SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Credit. You (“Buyer”) must establish an account with Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation, including the Miami Export Division (“Ingram”) in accordance with Ingram’s requirements and as a condition of placing an order. These terms and conditions (“Sales Terms”), as published on Ingram’s Web site located at https://mi.ingrammicro.com/ (“Ingram Website”) at the time of sale, govern all purchases of products, software, and services (“Products”) by Buyer from Ingram. Payment terms are specified when Buyer’s account is established and are subject to change from time to time. In the absence of any communication from Ingram approving a specific credit line, Buyer will have to prepay for all Products orders. Ingram has the right to modify, increase, decrease or terminate Buyer’s credit privileges and the payment terms at any time without prior notice to Buyer. Ingram’s then current service charge and applicable interest (as stipulated in Buyer’s Reseller Application) will be charged on all past due balances commencing on the date payment is due. Buyer may not deduct any amounts owing from any invoice. Buyer’s obligation to make timely payment is a material element of these Sales Terms and if breached will cause Ingram damage. Buyer is responsible for all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, interest expenses and any other related fees incurred as part of Ingram’s collection efforts.
Orders. Additional terms and conditions may apply to the purchase of certain Products (e.g., cloud services, professional services, etc.). Buyer’s orders are offers to purchase Products subject to these Sales Terms. Ingram may decline any order for any reason. Ingram’s acceptance of Buyer’s order is limited to these Sales Terms without any modification, or exception. Additional terms and conditions on any Buyer document will have no effect i.e. will not change or add to these Sales Terms whether or not Ingram specifically objects to those terms and conditions. These Sales Terms may only be modified by a written agreement signed by Buyer and an authorized Ingram representative. Buyer, on behalf of itself and the customer for whom the Product is purchased, consents to the transfer of Buyer’s and customer’s email addresses, when such transfer is required to complete a transaction. Buyer will not disclose any confidential information when ordering from Ingram. Buyer will protect the confidentiality of its account number(s) and password(s) and not transfer them to any third party. Buyer may only place orders via any Ingram- approved ordering method by using Buyer’s account number. Ingram has no obligation to confirm the validity of any order placed or the authority of the person placing an order in this manner. Buyer bears all risk of unauthorized purchases by third parties using Buyer’s account number or password. Orders for non-standard products including products configured to Buyer’s specifications are non-cancelable and non returnable. Buyer may not change, cancel or reschedule any orders without Ingram’s written consent.
For all Buyer’s purchases from the Miami Export Division: 1. Buyer is obliged to export the product from the US territory to countries within Latin America and the Caribbean, in accordance with any applicable Vendor (Vendor means the Vendor, creator or publisher) territory limitations, and complying with all the US Trade policies and Laws as well as US Export Control Laws & Regulations; 2. Ingram has the right to request information regarding the specific territories within Latin America & the Caribbean where the Buyer intends to resell the Products from Buyer, via the Reseller Application or by any other means; and 3. Buyer must submit to Ingram in writing any request for the sale of Products within the US, which cannot proceed until Ingram provides written approval.
Price. Quoted prices are subject to change without notice and, unless specifically included in a quote or invoice, do not include any taxes, handling, shipping, transportation, duties or other charges or fees. Buyer is responsible for payment of all applicable fees and all federal, state, municipal, and other government taxes (including, but not limited to withholding taxes) on the sale and delivery of Products. Exemption certificates, valid in the place of delivery, must be presented to Ingram prior to shipment if they are to be honored. Subject to Ingram’s sole discretion and final acceptance, if required by local law to withhold taxes from payments to Ingram, Buyer may deduct such taxes from the amount owed to Ingram and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority, provided however that Buyer delivers to Ingram an official certificate for the tax withheld issued by the relevant tax authority within 30 days of payment of the applicable invoice, and any other documents reasonably requested by Ingram to claim a foreign tax credit or refund. Payments of the net sum to Ingram and the withholding tax to the relevant tax authority shall constitute full settlement of the amount owing under the invoice. Ingram’s acceptance of Buyer’s order occurs at time of shipment, except for non-standard products. If Buyer is offered Special Pricing for certain purchase orders and such pricing is made available to Ingram Micro by Vendor, Buyer shall adhere to the applicable Special Pricing terms and conditions provided by the Vendors, and Buyer agrees to indemnify Ingram Micro for any claims made against Ingram Micro by the Vendors for Buyer’s non-compliance with the Vendors' terms and conditions of such special pricing. Buyer agrees to pay any service fees charged for Ingram Micro's pass through of Special Pricing and other Vendor driven benefits Buyer may receive, including any marketing funding, price protection and individual rebates, and agrees that pass through and payment of such benefits will be subject to Ingram Micro having received the benefits from Vendor. The Special Pricing terms may oblige Buyer to comply with certain requirements including but not limited to: (i) the sale of the Products only to specifically named customers/end users; (ii) the disclosure of customer/end user information to Ingram Micro and the Vendor for the purpose of end-user verification; (iii) the submission of copies of customer invoices, purchase orders or shipping documents to Ingram Micro and the Vendor; and (iv) exporting the products into the authorized country(ies) in the Latin American region as specified by the Product’s Vendor. Subject to the Special Pricing terms and conditions applicable for the individual Vendor and Products, breach of the Special Pricing terms and conditions may entitle Ingram Micro and/or the Vendor to reclaim and invoice Buyer in full for all discounts, rebates and other special price conditions granted to Buyer under the Special Pricing terms and conditions or special price. Buyer agrees and understands that any special discounts or promotions offered by Ingram Micro are only applicable to Products that are exported into the authorized country(ies) in the Latin American and the Caribbean region as specified by the Vendor. If Buyer does not export the products into the authorized country(ies) in the Latin American and the Caribbean region as specified by the Vendor, Buyer agrees to reimburse Ingram Micro the value of special discounts and promotions and indemnify Ingram Micro from and against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, costs and expenses caused by Buyer when failing to comply with this provision.
Shipment. Shipment and transportation charges will be in accordance with Ingram’s shipping policy at the time of shipment. Title and risk of loss transfer to Buyer upon delivery of Products to carrier. If Buyer directs Ingram to bill transportation to a third- party account number or to ship ‘freight collect’, Buyer is responsible for all transportation and accessorial charges associated with the order, and is responsible for product loss and damage in transit claims with the Buyer’s carrier. Ingram is not liable for any Buyer requirements not stated in these Sales Terms. Within three days of delivery Buyer must provide detailed notification to Ingram of any visible damage to the Products. Buyer must notify Ingram of any claimed shortages or discrepancies within three (3) days of invoice, or the Products will be deemed accepted and Buyer waives its right to such claim.
Returns. Buyer may only return Products as permitted in these Sales Terms. Products otherwise will be non-returnable and the prices and fees will be non-refundable. Buyer may only return erroneously shipped Products or Products that were damaged prior to shipment. Products damaged after shipment may not be returned. In order to be eligible to receive credit for returned Products, Buyer must adhere to Ingram Micro’s then current returns processing guidelines. Buyer must obtain a valid return authorization number (“RMA”) from Ingram for all returns prior to returning Product. Ingram has no obligation to issue RMAs. Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the RMA is clearly visible on the address label of the Product packaging and for complying with all other Ingram requirements provided to Buyer when the RMA is issued. Ingram may refuse delivery of any package without a valid, clearly visible RMA. Credit, if any, will be provided for Product returned in accordance with Ingram’s return policies at the time the RMA was issued, provided Buyer is not in breach of any of these Sales Terms. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Ingram Micro, all Product returns from Buyer are DDP (Incoterms 2010) Ingram Micro’s designated facility, and title and risk of loss will transfer to Ingram Micro upon receipt and acceptance of returned Products at Ingram Micro’s facility. If Buyer returns any Products without Ingram’s authorization or does not comply with Ingram’s return requirements, those Products may be subject to return to the shipping location and, if refused, Ingram may consider the Products abandoned and dispose of them, without crediting Buyer’s account.
Ingram Micro reserves the right to charge a restocking fee for handling any Product that is erroneously returned. Ingram Micro’s sole liability for any returned Products will be acceptance of their return and issuance of credits pursuant to Ingram Micro’s then current returns processing guidelines.
Warranties / Indemnities. Buyer acknowledges that Ingram Micro is not the manufacturer of the Products. Product warranties, if any, are provided by the Vendor of the Products. INGRAM EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.
