OMNI SYSTEMS, LLC STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
This document sets forth the terms and conditions for the sale by OMNI Systems, LLC, 701 Beta Drive, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44143(“OMNI”) to Customer of the Products or Services listed on OMNI’s quotation.
I. Offer and Acceptance.
A. OMNI's quotation constitutes an offer for the sale of Products or Services (“Offer”). Unless otherwise specified in the Offer, or some other document signed by OMNI, the terms and conditions of sale set forth in this document (“OMNI’s Terms”) apply to all Products and Services sold or provided by OMNI to Customer.
B. Any purchase order or other form of acceptance issued by Customer shall result in a contract for the purchase of the Products or Services at the price quoted in the Offer. Customer will be deemed to accept any of OMNI's Terms to which Customer has not specifically objected. Customer's issuance of a purchase order which purports to reject some or all of OMNI's Terms by virtue of standard form language is insufficient objection. Customer must set forth each objection to OMNI's Terms in a separate writing signed and dated by Customer and delivered to OMNI prior to or contemporaneous with Customer's purchase order or other form of acceptance. OMNI’s failure to object to provisions in any purchase order, or other communication from Customer (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind), will not waive OMNI’s Terms, nor be an acceptance by OMNI of any such provisions. Any terms in Customer's purchase order or any other document of acceptance which are different from or additional to OMNI's Terms are hereby rejected unless specifically accepted by OMNI in a separate document signed by both Customer and OMNI, regardless of whether such other terms would materially alter the terms of this document. No course of dealing, custom or usage, which is contrary to OMNI's Terms shall apply.
C. OMNI reserves the right to correct any typographical or clerical errors in prices, specifications, quotations, or acknowledgments.
D. The minimum purchase order amount for labels is $1,500 per line item. Purchase orders for all other Products or Services that total less than $1,500 will be assessed a processing fee.
II. Financial Condition.
At OMNI’s request, Customer will furnish sufficient information to enable OMNI to assess Customer’s creditworthiness. OMNI may, in its discretion, require full or partial payment in advance, or require other adequate assurances satisfactory to OMNI when, in the opinion of OMNI in its sole discretion, Customer’s financial circumstances warrant such action.
III. Prices.
A. Prices are subject to a 30-day prior notice, are collect from point of shipment, and do not include freight unless otherwise quoted, delivery charges, taxes (sales, excise, use, ad valorem, etc.) or any export or import duties. Those charges may be prepaid by OMNI and added to Customer’s invoice.
B. OMNI will charge Customer OMNI’s current rates for tooling, plates, proofs, alterations, digital and soft proofs, etc. (“tooling”). Customer is responsible for all reasonable maintenance and storage expenses associated with tooling.
IV. Shipment, Delivery, and Inspection.
A. OMNI will select the method and carrier for delivery of all Products. Risk of loss or damage to the Products will pass from OMNI to Customer upon delivery to a carrier at point of shipment.
B. Any shipment, delivery, or performance date stated in the Offer or other contract document is approximate only and does not constitute any guarantee of shipment, delivery, or performance on any particular date. Customer may request expedited handling or shipment but will be charged OMNI’s then-current expedite fee. Failure to make shipments as scheduled is not cause for cancellation nor gives rise to a claim for damages of any character.
C. Time shall not be of the essence of this Agreement.
D. Customer must inspect and accept or reject Products delivered by or for OMNI within 96 hours after delivery to Customer's facility. If Customer does not reject or give notice of non-conformity within 96 hours of delivery, all products delivered shall be conclusively deemed accepted and to conform to contract requirements.
E. Prior to returning any Products to OMNI, Customer must obtain a valid RMA number from OMNI. OMNI has no obligation with respect to any Products returned without a valid RMA number. OMNI may refuse any Products returned without a valid RMA number or discard them.
V. Payments, Title, and Security Interests.
A. All payments shall be without deductions for back-charges, other accounts between OMNI and Customer, and the like, which shall be settled independently of the payment of the invoice. Payment shall not prejudice claims for omissions or shortages in shipment, but no such claim will be allowed unless made in writing within 96 hours after receipt of the applicable shipment by Customer.
B. Payments are due 30 days from the date of OMNI's invoice, unless OMNI agrees to alternate terms in writing. OMNI may charge interest on any balance due beyond 30 days (or alternative agreed upon terms as stated above) at the rate of 1.5% per month. Any discounts for early payment that may be offered by OMNI are valid only if payment is received by OMNI within the specified and agreed upon time for early payment.
C. Notwithstanding that risk of loss passes to Customer upon shipment, title shall not pass to Customer and OMNI shall have a security interest in all Products until OMNI receives payment in full. At the request of OMNI, Customer shall sign all financing statements and other documents required to protect OMNI's security interest.
D. Title and risk of loss to any tooling will pass to Customer upon payment in full, even if the tooling remains in OMNI’s possession.
E. Upon termination or expiration of the parties’ business relationship, or the contract to which OMNI’s Terms apply, whichever is sooner, Customer shall purchase from OMNI all Products in OMNI’s inventory that have been produced or acquired exclusively for Customer’s use.
VI. Delays.
A. OMNI shall not be liable for loss, damages, or non-performance resulting from delays in receipt of final specifications or instructions from Customer, changes in specifications, force majeure, including but not limited to strikes, labor disturbances, material shortages, nonmanufacturing conditions, delays or failures of carriers or communication, epidemics, fire, flood, storms, accident, riot, war and invasion, governmental requisition or priorities, acts of God, or other causes beyond OMNI's reasonable control.
B. In the event of such delay, the delivery date shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. OMNI shall undertake to notify the Customer promptly of any significant delay and will specify the revised delivery date as soon as practical. IN NO EVENT SHALL OMNI BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF A DELAY OR FAILURE TO DELIVER.
C. If shipment is delayed or extended by Customer, Customer shall arrange for and notify OMNI of the place or places to which OMNI shall ship the Products covered by the order for warehousing or storage at Customer's expense and all risk of loss or damage to the Products shall be borne by Customer. If Customer is unwilling or unable to promptly arrange for warehousing or a storage facility, OMNI may store all Products at Customer’s expense and risk and will invoice Customer for the full contract price of the Products upon shipment to the place of storage.
VII. Cancellation.
Customer may cancel an order only with OMNI’s consent and upon payment to OMNI of all costs incurred after acceptance of the order including the cost of tooling and plates, work in process, finished goods, inventory and any expedite fees associated with the cancelled order.
VIII. Product Design.
OMNI reserves the right to make changes and improvements in the design and specifications of its Products without notice or obligation to Customer.

F. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL OMNI BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MATERIAL OR OTHERWISE, OR FROM ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF OMNI’S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, TORTIOUS OR OTHERWISE.
