These terms and conditions form an integral part of the quotation and/or invoice on the sale of goods or products (the “Product” or “Products”) by AT&S Pte Ltd and its group of companies (the “Seller”). In the event of conflicting provisions between these terms and conditions and that of the quotation, the terms of the quotation shall prevail to the extent of such conflict but no further. These terms and conditions take precedence over the customer’s (the “Buyer”) supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Buyer’s acceptance of the goods or products from the Seller shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.
1. Prices
All prices quoted are in Singapore Dollars, unless stated otherwise, and exclude prevailing GST, any
custom duties or taxes payable to government bodies. For prices that are quoted in currency other than
Singapore Dollars, such prices are to be converted into Singapore Dollars using the rates provided by the
currency convertor at sg.finance.yahoo.com as at the due date of the invoice.
2. Validitya
All quotations given are valid for fourteen (14) days from the date of such quotation and shall automatically lapse thereafter, unless extended by the Seller in writing, including email.
3. Delivery and Title
Unless stated otherwise, the estimated delivery dates are as follows:
(a) For ex-stock items, the delivery is within fourteen (14) of receipt of order acknowledgement by the
Seller; and
(b) For indent items, the delivery is subject to confirmation of incoming shipment by the Seller.
Title and risk of loss is passed to the Buyer upon delivery of the Product to the agreed point of delivery or appointed agent.
4. Payment Terms
Unless stated otherwise, payments for Product purchased by the Buyer are due thirty (30) days after the delivery date or invoice date, whichever is the earlier date. Time is of the essence where payment is concerned. Interest on late payment of invoices may be imposed on the Buyer at one percent (1.0%) per month from the expiry of the payment terms of the invoice until full payment is made, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Seller without any further notice or reference to the Buyer. The Seller shall separately issue an invoice to bill for the late payment interest at such time and in the manner as the Seller deems fit and appropriate.
In the event that the Buyer breaches its payment obligations, the Seller may (without prejudice to its other rights and remedies) (a) suspend the whole or any outstanding part of the sale until Buyer has rectified this breach, and/or (b) terminate the contract entirely.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller’s decision to suspend the whole or any or any outstanding part of the sale pending the Buyer’s rectification of the breach is without prejudice to the Seller’s right to terminate the contract.
In the event that the contract is terminated by the Seller, the Buyer shall be liable for any loss or damage occasioned by or arising from such termination including but not limited to the Seller’s loss of profit and any cancellation charges imposed by the Seller’s suppliers due to the Seller’s cancellation of orders made by the Buyer.
5. Third Party Inspection
Specification, testing and inspection are as per the Mill or Manufacturer’s Certificate. Any request by Buyer for additional testing is chargeable at prevailing market rates. The Seller does not guarantee the satisfactory results for testing and inspection that are not within the standard specification. If requested, the additional time required for such testing and inspection shall be discussed and mutually agreed between the Seller and Buyer. Where no such agreement can be made, the Seller shall be entitled not to proceed with such additional testing without incurring any liabilities towards to the Buyer.
6. Limited Warranty
The Seller will transfer to Buyer any Product warranties and indemnities authorized by the manufacturer, including any transferable warranties and indemnities for intellectual property rights (“IPR”) infringement. Unless otherwise indicated in the quotation, Seller warrants to Buyer that Products purchased hereunder will conform to the applicable manufacturer’s specifications for such products for a period of three (3) months from delivery. If Seller breaches this warranty, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy is limited to (at Seller’s election): (1) refund of monies paid by Buyer for such affected Products (without interest), provided such monies have been received by the Seller, or (2) repair of such affected Products, or (3) replacement of such affected Products; provided that such affected Products must be returned to Seller at the costs of the Buyer, along with satisfactory evidence of defect(s), within 30 days from date of delivery, transportation charges and all requisite charges and duties prepaid by the Buyer. No warranty will apply for normal wear and tear, or if the Product has been subject to misuse, mismanagement, improper or wrongful handling, static discharge, neglect, accident or modification, or has been soldered.
Save as expressly provided in these terms and conditions, all implied warranties, terms and conditions (whether statutory or otherwise) are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, Seller makes no warranty respecting the merchantability of the Products or their suitability or fitness for any particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights and warranties against latent defects.

Buyer’s recovery from Seller for any claim shall not exceed the purchase price paid for the affected products irrespective of the nature of the claim whether in contract, tort, warranty, or otherwise.
Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any claims based on (a) Seller’s compliance with Buyer’s designs, specifications, or instructions, (b) modification of any Product by anyone other than Seller, or (c) use in combination with other products.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against claims, demands, liabilities or costs whatsoever for loss of or damage to the property of the Buyer, or for personal injury or death of any member of the Buyer’s group (including its contractors and/or sub-contractors, employees, servants and/or agents) howsoever arising out of or in connection with the performance of the contract.

10. Non-Waiver
No failure, delay or omission on the Seller’s part in exercising any right, power or remedy in the contract shall impair such right, power or remedy, or be construed as a waiver of it or acquiescence of any default of the Buyer, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Seller of any such right, power or remedy preclude further exercise of it or the exercise of any right, power or remedy including any rights, remedies, claims, whensoever, howsoever arising in relation to the contract by the Seller against the Buyer.
