Every order is firm and final. Any clause or particular purchasing condition appearing
on the customer?s order notification, which is in conflict with the present conditions,
will be regarded as null and void. No addition, omission or modification regarding
any of the provisions of these sales conditions will be binding on the Vendor without
his prior written agreement. Any change notified on the Vendor?s acknowledgement
of receipt will be regarded as accepted by the customer, unless the latter notifies
the Vendor in writing of his opposition to the change within a maximum of eight
days from the acknowledgement of receipt. Every order has to be submitted by a written
letter to Ubimed, 30 days before the product has been sent so that the request could
be accepted. Every order is an irrevocable commitment. In the event of any modification
whatsoever (designation, quantity, etc) of an order already received and confirmed
by the vendor?s agreement, the previously granted conditions cannot be renewed without
the vendor?s express agreement. No order may be cancelled, even partially, without
UBIMEDŽ prior agreement. If UBIMEDŽ should accept the cancellation of an order for
stocked products, it will invoice a minimum of 20% of the total amount of the order,
with a minimum charge of $ 50 as compensation. Any order for products that are not
stocked may not be the subject of any return or cancellation. If such were the case,
the whole amount of the order would be payable. In the case of a specific deal,
any requisite security stocks not used up will be delivered and invoiced to the
customer at the end of the deal or in the event of any modification whatsoever.
The Vendor reserves the right to refuse any order for less than $ 500; this amount
maybe modified by means of a circular.

The delivery dates envisaged in the order acknowledgements or
any other document mentioning the customer?s order number or reference are given
as an indication only, as accurately as possible but nevertheless depend on the
vendor?s possibilities of obtaining supplies and transport. Under no circumstances
may any delays justify the cancellation of the order, any compensation or the application
of penalties for delay. The Vendor is legally free from any commitment regarding
delivery dates and expressly reserves the right to suspend deliveries: # In the
event that the customer does not comply with the agreed payment terms. # In the
event of force majeure or events such as social conflicts, epidemic, war, requisition,
fire, flood, industrial accidents, significant rejects, interruption to or delays
in transport or any causes leading to total or partial unemployment in the Vendor?s
premises or his suppliers. # In the event of export being prohibited by order of
the government of the equipment?s country of origin. #In all cases, the goods may
only be delivered on the delivery dates if the purchaser is up-to-date in his obligations
with regard to UBIMED. Any partial delivery requested or accepted by the purchaser
is invoiced on delivery. Any postponement of delivery is subject to our company?s
written consent. Delivery is made either by handing over the product directly to
the purchaser or by delivery to a shipper or a freight forwarder in UBIMED?s premises.
The Vendor reserves the right to make full or partial deliveries. The products travel
at the consignee?s risk and peril. No recourse may be taken against the Vendor,
the forwarding agent or the shipper for any losses or damage the goods may incur
unless an irrefutable report with probative force has been sent to the shipper or
the forwarding agent within a maximum of three days, not including public holidays,
and formally notified to the Vendor within the same period.

agreed terms. UBIMEDŽ reserves the right to set a new overdraft limit for a customer

has been fulfilled. In the meantime, the goods must be kept distinctively separate
in the customer?s warehouses or workshops. The customer bears the risks of loss
or destruction. In the event of filing bankruptcy, cessation of payment or one of
the procedures envisaged in the law relating to company turnaround or the winding
up of companies or in the event of implementation of the law regarding amicable
settlement, the customer must advise us immediately and immediately compile, at
his own expense, a complete and true inventory of the goods in his stock, which
