(“AXELLIO”) of any non-software products (“Products”) to the purchaser (“Customer”), and/or the sale or provision by AXELLIO to the Customer of any services (“Services”) as specified in the associated quotation, order acknowledgement, or invoice from AXELLIO (“Order”) shall be governed exclusively by these terms and conditions (“Terms”). AXELLIO OBJECTS TO AND HEREBY REJECTS ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS PROPOSED BY CUSTOMER, INCLUDING THOSE CONTAINED ON ANY PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED BY CUSTOMER. Customer’s right to the Products and/or Services is contingent upon Customer’s acceptance of these Terms. Any changes to the Terms must specifically agreed to in writing executed by AXELLIO and Customer before becoming binding on either party. To the extent a conflict or inconsistency exists between these Terms and any document submitted to AXELLIO by Customer, these Terms will control.

Unless otherwise provided on the associated Order or otherwise agreed to in writing by authorized AXELLIO personnel, AXELLIO warrants that AXELLIO branded Products sold by AXELLIO will be free from defects in material and workmanship for 3 years from the date AXELLIO ships the Product; provided, however, that with regard to third party branded Products sold by AXELLIO to Customer, AXELLIO shall pass through to Customer the original manufacturer’s warranty to the extent permissible. AXELLIO's warranty shall not apply to any Products that are not installed or operated in conformity with AXELLIO's published instructions, or to any Products which have been subject to misuse, negligence, or accident, or altered or repaired by anyone other than AXELLIO or AXELLIO's duly authorized agent. In all cases, AXELLIO has sole responsibility and discretion for determining the cause and nature of a Product defect, and AXELLIO's determination with regard thereto shall be final.

When notifying AXELLIO of or returning any Products that fail to meet an applicable warranty, Customer shall comply with AXELLIO’s then-current Return Material Authorization procedure. Customer hereby assigns to AXELLIO ownership of, any part, component, or item removed from a Product by AXELLIO under these Terms for any reason. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IN THE EVENT PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFIED AS USED OR RECONDITIONED, THE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY AXELLIO MAY BE LESS PROTECTIVE THAN THE WARRANTIES OFFERED FOR NEW PRODUCTS OF THE SAME KIND.
- WARRANTY FOR SERVICES. If Customer has purchased Services, then this Section 3 shall apply. AXELLIO warrants that the Services will be performed in a workmanlike manner. Customer’s exclusive remedy for a breach of this warranty is for AXELLIO to re-perform the Service at no extra charge.

AXELLIO hereby reserves, and Customer hereby grants to AXELLIO, a purchase money security interest (“PMSI”) in the Products sold hereunder and all the proceeds thereof, including but not limited to, insurance proceeds, to secure performance of all of Customer’s obligations hereunder. Customer’s failure to pay any amount when due shall give AXELLIO the right to repossess and remove the Products. Customer agrees, without further consideration, at any time to do or cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts and instruments as AXELLIO may reasonable request in order to perfect AXELLIO’s PMSI and shall not object to AXELLIO’s filing of such instruments.

- INDEMNIFICATION. AXELLIO will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer from any third-party claim made against Customer for infringement of any United States patent, copyright, or trademark by the Products, provided that Customer (i) promptly notifies AXELLIO of any such claim; and (ii) gives AXELLIO all information, authority and assistance reasonably necessary to settle and/or defend any such claim.

AXELLIO reserves the right to make additional engineering changes as necessary, and to charge Customer for costs and expenses incurred by AXELLIO associated with any servicing or repair of a Product or component for which there is no problem observed (NPO), regardless of whether the Product is returned to AXELLIO for repair or AXELLIO deploys resources to make the repair.
- SPECIAL ORDERS. Customer acknowledges that if this purchase is a special order for custom goods, the provisions of this paragraph supersede any conflicting general terms of these Terms.

Customer acknowledges that the laws and regulations of the United States restrict the export and re-export of certain commodities and technical data of United States origin. Customer will not export or re-export the Products or any related technical documentation in any form in violation of the export or import laws of the United States or any foreign jurisdiction. Customer shall not, without U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer any goods, software, or technology subject to these Terms, either directly or indirectly, to any country subject to a U.S. trade embargo or to any resident or national of any such country, or to any person or entity listed on the “Entity List” or “Denied Persons List” maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce or the list of “Specifically Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury. Customer and its personnel, agents and representatives agree to abide by the obligations imposed by the laws of the countries in which Customer does business (including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) regarding payments or gifts to governments or related persons for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AXELLIO from and against any violation of such laws or regulations by Customer or its agents, officers, directors, or employees.

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado as applied to agreements between Colorado without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. Customer shall only bring an action arising from or relating to these Terms in a federal court in Denver, Colorado or in state court in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Customer irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such court in such action or in any action brought in such courts by AXELLIO. Customer irrevocably consents to the service of process from any of the aforesaid courts by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Customer at its address designated pursuant to these Terms, with such service of process to become effective fifteen (15) days after such mailing. Customer agrees to pay AXELLIO's reasonable attorney's fees and costs required to enforce AXELLIO's rights hereunder. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms.
- GENERAL. No waiver of rights under these Terms by either party shall constitute a subsequent waiver of this or any other right under these Terms, and all waivers must be in writing to be effective. Neither these Terms nor any rights under these Terms shall be assigned or otherwise transferred by Customer (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of AXELLIO and any unauthorized transfer or assignment shall be void. These Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. In the event that any of the terms of these Terms are held to be illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, all remaining terms of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms together with AXELLIO’s associated Orders (if applicable) constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, written or oral. In the event the terms of a Order contain additional or different terms than these Terms, the terms of the Order will govern and control. These Terms may only be amended by a written document signed by both parties.
