between Rackapps ("Rackapps ") and You (the "Customer") regarding any equipment, features, upgrades, other items (collectively, the "Products") and related services (the "Services") that are sold, licensed, rendered or otherwise provided by Rackapps to Customer from time to time.  Customer's placement of an order with Rackapps constitutes acceptance of these Terms.  Rackapps performance of Customer's order is expressly conditioned upon Customer's acceptance of these Terms and Customer's agreement that these Terms will supersede and take priority over any additional or inconsistent terms and conditions in any existing or future purchase order, confirmation or other similar document from Customer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in any purchase order, confirmation or other similar document will in any way modify or add to these Terms, and any terms or conditions contained in a purchase order, confirmation, or other similar document from Customer that are in any way inconsistent with or additional to these Terms are hereby rejected.

a. All prices quoted are on a per occurrence basis, unique to a specific proposal, and are subject to change without notice. All quotes are subject to termination by Rackapps at any time prior to receipt and acceptance of Customer's purchase order.

b. An accepted order can be canceled only with Rackapps written consent, and only on terms that will indemnify Rackapps against resulting losses (including, but not limited to, any costs already incurred by Rackapps in performing the order). In no event, will a cancellation be allowed after Products have shipped.  A cancellation charge may be assessed to Customer in accordance with Rackapps then-current cancellation charges. Rackapps grants to Customer the right to cancel the outstanding portion of an accepted purchase order if Rackapps fails to ship the product within thirty (30) days after the scheduled ship date provided the delay in shipment is not due to credit issues or other actions taken by Customer.

c. Customer shall pay all invoices in cash.  If Rackapps has, in its sole discretion, agreed to extend credit to Customer sufficient to cover the applicable invoice (and all other outstanding invoices), then Customer shall make payment within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Otherwise such invoice shall be payable immediately upon receipt or, if required by Rackapps in advance of shipment.  Rackapps may issue partial invoices for partial shipments. Rackapps reserves the right to establish, terminate or alter credit limits and terms, to delay shipment of orders, to require full or partial prepayment or to require alternate terms and conditions based upon Customer's payment history, financial condition, or any other matter that in Rackapps determination adversely affects the likelihood that Customer will make timely payment in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Customer fails to timely pay any invoice, or if its financial condition becomes impaired or unsatisfactory to Rackapps may require Customer to provide satisfactory security and may withhold further deliveries until such security is received.  Any amount payable by Customer that remains unpaid after the applicable payment due date will be subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowable by law from the due date until such amount is paid. Customer shall reimburse Rackapps   for reasonable attorneys' fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent payments. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars unless otherwise agreed by Rackapps in writing on a case by case basis.

d. Customer hereby grants, and agrees to grant, to Rackapps a continuing security interest, and a purchase money security interest, in all the Products and the proceeds thereof, to secure payment of the amounts set forth in the invoices issued by Rackapps to Customer. These security interests will be satisfied upon payment in full of all invoices. Customer authorizes Rackapps to file a copy of the invoice and/or a financing statement with appropriate government authorities at any time in order to perfect the foregoing security interests.
