LUMENPULSE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE - PDF
August 8, 2022
These Standard Terms and Conditions of sale ("Standard Terms") shall govern all sales transactions between LMPG Inc. and its affiliates ("Lumenpulse") and the customer whose name appears on Lumenpulse's purchase order (the "Customer"), and neither the Customer's purchase order nor any other writing from the Customer shall be binding or have any force or effect on Lumenpulse. Lumenpulse's acceptance of all orders and all offers and sales by Lumenpulse are subject to and expressly conditioned upon Customer's assent to these Standard Terms. Customer's acceptance of any offer by Lumenpulse must be made on such terms and conditions exactly as offered by Lumenpulse. These Standard Terms are effective for all sales of Lumenpulse products from and after the date indicated above. Customers who do not accept these Standard Terms should not order or accept delivery of products from Lumenpulse. Acceptance of Lumenpulse products by Customer or ordering Lumenpulse products shall be deemed Customer's assent to these Standard Terms. Commencement of performance or shipment shall not be construed as acceptance of any of Customer's terms and conditions which are different from or in addition to these Standard Terms. These Standard Terms may be amended from time to time by Lumenpulse and shall govern any additional Customer orders made after such amended Standard Terms are made public. These Standard Terms, in conjunction with the applicable Lumenpulse invoice, include all the terms, warranties, and conditions pertaining to each transaction between the Customer and Lumenpulse, and can in no way be altered, modified or changed unless agreed to in writing by a Lumenpulse authorized officer. Any of Customer's terms and conditions which are different from or in addition to Lumenpulse's terms and conditions are objected to by Lumenpulse and shall be of no effect unless specifically agreed to in writing by Lumenpulse.
ORDERS, PRICING, CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
All orders must be accepted in writing by Lumenpulse. Once accepted by Lumenpulse, all orders are final and any change or cancellation request by the Customer will be subject to modification or cancellation charges. A minimum modification or cancellation charge of 30% of the selling price shall be applied to any released order of standard products. A modification or cancellation charge of 100% of the selling price shall be applied to any released order of custom products. Partial cancellations may affect the freight charges which will be adjusted in accordance to the total value of the order after the cancellation. Additions to orders, which have already been processed, will be considered separate orders for purposes of determining freight charges. Lumenpulse reserves the right to refuse modification or cancellation requests at its own discretion. Lumenpulse reserves the right to put on hold or cancel (or cancel any order on hold) any previously accepted order pending resolution to Lumenpulse's satisfaction of any Customer credit issue; in the case of such a hold, prices are confirmed for ninety (90) days during such hold from the date the order was first accepted.
Prices do not include any taxes of any nature (including without limitation VAT, excise taxes, customs duties, or federal, state or local sales taxes) or other government charges (collectively, the "Taxes"). All such Taxes are the responsibility of the Customer and shall be paid by the Customer. Lumenpulse may include any such Taxes in the same invoice to the Customer as the Lumenpulse products or in a separate invoice. Payment by Lumenpulse of any such Taxes does not relieve the Customer of payment responsibility, and all such amounts paid on the Customer's behalf shall be amounts owed by the Customer to Lumenpulse on demand. Lumenpulse reserves the right to correct clerical and typographical errors in any term or price.
PAYMENT TERMS
Unless otherwise provided elsewhere in these Standard Terms or in a Lumenpulse invoice, terms are net 30 days from the date of the invoice. Lumenpulse will assess a 11/2% monthly service charge (or such lesser amount as permitted by law) to all past due accounts. The Customer will be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by Lumenpulse, including reasonable legal fees, in collecting any amount owing under a past due account.
Payment terms are subject to review of the Customer's credit. Lumenpulse shall have the right, from time to time, as a condition of the acceptance of an order or of the product shipment of an accepted order, to require assurance of payment satisfactory to Lumenpulse. Such assurance may take the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or any other form as decided by Lumenpulse. All amounts owed and payments to Lumenpulse shall be without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim.
Should the Customer be required by law to withhold amounts otherwise due to Lumenpulse, then the Customer's payments to Lumenpulse shall be increased to such an amount as is equal to the amount owed Lumenpulse not including the withheld.
The Customer hereby grants Lumenpulse a security interest in the Lumenpulse products sold to it until payment of the full purchase price, including, without limitation, any shipping costs and charges and Taxes is made to Lumenpulse. The Customer agrees to execute any financing statements or other documents as Lumenpulse requests to perfect, protect or maintain Lumenpulse's security interests.

RETURNS
End Users (those purchasing products directly from Customers of Lumenpulse, and not from Lumenpulse) should direct all inquiries for returns to the Customer from whom the End User purchased the products, and not Lumenpulse.
Customers wishing to return a product must first contact Lumenpulse directly and obtain a Return Goods Authorization ("RGA") number. Lumencore spare and replacement parts are non-Returnable.
Customers may contact Lumenpulse Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. by speaking to their Inside Sales Representative at 514- 937-3003 and stating the reason for the requested return.
If the reason for return is due to an alleged breach of the terms of the product's limited warranty, Lumenpulse shall send a RGA form to be completed and included with the returned product. If the reason for return is other than an alleged breach of the terms of the product's limited warranty, Lumenpulse may or may not issue a RGA, at Lumenpulse's sole discretion; in such a case, Lumenpulse will not consider a return (i) beyond 90 days from original invoice date, or (ii) for products that are not in resalable condition (including, for example and without limitation, because the products were used in a manner or otherwise subjected to conditions that would otherwise void the limited warranty). In any case, if a Product is returned to Lumenpulse without a valid RGA number, delivery shall be refused and the Customer shall be liable for all return shipping costs and charges, including, as applicable, all Taxes.
If a RGA number is issued, it is valid for thirty (30) days. Products not returned to Lumenpulse within such timeframe shall not be eligible for any return, regardless of reason, and delivery shall be refused. If a RGA number is issued, the Customer shall be responsible for all shipment costs and charges to Lumenpulse, including, as applicable, all Taxes. When returning a product to Lumenpulse, do not write on product box (including, without limitation, writing the RGA number or product description); doing so will result in a charge to cover any required replacements.
Whatever the reason a RGA number is issued, the Customer shall bear sole risk for any product loss or damage while in transit
Under no circumstance with Lumenpulse accept delivery of a product without a valid RGA number.
RETURNS DUE TO ALLEGED PRODUCT DEFECT
If, upon inspection, Lumenpulse determines that a product has breached the terms of its limited warranty, Lumenpulse shall reimburse the Customer for the Customer's shipment costs and charges and all Taxes in returning the Product to Lumenpulse, but only up to the amount of standard UPS non-expedited surface charges from the Customer's destination to Montreal. If Lumenpulse determines that it shall repair or replace a product that has breached the terms of its limited warranty, shipping terms and procedures for such repaired or replaced product shall be as above stated in "Shipment/Delivery", except that Lumenpulse, so long as it determines routing and mode of transportation, shall be responsible for all shipping costs and charges and all Taxes.
If, upon inspection, Lumenpulse determines that a product has not breached the terms of its limited warranty, Lumenpulse shall return the product to the Customer at the Customer's expense, and otherwise according to the terms and procedures as above stated in "Shipment/Delivery", provided that the Customer prepays the shipping costs and charges and Taxes and pays Lumenpulse an additional testing charge of 15% of the product price; if the Customer does not pay such costs and charges and Taxes within 90 days of invoice, Lumenpulse shall be under no obligation to return the products to the Customer, which shall become the property of Lumenpulse. If the product is delivered to Lumenpulse with missing or damaged parts or components, additional charges will result to cover any required replacements.
RETURNS NOT DUE TO ALLEGED PRODUCT DEFECT
If, upon inspection, Lumenpulse determines in its sole discretion that a returned product is in resalable condition (for purposes of clarity and without limitation, a product will not be in resalable condition if used in a manner or otherwise subjected to conditions that would otherwise void the limited warranty) then Lumenpulse shall replace the product for a comparable product at the Customer's expense, and otherwise according to the terms and procedures as above stated in "Shipment/Delivery", provided that the Customer prepays the shipping costs and charges and Taxes and pays Lumenpulse a restocking fee of 50% of the product price; if the Customer does not pay such costs and charges and Taxes and fees within 90 days of invoice, Lumenpulse shall be under no obligation to return the products to the Customer, which shall become the property of Lumenpulse. If the product is delivered to Lumenpulse with missing or damaged parts or components, additional charges will result to cover any required replacements.
RESALES
If the Customer is authorized by Lumenpulse to resell Products to End Users, the terms of sale shall be these Standard Terms, and, unless otherwise provided for in these Standard Terms, all references to Lumenpulse shall instead be references to Customer and all references to Customer shall instead be references to such End User. Even if authorized by Lumenpulse to resell products to End Users, the Customer may not (i) resell any product via the internet, (ii) resell products for integration into a third party's lighting products, or (iii) remove or modify any Lumenpulse patent notices or trademarks from a product, its packaging, or its supporting materials.

Customer shall not settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim without Lumenpulse's consent unless the settlement, compromise or consent provides for and includes an express, unconditional release of all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, against Lumenpulse.
