By purchasing the Products, Purchaser agrees and confirms that the Terms are acceptable, reasonable, and applicable to all Product sales, transactions, or deliveries involving GLB or Product. These Terms may be amended by GLB at any time, and the Terms applicable at the time of sale or delivery shall apply. Without limiting the generality of this Section1, for the sake of clarity, if GLB and Purchaser choose to transmit orders, information, payment or any other data pertaining to an order of Products through an electronic medium, then GLB and Purchaser agree that these Termsshall apply to all such transactions, unless GLB and Purchaser are party to a written agreement that expressly supersedes these Terms, in which case, the terms of such written agreement shall apply.
2. No Additional Terms. No Terms may be altered, modified, amended, or superseded without written approval from GLB. GLB objects to the inclusion of any terms or conditions that are different from or in addition to the Terms. Any conflicting warranties, terms or conditions in Purchaser’s purchase order or any other purchaser document are expressly rejected by GLB. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any changes in the scope of GLB’s deliverables that result in increases or decreases in the value of an order must have the prior written approval of GLB and Purchaser.

In the event any quantity of Product covered by any order by Purchaser cannot be delivered as a result of Purchaser’s refusal to take delivery, GLB may treat Purchaser’s refusal as a breach and will be entitled to remedies outlined hereunder or otherwise. In the event that delivery is not made at the time or times specified, then the timing of payment for the Products in such delivery shall be extended accordingly by the same number of days that the delivery is delayed.
5. Risk of Loss and Title. Title and risk of loss to the Products shall pass to Purchaser Ex Works (GLB’s warehouse) (Incoterms 2020 Rules).

Purchaser’s receipt of any Product from GLB shall be an unqualified acceptance of, and waiver by, Purchaser of any and all claims with respect to such Product unless Purchaser gives GLB written notice of claim within ten (10) days after such receipt. Purchaser’s notification shall provide a detailed description and such other information as requested by GLB regarding the nature of the claim or objection. Notice by Purchaser under this provision is only effective if written objection is received by GLB within the time provided by this paragraph and if no such notice is received, the Product is conclusively accepted by Purchaser and Purchaser waives all claims with respect to such Products. GLB shall not be responsible for any claims which are not made in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. All Product claimed as non-conforming for whatever reason shall be properly protected and held intact by Purchaser until settlement or other resolution is made or agreed in writing. All returned Product requires GLB’s prior written authorization and is subject to a reasonable restocking fee.

The decision and award determined through any such arbitration shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and GLB. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If, for whatever reason, the arbitration rules are determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if GLB elects not to arbitrate any dispute, any contract or other agreement regarding the purchase of Product from GLB shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware, USA. Jurisdiction for any court proceedings arising out of, or related to, any purchase of any Product from GLB lies exclusively in the state courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Should any of the foregoing occur, upon notice to Purchaser, GLB’s performance may be extended for a time equivalent to the delay. Nothing in this paragraph shall excuse Purchaser from its obligation to make timely payment for the Purchase of any Product.
