2. CANCELLATION. Customer may cancel hardware orders subject to fair charges for AE’s expenses including handling, inspection, restocking, labor, freight and invoicing charges as applicable, provided that Customer returns such goods to AE at Customer’s expense within 30 days of delivery and in the same condition as received. Inspections and re-instatement fees may apply after cancellation. Special Order hardware is non-returnable and non-refundable. Customer may cancel professional service orders with ninety (90) day’s prior written notice and refunds will be prorated to exclude services provided prior to the cancellation date. Software subscriptions are non-cancellable for the duration of the subscription term. AE may cancel all or part of any order prior to delivery without liability if the order includes any hardware that AE determines may not comply with export, safety, local certification, or other applicable compliance requirements.

Also Energy must be notified of any discrepancies between the packing list and actual shipment contents within 30 days following the receipt of shipment. Also Energy will not be responsible for replacement parts or shipping costs after the 30-day inspection period has expired. Legal title and risk of loss or damage pass to Customer upon transfer to the first carrier. AE will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the AE Technology ordered herein within AE’s normal lead-time necessary for AE to deliver the AE Technology sold hereunder. Upon prior agreement with Customer and for an additional charge, AE will deliver the AE Technology on an expedited basis.

Prices do not include any charges for services such as insurance; brokerage fees; sales, use, inventory or excise taxes; import or export duties; special financing fees; VAT, income or royalty taxes imposed outside the U.S.; consular fees; special permits or licenses; or other charges imposed upon the production, sale, distribution, or delivery of AE Technology unless otherwise stated. Customer will either pay any and all such charges or provide AE with acceptable exemption certificates which obligation survives performance under this Agreement. AE reserves the right to establish minimum order sizes and will advise Customer accordingly.
5. PAYMENTS. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars. Orders are subject to credit review. Invoices for all other orders are due and payable NET 30 DAYS from date of the invoice without regard to delays for inspection or transportation, with payments to be made to the account stated on the front of AE’s invoice, or for customers with no established credit, AE may require cash or credit card payment in advance of delivery. All payment obligations of Customer for software are non-cancelable, and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. In the event payments are not made or not made in a timely manner, AE may, in addition to all other remedies provided at law, either: (a) declare Customer’s performance in breach and terminate this Agreement for default; (b) withhold future shipments until delinquent payments are made; (c) deliver future shipments on a cash- with-order or cash-in-advance basis even after the delinquency is cured; (d) charge interest on the delinquency at a rate of 1-1/2% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, if lower, for each month or part thereof of delinquency in payment plus applicable storage charges and/or inventory carrying charges; (e) recover all costs of collection including reasonable attorney’s fees; or (f) combine any of the above rights and remedies as is practicable and permitted by law. Customer is prohibited from setting off any and all monies owed under this from any other sums, whether liquidated or not, that are or may be due Customer, which arise out of a different transaction with AE or any of its affiliates. Should Customer’s financial responsibility become unsatisfactory to AE in its reasonable discretion, AE may require cash payment or other security. If Customer fails to meet these requirements, AE may treat such failure as reasonable grounds for repudiation of this Agreement, in which case reasonable cancellation charges shall be due AE.
