect to rejected Goods.

(b) Buyer’s review or approval of samples, drawings, specifications or other data developed by Seller in connection with this order will not limit Seller’s responsibility under this order.
