If both parties agree that the material is not as ordered, Seller shall, at its discretion, repair or replace the material, or credit Buyer for the non-conforming material. Buyer must make any claim for shortage within five (5) business days of its receipt of the materials, and must include with its claim the weights it found in the shipment, including tare, and must provide Seller with the method used in arriving at a count of the parts.

References such as C.&F., C.I.F., F.A.S., F.O.B., C.O.D., or similar terms shall be used merely to calculate prices. Such terms, the time, method or place of payment or of endorsement or delivery of shipping documents, the method of shipment, the manner of consignment, the contents of Buyer’s purchase order or Seller’s invoice or other documents or papers relating to the sales transaction shall not be deemed to limit or alter the foregoing rights of Seller in the products. Seller will insure for its own benefit products shipped to Buyer until such products arrive at the port or point of entry, all premiums for Buyer’s account. Where laws or regulation of Buyer’s country require Buyer to take out insurance, the policy shall be for the benefit of Seller whether or not Seller is named as insured in such policy, until the products arrive at the port or point of entry.
