Unless accompanied by any special terms in Seller’s proposal, these are the only terms applicable to the sale of goods and repair services.

This Agreement is effective as of the date entered on a Buyer’s Purchase Order and shall be in lieu of any other Terms and Conditions that may appear on a Buyer’s Purchase Order. The acknowledgement of the Buyer, by means of submitting a Purchase Order against a quote provided by MC2 containing these Terms and Conditions, constitutes Buyer’s acceptance of Seller’s Terms, Prices, Lead Times, Provided Documentation, and any other condition contained herein. Upon Seller’s commencement of any performance, Buyer will be deemed to have accepted these Terms and Conditions whether or not the Buyer submits other Terms and Conditions subsequent to acceptance of a Purchase Order. The Buyer represents and warrants that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind the Buyer to this Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand this Agreement; and (iii) you agree to this Agreement. If you do not have the legal authority to bind the Buying company, please do not submit the Purchase Order.

Article I: Qualification of Buyer

Mid Continent Controls requires that Buyers hold an FAA Part 145 CRS/AMO, or equivalent. Direct sale to “End Customers” is prohibited. MC2 products require experienced technicians for installation, and Warranty may be void if Seller’s products are installed by any party not meeting these standards.

Article II: Pricing

All pricing is expressed in United States Dollars, or USD.

Prices are subject to change without prior notice. If a quote, or price list validity, was not given, contact Sales@MidContinentControls.com or call (316) 789-0088 to confirm pricing prior to placing a Purchase Order.
Pricing includes standard factory testing, inspection, documentation, and packaging requirements. Any additional requirements of Buyer will be charged to the Buyer and quoted for inclusion on the Purchase Order.
For the avoidance of doubt, prices will only include a manufacturer’s C of C for factory new products.

Article III: Delivery, Title, Risk of Loss

MC2 will prepare and package all products in accordance with Seller’s standard procedures and normal commercial practices. Buyer is responsible for all delivery fees and the accuracy of information on the Purchase Order.

For International Shipments (Exports), delivery terms will be FCA (Incoterms 2010) Seller’s Facility.
Return shipments, including repairs, will be sent to MC2 DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). Seller will return repaired items in accordance with the Domestic or International shipping terms above.
In the case of an international repair delivery, the Buyer will become the “Shipper” and “Exporter” of record and is responsible for meeting those incoterm obligations, will assume risk of loss until delivery, payment of export clearances, and any transportation costs to MC2’s facility. It is the Shipper’s responsibility to ensure that all documentation complies with U.S. customs requirements.
If upon re-delivery from a repair there is any issue with custom’s clearance, this becomes an excusable delay. MC2 will notify the buyer of any clearance issue, and risk of loss or damage will transfer to Buyer at that time. Buyer will assume any additional costs occurred for storage or customs clearance delays.

Article IV: Shipping, Packaging and Documentation

As detailed above, shipping costs will be the responsibility of the Buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Shipping preparation and packaging will be conducted in accordance with MC2 standard procedures.

Any additional documentation requirements will be quoted and agreed to in writing prior to shipment. Subsequent requirements, sent after the shipment of the product, will be at the sole cost of the Buyer.

Shipment of product to MC2 shall be the responsibility of the Buyer, and care shall be taken in packaging. Additional damage incurred during transit is not the responsibility of MC2 and will be quoted as part of the repair work.

Article V: Payments

All payments shall be in United States Dollar (USD) and made at a bank deemed acceptable by the Seller. Special Terms for payment will be included on any quotation, proposal, or offer given by the Seller. Seller is not required to extend credit terms for any product purchase.

Credit: MC2 may extend credit to Buyer expressed in calendar days from the date of invoice. Net 30 days is typical, but for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer must reference the due date on the invoice to avoid late fees. If the Buyer feels there is an error in the invoice, they must contact Mid Continent Controls immediately to correct the situation. Mid Continent Controls is under no obligation to extend credit to any customer, and may take action, including but not limited to withholding shipments, if the Buyer’s account falls delinquent.
Past Due: If the Buyer falls delinquent on invoice payments, Seller may at its option be relieved of any obligation to i) meet any guarantees with respect to delivery, turnaround times, or spares support, ii) refuse to process any credits which may be due to Buyer, iii) withhold future deliveries, iv) terminate any other outstanding orders, v) repossess any parts for which the payment has not been made, vi) require cash in advance for future purchases, vii) charge any storage fees for parts until payment is made, viii) recover any collections fees or collections related charges including attorney’s fees, ix) charge late penalties on an invoice (detailed below) or x) any combination of the above.

If the delays are within the Sellers reasonable control, and extend for greater than 6 months, and the parties have not agreed upon a revised delivery basis at the end of the delay, including any necessary adjustments on price, then either party, upon thirty (30) days written notice, may terminate the performance of the work delayed. Buyer may be responsible to pay Seller’s termination charges.
