1. Applicability. The purchase order (“Purchase Order”) together with these terms and conditions, which are hyperlinked from the Purchase Order or otherwise provided to Seller, collectively constitute a binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Buyer and the Seller (as each is shown on the face of the Purchase Order), and apply to all purchases of products (“Products”) and services (“Services” and together with the Products, “Ordered Items”) by Buyer from Seller, as such Ordered Items may be described on the face of the Purchase Order. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement and any other document or instrument submitted by Seller, the Agreement will govern. Seller must reject Purchase Orders in writing within three days of receipt or the Agreement will be deemed accepted by Seller. Buyer expressly limits acceptance of the Agreement to the terms stated herein. Any additional, different, or inconsistent terms or conditions contained in any form, acknowledgment, acceptance, or confirmation used by Seller in connection with the implementation of the Purchase Order are hereby objected to and rejected by Buyer, however such proposal does not operate as a rejection of the Agreement (unless such variances are in the terms of the description, quantity, price or delivery schedule of the Ordered Items), but will be deemed a material alteration thereof, and the Agreement shall be deemed accepted by the Seller without any additional, different or inconsistent terms. As an exception to the foregoing, any written agreement between Buyer and Seller in effect at the time Buyer submits a Purchase Order that contains terms and conditions that are inconsistent with these terms and conditions will have priority over these terms and conditions.
1.适用性。采购订单（“订单”）、订单上所示的网站链接中包括的本条款和条件、以及提供给卖方的其他条款和条件共同构成（在订单的第一页上可以看到）买卖双方之间具有约束力的协议（“本协议”）。本协议适用于买方向卖方购买的货物（“货物”）以及服务（“服务”及“货物”统称为“订购产品”），订购产品可能也会在订单上有所描述。若本协议与卖方提供的任何文件或文书内容有冲突，以本协议为准。如果卖方在收到订单之日起三日内没有书面拒绝订单，则视为卖方已经接受本协议。买方在此明示，如果接受本协议则必须按照本条款和条件执行本协议。买方声明，在此，买方已经明确拒绝并且将不接受在执行订单过程中卖方提出的任何附加的、不同的或者不一致的条款，无论这些条款以任何方式包含在卖方使用任何的表格、知晓函、接受函或确认函书中。但是，卖方提议的行为并不被视为对本协议的拒绝（除非该提议的内容与订购产品的描述、数量、价格或交货时间表不一致），而会被视为对协议的实质性变更，所以将视为卖方对本协议无任何附加、不同或不一致条款的接受。上述情况的例外是：在买方提交订单时，买卖双方原已生效的书面协议中包括的不一致的条款优先于上述条款。
2. Shipment and Delivery; Alternate Source.
2.装运和交货；备用资源。
(a) All Products must be (i) suitably packed or otherwise prepared by Seller for shipment to prevent damage, to obtain the lowest transportation and insurance rates, and to meet the carrier’s requirements, and (ii) shipped in accordance with the instructions on the Purchase Order. Expenses incurred due to failure to comply with these terms are the responsibility of Seller. Seller’s name, complete ship to address and Purchase Order number must appear on all invoices, bills of lading, packing slips, cartons and correspondence. Bills of lading must be attached to invoices submitted, showing carrier, number of cartons and weight and date of shipment. Packing slips must accompany all shipments listing contents of shipment in detail.
(a) 所有货物都应由卖方 (i) 妥善包装或以其他方式准备好装运，以防止损坏，并最大程度地降低运输和保险费，从而满足承运人的要求，并应 (ii) 根据订单上的说明交付发货。因违反上述规定而产生的费用由卖方承担。所有发票、提货单、装箱单、纸箱和函件上必须载明卖方名称、完整的装运地址以及订单号。必须将提单附于提交的发票上，并载明承运人、装箱数量、货物重量以及装运日期。所有货物必须附有装箱单，并载明详细的装运内容。
(b) Title to and all risk of loss or damage to Products remains with Seller until receipt by Buyer of conforming Products at the required destination (FCA per INCOTERMS 2010 if shipment is international). Time is of the essence. Deliveries are to be made only in the quantities and at the times specified in the Purchase Order (Delivery terms FCA per INCOTERMS 2010 if shipment is international). If delivery is not expected to be made on time, Seller must immediately notify Buyer and take reasonable steps, at its cost, to expedite delivery. Buyer may cancel any order if delivery is not made on time or if notice is given that a delivery is expected to be late.
(b) 买方在规定的目的地确认接收货物之前，货物的所有权由卖方所有，且其损失或损坏风险由卖方承担（如是国际装运，则FCA按《2010国际贸易术语解释通则》执行）。时间方面的相关规定是本协议的重要条款。交货必须按照订单规定的数量和时间交货（如果是国际装运，则交货条件FCA按《2010国际贸易术语解释通则》执行）。若预计不能及时交货，卖方必须立即通知买方并采取合理措施加快交货，并应自担费用。如未及时交货或接到延迟交货通知，买方可取消任何订单。
(c) Buyer may reject any delivery or cancel all or any part of any Purchase Order if Seller fails to make delivery in conformity with the terms and conditions of the Agreement including, without limitation, any failure of Products to conform to the specifications (“Specifications”) and/or performance criteria published by Seller for Products. Buyer’s acceptance of any non-conforming delivery shall not constitute a waiver of its right to reject future deliveries. If Seller (i) fails to supply Products, (ii) fails to supply Products meeting Specifications, or (iii) fails to meet Buyer’s delivery schedules and delivery requirements, and Seller does not provide a comparable quality substitute (for which substitution Seller must assume any expense and price differential), then Buyer may, in its sole discretion, purchase Products from another supplier as an alternate source as Seller, in its sole discretion, deems necessary. In such event, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any additional costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in purchasing Products from such other supplier as an alternate source. Upon identification and notification of defective Products or nonconforming shipments, Buyer shall receive full credit either for scrap or return, which credit will include full costs paid to Seller, together with shipping, processing and related costs, if applicable. Within one week of the shipment of the defective Product, Seller shall submit to Buyer a written explanation of the root cause and corrective actions implemented to prevent reoccurrence.
(c) 若卖方未按协议规定的条款和条件交货，包括但不限于货物不符合规格（“规格”）和/或达不到卖方发布的货物性能标准，买方可拒绝收货或取消全部或部分订单。买方接收任何不符合规格的货物并不表示其放弃未来拒绝接收货物的权利。若买方 (i) 未能交货，(ii) 交货不符合规格，或 (iii) 未按买方的交货时间表和交货要求交货，且卖方未提供质量相当的替代品（该替代品的任何费用和价格差异由卖方承担），则买方可在其认为必要的情况下自行从作为备用采购源的另一供货商处订购货物。在此情况下，卖方应承担并支付买方因向该其他作为备用采购源的供货商订购货物所产生的所有额外成本和费用。在发现缺陷产品或不合格货物并给予通知后，买方应得到残次品或退还货物的全额抵免，该抵免包括向卖方支付的全部费用以及装运费、加工费和相关费用（如有）。缺陷产品发货一周内，卖方应向买方提交缺陷成因的书面解释以及防止再次发生的整改措施。
3. Prices; Payment. Prices for all Ordered Items will be as stated in the Purchase Order, and include all applicable federal, state, provincial and local taxes; provided, however, that in no event will the price charged by Seller under the Agreement be less favorable than the lowest price charged by Seller to other customers purchasing similar or lesser quantities of the Ordered Items. Payment terms for all Ordered Items will be as stated in the Purchase Order. Buyer shall be entitled to set off any amounts owing at any time from Seller to Buyer or any of its affiliated companies against any amount payable at any time by Buyer or such affiliates in connection with the Agreement.
3.价格；付款。订购货物的价格将在订单上指明，包含所有可适用的联邦、州、省以及地方税收；但前提是， 无论如何卖方根据本协议收取的价格不得高于卖家向其他采购类似数量或更少数量订单货物的买家收取的最低价格。所有订购产品的付款条款将在订单中说明。买方有权用卖方对其或其任何附属公司欠下的款项抵消其或该附属公司在任何时候应付的与协议相关的任何金额。
4. Inspection/Testing. Payment for the Ordered Items does not constitute acceptance thereof. Buyer has the right to inspect all Ordered Items and to reject any or all Ordered Items that are in Buyer's judgment defective or nonconforming. Buyer may request, at its option, repair or replacement of rejected Ordered Items or a refund of the purchase price. Ordered Items supplied in excess of the quantities specified in the Purchase Order may be returned to Seller at Seller's expense. Buyer reserves the right to use rejected materials, as it believes advisable or necessary to meet its contractual obligations to customers, without waiving any rights against Seller. Nothing contained in the Agreement relieves Seller from the obligation of testing, inspection and quality control.
4.检验/测试。支付订购产品款项并不构成对订购产品的接受。买方有权对于订购产品进行检验，并可拒收其认为存在缺陷的产品或者不符合规格的产品。买方可选择要求返修、换货或者退款。超过订单发货数量的产品，由卖方承担退回的费用。若买方认为对满足其对客户的合同性义务是适当且必要的，则可保留使用不合格原料的权利，但并不是放弃其对卖方的任何权利。本协议未免除卖方的测试、检验以及质量控制等义务。
5. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Any specifications, drawings, sketches, models, samples, tools, technical information, methods, processes, techniques, shop practices, plans, know-how, trade secrets, or data, written, oral or otherwise (collectively, the “Information”) furnished to Seller under, or in contemplation of, the Agreement remain Buyer's property.

Seller hereby assigns to Buyer, and not otherwise to make use of, any invention, improvement or discovery (whether or not patentable), conceived or reduced to practice in the performance of the Agreement by Seller or any employee of Seller or any other person working under Seller's direction, and such assignment shall be considered as additional consideration for the making of the Agreement. Upon request of Buyer or completion of performance of the Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any and all information relating to any such invention, improvement or discovery, and shall cause employees or others subject to Seller's instruction to sign as appropriate all documents necessary to enable Buyer to file applications for patents throughout the world and to obtain title thereto.

14. Conflicts Minerals Compliance. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502 and related Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules (Conflict Mineral Law) requires that Nortek publically disclose via annual SEC filings the country of origin of “Conflict Minerals” contained in products Nortek manufactures or contracts to manufacture. “Conflict Minerals” include tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold and relevant ores and derivatives (3TG). Seller is required to comply with the Nortek Conflict Minerals Policy, which, at a minimum, means performing the following activities:
- Establish a conflict mineral policy consistent with Nortek’s policy, implement management systems to support compliance with its policy and require its suppliers of any tier to take the same steps.
- Complete Nortek’s Conflict Minerals survey, identifying products, components and materials containing 3TG minerals (3TG Product) it sells to Buyer and the smelter that provided the original 3TG mineral. Buyer’s direct suppliers may have to require successive upstream suppliers to complete Nortek’s Conflict Minerals survey until the smelter is identified.
- On an annual basis, provide a report to support Nortek’s SEC reporting requirements.
- Ultimately, supply “Conflict Free” 3TG Product. Once the supply chain is identified, commit to purchasing from smelters which are certified as conflict free by a recognized program such as the Conflict Free Smelter (“CFS”) program.
Buyer shall evaluate its supplier relationships on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance. Buyer reserves the right to request additional documentation from its suppliers regarding the source of any conflict minerals included in its 3TG Products. Buyer expects all suppliers to perform these activities in “good faith” and work towards eventual conflict-free status. Buyer shall establish reasonable remediation steps and action plans where necessary.
14.《冲突矿产法》合规性。《多德-弗兰克改革和消费者保护法》第1502节以及证券交易委员会(SEC)的相关条例（《冲突矿产法》）要求Nortek通过年度SEC文件公开公布其生产或签约生产的产品中所含“争端矿产”的原产国/地。“争端矿产”包括锡、钽、钨、黄金以及相关矿石和衍生物(3TG)。卖方需要遵守Nortek提出的矿产冲突政策，这至少意味着履行以下义务：
- 建立与Nortek的政策相一致的矿产冲突政策，部署管理系统，提高对其政策的合规力度，并要求其各层级的供应商采取相同的措施。
- 完成Nortek的矿产冲突调查，确定其销售给买方的含有3TG矿产（3TG产品）的货物、部件和材料以及提供原始3TG矿产的冶炼厂。买方的直接供货商可能需要要求其上游供货商完成Nortek的矿产冲突调查，直至确定冶炼厂。
- 每年提供支持Nortek的SEC报告要求的报告。
- 最后，供应“无冲突的”3TG产品。一经确定供应链，承诺将从被公认组织（如无冲突冶炼厂，英文缩写“CFS”）认证为无冲突的冶炼厂采购。
15. Anti-Corruption. Seller shall at all times conduct its activities in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders related to anti-bribery or anti-corruption legislation including, but not limited to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and all national, state, provincial or territorial anti-bribery and anti-corruption statutes. Accordingly, Seller shall make no offer, payment or gift, will not promise to pay or give, and will not authorize, directly or indirectly, the promise or payment of, any money or anything of value to any Buyer employee or agent, any government official, any political party or its officials, or any person while knowing or having reason to know that all or a portion of such money or item of value will be offered, given or promised for the purpose of influencing any decision or act to assist Seller or Buyer or otherwise obtaining any improper advantage or benefit.
15.反腐败。卖方应始终按照所有适用的反贿赂或反腐败立法相关的法律、条例、法规和法令（包括但不限于美国《1977年反海外腐败法》以及所有国家、州、省或地方性的反贿赂和反腐败立法）开展活动。相应地，如果卖方知道或有理由知道，若为影响任何决定或行动提供、赠送或承诺全部或部分钱款或有价物，将有助卖方或买方或其他方面获取不正当优势或利益，则卖方不得给予、支付或赠送，不得承诺支付或给予，并不得直接或间接授权承诺或支付任何金钱或有价物给买方员工或代理、任何政党或其官员或任何人。
16. General. The invalidity of any provision contained in the Agreement will not affect the validity of any other provision. Buyer's failure to insist on performance of any term or condition or to exercise any right or privilege shall not waive any such term, condition, right or privilege. The Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument separately signed by Buyer or Seller. Seller shall not subcontract or assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, without Buyer's consent. The provisions of Sections 5-9, 11, 12 and 16 survive termination of the Agreement.
16.一般规定。本协议下任何条款的无效不影响其他条款的有效性。不得将买方未坚持要求对方继续履行任何条款和条件或未行使任何权利或优先权视为对该条款、条件、权利或优先权放弃。对本协议的修订或修改必须由买卖双方签订书面文件。未经买方同意，卖方不得全部或部分转包或转让其依本协议所享有的权利和承担的义务。本协议终止后，第5-9、11、12和16节的规定继续有效。
