PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. DEFINITIONS AND INTEGRATION. Enventure Global Technology Inc., 15995 N. Barkers Landing Road Ste 350, Houston, Texas 77079 is hereinafter referred to as “Buyer” or “Owner”. “Seller” will be identified and defined as set forth within this Purchase Order. Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to buy the goods, work and/or services described in and furnished under this Purchase Order (the “Goods”), for the price and on the terms of payment shown herein. This Purchase Order, including these Terms and Conditions, together with the purchase order form, and the attachments, exhibits and documents expressly referenced therein (collectively, this "Purchase Order"), becomes effective when (a) executed by both the Buyer and Seller or (b) when Seller acknowledges an electronic Purchase Order or (c) when Seller commences performance or tenders the Goods after issuance to Seller by the Buyer. This Purchase Order constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Goods, superseding all proposals, negotiations and counterproposals. Unless otherwise specified in this Purchase Order, this contract will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., exclusive of conflict of laws principles, in effect on the date executed by Buyer. Buyer will have no obligation to make any payment to the Seller before and unless this Purchase Order becomes in full force and effect in accordance with this paragraph.
2. CONTROLLING TERMS. Buyer objects to the inclusion of any different or additional terms by Seller in Seller's acceptance of this Purchase Order. Electronic commerce transactions between Buyer and Seller will be solely governed by this Purchase Order and any terms and conditions on Seller’s internet site will be null and void and of no legal effect on Buyer and any Owner. If this Purchase Order has been issued by Buyer in response to an offer by Seller, and if any of the terms herein are different from or additional to any terms of Seller’s offer, then the issuance of this Purchase Order by Buyer will constitute a conditional acceptance of Seller’s offer as amended by Buyer and result in a binding contract if Seller assents by execution or performance hereof to Buyer’s different and/or additional terms. If Seller includes or attaches any such different and/or additional terms in Seller’s purported and executed acceptance, but proceeds to commence performance or tender all or any part of the Goods, Seller expressly agrees that such execution constitutes an acceptance of Buyer’s Purchase Order and a binding contract will result solely upon Buyer’s terms and conditions as stated in this Purchase Order, which contract will not include Seller’s different and/or additional terms or conditions.
3. CONFLICTING REQUIREMENTS. Upon Seller’s discovery that any requirement or provision of this Purchase Order or its attachments may conflict with any other requirement or provision contained therein, it is Seller's responsibility to give Buyer written notice of such alleged conflict, for resolution by Buyer according to Buyer’s sole discretion. If Seller proceeds with performance without notification to Buyer for resolution of such conflict, then all costs incurred in correcting Seller's erroneous interpretation will be for Seller’s account.
4. INSPECTION, EXPEDITING, AND DOCUMENTATION. Seller is fully responsible for the implementation of this Purchase Order, including as applicable for the design, fabrication, manufacture, production, and construction of the Goods, and for compliance with all terms, conditions, specifications, drawings, and other requirements of Buyer, in accordance with the laws and codes of any applicable jurisdiction. Seller will have the obligation, and Buyer will have the right, to inspect and expedite the Goods in process of manufacture, in storage, in transit, and upon delivery to assure compliance herewith. Buyer will be supplied by Seller upon request or as needed with data, drawings, specifications, test results, quality documentation, schedules and other documents and information in accordance with the documentation requirements included in this Purchase Order. Buyer's inspection, waiving of inspection, review, approval, or acceptance of the Goods or provision of any information, drawings or data hereunder will not relieve or discharge Seller either expressly or by implication of Seller’s responsibilities and obligations under this Purchase Order.
5. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE DATE(S) OF DELIVERY SPECIFIED HEREIN ARE CRITICAL AND TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THE PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF SUBSTANTIAL LOSS TO BUYER, VARIOUS CONTRACTORS AND OWNER (IF ANY). SELLER’S FAILURE TO MEET THE DELIVERY DATES WITHOUT BUYER’S WRITTEN CONSENT MAY CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF CONTRACT OR DEFAULT HEREUNDER. In the event of delay, or anticipated delay, from any cause, Seller will immediately notify Buyer in writing of the delay or anticipated delay, and its approximate duration, and Seller will undertake to shorten or make up the delay by all reasonable and expeditious means. Buyer, at its option, may require or approve in writing a new shipping or delivery date, or progress requirements, in response to Seller’s notice. If Seller fails to meet the shipping or delivery date or progress requirements established in this Purchase Order without Buyer’s written approval, Buyer may in such case, without penalty, cancellation or other fee, and without prejudice to any other rights which it may have, cancel all or any part of the Purchase Order and make such other arrangements as Buyer may consider necessary or desirable under the circumstances.

Unless otherwise specified herein, title to the Goods (and in the event that the Goods are made to order, then title to all material, inventory and work in progress, design data, other documentation, and all contractual rights thereto) will vest in Buyer (or Owner if Buyer is acting as Owner’s agent) immediately upon acceptance of the Goods by Buyer. If Goods are made to order and the Purchase Order specifies that title will vest in the Goods upon identification to this Purchase Order, upon such passage of title, Seller will take action to segregate the Goods and clearly label them as property of Buyer (or Owner if applicable). Seller warrants free and clear title to the Goods, free and clear from any and all liens, restrictions, reservations, security interests and encumbrances. Seller is responsible for properly and carefully packing and shipping the Goods, at its expense unless otherwise specified herein, and will comply with any documentary requirements or instructions of Buyer or Owner (if any) in the shipment process. Irrespective of vesting of title and any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller will bear the risk of loss and damage, and will insure or self-insure for the benefit of Seller, Buyer, and the Owner (if any) the Goods in its care, custody and control, including free issue material supplied to Seller for incorporation into, or work in conjunction with, the Goods, until the same are delivered in good condition and accepted by Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Purchase Order. Seller shall inspect all free issued materials within twenty four (24) hours of arrival at Seller’s facility and shall immediately notify Buyer of any discrepancies or damage therein. If Seller does not comply with the notification provision, Seller shall be solely responsible for replacing any damaged materials including the cost of any expediting work that may be required due to the change in delivery dates.
7. CONFORMING GOODS AND ACCEPTANCE. The Goods will conform strictly to the description, data, drawings, plans, specifications, performance criteria, and sample if any, and other requirements of Buyer. The Goods will be new, of the latest design or model conforming to any Buyer requirements, merchantable, fit for the purpose(s) intended under this Purchase Order, and of the best quality. No substitution in whole or in part will be permitted without the prior written approval of Buyer. Prior to shipment, Seller will carefully inspect and test the Goods for conformance to the requirements of this Purchase Order.

There will be no substitutes or shipment of more or less than the quantity specified without the prior written approval of Buyer. Upon delivery of the Goods or in any other location or time as may be specified herein, Buyer will conduct a visual inspection of the Goods in accordance with its standard procedures and may accept or reject the Goods, in whole or in part, provided that Buyer reserves all rights provided for herein to reject any Goods, in whole or in part, at a later time upon discovery of a latent defect not apparent by such normal visual inspection. If Goods received do not conform to those ordered, or if more or less than the quantity ordered are shipped, Buyer may reject such shipment in whole or in part by giving notice thereof to Seller. Seller will remove any rejected Goods at Seller's expense within ten (10) working days after notice. If any Goods are rejected by Buyer, Seller will not ship any replacement Goods without the prior written approval and directions of Buyer.
