| 1. PRODUCTS AND SALE TERMS. |
|
Buyer agrees to purchase and NXP Semiconductors ('NXP') agrees to sell products, which may include hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software ("Products") under the terms of this document. NXP does not consent to any terms or conditions asserted by Buyer as applicable to this transaction, in a purchase order, on a web site, or otherwise. Additional terms, which may be found in click or shrink wrap licenses for particular software Products ('Click Wrap Terms'), may apply to the use of such Products, and consist of an additional agreement between the manufacturer of such software and the Buyer. If the manufacturer of software including Click Wrap Terms is NXP®, the Click Wrap Terms will control and exclude any conflicting terms in this Agreement. If the manufacturer of the software including Click Wrap terms is not NXP, the Buyer must contact that manufacturer for enforcement of any rights, including but not limited to warranty and indemnity rights, found in such Click Wrap Terms that are different from or in excess of the rights provided herein.
| 2. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT; TITLE & RISK OF LOSS; TAXES. |
|
Delivery will be FOB Our point of shipment, with title and risk of loss passing to Buyer at that point. Payment is due thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. NXP will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Products pursuant to a mutually agreeable schedule; however, delivery dates are approximate and NXP is not liable for delivery delays for any reason. In the event of any Product shortages, NXP reserves the right to adopt an equitable plan of allocation and to adjust delivery schedules accordingly. Buyer agrees to pay all applicable taxes. Taxes and duties on international orders are the responsibility of the buyer. They may be collected at delivery.
Except as provided in subsection (b) below, NXP warrants that its Products sold hereunder will, at the time of shipment, conform substantially to the manufacturer's approved specifications. If Products are not as warranted, NXP will, at its option, and as Buyer's exclusive remedy, either refund the purchase price, repair, or replace with the same or equivalent Products that meet this warranty. Buyer must submit a warranty claim online at http://www.nxp.com/devtoolreturns and, if requested by NXP, return nonconforming Products FOB Our designated facility. If Products are nonconforming, NXP will reimburse Buyer's reasonable transportation charges for return of Products. This warranty does not apply to Products that have been subjected to improper testing, assembly, mishandling or misuse, whether by Buyer or others. This warranty may not be expanded, and no obligation or liability will arise, due to technical advice or assistance, qualification or testing data, computerized data, facilities or service NXP may provide in connection with Buyer's purchase.
THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS TO BUYER ONLY AND MAY BE INVOKED ONLY BY BUYER FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. NXP WILL NOT ACCEPT WARRANTY RETURNS FROM BUYER'S CUSTOMERS. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR FITNESS, AND THE WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT SPECIFIED IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE.

The recipient must hold all confidential information and materials containing confidential information in confidence for five (5) years after receipt. If the terms of this section conflict with any confidentiality or nondisclosure terms agreed to by the parties in a separate written agreement governing this transaction, the terms of such separate agreement controls.
In the absence of separate Click Wrap Terms between Buyer and NXP, the following terms and conditions apply to any software or firmware (software embedded in Products) in all forms, including any documentation ('Licensed Programs') provided by NXP:
