BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

The following are the terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") for the sale of products ("Products") by Digital Rep to Digital Rep’s customers ("Customers").

1. ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by Digital Rep or a duly authorized agent of Digital Rep. Any written acknowledgement of receipt of an order shall not, in and of itself, constitute such acceptance. Orders accepted by Digital Rep may be cancelled by Customer upon written consent of Digital Rep provided such order is not "NC/NR" or "Non-Cancelable/Non-Returnable", "Non-Standard Products"; or governed by a Purchase Agreement Letter. Non-Standard Products are defined as Products that are special orders, custom orders, orders for non-standard products, products not customarily in stock or orders for value-added products. Non-standard products are non-cancelable and non-refundable. In the event of cancellation or other withdrawal of an order for any reason, and without limiting any other remedy which Digital Rep may have as a result of such cancellation or other withdrawal, reasonable cancellation or restocking charges shall include all expenses incurred and commitments made by Digital Rep, and shall be paid by Customer to Digital Rep. Customer requests to reschedule are subject to acceptance by Digital Rep in its sole discretion. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after the order has been submitted by Digital Rep to the shipment carrier. Digital Rep reserves the right to allocate sales and limit quantities of selected Products among its customers in its sole discretion. Product specifications and availability are subject to change without prior notice.

1a. Returns

Customer must notify Digital Rep within 90 days from date of shipment of any defective product. (See DIGITAL REP'S LIMITED WARRANTY for further information.) Returns are normally accepted when completed within 30 days of the ship date. If Digital Rep agrees to accept a return, return freight charges must be prepaid by customer.

Digital Rep will not accept COD shipments. The foregoing statements concerning Returns do not apply to NON-CANCELABLE/NON-RETURNABLE PRODUCTS. (See the NON-CANCELABLE/NON-RETURNABLE PRODUCTS section in these terms.)
 

1b. Counterfeit Product Prevention Clause

Only products originally shipped from Digital Rep or from a supplier at Digital Rep's direction (drop-ship) will be returned to Digital Rep. All others will be promptly quarantined and disposed of or returned to the customer. By a Customer returning products to Digital Rep, the Customer certifies that the products were purchased from Digital Rep and there has been no substitution in whole or part of same product from another supplier, distributor or other such source of the product. The return should be in the original packaging (manufacturer or Digital Rep), in unused condition (except defective). ESD sensitive products should not be opened except under controlled conditions.

2. PRICES

Orders are billed at the prices in effect at the time of shipment. Prices will be as specified by Digital Rep and will be applicable for the period specified in Digital Rep's quote. If no period is specified, quoted prices will be applicable for thirty (30) days. The catalog reflects the latest pricing information available at the time of printing. Prices shown in the catalog are subject to change without notice. Prices are subject to increase in the event of an increase in Digital Rep's costs or other circumstances beyond Digital Rep's reasonable control. If Customer does not purchase the quantity upon which quantity prices are based, Customer will pay the non-discounted price for the quantity actually purchased and/or a cancellation or restocking fee. Prices are exclusive of taxes, impositions, and other charges, including sales, use, excise, value-added and similar taxes, or charges imposed by any government authority, international shipping charges, forwarding agent's and broker's fees, bank fees, consular fees, and document fees.

3. TERMS OF PAYMENT

All payments must be made in the currency billed on the original invoice. Credit cards accepted include major credit cards, purchase cards, and major bank debit cards including MasterCard, VISA, Diners Club, Discover, and American Express. Credit Card billing information must be verified on new customers prior to shipment of order. Payment via net thirty (30) days is available to businesses, schools, and agencies with three references or as otherwise specified by Digital Rep.

Prepaid Wire Transfer/EFT/Proforma: Customers can wire the funds to our bank. After your order is placed, we will e-mail a Proforma invoice which includes our bank information, the merchandise total and shipping charges. We will reserve stock for your order for 72 hours on orders awaiting funds. Orders will be canceled after 20 business days if funds have not been received. Customer is responsible for duties and taxes.

3.1 TERMS OF PAYMENT

For All Orders, Customer agrees to pay the entire net amount of each invoice from Digital Rep pursuant to the terms of each such invoice, without offset or deduction. Orders are subject to credit approval by Digital Rep, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer's credit, require payment in cash, bank wire transfer/EFT or by official bank check, and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Customer's order before shipment of any or all of the Products. If Digital Rep reasonably believes that the Customer's ability to make payments may be impaired or if Customer fails to pay any invoice when due, Digital Rep may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof, until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof. Customer will remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and all Non-Standard Products ordered by Customer. Customer agrees to submit such financial information as Digital Rep may reasonably require for determination of credit terms and/or continuation of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by Digital Rep against any obligation owing by Customer to Digital Rep under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer's liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to Digital Rep. The acceptance by Digital Rep of such a check will not constitute a waiver of Digital Rep's right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make payment when due, Digital Rep may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event Digital Rep will be entitled to reimbursement of costs for collection and reasonable attorneys' fees. There is a $25 (USD) service charge on all returned checks.

4. SALES TAX

US SHIPMENTS

​

When required by law Digital Rep will collect Federal, State and/or Local sale, use, excise, and other taxes that apply to a Customer's shipment. These taxes are in addition to the purchase price of the Products subject to an order.

Customer will remit the correct tax unless customer is tax exempt and Digital Rep has a valid signed tax exemption certificate on file.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS

We will only ship to the United Sates of America. No international orders will be accepted.

5. DELIVERY AND TITLE

All shipments by Digital Rep are F.O.B. point of shipment from Digital Rep's facility and the amount of all transportation charges will be paid to Digital Rep by the Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products.
 

Subject to Digital Rep's right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier will constitute delivery to Customer and title and risk of loss will pass to Customer. Digital Rep will make reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Customer's requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Digital Rep are estimates only and that Digital Rep will not be liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by Digital Rep unless specifically designated by Customer. Digital Rep reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s). Delivery of any installment of Products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Delivery of a quantity that varies from the quantity specified
shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.

manufacturer of Products sold to Customer. Digital Rep makes no other warranty, express or implied, with respect to the Products.
