(updated 2011-09) DimOnOff Terms and Conditions ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS/TERMS DimOnOff reserves the right to reject any order. Possession of a price list does not constitute an offer to sell. Orders shall be initiated by the Buyer issuing a Purchase Order or otherwise placing an order by electronic means acceptable to DimOnOff. Orders shall identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers, descriptions, applicable prices and requested delivery dates. Acceptance of any order by DimOnOff is expressly conditioned on the Customer’s assent to the terms and conditions set forth herein (“Terms”) and the waiver by the Customer of any terms and conditions contained in any order form, confirmation, or any other communication of the Customer, whether previously or hereafter delivered to DimOnOff, which either add to, differ from, modify, conflict with, or are otherwise inconsistent with any term or condition herein. DimOnOff hereby gives notice of its objection to any additional or different terms or conditions in any such order form, confirmation, or communication. The Customer’s failure to object in writing to these terms prior to the earlier of the Customer’s acceptance of the products ordered or fifteen (15) days after delivery thereof to the Customer will constitute agreement by the Customer to these Terms. DimOnOff hereby gives notice of its objection to any additional or different terms or conditions in any such order form, confirmation or communication. HOLD FOR RELEASE ORDERS An order may be placed on a hold-for-release status. Prices are firm for 3 months from date of order acceptance. The price of all hold-for-release orders not released by the Customer for immediate shipment within 3 months from the date of order acceptance will be increased up to 10% over initial order price to cover increased cost of labour and material. All hold-for release orders not released for immediate shipment within 6 months from the date of order acceptance may be cancelled by DimOnOff and subject to a 25% cancellation charge based on the price of the order. PRODUCT CHANGES DimOnOff reserves the right to discontinue the manufacture or sale of any product (“DimOnOff Product”) at any time or to alter, modify, change part number designation or redesign the DimOnOff Products. PRICES Prices are subject to change without notice. All prices are in Canadian or United States Dollars as specified on invoices. International payment terms are cash in advance or irrevocable, confirmed letter of credit, due at site. In the event of a price increase, all accepted orders on hand will be filled at lower prices provided such orders are released for shipping prior to the effective date of the price increase. If the orders are not released for shipment prior to the price increase, the orders will be billed at prices in effect at the time of shipment. (Special quoted orders that cannot be released for shipping prior to the price increase may be subject to an increase in price.) In the event any governmental action or request should prevent DimOnOff from implementing any price or continuing any price already in effect, DimOnOff may at its option cancel the Customer’s order or any part thereof. TAXES/DUTIES All prices are exclusive of federal, state, provincial or local sales, use or other taxes, as well as all duties, import fees or other assessments all of which are the responsibility of the Customer.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing. All invoices, whether partial or in full, shall be due and payable in full by the Customer pursuant to the terms set forth thereon. Invoices not timely paid are subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month – 18% per year, or the maximum rate allowed by law, which interest charges shall accrue beginning on the invoice due date. If the Customer becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy, makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has a receiver or trustee appointed for it or its property; or takes action to liquidate or otherwise cease doing business as a going concern; or undergoes a change in ownership; or fails to provide adequate assurance or security for credit extended; or takes any other action that DimOnOff determines in its sole discretion adversely impacts the conditions under which credit was extended, then all amounts outstanding from the Customer hereunder shall at DimOnOff’s option become immediately due and payable.
