Terms and Conditions
All quotations and sales are subject to Cerus’ terms and conditions GOVERNING PROVISIONS AND ACCEPTANCE: Acceptance of an order by Cerus shall be expressly conditioned on Purchaser’s assent to these conditions. Once an order is accepted by Cerus, Purchaser may not cancel the order without Cerus’ consent, which may be given or not in Cerus’ sole discretion. These terms are a complete statement of the parties’ agreement and may only be modified in writing signed by both parties. Failure to object to provisions contained in any Purchase Order or other communication from the Purchaser (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind) shall not be construed as a waiver of these Conditions nor an acceptance of any other provisions. These terms may not be modified by course of dealing, course of performance or usage of trade. These terms supersede all previous written or oral quotations, statements or agreements. Any contract for sale by and between the parties shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Oregon without regard to its rules on the conflict of laws. The Convention on the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. All orders are subject to acceptance by Cerus. PRICE POLICY: All prices are subject to change without notice. All clerical errors are subject to correction. Written quotations shall be valid for no more than sixty (60) days from their date. Quotations are subject to change by Cerus with notice to Purchaser. TERMS OF PAYMENT: Acceptance of all Purchase Orders is subject to Purchaser meeting Cerus credit standards. Terms are subject to change for failure to meet such standards. Terms are net thirty (30) days from date of invoice of each shipment, unless otherwise stated in Cerus’ quotation. Past due accounts are subject to 1.5% per month interest charge, plus any attorneys fees and other costs associated with collections. DELIVERY: Product is sold F.O.B. Hillsboro, Oregon. Delivery by Cerus to the point of shipment constitutes delivery to the Purchaser; and title and all risk of loss or damage in transit shall pass to the Purchaser at time of delivery at the F.O.B. point. Cerus is not responsible for breakage after having received “in good order” receipts from the carrier. Purchaser is responsible for pursuing any damage claims with the carrier. FORCE MAJEURE: Cerus shall not be liable for any damages as a result of any delays due to any causes beyond Cerus’ control, including, without limitation, an act of God; act of Purchaser or Cerus supplier; embargo or other governmental act; regulation or request; fire; accident; strike; slowdown; flood; fuel or energy shortage; sabotage; war; riot; delay in transportation and inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or manufacturing facilities from usual sources. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period of time reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of such delay. PURCHASER’S ACKNOWLEDGEMNT OF COMPLIANCE AND SAFE PRACTICES: To the extent that Purchaser installs or operates the Products, Purchaser agrees to follow all applicable local and national codes. It is Purchasers responsibility to determine which codes should be followed, and to verify that the equipment, installation and operation are in compliance with the latest revision of these codes. Compliance with OSHA and other federal, state or local laws during the operation or use of the product(s) is the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. All applicable sections of the National Fire Code, National Electrical Code, and the codes of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) should be adhered to with respect to equipment. There may be additional local regulatory or government offices that determine applicable codes and standards necessary for safe installation and operation. Purchaser agrees to use appropriate documentation for installation, operation, and troubleshooting for equipment. This documentation typically accompanies the product and purchaser should not rely on diagrams and other information found in marketing brochures and website. PRODUCTS NOT FOR USE IN HAZADOUS LOCATIONS: Cerus products are not fault tolerant and are not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communications systems, air traffic control, life support, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the product could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical, environmental, or property damage. PRODUCT NOTICES: Purchaser shall promptly supply the user (including its employees) of the product with all Cerus supplied product notices, warnings, instructions, recommendations and similar materials. CANCELLATION: Cerus shall have the right to cancel any order or contract at any time by written notice for any material breach of the contract. PRODUCT MODIFICATIONS: Product features and specifications may be revised by Cerus at any time.

PRIVACY

Cerus Industrial knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Cerus Industrial, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CUSTOMERS DOES CERUS INDUSTRIAL GATHER?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at Cerus Industrial. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Cerus Industrial. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at Cerus Industrial if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Cerus Industrial if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust Your Profile Preferences.

Information from Other Sources:
We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as Order Pad and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of Cerus Industrial's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on for our website.

DOES CERUS INDUSTRIAL SHARE THE INFORMATION IT RECEIVES?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries Cerus Industrial, Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Agents:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Promotional Offers:
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Cerus Industrial customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust Your Profile Preferences.

Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Cerus Industrial, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Cerus Industrial and Others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Cerus Industrial, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

HOW SECURE IS INFORMATION ABOUT ME?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?
Cerus Industrial gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with Cerus Industrial for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such Cerus Industrial, Inc. features as Order Pad.

You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the "Which Information Can I Access?" section above. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust Your Profile settings. (If you do not want to receive Conditions of Use and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of Cerus Industrial, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to use such important features as Order Pad if you do not use cookies.

In addition, the Federal Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on its own Web site, Site Seeing on the Internet.

CONDITIONS OF USE, NOTICES, AND REVISIONS

If you choose to visit Cerus Industrial, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Oregon. If you have any concern about privacy at Cerus Industrial, please send us a thorough description to info@cerusindustrial.com and we will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
