1. Scope: These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) govern the sale of products (“Products”) and the provision of Services (as defined below) by Analog Devices, Inc. and its Affiliates (collectively, “Analog Devices”) to the party listed on the purchase order or other order documentation (“Buyer”). "Affiliate" means a party and any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, that party where control means the direct or indirect ownership or control of more than fifty percent (50%) of all the voting shares or other rights eligible to vote for a governing authority of such entity. However, the term Affiliate shall expressly exclude any entity that is a direct competitor of the other party. Analog Devices’ acceptance of Buyer’s order is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s acceptance of these terms and conditions. Any and all Buyer terms and conditions are hereby rejected and shall be of no effect. Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions upon any of the following by Buyer, its agents or representatives: (i) written or electronic acknowledgement or acceptance of the Analog Devices terms and conditions, (ii) transmission to Analog Devices, its agents or representatives of any order for Analog Devices Products or Services, or (iii) acceptance of or payment for any Product or Service covered hereby. Analog Devices’ failure to object to any provision contained in any communication from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of any provision hereof. Except to the extent Buyer has a written, signed, separate agreement with Analog Devices governing the purchase and sale of Products and/or Services, these Terms supersede any previous communications, representations or agreements between the parties regarding the sale of Products and/or Services. Any changes from these Terms contained herein must be specifically agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Analog Devices before becoming binding on Analog Devices.


2. Prices: All prices are invoiced in U.S. Dollars. All prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements or other terms and conditions that are not a part of the original price quotation. Prices are exclusive of all federal, state, municipal or other government excise, value added tax, goods and services tax, sales, use, occupational or like taxes, tariffs, customs, duties and importing fees, the payment of which shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer regardless of whether invoiced to Buyer by Analog Devices. Invoiced amounts are consequently subject to increase by the amount of any such tax, tariff, duty or fee that Analog Devices pays or is required to pay or collect upon sale or delivery of the Products. Any certificate of exemption or similar document or proceeding required to exempt the sale of Products from sales or use tax liability shall be obtained by Buyer at its expense.
   
   If Buyer fails to take delivery of the quantity of Products upon which a quantity discount price, if any, is based, Buyer will be back-billed an amount based on the quantity actually delivered hereunder and upon the quantity pricing schedule in effect at the time the order was placed. Such charges will be in addition to any cancellation charges.
   
   If discounted pricing is extended to Buyer, it is extended on condition that the Product is for Buyer’s use and not for any other third party’s use. Any use or transfer of such discounted Product outside of Buyer is subject to a bill-back in an amount based on the difference between the discount given and list price.


3. Terms of Payment: All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Terms are cash upon delivery, except where satisfactory open account credit is established, in which case terms of payment are net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Analog Devices reserves the right at any time, in its sole discretion, to revoke any credit extended to Buyer. Analog Devices will issue invoices on delivery in the case of all Products; and if deliveries are authorized in installments, each shipment shall be invoiced and paid when due without regard to other scheduled deliveries. Overdue payments shall be subject to finance charges computed at a periodic rate of 1.5% per month (18% per year) or the maximum amount allowable by law, whichever is less. Amounts owed by Buyer with respect to which there is no dispute shall be paid without set-off for any amounts that Buyer may claim are owed by Analog Devices and regardless of any other controversies that may exist. Buyer does hereby grant to Analog Devices a security interest in the Products and proceeds therefrom as security for the performance by Buyer of all its obligations hereunder. Payment shall be made for the Products without regard to whether Buyer has made or will make any inspection of the Products.


4. Shipment: All Products will be scheduled for shipment in accordance with Analog Devices’ minimum order policy and applicable shipment sequence. Analog Devices reserves the right to make shipments in installments. Analog Devices reserves the right to make shipments when Product is available and shall invoice shipments as made. Analog Devices reserves the right to allocate production and deliveries among its various customers under any circumstances. Analog Devices will confirm in writing, and amend as appropriate, the shipment schedule. Under no circumstances shall Analog Devices be liable to Buyer for any delay either in shipment or in delivery.


5. Delivery, Title and Risk of Loss: Except as otherwise stated herein or agreed by the parties in writing, Products will be shipped Ex Works (Incoterms 2010) from Analog Devices’ designated facility (“Delivery Point”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Analog Devices will obtain any necessary and applicable export licenses in connection therewith. Title and risk of loss of, or damage to, the Products shall pass to Buyer upon Analog Devices’ delivery of Products to the Delivery Point. Products held or stored by Analog Devices, at Buyer’s request or due to Buyer’s failure to accept delivery after the scheduled shipment date in the applicable order, shall be at the sole risk of Buyer, and Buyer shall pay to Analog Devices all Analog Devices’ expenses associated with holding or storing such Products. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Analog Devices from and against all losses, demands, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including without limitation consequential losses and loss of profit, reasonable legal costs and expenses and VAT thereon) and liabilities suffered or incurred by Analog Devices in consequence of any delay or failure by Buyer in meeting its obligations in this regard. Analog Devices shall have no liability to Buyer for any delayed delivery or non-delivery of the Products where this is caused by a delay or failure by Buyer in meeting its obligations under the Ex Works Incoterm 2010.


6. Cancellation, Rescheduling, Returns and Modifications: No cancellations or reschedules will be accepted within 45 days of the earliest requested ship date. Any request for order cancellation or rescheduling within 45 days of the earliest requested ship date, return, or modification must be made in writing, and such action must be approved in writing by an authorized agent of Analog Devices. Analog Devices, at its option, may accept or reject any such request by Buyer, and Analog Devices reserves the right to impose charges on Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall not return any Products for any reason without issuance of a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number by Analog Devices for such Products.


7. Source Inspection: Source inspection by Buyer or Buyer’s customer must be mutually agreed in writing, at the time of ordering, and is subject to reasonable charges and safety and security conditions. Buyer shall have no right of access to any Analog Devices facility except as specifically authorized in advance by Analog Devices. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Analog Devices and its Affiliates from any and all suits, damages, and expenses of Buyer, its agent or its customer resulting from personal injury including death or loss or damage of property occurring during, or in connection with, any visit to any facility of Analog Devices or its Affiliates.

    9. Separate Transactions: Each shipment made hereunder shall be considered a separate transaction. In the event of any default by Buyer, Analog Devices may decline to make further shipments.
