All packaging materials shall be suitable for the nature of the Goods and the method of transportation.

1.4 Substitutions

Seller shall not substitute any materials, components, or specifications for those described in this Purchase Order without the prior written consent of Buyer.

2.3 Payment Terms

Unless otherwise specified in this Purchase Order, payment terms shall be net thirty (30) days from the later of: (a) the date of receipt of a proper invoice; or (b) the date of receipt and acceptance of the Goods. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of the Goods and shall be subject to adjustment for errors, shortages, defects, or other failure of Seller to meet the requirements of this Purchase Order.

Unless otherwise stated, prices do not include sales, use, excise, or similar taxes. Seller shall separately itemize any applicable taxes on each invoice.

3. Delivery

3.1 Delivery Schedule

Seller shall deliver the Goods to the delivery location specified in this Purchase Order on or before delivery_date (the "Delivery Date").

3.4 Notification of Delays

Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing of any actual or anticipated delay in delivery, specifying the cause of the delay and the estimated revised delivery date. Such notification shall not relieve Seller of its obligation to deliver the Goods by the Delivery Date or constitute a waiver of Buyer's rights and remedies arising from such delay.

If Seller fails or anticipates failing to deliver the Goods by the Delivery Date, Seller shall, at Buyer's request and at Seller's expense, use expedited shipping or take other measures necessary to meet the Delivery Date or minimize the delay.

4.1 Right of Inspection

Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Goods at any reasonable time and place, including during manufacture, processing, or storage at Seller's facilities. Seller shall provide Buyer and its representatives with reasonable access to Seller's facilities and shall cooperate with all inspection activities. Buyer's inspection of the Goods shall not relieve Seller of any of its obligations under this Purchase Order.

4.2 Acceptance and Rejection

Buyer shall have a reasonable period of time following delivery to inspect and either accept or reject the Goods. Buyer may reject any Goods that do not conform to the requirements of this Purchase Order. Buyer's payment for or use of any Goods shall not constitute acceptance thereof and shall not limit Buyer's right to reject non-conforming Goods.

Goods rejected by Buyer shall be held at Seller's risk and expense pending Seller's instructions. If Seller does not provide instructions within ten (10) business days of receiving notice of rejection, Buyer may, at its option: (a) return the rejected Goods to Seller at Seller's expense; (b) hold the rejected Goods for Seller's account at Seller's expense; or (c) dispose of the rejected Goods in a commercially reasonable manner.

4.4 Cure

Upon notification of rejection, Seller shall promptly, at Seller's expense, either repair or replace the rejected Goods in accordance with the requirements of this Purchase Order. Seller's obligation to cure shall not limit Buyer's right to terminate this Purchase Order for Seller's breach or to pursue any other rights or remedies available under this Purchase Order or applicable law.
