By placing order, Purchaser accepts and is bound to the Terms and Conditions of Sales below:

Prices

All prices shown on EWT’s Price List are FOB Toronto, Canada (unless otherwise noted), and are subject to change without prior notice. Price includes standard packing. Additional charge will be applied for special packaging. The prices charged for Products and Services purchased under this Agreement shall be the amounts set forth on EWT’s quotation, or as provided by the applicable invoice or Service Agreements relating to such Services. Quoted prices will remain in effect only until the expiration date of the quote or EWT’s acceptance of your order, and such prices are subject to shortages in materials or resources, increases in the cost of manufacturing, or other factors.

Quotes

All quotes are FOB Toronto, Canada, unless otherwise noted. Only written quotations are valid.

Orders

All orders are subject to acceptance or cancellation by EWT, in EWT’s sole discretion. All orders must be provided along with EWT’s product model name, specification, custom operation frequencies and other important parameters. Any optional configuration must be specified in the order. Purchaser will be fully responsible for any cost associated with incorrect or incomplete information provided in the purchase order.

Payments

Terms of payment are within EWT's sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed to by EWT, payment must be received by EWT prior to EWT's acceptance of an order. Each accepted order will be interpreted as a single Agreement, independent of any other orders. Payment for Products and Services must be made by wire transfer, electronic funds transfer or some other prearranged payment method unless credit terms have been agreed to by EWT. Payment to EWT in respect of Products and Services, as applicable, shall be made to the account indicated by EWT (as may be amended from time to time). Timely payment of the price and all charges is of the essence. It is the responsibility of Purchaser to ensure payments are authorized and approved on time to ensure receipt of payment no later than the due date; in no case shall EWT be responsible for ensuring such authorization or approval. Past due accounts are subject to a late charge of 2.0% month, beginning 30 days after the date of issuance of EWT’s valid invoice. Late penalties will be recalculated every 30 days thereafter based on Purchaser’s current outstanding balance. In addition, EWT, without waiving any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled, shall have the right to suspend or terminate any or all Services and refuse additional orders for Products or Services from Purchasing until EWT's receipt of all overdue amounts. EWT shall have no liability to Purchaser for any such suspension or termination of services or for its refusal of additional orders. EWT further reserves the right to seek collection of all overdue amounts plus all reasonable legal fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and costs associated with such collection. Purchaser shall make the payment of the corresponding price and costs in the currency identified by EWT in its invoice. Additional charges will apply if Purchaser requests Services that are performed outside of contracted hours or are beyond the normal coverage for the particular Service, such as customized invoicing, consolidated invoicing, and statements. EWT reserves the right to change the method of delivery of all documentation, and any additional changes requested by Purchaser may be subject to additional charges.

 Invoices

Other than where up-front payment in full was required prior to acceptance by EWT of an order, Invoices will be due and payable within the time period noted on EWT’s invoice to Purchaser, or if not noted, then within 30 days, measured from the date of the invoice, subject to continuing credit approval by EWT, such approval may be revoked without further notice from EWT. EWT may invoice parts of an order separately or may invoice purchases of the Products and Services in one invoice to Purchaser. EWT is not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors in any offer, and reserves the right to cancel orders arising from such errors. Purchaser agrees that all invoices shall be deemed accurate unless Purchaser advises EWT in writing of a bona fide, material error within fourteen (14) days of the date of such invoice. In the event that Purchaser advises EWT of a material error, (1) payment of any amounts corrected or modified by EWT in writing shall be due within fourteen (14) days of such correction, and (2) all other amounts shall be paid by purchaser by the invoice due date. In the event Purchaser withholds payment of any invoiced amounts upon an assertion by Purchaser that such amounts are erroneous, and EWT subsequently concludes that such invoiced amounts are accurate, Purchaser shall pay interest on such amounts as described above from the due date for such amounts until EWT's receipt of those amounts. In no case shall Purchaser be entitled to offset, defer or deduct any invoiced amounts that EWT determines are not erroneous following the notification process set forth above.

Shipping Charges, Title, Risk of Loss

Taxes, environmental disposal surcharges, and shipping and handling charges are not included in Product prices unless expressly indicated at the time of sale. Title to Products passes from EWT to Purchaser upon shipment to Purchaser. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by EWT is EWT's responsibility. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by Purchaser is Purchaser’s responsibility. Shipping and delivery dates are provided as estimates only. Purchaser must notify EWT within 21 days of the date of Purchaser’s invoice or acknowledgement if Purchaser believes any part of Purchaser’s order is missing, wrong, or damaged.

Taxes

Unless Purchaser provides EWT with a valid and accurate tax-exemption certificate applicable to the Product purchase and ship-to location, Purchaser is responsible for sales tax and any other taxes or governmental fees associated with the order. Purchaser may qualify for tax exemptions from time to time in which case EWT requests that Purchaser provides it with a valid certificate of exemption or other appropriate documentary proof of exemption. The charges stated in the order or any invoice shall be inclusive of all duties, levies or any similar charges and shall exclude GST, PST, HST or other equivalent sales or use tax. Unless otherwise specified in writing by EWT, Purchaser shall pay all freight, insurance, and taxes (including but not limited to import or export duties, sales, use, value add, and excise taxes). EWT shall provide Purchaser with a valid invoice in accordance with applicable law. In the event that Purchaser is required by law to make a withholding or deduction in respect of the price payable to EWT, Purchaser will make the relevant payments to EWT net of the required withholding or deduction. Purchaser will supply to EWT evidence (e.g. official withholding tax receipts), to the reasonable satisfaction of EWT, that Purchaser has accounted to the relevant authority for the sum withheld or deducted. If such evidence is not provided to EWT within 60 days of remittance to the applicable tax authority, EWT will impose a penalty payment on Purchaser, and Purchaser will be liable for such penalty, in the amount of the withholding imposed on that particular transaction.

Changed or Discontinued Products or Services

EWT's policy is one of ongoing update and revision. EWT may revise or discontinue Product or Services offerings at any time without prior notice to Purchaser. A change in a Product or Service may occur after a Purchaser places an order but before EWT ships the Product or performs the Service. As a result, Products or Services Purchaser receives might display minor differences from the Products or Services Purchaser orders. However, the EWT-branded Products and Services will meet or exceed all material specifications of such order. Parts used in repairing or servicing Products may be new, equivalent-to-new, or reconditioned.

Limited Warranty

  1. All EWT products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment. This limited warranty does not extend to any of EWT’s products that have been subject to alternation, tampering, misuse, neglect, accident, vandalism, Purchaser specified carrier’s shipping damage, problems with electrical power, improper installation or application, nor shall it extend to units which have been substantially repaired or altered outside EWT’s factory, EWT is not liable for replacement of any product damaged by lightning or any other acts of God.
  2. No material is accepted for replacement or repair without written authorized from EWT. All shipping charges on returned material must be prepaid. Replacement or repair is made only after examination at the factory shows defective material or workmanship at the time of manufacture.
  3. It is understood that this statement constitutes EWT’s entire and only warranty, there being no other warrantees expressed or implied in law or in fact, including implied warrantees or fitness. In no event shall EWT be liable for damages, to the user or third party, either direct or consequentially, that may be occasioned by any defect in materials, workmanship or product support.

Limited Liability

  1. EWT is in no event liable for consequential damages or other costs of any nature as a result of the use of the products manufactured by EWT.

  2. EWT’s total liability for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with this agreement (including any products or services provided hereunder) in any 12-month period shall not exceed the total amount paid by Purchaser during this prior 12 months of this agreement for the specific product or service giving rise to such claim(s).
  3. These limitations, exclusions and disclaimers shall apply to all claims for damages, whether based in contract, warranty, strict liability, negligence, tort, or otherwise. The parties agree that these limitation of liability are agreed allocations of risk constituting in part the consideration for EWT’s sale of products or services to Purchaser, and such limitations will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy and even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such liabilities.

Returns and Exchanges

Credit not exceeding 70% of the invoiced price may be allowed to the original purchaser upon the return of unused material, provided it is received prepaid and in new and unused condition. Before returning or exchanging a Product, Purchaser must contact EWTdirectly to obtain an authorization number (RMA) to include with the return. Purchaser must return Products to EWT in their original or equivalent packaging, and Purchaser is responsible for risk of loss, shipment damage, as well as shipping and handling fees. Additional fees, including a 30% restocking fee, will apply. If Purchaser fail to follow the return or exchange instructions provided by EWT, EWT will not be responsible for any loss, damage, or modification of a Product, or processing of a Product for disposal or resale. Credit for partial returns may be less than invoice or individual component prices due to bundled or promotional pricing associated with the original purchase. Return authorizations are valid only within ninety (90) days after shipment from EWT. Custom and discontinued products will be evaluated separately.

Service Agreements

EWT may provide Services to Purchaser in accordance with one or more Service Agreements. Each Service Agreement will be interpreted as a single agreement, independent of any other Service Agreement, so that all of the provisions are given as full effect as possible.
