Daicel Arbor Biosciences – GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions: These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Conditions”) shall govern all orders for and purchases of goods and services from Biodiscovery LLC, d/b/a Daicel Arbor Biosciences (“Daicel Arbor”). In these Conditions, the term “Purchaser” means the person, company or other legal entity that orders or buys goods or services from Daicel Arbor along with their respective successors and/or assigns. Daicel Arbor and Purchaser are collectively referred to as the Parties. Daicel Arbor’s sale of goods and services is subject to these Conditions and Daicel Arbor’s offer to sell goods and services is expressly conditioned upon Purchaser’s acceptance of these Conditions. Daicel Arbor’s failure to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other form or document from Purchaser shall neither be construed as a waiver of these Conditions nor an acceptance of any such provision. These Conditions, including all writings incorporated herein by reference, and those specific terms of a purchase order or other document that are either consistent with these Conditions or expressly agreed upon by both Parties in writing, constitute the entire contract between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof (the “Contract”), and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties, whether written or oral, and any of Purchaser’s additional or different terms and conditions, which are hereby rejected and shall be void.
2. Delivery and Inspection: Unless specified differently in writing, Daicel Arbor shall ship all sales F.O.B. from its shipping point. Unless documented elsewhere, title of the product transfers to the buyer upon shipment. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of goods shipped hereunder, Purchaser shall inspect the goods and notify Daicel Arbor in writing of any claims for shortages, defects or damages. Should Purchaser fail to notify Daicel Arbor in writing of any such visible shortages, defects or damages within five (5) days after Purchaser receives the goods, the goods shall conclusively be deemed to conform to these Conditions and to have been irrevocably accepted by Purchaser. Any products which are custom and specific to the customer or shipped to the customer site in a temperature-controlled environment (i.e. frozen or on dry-ice), cannot be returned for credit. Customer shall have no right to cancel any purchase order or to reschedule any scheduled delivery of products covered by a purchase order, except with Daicel Arbor’s written permission.

If Daicel Arbor deems Purchaser to be or to have become a credit risk, Daicel Arbor shall have the right to require alternative payment terms, including without limitation sight draft, letter of credit, or payment in advance. If payment is not received by the due date, Daicel Arbor may assess and Purchaser agrees to pay a late payment charge at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, of the amount due from the due date to the date of payment. If Daicel Arbor retains a collection agency or attorney to collect unpaid amounts, Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of all reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Daicel Arbor.
