Seller’s silence or failure to respond to any such subsequent term, condition or proposal shall not be deemed to be Seller’s acceptance or approval thereof.

Terms & Conditions of Sale
These Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Terms and Conditions") between Tech Data Corporation on behalf of itself and its U.S. subsidiaries (together "TDC") and the entity purchasing products from TDC ("Buyer") govern the sale, license, resale and distribution, as applicable, of third-party vendor ("Vendor") hardware, products, services and software (including all open source licensed or distributed by Vendor, or incorporated into any Vendor software) and TDC services, which consist of a variety of services sold and/or performed by TDC (as opposed to third-party vendor services resold by TDC) ("TDC Services") (collectively "Products") by TDC to Buyer. Certain TDC Vendors require TDC to pass-through terms for the Product to resellers and end users. By purchasing the Product from TDC, Buyer agrees to these Vendor pass-through terms, which are located at https://tdcontent.techdata.com/reseller/secure/commerce/promos/vendor-pass.aspx.
1. ACCEPTANCE OF PURCHASE ORDERS
Acceptance: Buyer accepts these Terms and Conditions through any of the following, whichever occurs first: (a) Buyer submits a purchase order, whether electronically, by phone, or in writing ("Order") to TDC; (b) Buyer provides written acknowledgment; (c) Buyer accepts any shipment of any Products; or (d) Buyer performs any other act or expression of acceptance. All Orders are subject to TDC acceptance, which may occur in writing, Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") acknowledgment, or execution of the Order. Acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety without addition, modification or exception. TDC rejects any term, condition, or proposal submitted by Buyer (whether oral or in writing) which are inconsistent with or in addition to these Terms and Conditions. TDC's silence or failure to respond to any subsequent or different term, condition, or proposal shall not be deemed to be TDC's acceptance. Buyer may not change, cancel, or reschedule orders for Products without TDC's prior written consent.
Quotations: Quotes from TDC are applicable for the period specified in the quote. TDC reserves the right to allocate the sale of Products among its buyers. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by TDC, quotes are invitations to tender and are subject to change at any time without notice. All information relating to TDC pricing is proprietary and confidential and Buyer will keep such information confidential.
2. DELIVERY
Shipping Policy:Unless otherwise agreed in writing, TDC will deliver or arrange to deliver the Products in accordance with TDC's shipping policy in effect on the date of shipment. The current TDC shipping policy is located at http://www.techdata.com/
Domestic: For all domestic transactions, including drop shipments, title to the Products and all risk of loss or damage with respect to the Products, except software or services, shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the carrier or Buyer's representative at the logistics center where the Products are located.
International: For all international transactions, including drop shipments, the Product will be shipped FCA (Free Carrier) from the logistics center where the Products are located (Incoterms 2020). TDC assumes no responsibility for Additional Fees as defined in Section 4(a) for the country designated for delivery by the Buyer. Title and risk of loss, except for software or services, shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery to the Buyer or Buyer's representative at TDC's logistics center or, for drop shipments, upon delivery of the Products to the first common carrier.
Delivery Information:Delivery is subject to TDC's receipt of all necessary information and documentation from Buyer including all import certificates, exemption or resale certificates, licenses, and other documents required from Buyer for export of the Product. Buyer shall notify TDC of any claimed shortages or rejections of delivery per the requirements stated in TDC's then current return policies located at http://www.techdata.com/ ("Return Policies") and must meet all other TDC requirements as stated in the Return Policies. Buyer shall provide such notice in writing and with reasonable detail, stating the grounds for any such rejection. Buyer's failure to give such notice within the time specified is deemed an acceptance in full of any such delivery.
3. TDC SERVICES
Limited TDC Services Warranty:TDC warrants that TDC Services will be performed in a reasonable and workmanlike manner. To the extent permitted by law, TDC makes no other warranty, express or implied, such as warranty of merchantability, fitness for purpose or non-infringement. Buyer's sole remedies for breach of this Limited TDC Services warranty are, at TDC's sole discretion, to: (i) re-perform the TDC Services, or (ii) refund the portion of the fees paid by Buyer that relate to the non-conforming TDC Services.
Exclusive Remedy:THIS SECTION STATES TDC'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR TDC SERVICES. BUYER MUST NOTIFY TDC IN WRITING OF ANY ALLEGED BREACH OF WARRANTY NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE APPLICABLE TDC SERVICES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TDC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, SUCH AS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TDC DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. IN PARTICULAR, TDC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY TDC IS UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
4. PRICE AND PAYMENT
Additional Fees:TDC's prices stated on invoices and quotations are for Products only and do not include applicable federal, state, municipal and other government taxes (such as sales, use, value-added, and similar taxes), as well as import or customs duties, license fees, freight (except as otherwise provided in TDC shipping policy) and any other similar charges, however designated or levied on the sale or delivery of the Products or measured by the purchase price paid for the Products ("Additional Fees"). Buyer is responsible for all Additional Fees. TDC shall invoice Buyer for all taxes applicable to sales of the Products, itemized by type and jurisdiction, which TDC is required by law to collect from Buyer. Exemption certificates must be presented to TDC prior to shipment if they are to be honored. Upon Buyer's request, TDC will provide Buyer with sufficient documentation to enable Buyer to complete any necessary tax filings or claim any applicable tax credits for amounts paid to TDC. If applicable law requires Buyer to deduct any amount from the amounts to be paid to TDC due to withholding taxes or any other taxes or levies of any kind, Buyer shall pay all such additional amounts so that the net amounts received by TDC are the amounts specified on the invoice. To the extent that any withholding tax is payable, TDC and Buyer shall mutually collaborate and provide any and all assistance reasonably requested to obtain the benefits of any applicable tax treaty between the country where the TDC entity that accepted Buyer Order is located and the applicable jurisdiction where the withholding tax applied.
Payment Terms: Payment is due as stated on TDC's invoice without offset or deduction for withholding taxes or any other fees. TDC, at its discretion, may require reasonable advance assurances of payment through irrevocable bank letters of credit or otherwise. All unpaid invoices will bear interest at an amount equal to 1-1/2% of the outstanding balance per month (or the maximum rate of interest allowed to be contracted for by law, whichever is less), starting on the date payment is due. Buyer's failure to make timely payment may result in such action as commencement of proceedings for collection, revocation of credit, cancellation of Orders, stoppage of shipment, delay or cessation of future deliveries, repossession of unpaid delivered goods, and termination of any one or more sales agreements. At any time, TDC may change the terms of Buyer's credit. TDC may apply payments to any of Buyer's accounts. Notwithstanding any "net" payment provisions specified on the invoice, TDC shall have no continuing obligation to deliver Products on credit, and any credit approval may be withdrawn by TDC at any time and without prior notice. Prior to accepting an Order, TDC may require Buyer to grant TDC a security interest in the Product, plus all accounts resulting therefrom as a condition of accepting an Order. Buyer agrees to execute a Security Agreement in a form acceptable to TDC, and Buyer authorizes TDC to file financing statements as TDC deems appropriate to perfect and/or continue TDC's purchase money security interest therein.
Collections: If TDC engages an attorney or collection agency for the purpose of collection, or enforcing TDC's security interest in the Products, with or without litigation, Buyer shall pay any and all associated costs, including and without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs (whether incurred prior to, during, or subsequent to trial), collection, bankruptcy, or other creditor's rights proceedings. TDC reserves the right to effect a recoupment, to set off of any funds due at any time to Buyer from TDC, and to set off any amounts against amounts owed by Buyer to TDC.
Currency: If a sale is to occur (or the Product is to be shipped) outside of the United States, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the amount due TDC shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. Any payment by Buyer in local currency or the receipt by TDC of local currency as a consequence of enforcement procedures against Buyer will be deemed (a) an authorization for TDC to use that local currency to purchase U.S. Dollars or, (b) if such purchase is prohibited by local law, an authorization to purchase appropriate bonds or other instruments and export them from the Buyer's country in order to convert the currency into U.S. Dollars and apply the proceeds to the payment of any amounts owed to TDC by Buyer. Buyer is responsible for any deficiency as a result of conversion of payment into U.S. Dollars.
5. RETURN
Returns:All Product returns are subject to TDC's Return Policies. All Orders that are identified by TDC as non-standard or "NCNR" are non-cancelable and non-returnable. If TDC issues a return authorization to Buyer allowing Buyer to return Product to TDC, Buyer will deliver the Product to TDC's specified address in the United States and Buyer shall bear Additional Fees designated or levied, on any replacement Product to be shipped by TDC to Buyer. If TDC determines such Products are not eligible for return, TDC will, at its sole discretion, send such Products back to Buyer on freight collect basis, or hold such Products (at Buyer's expense) for Buyer's collection and on Buyer's account. The right to return defective Products as set forth herein shall constitute TDC's sole liability and Buyer's exclusive remedy in connection with any claim of any kind relating to the quality, condition, or performance of any Product, whether such claim is based upon breach of contract, warranty, negligence or other tort, breach of any statutory duty, indemnity or contribution, the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy to achieve its essential purpose, or otherwise.
