General Purchase Order Terms and Conditions
1. Applicability. This purchase order is an offer by Trilliant Food and Nutrition, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (the “Buyer”) for the purchase of the goods specified on the face of this purchase order (the “Goods”) from the party to whom the purchase order is addressed (the “Seller”) in accordance with and subject to these terms and conditions (the “Terms”; together with the terms and conditions on the face of the purchase order, the “Order”). This Order, together with any supply agreement or other agreement between the parties and the documents incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Order, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter of the Order. The Order expressly limits Seller’s acceptance to the terms of the Order. These Terms prevail over any terms or conditions contained in any other documentation and expressly exclude any of Seller’s general terms and conditions of sale or any other document issued by Seller in connection with this Order. These Terms apply to any repaired or replacement Goods provided by Seller hereunder.
2. Acceptance. This Order is not binding on Buyer until Seller accepts the Order in writing or starts to perform in accordance with the Order. If Seller does not accept the Order in writing or provide written notice that it has commenced performance within three (3) business days of Seller’s receipt of the Order, this Order will lapse. Buyer is not obligated to any minimum purchase or future purchase obligations under this Order. Buyer may withdraw the Order at any time before it is accepted by Seller.
3. Change Order. No change to this Order is binding upon Buyer unless it is in writing, specifically states that it amends this Order and is signed by an authorized representative of Buyer. Buyer may at any time, by written instructions issued to Seller (each a “Change Order”), make changes within the scope of this Order in any one or more of the following: (a) specifications; (b) method of shipment or packing; (c) place and time of delivery; (d) quality; (e) quantity; or (f) scope or schedule of Goods. If any change causes an increase or decrease in the cost or schedule of any work under this Order, Seller shall within forty-eight (48) hours, or an extended time as mutually agreed to by the parties based upon the requested changes in the Change Order, of receipt of a Change Order submit to Buyer a firm cost proposal or updated schedule for the Change Order. If Buyer accepts such cost proposal or updated schedule, such changes shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing and Seller shall proceed with this Order subject to the Change Order and revisions accepted in connection with same. Seller acknowledges that a Change Order may or may not entitle Seller to an adjustment in the Seller’s compensation or the performance deadlines under the Order. If Buyer does not accept Seller’s cost proposal or updated schedule, it may rescind the Change Order or terminate the Order.
4. Delivery Date. Seller shall deliver the Goods in the quantities and on the date(s) specified in this Order or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties (the “Delivery Date”). Timely delivery of the Goods is of the essence. If Seller delivers Goods prior to the Delivery Date without Buyer’s prior consent, Buyer has the right to (a) return any Goods delivered prior to the Delivery Date at Seller’s expense and Seller shall redeliver such Goods on the Delivery Date or (b) as applicable, charge Seller storage fee(s) for such Goods. Seller must notify Buyer in writing a minimum of ten (10) business days in advance if the Delivery Date will not be met. Upon receiving such notice or if the Delivery Date is not met, Buyer shall have the option to, in each case at Seller’s sole risk and expense: (a) approve a revised Delivery Date; (b) direct Seller to ship the goods on an expedited basis at the earliest possible time; (c) accept substitute goods proposed by Seller, to be shipped by Seller on an expedited basis; (d) in combination with (a), (b) or (c), reduce the quantity of the Order; (e) purchase substitute Goods from a third party and charge Seller with the increased difference in cost thereof (if any); or (f) cancel the Order without liability. Seller shall indemnify Buyer against any losses, claims, damages, and costs and expenses directly attributable to Seller’s failure to deliver the Goods on the Delivery Date. The foregoing is in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity.
5. Quantity. If Seller delivers more or less of the quantity of Goods ordered, Buyer may reject all or any excess Goods. Any such rejected Goods shall be returned to Seller at Seller’s risk and expense and Seller shall be charged and responsible for any applicable costs, fees and expenses, including storage fees, of the Buyer. If Buyer does not reject the Goods and instead accepts the delivery of Goods at the increased or reduced quantity, the Price for the Goods shall be adjusted as agreed by the parties.
6. Delivery Location. All Goods shall be delivered to Buyer’s loading dock at the address specified on the face of this Order (the “Delivery Location”) during Buyer’s normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by Buyer.

The Order number must appear on all shipping documents, shipping labels, bills of lading, air waybills, invoices, correspondence and any other documents pertaining to the Order. In the event that these documents are not provided or do not contain the proper information, Seller shall promptly provide or revise for conformance with this Section and the requirements of these Terms. If any such delay causes a delay in Buyer’s use of the Goods, Seller shall be charged and responsible for any applicable costs, fees and expenses related to same.
8. Title and Risk of Loss. Title passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Location. Seller bears all risk of loss or damage to the Goods until such Goods are accepted by Buyer.
9. Packaging. Goods must be clearly marked and labeled with recommendations and/or warnings necessary for the Buyer’s handling of the Goods. Where applicable, Goods must be adequately protected in materials suitable for contact with food or consumables. All Goods shall be packed for shipment according to Buyer’s instructions or, if there are no instructions, in a manner sufficient to ensure that the Goods are delivered in undamaged condition in a customary manner following Buyer’s standard guides of delivery. The methodology of transport (i.e. trailer) shall be subject to a requirement of passing inspection pursuant to the Buyer’s standard delivery requirements. Seller must provide Buyer prior written notice if it requires Buyer to return any packaging material. Any return of such packaging material shall be made at Seller’s expense.
10. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. The Buyer has the right to inspect the Goods before, on or after the Delivery Date. Buyer, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the Goods, and may reject all or any portion of the Goods if it determines the Goods are nonconforming or defective. If Buyer rejects any portion of the Goods, Buyer has the right at its sole option, effective upon written notice to Seller, to: (a) rescind the Order in its entirety; (b) accept the Goods at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject the Goods and require replacement of the rejected Goods. If Buyer requires replacement of the Goods, Seller shall, at its expense, promptly, but in any event within fourteen (14) days of notice or such other period of time as mutually agreed to by the Buyer and Seller, replace the nonconforming Goods and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, unpacking, examining and repacking such Goods, transportation charges for the return of the defective goods and the delivery of replacement Goods. If Seller fails to timely deliver replacement Goods, Buyer may replace them with goods from a third party and charge Seller the cost thereof and terminate this Order. Any inspection or other action by Buyer under this Section shall not reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligations under the Order, and Buyer shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
11. Price. The price of the Goods is the price stated on the face of the Order (the “Price”). Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Price includes all packaging, transportation costs to the Delivery Location, storage, insurance, customs duties and fees and applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, use or excise taxes. No increase in the Price is effective, whether due to increased material, labor or transportation costs or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Buyer.
12. Invoicing; Payment Terms. Seller shall issue an invoice to Buyer on or any time after the completion of delivery and only in accordance with the Terms. Delays in receiving an invoice, errors or omissions, or lack of supporting documentation may be cause for delay of payment. Seller’s invoice must reference the applicable order number, quantity and part number(s) of the goods, or the quantity or other description of the services, covered hereby. Buyer shall pay all properly invoiced undisputed amounts due to Seller within sixty (60) days after Buyer’s receipt of such invoice, except for any amounts disputed by Buyer in good faith. All payments hereunder must be in US dollars. The parties shall seek to resolve all such disputes expeditiously and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing its obligations under the Order notwithstanding any such dispute.
13. Setoff. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, Buyer reserves the right to set off at any time any amount owing to it by Seller against any amount payable by Buyer to Seller under this Order or any other agreement between the parties. If Buyer exercises its action under this Section, it shall provide notice to Seller for same within the period of required payment under Section 12 for such invoice being set off against.
14. Quality and Audit Rights. In order to assess Seller’s work quality and/or compliance with this Order, upon reasonable notice by Buyer, all goods, materials and services related to the Goods purchased hereunder, including, raw materials, components, assemblies, work in process, tools and end products shall be subject to quality inspection and test by Buyer or regulatory authorities at all places, including sites where the Goods are made or located, whether at Seller’s premises or elsewhere. Seller agrees to cooperate with such audit and quality inspection, including completing and returning questionnaires, making available its knowledgeable representatives and granting access to any applicable sites during normal business hours. Buyer’s inspection or failure to inspect or reject or detect defects by inspection shall not relieve Seller from its responsibilities under this Order nor impose liabilities on Buyer. If the Buyer determines that there is a quality issue and Seller is unable or unwilling to remediate such issue, Buyer shall have the right to immediate termination of this Order without liability.
15. Recall. Buyer has the exclusive right to initiate and/or direct any stop sale, recall, market withdrawal, stock recovery, corrective action plan, or advisory safety communication (a “Recall Action”) with respect to the Goods or any product incorporating the Goods. Buyer may direct Seller to, and upon such direction Seller shall, conduct such Recall Action. Seller shall fully cooperate with Buyer in any Recall Action, including, without limitation cooperating with regulatory agencies, notifying consumers, sequestering the Goods in its distribution chain, and assisting in the transfer of Goods, as directed by Buyer or regulatory agency, if necessary. Seller shall respond promptly to any question or request for information received by Buyer from any regulatory agency or customer pertaining to the Goods. Seller shall provide Buyer all necessary information in its possession arising out of a Recall Action, including any quality assurance program for the Goods. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of a Recall Action, Seller shall reimburse Buyer any amounts Buyer paid Seller for such Goods as well as any costs and expenses incurred in connection with initial receipt of the Goods, such as transportation costs. In addition to any other available remedy to Buyer, Seller shall bear all costs associated with any Recall Action attributable to the Goods or to Seller’s actions or omissions, including but not limited to, the cost of locating and identifying Goods, the cost of investigating and/or inspecting the affected Goods, the cost of decontaminating the affected lines in manufacturing (including internal labor costs), the cost of destroying Goods, the cost of packing and shipping the recalled Goods, the cost of notifying Buyer’s customers, and the cost of media notifications, if such form of notification is needed.
16. Warranties. Seller warrants to Buyer that for a period of twelve (12) months from the Delivery Date, all Goods will: (a) be free from any defects in workmanship, material and design; (b) be of new and merchantable quality, and, when applicable, not used, rebuilt or made of refurbished material; (c) conform to applicable specifications, drawings, designs, samples and other requirements specified by Buyer; (d) be fit for their intended purpose and operate as intended; (e) be merchantable; (f) be free and clear of all liens, security interests or other encumbrances; and (g) not infringe or misappropriate any third party’s patent or other intellectual property rights.

Any applicable statute of limitations runs from the date of Buyer’s discovery of the noncompliance of the Goods with the foregoing warranties. If Buyer gives Seller notice of noncompliance with this Section, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense and at the Buyer’s option, promptly, but in any event within fourteen (14) days of notice or such other period of time as mutually agreed to by the Buyer and Seller, replace or repair the defective or nonconforming Goods and pay for all related expenses, including, but not limited to, transportation charges for the return of the defective or nonconforming goods to Seller and the delivery of repaired or replacement Goods to Buyer.

In addition to any remedies that may be provided under these Terms, Buyer may also terminate this Order or any part hereof with immediate effect upon written notice to the Seller, either before or after the acceptance of the Goods, if Seller has not performed or complied with any of these Terms, in whole or in part.
