Terms and Conditions
The following Terms and Conditions apply to all sales transactions with Wes-Garde Components Group,
Inc., a Florida corporation (“Wesgarde”), with its principal offices located at 2820 Drane Field Road,
Lakeland, FL 33811:

Minimum Order

Wesgarde has a $100 Purchase Order minimum for all U.S. domestic sales, unless arranged otherwise by
written agreement. Products not in stock may be subject to factory minimum order quantities. Special
orders of any quantities may be subject to Non-Cancelable Non-Returnable (NCNR) order requirements.
International orders are subject to a $250 Purchase Order minimum, unless arranged otherwise by
contract agreement. E-commerce purchases do not require a minimum order dollar value however the
orders are subject to minimum order quantities.

Pricing

Pricing to the customer may be subject to change in the sole discretion of Wesgarde based on changes
in pricing from the manufacturer and/or supplier. In the event that Wesgarde increases the price to
customer for any products as a result of price increases by the manufacturer or supplier of such
products, then customer may, as customer’s sole remedy, elect to cancel the purchase order for such
products by giving written notice of cancellation to Wesgarde within three (3) days after customer’s
receipt of notice from Wesgarde of the price increase. Pricing may also be affected if agreed volume
commitments are not met resulting in abandoned inventory costs for Wesgarde. Wesgarde agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of any price increase for customers who regularly
use a given component. Tariff charges or impositions will not be subject to any notice requirement, and
they will be passed through to the customer as incurred. Wesgarde shall not be bound by any verbal
pricing agreements.

Blanket Orders or Scheduling

Wesgarde offers blanket orders under certain circumstances but for periods of no longer than 12
months. If customer acceptance schedules substantially change or moves deliveries outside the agreed
12 month period, Wesgarde reserves the right to update pricing accordingly. Blanket orders are not
supported by all of Wesgarde’s supplier partners.

Acceptance of Orders

All purchase orders received by Wesgarde are considered an “offer” from the customer. Pricing and
delivery must be confirmed or corrected by Wesgarde prior to acceptance. Wesgarde reserves the right
to reject individual orders in whole or in part. Any order that is accepted by Wesgarde, but which is not
in Wesgarde’s stock at the time of acceptance, shall be deemed to have been accepted contingent upon
receiving product from Wesgarde’s supplier.

Force Majeure

Wesgarde will not be liable for delivery delays or any failure to deliver or perform its obligations due to
causes beyond its control, including but not limited to, product allocations, material shortages, labor
shortages, labor disputes, transportation delays, unusual circumstances, acts of God, acts or omissions
of other parties, acts or omissions of civil or military authorities, government priorities, fire, strikes,
floods, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine restrictions, riots, or war. Wesgarde’s time of delivery and
performance will be extended by the time and recovery of the event. In such an event, Wesgarde may,
at its option, cancel any order or remaining part thereof without liability by giving notice to the
customer.

Payment

Standard terms are Net due 30 days (Net 30) for customers with accounts already established.
Payments must be received in Wesgarde’s offices via one of the following approved forms of payment
within 30 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise stated on Wesgarde’s invoice. If payment terms
are not met, Wesgarde reserves the right to change or cancel customer’s payment terms.

Wesgarde offers several payment options for Wesgarde’s customer’s convenience. Wesgarde accepts
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, ACH, and Wire Transfers as valid forms of payment, and offers
credit terms to well-qualified businesses. Wesgarde also offers special accelerated payment discounts
for payments made via Wire or ACH (only) within 10 days of invoice (1% 10 Days Net 30). All invoices
shall be payable in full in U.S. Dollars without any deduction or setoff whatsoever within thirty (30) days
of the invoice date, unless arranged otherwise by written agreement. In the event payment in full is not
received by Wesgarde within the agreed terms period, customer agrees that interest shall be paid on
the amount outstanding at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month commencing on the
invoice date, or $25 per month, whichever is more.

Customer shall be liable for and shall pay all sales, use, VAT or other taxes, charges, duties, and
assessments imposed by any governmental authority with respect to the purchase and/or import of the
products from Wesgarde. In the event the customer has a resale certificate, it is the responsibility of the
customer to provide the certificate at the time of purchase order in order for the exemption to be
claimed.

Shipping and Delivery

All orders with Wesgarde are fulfilled Ex Works (EXW) (Incoterms 2020) from Wesgarde’s 2820 Drane
Field Road, Lakeland, Florida 33811 facilities. Wesgarde will select the carrier for shipment, unless prior
specifications have been communicated to Wesgarde by the customer’s purchase order. Wesgarde’s
responsibility for any loss or damage ends when product title passes to the customer as the product is
delivered to the carrier at Wesgarde’s facility. In the event products are lost by the carrier, Wesgarde
will extend commercially reasonable efforts to assist the customer with their claim against the carrier,
but Wesgarde does not issue RMAs (Return Merchandise Authorizations) for products lost by the carrier.

Wesgarde invoices remain due where Wesgarde can provide a valid customer order and shipping confirmation to the customer. Wesgarde may be willing to ship replacement products to the customer,
when available, but customer remains liable for payment of products lost by the carrier.
Wesgarde will only add shipping insurance on the contents when specifically requested by the customer
on the customer’s purchase order, and payment of that insurance will be the responsibility of the
customer. Delivery dates are approximate. Because delivery dates depend upon Wesgarde’s supplier’s
inventory, production, shipping schedules and other factors, actual delivery dates may differ from those
quoted. All Wesgarde shipments originate at Wesgarde locations within the United States.

Wesgarde ships all domestic shipments via UPS Ground, at the customer’s expense, unless arranged
otherwise by written agreement. Any customers using their own UPS or Fed Ex account number must
include that information on their applicable purchase order.

Wesgarde charges a handling charge of $5.00 per shipment, unless arranged otherwise by written
agreement. Other charges may apply for international and E-commerce shipments. Wesgarde accepts
consolidated shipment requests based on the customer’s usage.

Wesgarde will deliver products via drop shipment where manufacturers support direct drop shipments.
Drop shipments may be subject to a drop shipment fee imposed by Wesgarde or the manufacturers.
Title and risk of loss pass to customer when products leave manufacturer’s facility.

Customer warrants that it will not sell or distribute (or knowingly permit the sale or distribution of) any
products in jurisdictions where the sale of such products is restricted or forbidden, nor shall customer
incorporate or use any products in a manner which is prohibited by law.

Cancellations

All “special” or unique products, or any products modified for customers, that are non-stock items of
Wesgarde are considered non-cancelable non-returnable (NCNR) purchases. Any custom value- added
assemblies must also be placed and accepted as NCNR orders. Any product purchased by customer
from Wesgarde shall automatically be deemed NCNR effective as of the date that is one (1) year after
the date on which the product was received by customer.

Any cancelation or return of a part must be approved by a Wesgarde Customer Service Associate before
it is returned to Wesgarde. A cancelation may cause a change in the price.

Orders accepted by Wesgarde may be cancelled by customer only with written consent of Wesgarde,
which consent may be withheld by Wesgarde in its sole discretion. In the event Wesgarde accepts
cancelation of an order, customer may be responsible for a restocking charge or other expenses that
may have been incurred.

Returning Product

Wesgarde will not accept products returned without Wesgarde’s prior written consent, which consent
may be withheld by Wesgarde in its sole discretion. For products that are approved for return,
Wesgarde will provide an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number that must be identified on
the return shipping container. No return of products will be accepted without a RMA number issued by Wesgarde. A description stating the reason for the return must be included with the returned products.
The returned items must be in the original packaging, in the original condition and shipped by prepaid
freight from customer’s warehouse. RMAs cannot be issued for NCNR products. NCNR products are not
returnable.

Customers should contact their Wesgarde Customer Service Associate to get an RMA (Return
Merchandise Authorization) number. All returns are subject to inspection prior to credit being
processed. Any credits taken or used prior to issuance by Wesgarde may incur a $75 non-compliance
late charge which will be invoiced as such.

Cost Recovery

In the event a customer defaults on payment for the products ordered, customer agrees to be
responsible for the actual costs and expenses incurred by Wesgarde in the collection of any sums owed
by customer, and Wesgarde shall not be obligated to make further deliveries to customer. Such costs
and expenses may include, but are not limited to, all costs and expenses incurred by Wesgarde in
connection with procuring and filling customer’s order, and all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in
pursuing collection and payment of the sums owed by customer.

Freight Damages & Shortages

If product received from Wesgarde has been damaged during shipping, customer must keep all
packaging material and contact the shipping carrier. All claims for damage during transit must be made
by the customer to the carrier as title to products passed to customer upon delivery to carrier. Any
claim for any material shortage must be made to Wesgarde in writing within 5 days of customer’s
receipt of product.

Limited Warranty

Most products sold by Wesgarde are covered by the manufacturer’s warranties, and Wesgarde will
exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the extension to customer of the manufacturer’s
warranties. Regardless, Wesgarde’s warranty to customer is limited to repair, replacement or refund of
the purchase price for the product at the sole discretion of Wesgarde. Any products that Wesgarde
alters with its value-added operation are warranted to be free of defects in Wesgarde’s workmanship
for a period of one year from the date of shipment. Wesgarde shall not be liable for and customer shall
indemnify, defend and hold Wesgarde harmless from any claims based on Wesgarde's compliance with
customer's designs, specifications or instructions, or modification of any products by parties other than
Wesgarde, or use in combination with other products.

Except as expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions, Wesgarde makes no warranties concerning
products sold, and to the maximum extent permitted by law Wesgarde expressly disclaims all express
and implied warranties, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights and warranties against latent defects,
with respect to the products and any accompanying written materials or instructions. Any description of
products sold or provided by Wesgarde, whether in writing or made orally by Wesgarde or its employees or agents, and any samples, specifications, bulletins, catalogs, drawings, diagrams, or similar
materials used in connection with Wesgarde’s sales efforts or customer’s orders, are for the sole
purpose of identifying the products, and shall not be construed as an express warranty. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, Wesgarde shall not be liable for, and customer hereby waives,
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any nature including, but not limited to, loss of profit,
loss of use, loss of data, promotional or manufacturing expenses, overhead expenses, removal and/or
reinstallation costs, reprocurement costs, personal injury, injury to reputation or loss of customers, even
if Wesgarde has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Customer's recovery from Wesgarde
for any claim shall not exceed Customer's purchase price for the product giving rise to such claim
irrespective of the nature of the claim, whether in contract, tort, warranty, or otherwise. If, for any
reason, the foregoing limitations are found by an arbitration panel or court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid or inapplicable under any applicable state or provincial law, customer agrees that Wesgarde’s
total liability for all damages, losses, or causes of action of any kind or nature shall be limited to actual
damages without regard to any punitive or exemplary damages provided by any such applicable law.

Products identified as RoHS compliant, based on information provided by Wesgarde’s suppliers, do not
contain the substances prohibited by the European Community Directive on the restriction of the use of
certain hazardous substances, at levels in excess of the anticipated maximum concentration values.
Certification of product compliance with RoHS and its exemptions is best vested in the expertise of the
supply chain not having transformative responsibilities. As such, any information provided by Wesgarde
in reference to RoHS compliance is based on the product manufacturer’s timely and accurate
information and is not a declaration of compliance by Wesgarde.

Remedies

Excluding all transactions otherwise conducted under NCNR product sale terms, in the event Wesgarde
products materially fail to perform, customer agrees to deliver written notice to Wesgarde with specific
details of the non-performance. If Wesgarde continues to fail to perform or correct the matter within
60 days after Wesgarde receiving written notice, Wesgarde agrees that customer may cancel the
purchase order(s) related to the non-performance, and request a credit for the cost of the nonperforming
products. Wesgarde’s liability is limited to the warranty set forth above, without any other
indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any nature, all of which are waived by customer
above.

In the event the customer fails to perform its purchase order obligations, customer agrees that
Wesgarde may, at its option, pursue whatever remedies are available, including but not limited to
recovery of supplier fees related to cancellations of customer’s order/contract and other damages to
Wesgarde from customer’s failure to meet order/contract, including any merchandise price market
value differential at point of delivery and return, cancellation fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, credit
reporting fees, foreign exchange losses and related damages.

acknowledges that the products are subject to the export and/or import control laws and regulations of various countries including the Export Administration Laws and Regulations of the United States.

further or additional assistance or advice. Wesgarde shall not be held liable for the content or
customer’s use of such technical assistance or advice nor shall any statement made by any of
Wesgarde’s representatives in connection with the products constitute a representation or warranty,
express or implied.

Governing Law and Venue

and Wesgarde shall be in the state and federal courts located in and for Polk County, Florida, and customer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives any right to object thereto
