    2. Order Terms

  2. Orders: All Sales Orders accepted by ChargeSpot shall be governed by these Terms and by any additional terms and conditions, which are expressly agreed upon by authorized representatives of the parties in writing. ChargeSpot shall have no obligation to accept any purchase order or order request.

  3. Modifications to Orders; Changes: All requests for order modifications to Sales Orders must be submitted in writing to ChargeSpot and will not bind ChargeSpot unless agreed to in writing by an authorized ChargeSpot signing officer. ChargeSpot reserves the right to introduce improvements, enhancements, modifications or substitutions for any services, products or product components supplied, notwithstanding any specific provision of these Terms or a Purchase Order, provided that such modification or substitution maintains or does not introduce a material degradation in the overall performance of the product.

  4. Payment and Currency: Customer shall pay to ChargeSpot the fees set out in the applicable Purchase Order. Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order or invoice issued by ChargeSpot, payment shall be due within thirty (30) days from the date of the ChargeSpot invoice. All product prices and amounts payable shall be payable in the currency indicated on the Purchase Order. If any payment, or any other sum due to ChargeSpot under these Terms, becomes past due for more than thirty (30) days, ChargeSpot may, without declaring Customer to be in default, charge Customer a late payment charge of one point five percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate legally permitted, whichever is less. All fees exclude all taxes, which the Customer shall pay to ChargeSpot.

    5. Warranty Provisions

  5. Product Warranty. ChargeSpot's sole warranty obligation for any product that is or becomes defective in material or workmanship within twelve (12) months from the date of shipment shall be limited to the replacement or repair of the defective goods or services free of charge. ChargeSpot's warranty obligations hereunder are contingent upon the following conditions: ChargeSpot is promptly notified of the defect; Customer establishes to ChargeSpot's reasonable satisfaction that any goods have been properly operated; the goods were not materially altered; and upon ChargeSpot's request, Customer will return the defective goods or part thereof to ChargeSpot.

  6. Warranty Claims Procedure: All claims must be made in writing during the warranty period and within thirty (30) days of the date the warranty breach is discovered or should have reasonably been discovered. Claims outside of the warranty period will be invalid. The Customer is required to arrange for all product shipments to ChargeSpot for warranty repair and is responsible for all shipping and handling costs to ChargeSpot’s facilities. ChargeSpot will pay reasonable return shipping and handling charges, provided the warranty claim is found by ChargeSpot to be valid.

  1. Warranty Repair or Replacement: ChargeSpot will either repair or replace, at ChargeSpot’s sole option, any product, which fails during the warranty period due to a defect in workmanship and/or materials, or to refund the purchase price (upon return of the product, if requested by ChargeSpot), the choice of which is at ChargeSpot’s sole option. All replaced products (or components thereof) shall become ChargeSpot’s property.

  2. Warranty Limitations: The foregoing are the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies and ChargeSpot’s sole and exclusive obligations and liabilities for breach of the warranty by ChargeSpot. All warranties shall immediately become null and void should ChargeSpot, in its sole discretion, determine that the products have been subject to unauthorized modification, misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, or handling or if the serial number and/or other identifying markings have been defaced, removed or altered.
