TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

SafeFlight Aviation, LLC and Affiliates

EFFECTIVE DATE: 2024 | CURRENT VERSION

These Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms") govern all purchase orders, quotations, and sales transactions between SafeFlight Aviation, LLC, its subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively, "Supplier") and any procuring entity, including but not limited to corporations, individuals, partnerships, governments, or authorized representatives ("Buyer"). These Terms apply to all products, parts, engines, systems, components, and services offered for sale by Supplier ("Products").

1. APPLICABILITY AND CONTRACTUAL HIERARCHY

1.1 Scope. These Terms apply to every purchase order, quotation request, price quote, order acknowledgment, and transaction involving Products. These Terms represent the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties unless a separate, fully executed master services agreement, framework agreement, or contract expressly referenced on Buyer's purchase order supersedes these Terms in specific, identified sections.

1.2 Order of Precedence. In the event of conflicting provisions, documents shall be interpreted in the following order:

(a) Separate signed master agreement (if executed and current)

(b) Supplier's written purchase order acknowledgment or order confirmation

(c) These Terms and Conditions of Sale

(d) Supplier's written quotation

Buyer's purchase order terms and conditions are expressly rejected unless incorporated by written amendment signed by an authorized Supplier representative. Verbal understandings, email threads, instant messages, and preliminary discussions have no binding effect.

1.3 Acceptance. Supplier's acceptance of Buyer's purchase order occurs upon: (a) Supplier's issuance of a written order confirmation or acknowledgment; (b) Supplier's commencement of performance (including manufacturing, procurement, or shipment); or (c) acceptance of payment, whichever occurs first. Automated order acknowledgments via email or portal do not constitute acceptance. Buyer's continued dealing with Supplier, acceptance of Supplier's services, use of Products, or silence beyond 10 business days of Supplier's quotation constitutes Buyer's acceptance of these Terms.

2. QUOTATIONS AND PURCHASE ORDER REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Non-Binding Quotations. All quotations, whether written, oral, electronic, or transmitted via quotation platforms, are estimates only and are not binding offers. Quotations expire ninety (90) calendar days from the quotation date unless extended in writing by Supplier. Quotations are subject to change based on market conditions, material availability, and supplier costs.

2.2 Minimum Order Requirements. Buyer acknowledges that Supplier maintains minimum order quantities for certain Products. Supplier reserves the right to impose surcharges for orders below minimum quantities, consolidate small orders with future shipments, or decline orders that do not meet Supplier's operational thresholds.

 

2.3 Purchase Order Specifications. All purchase orders must include:

(a) Supplier's part number or complete technical specifications referenced in Supplier's quotation

(b) Description of the Product and applicable condition (new, serviceable, overhauled, as-removed, etc.)

(c) Requested delivery date(s) and delivery location(s)

(d) Unit price and total order value in USD

(e) Quantity and unit of measure

(f) Shipping address, invoice address, and contact information (including email and phone)

(g) Buyer's purchase order number and Supplier's quotation number (if applicable)

(h) Carrier preferences, transportation method, and special routing/packing/labeling/handling requirements, if any

(i) CRITICAL: End-use, end-user identification (company name, country of destination), and statement of whether Products will be used for military, quasi-military, defense, or civilian purposes

(j) Regulatory compliance requirements and certifications required (FAA, EASA, military standard, etc.)

2.4 Incomplete Purchase Orders. Supplier may, in its sole discretion, reject purchase orders that lack required information. Supplier will provide Buyer five (5) business days to supplement incomplete purchase orders. If information is not provided within this period, Supplier may cancel the order without liability.

3. PRICING, ESCALATION, AND COST ADJUSTMENTS

3.1 Price Quotation Terms.

(a) Currency: All prices are quoted in United States dollars (USD) unless specifically stated otherwise in writing.

(b) Validity Period: Quotations remain valid for ninety (90) calendar days from the quotation date. Supplier reserves the right to modify or withdraw pricing at any time prior to Supplier's written acceptance of Buyer's purchase order.

(c) Exclusions: Prices do not include inspection, testing, certification, special handling, non-standard documentation, environmental compliance costs, or other Buyer-specific requirements unless expressly stated in Supplier's quotation.

3.2 Catalog Pricing. For Products where the original equipment manufacturer publishes a current catalog price, Supplier will invoice and Buyer will pay the manufacturer's catalog price effective on the date Supplier ships the Product, regardless of when Buyer placed the purchase order or what price was quoted.

3.3 Price Escalation and Market-Based Repricing.

(a) Trigger Events: If, after Supplier accepts Buyer's purchase order and prior to Supplier's shipment, market conditions cause either of the following:

(i) Supplier's product cost from the manufacturer increases by more than ten percent (10%); or

(ii) The Product's market price (including import duties, transportation, logistics, and insurance) increases by more than ten percent (10%) from the original quoted price;

then Supplier reserves the right to re-quote the Product with adjusted pricing to reflect market conditions.

(b) Re-quotation Process: Supplier will provide Buyer written notice of any repricing, including documentation of cost increases, within ten (10) business days of discovering the condition.

(c) Buyer Options: If Buyer declines the repriced quotation, Buyer may: (i) accept delivery at the repriced rate; (ii) accept partial delivery of available inventory at the original price with remaining quantities at the repriced rate; or (iii) cancel the order in writing with no penalties or liability.

(d) Cancellation Right: If the parties cannot agree on repricing within fifteen (15) business days of Supplier's notice, Supplier may cancel Buyer's purchase order without penalty.

3.4 Taxes and Duties.

"Taxes" includes all taxes, fees, charges, duties, tariffs, surcharges, and any interest, penalties, or fines imposed by any government entity, including but not limited to: income tax, withholding tax, sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), excise tax, customs duties, import duties, digital services tax, transfer tax, and stamp duty.

Unless otherwise stated in Supplier's quotation, all prices are exclusive of Taxes. Buyer will be responsible for and will pay all Taxes, with the exception of Supplier's corporate income tax and business-and-occupation tax.

If any payment to Supplier is subject to withholding tax, Buyer will pay Supplier the gross amount such that after withholding tax is deducted, Supplier receives the full net amount due. Buyer will provide Supplier with withholding tax certificates, receipts, and compliance documentation within thirty (30) calendar days of payment.

4. PAYMENT, CREDIT, AND FINANCIAL TERMS

4.1 Payment Terms and Conditions.

(a) Default Terms: Unless Supplier offers different terms in writing, payment is due in full within thirty (30) calendar days from the invoice date, provided Supplier's credit department has approved credit terms for Buyer.

(b) Currency and Method: All payments must be in U.S. dollars (USD) via bank transfer to Supplier's designated account, or by other method specified in Supplier's invoice. Payments must be accompanied by remittance detail including, at minimum, Supplier's invoice number, amount paid, and Buyer's purchase order number.

(c) Cash-with-Order or Advance Payment: Supplier reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require payment in advance of production, shipment, or delivery for any order, regardless of Buyer's credit history. Supplier will notify Buyer of advance payment requirements in the order confirmation.

(d) Letter of Credit: For orders exceeding $250,000 or for Buyers in high-risk jurisdictions, Supplier may require an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a U.S. or international bank, payable at sight, naming Supplier as beneficiary.

4.2 Credit Evaluation and Modification.

(a) Credit Approval: Buyer may apply to Supplier's credit and collections department to establish credit terms. Supplier will evaluate Buyer's creditworthiness, payment history, financial condition, and references at Supplier's sole discretion.

(b) Continuous Evaluation: Supplier reserves the right to reevaluate Buyer's credit at any time, including following any payment default, missed delivery acceptance, or material change in Buyer's financial condition.

(c) Credit Modification: If Supplier determines that Buyer no longer qualifies for credit terms, Supplier may, without notice and without cause:

(i) Require advance payment or cash-with-order for all future orders

(ii) Require letters of credit or bank guarantees

(iii) Reduce credit limits or terms

(iv) Suspend future shipments pending payment of outstanding invoices

4.3 Late Payment and Delinquency Remedies.

(a) Interest on Late Payment: Any invoice not paid by the due date will accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law (whichever is lower), calculated on a daily basis.

(b) Collection Costs: Buyer will reimburse Supplier for all reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to: collection agency fees, court costs, discovery expenses, attorneys' fees, and interest.

(c) Remedies for Delinquency: If Buyer is delinquent in payment, Supplier may, at its sole discretion and without limiting any other remedies:

(i) Withhold future shipments and deliveries until all past-due amounts are paid in full

(ii) Repossess any Products for which payment has not been made

(iii) Declare Buyer in material breach and immediately terminate all open purchase orders

(iv) Accelerate all outstanding payment obligations and declare the entire unpaid balance immediately due and owing

(v) Refuse to process credits, refunds, or warranty adjustments

(vi) Offset amounts owed by Supplier to Buyer against amounts owed by Buyer to Supplier

(vii) Suspend all guarantees including lead times, delivery commitments, and technical support

(viii) Charge storage, inventory carrying, or warehousing fees on Products held pending payment

(ix) Report Buyer's delinquency to credit bureaus, rating agencies, and trade credit reporting services

4.4 Invoice Disputes.

(a) Dispute Notice: If Buyer disputes any invoice or portion thereof, Buyer must provide written notice to Supplier within ten (10) business days of the invoice date. The notice must specify which items are disputed and the reason for the dispute.

(b) Deemed Acceptance: Buyer's failure to provide timely written notice will be deemed acceptance of the invoice. Silent acceptance does not preserve any rights to later dispute the invoice.

(c) Partial Payment: Notwithstanding any dispute, Buyer will pay all undisputed invoice amounts by the due date. Payment of only disputed portions will not be deemed payment of undisputed amounts.

(d) Good Faith Resolution: The parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve invoice disputes within thirty (30) days of the dispute notice. If the dispute cannot be resolved within this period, either party may pursue remedies available under applicable law or pursue the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 26 of these Terms.

 

5. DELIVERY, SHIPPING, AND RISK OF LOSS

5.1 Delivery Terms (Incoterms).

Unless otherwise specified in writing by Supplier, all Products will be delivered EXW (Ex Works) at Supplier's facilities pursuant to Incoterms 2020. This means:

(a) Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for all transportation, insurance, customs clearance, and related costs from Supplier's facility to the delivery location

(b) Risk of loss and damage transfers to Buyer upon Products being made available at Supplier's location

(c) Title transfers to Buyer upon payment in full (if payment terms allow deferred payment)

5.2 Shipping and Carrier Selection.

(a) Carrier Designation: Supplier will ship Products via the carrier and transportation method specified by Buyer in the purchase order. If Buyer provides no shipping instructions, Supplier will select the carrier and method at its sole discretion.

(b) Special Handling: Any rush shipments, special routing, expedited delivery, special packing, custom labeling, hazardous material handling, temperature control, or special insurance requested by Buyer will be subject to additional charges. Supplier will quote these charges separately.

(c) Prepaid Shipping: If Supplier prepays transportation charges on Buyer's behalf, Buyer will reimburse Supplier the full amount of such charges plus five percent (5%) handling fee upon receipt of an invoice.

5.3 Delivery Schedules and Lead Times.

(a) Estimated Dates: Any estimated shipping or delivery dates provided by Supplier are based on conditions existing at the time the purchase order is placed and information provided by Buyer. These dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed commitments.

(b) No Liability for Delays: Supplier will use good faith efforts to meet estimated delivery dates but is not responsible for any damages, costs, or losses arising from late delivery or failure to meet estimated dates.

(c) Partial Shipments: Supplier may make partial shipments at any time. Partial shipments will be invoiced separately and payment will be due for each shipment according to the payment terms.

(d) Advance Shipment: Supplier may ship Products in advance of the scheduled delivery date whenever operationally feasible. Early arrival does not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept and pay for the Products.

5.4 Acceptance of Late Deliveries. Buyer's acceptance, use, or failure to reject Products after the estimated delivery date constitutes a waiver of Buyer's right to claim late delivery. Continued business dealings with Supplier following any late delivery will be deemed acceptance of future deliveries without claim for delays.

6. INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE, AND REJECTION OF PRODUCTS

6.1 Inspection Period.

(a) Timeframe: Buyer will inspect all Products within a reasonable period not to exceed ten (10) calendar days after Buyer receives the Products. If Buyer requests longer inspection periods (e.g., functional testing, airworthiness certification review), Buyer must specify the required timeframe in the purchase order; otherwise, the ten (10) day standard applies.

(b) Deemed Acceptance: Unless Supplier receives written notice of rejection within the inspection period, Products will be deemed accepted and Buyer waives all rights to subsequently reject or return the Products.

(c) Basis for Rejection: Any rejection notice must specify with particularity the reason for rejection, including photographs, test results, or other documentation supporting the claim.

6.2 Remedies for Non-Conforming Products. Once Buyer accepts Products (or is deemed to have accepted them), Buyer's remedies are limited exclusively to those set forth in Section 10 (Warranties and Disclaimer). Buyer waives all other claims, damages, and remedies.

6.3 Supplier's Options on Rejection. If Supplier determines that a Product rejection is valid, Supplier may, at its sole discretion:

(a) Replace the rejected Product at no cost (if replacement is available within a reasonable timeframe)

(b) Provide a credit toward the purchase price for the rejected Product, up to the amount already paid

(c) Refund the purchase price, less any restocking fees and return shipping costs

6.4 Return Procedures and Costs.

(a) Prior Authorization: Buyer must obtain Supplier's written return material authorization (RMA) before returning any Products. Buyer will not return Products without an RMA number.

(b) Packing and Shipping: Buyer will pack returned Products securely to prevent damage during transit in accordance with industry shipping standards. Buyer will prepay return shipping costs.

(c) Risk in Return: Risk of loss for returned Products remains with Buyer in transit, except that Supplier will reimburse Buyer for normal surface shipping costs for properly authorized returns.

(d) Improper Rejection: If Supplier determines that Buyer's rejection was improper, not supported by evidence, or fraudulent, Buyer will pay all expenses relating to the return shipment, inspection, and restocking.

6.5 Quantity Variances. Supplier's delivery of quantities within plus or minus five percent (+/−5%) of Buyer's requested quantities will be considered a complete fulfillment of the purchase order. For delivery shortages, Buyer may direct Supplier to fulfill the shortfall. For deliveries exceeding requested quantities, Buyer will either return excess Products at Buyer's cost or purchase the excess at the quoted unit price.

7. MODIFICATIONS, CHANGES, AND TERMINATION

7.1 Purchase Order Modifications.

(a) No Automatic Changes: Buyer may not unilaterally modify any purchase order. All modifications, including changes to specifications, quantity, delivery date, price, or Product interchangeability, must be requested in writing.

(b) Change Order Required: Any modification requires a written change order signed by authorized representatives of both Buyer and Supplier.

(c) Change Order Contents: Each change order must include: (i) the reason for the change; (ii) a detailed description of the requested change; (iii) the effect on specifications, price, delivery schedule, and Product interchangeability; (iv) any new part numbers or technical data; and (v) the effective date of the change.

(d) Technical Feasibility: Supplier will review all requested specification changes and will advise Buyer within ten (10) business days whether the change is technically feasible and, if feasible, what impact the change will have on unit price and delivery schedule.

(e) No Change = No Obligation: If Buyer requests a change and Supplier determines the change is not feasible or if the parties cannot agree on pricing and timeline impacts, Supplier is under no obligation to proceed with the changed order.

7.2 Purchase Order Cancellation.

(a) Cancellation for Breach: Either party may cancel a purchase order only in the event of a material default by the other party that has not been corrected within ninety (90) calendar days following written notice specifying the default and the corrective action required.

(b) Buyer-Initiated Cancellation: If Buyer requests cancellation of a purchase order for reasons other than Supplier's breach, Buyer is responsible for all termination charges, including: (i) costs incurred to date (materials, labor, overhead) calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); (ii) a reasonable profit margin on costs incurred; (iii) administrative and overhead allocation; and (iv) restocking or liquidation costs.

(c) No Cancellation Credit Without Consent: Buyer may not return Products for credit without Supplier's prior written consent. Supplier's written consent is a condition precedent to accepting any return for cancellation credits.

7.3 Supplier's Right to Suspend or Cancel. Supplier may suspend performance or cancel any purchase order without liability if:

(a) Buyer fails to make payment by the due date

(b) Buyer materially breaches these Terms or the purchase order

If no payment has been made, liability will be limited to zero (0).

(b) Sole Remedy: The limitation of liability stated in subsection (a) above constitutes the sole and exclusive remedy for any cause of action, whether arising in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence of any degree), strict liability, product liability, or otherwise.
