and Conditions of Sale shall apply.
Metrologic
Instruments , Inc.
Terms and Conditions of Sale
An
order to Metrologic for products ("Products") shall be accepted
only under the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the "Agreement")
and is expressly made conditional on your assent to the terms and conditions
contained in the Agreement. Acceptance of goods shipped or services
provided by Metrologic signify that you (referred to in these terms and
conditions as "you" or as "Buyer") automatically accept the terms
of the Agreement. Verbal representations, unless contained in this
document, shall not be enforceable under the Agreement.

our order entry staff. Your credit card account will be charged
when your order is processed. The total price for the Products
and Services will be stated on your invoice. (b) Prices and configurations
advertised are subject to change without notice or obligation prior
to acceptance of your order. (c) Product prices advertised do
not include any shipping and handling charges nor do they include any
applicable export fees. (d) Product prices do not include any
federal, state, municipal or other government excise, custom duties,
sales, use, occupational or like taxes in force and any such taxes shall
be assumed and paid for by Buyer.
- Title
& Delivery. (a) At Metrologics option, shipment will be FOB
Metrologic's Blackwood, New Jersey Manufacturing facility, or its distribution
center of choice. Risk of loss or damage shall pass from Metrologic
to Buyer upon delivery to common carrier or Buyer's representative at
the FOB point, Metrologic's
Blackwood, New Jersey Manufacturing facility,
or its distribution center of choice. Buyer shall be responsibility
for insurance. All claims for damage must be filed by Buyer directly
with carrier; (b) Metrologic will select the carrier for shipment, but
by doing so, will not thereby assume any liability in connection with
shipment nor shall the carrier in any way be construed to be the agent
of Metrologic;
(c) Metrologic
shall
not be liable for any damages or penalty for delay caused solely by
transportation or failure to give notice of such delay.
- Software.
All software (including firmware) furnished to Buyer is on a licensed
basis. Metrologic
grants to Buyer a non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use
each software or firmware program delivered hereunder ("Licensed Program").
Each such license granted authorizes Buyer to use the Licensed Program
in machine-readable form only, and in the case of software supplied
with hardware, only on systems supplied by Metrologic
to Buyer under this Agreement. Such license may not be assigned,
sublicensed or otherwise transferred by Buyer without prior written
consent of Metrologic,
except that, regarding any Licensed Program embodied in a Product, the
transfer of such Product shall convey to Buyer's transferee a license
to use such Licensed Program under terms commensurate with the License
set forth in this Agreement. No right to copy a Licensed Program
in whole or in part is granted except as permitted under the Copyright
Law. Buyer shall not modify, merge, or incorporate any form or
portion of a Licensed Program with other program material, create a
derivative work from a Licensed Program, or use a Licensed Program in
a network. Buyer agrees to maintain Metrologic's
copyright notice on the Licensed Programs delivered hereunder, and to
include the same on any authorized copies it makes, in whole or in part.
Buyer agrees not to decompile, disassemble, decode or reverse engineer
any Licensed Program delivered to Buyer or any portion thereof.
- Infringement
Indemnification. Metrologic
shall
defend any claim, suit or proceeding brought against Buyer insofar as
it is based on a claim that the use or transfer of any Product delivered
hereunder constitutes an infringement of a United States patent or copyright
in existence as of the date of delivery of the Product to Buyer (an
"Infringement Claim") so long as Metrologic
is
notified promptly in writing by Buyer as to any such action and is given
full authority, information and assistance (at Metrologic's
expense) for the defense. In addition to Metrologic's
obligation to defend, Metrologic
shall pay all damages and costs (except consequential damages) awarded
therein against Buyer. The obligations set forth above shall not,
however, extend to Products delivered hereunder which would give rise
to a claim, suit, proceeding, finding or conclusion solely for contributory
infringement or inducement of infringement. Metrologic
shall not be responsible for any compromise made by Buyer without its
consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Infringement
Claim, Metrologic's
obligation under this paragraph shall be fulfilled, at Metrologic's
sole option and expense, if Metrologic
at any time: (a) obtains a license for Buyer to continue the use or
to sell the infringing Product purchased from Metrologic;
or (b) refunds the purchase price paid to Metrologic
by
Buyer for such infringing Product less a reasonable amount for use,
damage, or obsolescence, and removes such Product; or (c) replaces or
modifies the infringing product so as to be substantially functionally
equivalent to the infringing Product without infringment. Buyer agrees
that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply and moreover, shall
be extended to Metrologic
for
any claim of U.S. patent infringement which may be brought against Metrologic
because
of compliance with Buyer's particular design requirements, specifications
or instructions. Buyer grants to Metrologic
the benefit of any license to Buyer under any patent which may be the
subject of an infringement allegation hereunder to the extent permitted
by said license. Metrologic
shall
have no liability to Buyer under this paragraph if any Infringement
Claim is based upon the (i) use of Products delivered hereunder in connection
or in combination with equipment, devices or software not delivered
by Metrologic,
or (ii) use of Products delivered hereunder in a manner for which the
same were not designed, or (iii) modification by Buyer of Products delivered
hereunder to the extent such modification is the cause of the claim
or suit. Metrologic
shall
further have no liability to Buyer for any Infringement Claim based
on Buyer's use or transfer of the Product delivered hereunder after
Metrologic's
notice that Buyer shall cease use or transfer of such Product due to
such claim. EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, METROLOGIC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
AND INDEMNITIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, FOR PATENT OR COPYRIGHT
INFRINGEMENT.

unmodified and is operated under normal and proper conditions.
The sole obligation of Metrologic
for
defective hardware Products is limited to repair or replacement (at
Metrologic's
option) on a "return to factory" basis with prior Metrologic
authorization. Shipment to and from Metrologic

Buyer for repair or replacement parts. (b) The aforementioned
provisions do not extend the original warranty period of any Product
that had either been repaired or replaced by Metrologic.

been repaired or altered, except by Metrologic;

OF TITLE AND THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED ABOVE, METROLOGIC
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES ON PRODUCTS FURNISHED HEREUNDER INCLUDING ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE.
The stated express warranties are in lieu of all obligations or liabilities
on the part of Metrologic
for damages, including but not limited to, special, indirect or consequential
damages arising out of or in connection with the use or performance
of the product or service. Metrologic's
liability for damages to Buyer or others resulting from the use of any
Product or service furnished hereunder shall in no way exceed the purchase
price of said Product or the fair market value of said service, except
in instances of injury to persons or property.

(a) Notices or other communications required by this Agreement shall
be in writing, sent by courier, and shall be deemed to have been duly

- Force
Majeure. Shipping dates acknowledged by Metrologic
are approximate and Metrologic
will not be liable for any loss or damage due to its failure to meet
scheduled shipping dates. Metrologic
shall in no event be liable for any delay or default in its performance
of any obligation under this Agreement caused directly or indirectly
by an act or omission of Buyer, fire, flood, act of God, acts of Government,
an act or omission of civil or military authority of a state or nation,
strike, lockout or other labor problem, inability to secure, delay in
securing or shortage of labor, materials, supplies, transportation or
energy, failures of subcontractors or suppliers, or by war, riot, embargo
or civil disturbance, breakdown, or destruction of plant or equipment
arising from any cause whatsoever, or any cause or causes beyond Metrologic's
reasonable control. At Metrologic's
option and following notice to Buyer, any of the foregoing causes shall
be deemed to suspend such obligations of Metrologic
as
long as any such cause shall prevent or delay performance, and Metrologic
agrees
to make and Buyer agrees to accept performance of such obligations whenever
such cause has been remedied.
- Disputes.
If legal proceedings are commenced to resolve a dispute arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled
to recover all of its costs, attorney fees, and expert witness fees,
including any cost or attorney fees in connection with any appeals.
- Entire
Agreement; No Waiver. The Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between Buyer and Metrologic
as to the subject matter stated herein, and no attempted variation,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall have
any force or effect unless consented to in writing signed by the party
against whom enforcement thereof is sought. Such variation, modification
or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance consented
to. A failure by any party to exercise or delay in exercising
any right or power conferred upon it in this Agreement shall not operate
as a waiver of any such right or power.
- Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of New Jersey without giving effect to the conflict of law principles
thereof and excluding the Convention Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New Jersey, in the County of Camden, and
to the United States District Court for the State of New Jersey, and
to the respective appellate courts thereof in connection with any appeal
