Wi-Tronix®, LLC Quotations Standard Terms and Conditions
Sale of Goods. Wi-Tronix, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, (“Wi-Tronix”) proposes to sell certain Goods to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase certain Goods from Wi-Tronix, at the prices and in the quantities set forth on such quotations (“Quote(s)”) referring to these terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”), and such Quotes are subject in all respects to these Terms and Conditions. “Goods” mean the equipment, hardware, software, software as a service, documentation and other materials provided by Wi-Tronix to Buyer under any Quote. “Buyer” shall be the entity or individual listed as the Buyer on the applicable Quote. If Wi-Tronix accepts a purchase order initiated by Buyer on a separate form, it is done as an accommodation only and any terms and conditions contained in such form which vary, amend or supplement the terms and conditions of these Terms and Conditions shall be null and void and of no effect.
Cancellation. Orders under any applicable Quote may be cancelled, or deliveries deferred by Buyer only upon written notification delivered to Wi-Tronix prior to the scheduled delivery of the Goods. Upon notification of cancellation or deferred delivery, Buyer assumes immediate liability for, and agrees to make payment to Wi-Tronix as follows: (a) for all work completed prior to the date of notice of cancellation, Buyer will pay Wi-Tronix the unit sales price as listed on the Quote for such Goods, and (b) for all work in process, Buyer will pay Wi-Tronix an amount equal to the percentage of Goods completed as of the date of notice of cancellation multiplied by the unit sales price as listed on the Quote for such Goods, plus raw material, tooling, and engineering costs already incurred by Wi-Tronix; and (c) other cancellation charges incurred by Wi-Tronix in reasonable reliance on delivering such cancelled or deferred Goods to Buyer, including handling and overhead charges. All cancellation charges shall be determined by Wi-Tronix at the time of notice of cancellation or deferment and notice of such charges shall be provided to Buyer within a reasonable amount of time following notice of cancellation.
Fees. The Goods shall be sold for the Fees set forth on the Quote. “Fees” mean the aggregate of the purchase price and other types of fees, charges, taxes and expenses payable by Buyer under the applicable Quote. All Fees due and payable by Buyer to Wi-Tronix must be paid in full without any deduction, set-off, counterclaim or withholding of any kind unless required by law. Fees are subject to change at any time without notice, based upon market fluctuations. The Fees for Goods that have previously been set forth and agreed to in an accepted Quote may be increased by Wi-Tronix if the market price of fuels, shipping, materials, raw materials, equipment, labor and other production costs, increase beyond normal variations and/or as a result of supply chain disruptions or changes in domestic and/or foreign regulatory compliance. Unless otherwise set forth in a Quote, Buyer shall purchase the hardware identified in the applicable Quote. Wi-Tronix software shall reside on the hardware installed on Buyer’s mobile assets. Unless otherwise set forth in a Quote, the Fee for each asset shall be invoiced upon installation for the current month and all remaining calendar months of the then-current calendar year and thereafter, on an annual basis, on or before the first day of such calendar year. All Fees for each asset shall be co-terminous. By way of example, the initial invoice for an asset installed in January shall be invoiced for a period of 12 months of the Fee, whereas an asset installed in February shall be invoiced for 11 months, etc.
Terms of Payment. Wi-Tronix shall invoice Buyer electronically for all Fees due and Buyer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt unless otherwise explicitly agreed to in writing. Notwithstanding anything herein and/or on any Quote to the contrary, the Fees due are non-refundable. All Fees are stated in US Dollars and must be paid in US Dollars. Upon authorization from Buyer, the fees shall be deducted from the payment account designated by Buyer. If Buyer’s designated payment account is closed, inaccurate, or if, for any reason a charge is rejected, upon notice from Wi-Tronix, Buyer shall immediately update Buyer’s payment account information and/or supply a new payment method, as appropriate and will be responsible for any associated fees due to the rejected payment incurred by Wi-Tronix, including but not limited to service, administrative and bank fees.
Late Payment. In the event payment is not received by Wi-Tronix within thirty (30) days after becoming due, Wi-Tronix may: (a) charge interest on any such unpaid amounts at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (b) suspend further production and any deliveries to Buyer until payment has been made in full, without prejudice to any of Wi-Tronix’s other remedies. If at any time, in Wi-Tronix’s reasonable opinion, Buyer’s financial ability becomes inadequate, to meet any current or future obligation to Wi-Tronix, Wi-Tronix reserves the right to change or withdraw any or all credit from Buyer, suspend or cancel deliveries and require full cash payment or satisfactory security before continuing production or making deliveries under these Terms and Conditions. Buyer shall pay Wi-Tronix all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Wi-Tronix and its agents in connection with all attempts to collect from Buyer any payments due and unpaid, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection fees, interest and court and arbitration costs.
Taxes. In the event Wi-Tronix is required to remit and collect from Buyer any tax, tariff or duty (“Tax”) which is imposed by a governmental authority for the production, sale, shipment or use of the Goods, Wi-Tronix shall pay Tax that is separately stated on Wi-Tronix’s invoice(s), unless Buyer furnishes Wi-Tronix with exemption certificates acceptable to the relevant governmental authority(s). Buyer shall not have any liability for Taxes based on Wi-Tronix’s income including, but not limited to, income tax, workers compensation taxes and the like.
Delivery. The purchase and/or delivery terms are EXW Bolingbrook, Illinois, unless expressly specified otherwise in the Quote. In its reasonable discretion, Wi-Tronix shall select the method of shipment and the carrier for the Goods. The full cost of shipping the Goods will be added to the invoice and paid by Buyer. Wi-Tronix may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale and Buyer shall pay for the Goods shipped, in accordance with the payment terms specified herein, whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of an order. Unless otherwise stated within the Quote, Buyer shall be responsible for any installation of the Goods. If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Wi-Tronix notice that the Goods have been delivered, or if Wi-Tronix is unable to deliver the Goods on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Wi-Tronix, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage, and insurance).
Late Delivery. Any time quoted for delivery is an estimate only; however, Wi-Tronix shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver all Goods on or before the requested delivery date as set forth in the Quote or as agreed to by the parties. Accordingly, under no circumstances shall Wi-Tronix assume responsibility for any damage, direct or consequential, whatsoever arising out of any delay. No delay in the shipment or delivery of any Goods relieves the Buyer of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions, including accepting any remaining installments or other ordered Goods. In the event of any default by Buyer, including, without limitation, Buyer’s failure to pay for any installment as and when due, Wi-Tronix shall be excused from any further production and delivery of the goods and any other duties Wi-Tronix may have, without limiting Wi-Tronix’s right or remedies in any
Title of Goods and Risk of Loss. Unless otherwise specified on a Quote, title to Goods and risk of loss pass to Buyer, and Wi-Tronix’s liability to deliver ceases, upon making delivery of the goods to carrier at Wi-Tronix’s plant (EX-Works Bolingbrook, Illinois). Wi-Tronix’s software as a service subscriptions shall begin on the date shipped and/or distributed.
Acceptance of Goods. Buyer shall inspect the goods immediately upon receipt and shall give written notice to Wi-Tronix of the precise nature of any claim that the goods supplied are nonconforming. Such written notice shall be given within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of such goods. Wi-Tronix shall thereupon be afforded a prompt and reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods at a location specified by Wi-Tronix. If Buyer shall fail to give such notice or provide such opportunity to inspect, the Goods shall be deemed to conform to the terms of the Quote and Buyer shall be bound to accept and pay for the Goods in accordance with these terms hereof. If Buyer does not comply with the aforesaid thirty (30)-day notice provision, Buyer expressly waives any rights it may have to revoke or refuse acceptance of the goods or refuse to make payment. Buyer must request and receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA) from Wi-Tronix before returning any Goods. If Goods are returned without such authorization, they will be refused by Wi-Tronix. If the goods are proven to be nonconforming to the reasonable satisfaction of Wi-Tronix, Buyer’s exclusive remedy against Wi-Tronix, if for (a) shortage, shall be to require Wi-Tronix to make up the shortage within ninety (90) days of Wi-Tronix’s receipt of the notice, or (b) defects, shall be to return the nonconforming goods to Wi-Tronix, at Wi-Tronix’s expense, by reasonable method of shipment, within thirty (30) days after receiving Wi-Tronix’s authorization, whereupon Wi-Tronix at its election shall repair or replace the same or repay the price thereof. Wi-Tronix reserves the right to replace defective parts with parts and components of similar quality, grade and composition where an identical part or component is not available. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished Goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair or upgrade Goods.
Term. The term of these Terms and Conditions commences on the date the first Quote is accepted by Buyer and continues until all orders pursuant to the Quote(s) have been completed, cancelled or terminated (“Term”).
Warranty.

IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION HEREIN.
Indemnity. Buyer, at its expense, will defend any claim or action threatened or brought against Wi-Tronix, any of its officers, directors, employees or authorized agents, consultants or other representatives by any third parties arising out of or related to any claim: (a) resulting from the use, combination with and/or incorporation of the Goods with other things not furnished by Wi-Tronix, if such Goods were manufactured in accordance with specifications provided by Buyer to Wi-Tronix; and/or (b) that any Goods or any portion thereof manufactured in accordance with specifications provided by Buyer to Wi-Tronix constitutes an infringement, violation, trespass, contravention or breach of any patent, copyright, trademark, license or other property or proprietary right of any third party, or constitutes the unauthorized use or misappropriation of any trade secret of any third party. Wi-Tronix will notify the Buyer in writing of any such claim or action and will reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the defense of such claim or action, at Buyer’s expense.
Force Majeure. Wi-Tronix shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations to Buyer in whole or in part due directly or indirectly to any circumstances beyond Wi-Tronix’s control under these Terms and Conditions and/or Quote, including, without limitation, war, terrorism, cyberterrorism, riot, flood, act of God, shortage of transportation, blockade, embargo, court order, telecommunication, power line failures governmental action, local, regional and/or global pandemic or epidemic, strike or other labor unrest, fire, damage to or destruction in whole or in part of Goods or Wi-Tronix’s plant or inability to obtain material, equipment or transportation (a “Force Majeure Event”). If any shipment shall be delayed six (6) or more months because of a Force Majeure Event, each party shall have the right upon ten (10) days advance written notice to the other to cancel the shipment and the balance, if any, of the Goods ordered, and, Buyer shall pay Wi-Tronix costs incurred to date in accordance with Section 2 hereof and thereafter neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss or damage direct or consequential from such cancellation. In the event of Wi-Tronix’s inability to supply the entire demand for the Goods in any order due to a Force Majeure Event, Wi-Tronix reserves the right to allocate its available supply among any or all orders taken, including, without limitation, orders taken from different customers of Wi-Tronix, all on such basis as Wi-Tronix may deem fair and practical, without liability to Buyer resulting therefrom.
Limit on Liability. WI-TRONIX’S TOTAL AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF AND/OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND/OR QUOTE SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO WI-TRONIX BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE QUOTE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT WILL WI-TRONIX BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA AND BUSINESS) EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL APPLY DESPITE ANY NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, ERRORS AND/OR OMISSIONS BY WI-TRONIX, ITS EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND/OR AGENTS.
