Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall pay all applicable taxes, governmental fees, assessments or duties that Seller charges Buyer in addition to the prices quoted.
In the event of relevant changes to cost price factors, Seller reserves the right to revise the price provided on the Quote and pass on such additional costs to Buyer. Buyer will have the right to reject the revised price, in which case the order will be cancelled.

For all Orders that include tooling, Seller may require Buyer to pay the cost of tooling prior to acceptance of Buyer’s Order. Seller is not responsible for any delay in carrying out Buyer’s Order caused by Buyer’s delay in making payments.

Seller does not have an obligation to review any of the specifications, data or drawings that Buyer provides and reserves the right to reject or cancel any Order that is not uploaded by Buyer to Seller’s website.
Seller uses the 3D CAD data and/or drawings, as may be provided by Buyer, to generate Goods and tooling. 2D technical drawings will prevail over 3D CAD models only with respect to parameters for tolerances and/or threads, if specified. In all other cases, 3D CAD data will take precedence during production, if these have been provided before Seller accepted Buyer’s Order, or unless otherwise agreed. Seller is not responsible for discrepancies between 3D CAD data and 2D technical drawings.
