1.   Applicability.

       a.    All sales of goods (“Goods”) by Better Nutritionals, LLC and/or any of its affiliates (individually or collectively, as applicable “Seller”) to a buyer of such goods (“Buyer”) are subject to and governed by these terms and conditions of sale (“Terms and Conditions”). Seller hereby rejects any and all other terms (including Buyer’s purchase order terms and conditions) offered by Buyer or upon which Buyer may condition any purchase order or to which Buyer may limit Seller’s acceptance. SELLER’S ACCEPTANCE OF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDERS AND/OR SELLER’S PERFORMANCE IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PURCHASE ORDERS ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONAL ON BUYER’S ASSENT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SELLER HEREBY REJECTS ANY AND ALL OTHER TERMS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER OR SUCH OTHER TERMS ARE CONSTRUED AS AN OFFER, COUNTER-OFFER OR OTHERWISE, OR WHETHER SUCH OTHER TERMS ARE CONSTRUED AS ADDITIONS TO OR DIFFER FROM THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. UNLESS BUYER NOTIFIES SELLER IN WRITING THAT BUYER DOES NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER FIRST RECEIVING THEM, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OR USE OF THE GOODS SHALL BE DEEMED BUYER’S ASSENT TO THESE CONDITIONS OF SALE. ISSUANCE OF A NEW PURCHASE ORDER WITH ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS IS NOT CONSIDERED A WRITTEN OBJECTION TO THE SPECIFIC TERMS OF SALE NOTED IN THIS AGREEMENT. These Terms and Conditions are deemed to be a part of, and incorporated into, every sales transaction for Goods between Buyer and Seller. If Seller and Buyer have executed a written contract specifically governing the sale of specific Goods, then, solely with respect to such specific Goods, such contract’s terms and conditions shall apply to the extent that matters are covered by such written contract, and to the extent any matters are not covered by such executed written contract but are covered by these Terms and Conditions, then these Terms and Conditions shall apply and be additions to such written contract to such extent.

       b.    Orders of Good by Buyer shall not bind Seller until accepted by Seller via written order confirmation (the “Order Confirmation”); provided, however, if Seller does not issue an Order Confirmation, then acceptance by Seller shall be deemed to occur upon commencement of production by Seller of the ordered Goods.

2.   Delivery.

       a.    The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer’s purchase order, subject to availability of finished Goods. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.

       b.    Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall arrange for the Goods to be available for pickup by Buyer at Seller’s facility located at either (1) 3390 Horseless Carriage Drive, Norco, CA 92860 or (2) 17120 S. Figueroa Street, Gardena, CA 90248 (the “Delivery Point”) using Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods within two (2) days of Seller’s written notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. 

       c.    Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, fulfill partial orders of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s purchase order.

       d.    If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Seller’s notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

3.    Quantity. Seller reserves the right to: (i) increase quantity ordered to nearest standard shipping unit; (ii) ship ordered Goods within a range of plus or minus twenty percent (20%); or (iii) both. Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject the Goods or any portion of them by reason of the surplus or shortfall and shall pay for such Goods at the price set forth in the Order Confirmation adjusted pro rata.

4.    Shipping Terms. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the parties on the face of the Order Confirmation, all shipments are FOB Delivery Point.

5.    Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Point; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Goods for which delivery is suspended pending payment by Buyer and/or Goods for which delivery is wrongfully rejected or not accepted by Buyer shall be held and stored by Seller at the sole risk and expense of Buyer. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the California Uniform Commercial Code.

6.    Amendment and Modification. These Terms and Conditions may only be amended or modified in a writing which specifically states that it amends these Terms and Conditions and is signed by an authorized representative of each party.

7.    Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods.

      a.    Buyer shall inspect the Goods upon receipt, but in no event later than three (3) days following receipt thereof (“Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” means only the following: (i) product shipped is different than identified in Buyer’s purchase order; or (ii) product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents.

       b.    If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller’s facility located at 3390 Horseless Carriage Drive, Norco, CA 92860. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point.

       c.    Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 7(b) are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided under Section 7(b), all sales of Goods to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to Seller.

8.    Price.

       a.    Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at price and currency stated in the Order Confirmation (the “Price”) which shall be considered the price and currency agreed between Buyer and Seller for the sale of Goods. In case of multiple or future deliveries, the price and currency of such deliveries are subject to revision by Seller at any time as set forth in subsequent Order Confirmation(s) relating to such deliveries. 

       b.    Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Seller and Buyer, (i) Seller’s price for the Goods does not include any applicable tax, duty, excise, levy or charge (including value-added taxes) in any jurisdiction in relation to the Goods or the delivery thereof, and (ii) Buyer is responsible for payment of all such taxes (excluding income taxes owed by Seller on account of the sale of the Goods), duties, excises, levies or charges (including value-added taxes) which Seller may be required to pay to any authority (National, State or Local) upon the sale, production or transportation of the Goods.

9.    Invoices and Payment.

       a.    Seller shall be entitled to invoice Buyer on or at any time after shipment of the Goods. Buyer shall pay all invoiced amounts in accordance with the payment terms stated in the Order Confirmation. Buyer shall make all payments hereunder by check or electronic transfer and in U.S. dollars.

       b.    Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. 

       c.    Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off, deductions or counterclaims, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, court costs and other legal fees) incurred by Seller in connection with the collection of any amounts not paid on-time in accordance with such payment terms. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms and Conditions or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for ten (10) days following written notice thereof.
