Unless sooner revoked, this offer shall expire on the expiration date set forth herein. This offer and the contract created by the Purchaser's acceptance hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions including those limiting warranties and liability and providing for price change.

1. All quotations are based upon acceptance of the terms set forth herein and based upon and governed by NBS's interpretations of plans and specifications and are subject to change based upon changes in regulations issued by any governmental agency or any other governmental order.

2. Oral and written quotations terminate fourteen (14) calendar days after date of issuance unless stated differently on the face of this document. All quotations, including but not limited to price information published in catalogs, bulletins or price lists, are subject to revision prior to NBS's acceptance of the order.

4. Shipments and deliveries hereunder shall at all times be subject to NBS's credit approval. If Purchaser shall fail to make any payments when due, NBS, in addition to other rights and remedies, may, at its option, defer shipments or deliveries except upon receipt of satisfactory security or cash before shipment.

NBS shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by factors beyond its control including (without limitation) changes in government regulations, acts of God, Purchaser's acts or omissions, fires, strikes or other combined action of workmen, floods, earthquakes, serious accidents, epidemics, quarantines, wars, insurrections or riots, acts of civil or military authorities, transportation embargoes or interruptions, shortages, wrecks, severe weather, labor shortages, deliveries of components and materials and delays by NBS's suppliers.

12. Goods are shipped F.O.B. shipping point. When goods have been delivered to a carrier for shipment, the risk of loss passes to Purchaser and NBS's responsibility for delivery ends; but NBS agrees to furnish duplicate bills of lading and otherwise render reasonable assistance in making claims for damages against the carrier. Shipment must be examined carefully by Purchaser before being accepted from the carrier.
