  1. ORDERS: ALL ORDERS ARE SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE BY CONFIRMATION IN WRITING BY INVENSENSE’S AUTHORIZED OFFICERS. These terms and conditions apply to all quotations made and purchase orders accepted by InvenSense; they are an integral part of the agreement between InvenSense and Purchaser. Any additional or different terms or conditions provided by Purchaser on Purchaser’s acknowledgement form or any other material provided by Purchaser (ā€œPurchaser Termsā€) are deemed to be a material alteration of this agreement and are hereby objected to by InvenSense and shall be deemed inapplicable to this agreement, unless otherwise specifically agreed to in a writing signed by an authorized representative of InvenSense. Notwithstanding any requirement by Purchaser that Purchaser Terms apply, Purchaser’s acceptance of InvenSense products or services or technical advice in connection with the Products or Purchaser’s order will constitute Purchaser’s rejection of the Purchaser Terms and acceptance by Purchaser of this agreement. In the event that for this agreement Purchaser’s terms shall be deemed to be an offer, InvenSense hereby rejects such offer and proposes that an agreement be formed on the terms hereof. InvenSense’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Purchaser shall not be deemed a waiver of these terms and conditions
     
  2. QUOTATIONS: Subject to the provisions hereof, all quotations submitted are firm for thirty (30) days from the date of the quotation unless indicated differently on the face of the quotation, and thereafter InvenSense may change the quotation without notice. Price quotations, including any applicable quantity break prices, apply only to quantities shipped within eight (8) months from date of quotation.
     
  3. PRICES: Applicable prices are those specified in InvenSense’s quotation or, if the quotation has expired, those specified in InvenSense’s confirmation and do not include applicable destination charges or taxes. InvenSense reserves the right to quote and/or adjust prices involving precious metal content of products to reflect fluctuations in precious metal prices. Prices are subject to revision when interruptions, delays, engineering changes or changes in the quality are caused or requested by Purchaser. Prices are also subject to revision based on changes in economic and financial conditions after the date of quotation or confirmation over which InvenSense has no control. All prices quoted and confirmed are subject to correction for clerical errors.
     
  4. TAXES: In addition to the applicable prices, Purchaser agrees to pay an amount equal to any and all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, duties and other levies, which amounts shall be an additional charge to Purchaser hereunder.
     
  5. LEADTIME AND FORECAST: The initial delivery for the first order shall be fourteen (14) weeks from acceptance of the purchase order unless otherwise specified in writing. Thereafter, orders will be shipped per Purchaser’s specified shipment schedule. Purchaser shall provide InvenSense with a twelve (12) month rolling forecast beginning with the issuance of the initial purchase order. Said purchase order shall contain expected monthly volumes for the 12 months ahead which shall be updated each month and provided to InvenSense no later than the 5th day of each month.
     
  6. PACKAGING: Standard packaging for domestic commercial shipment is included in the quoted price. When special packaging is specified or required involving expense exceeding that for standard domestic commercial shipment, Purchaser will reimburse InvenSense for the additional expense. Reasonable care is exercised in packaging goods for shipment and InvenSense assumes no responsibility for delay, breakage or damage after delivery to the carrier. Purchaser will file any claims for breakage or damage with the carrier and InvenSense will render reasonable assistance in securing satisfactory adjustment of such claims.
     
  7. TITLE AND DELIVERY: All sales are F.O.B. point of shipment. Title and risk of loss pass to Purchaser upon delivery items to carrier at shipping point, which delivery shall constitute delivery to Purchaser for all purposes. Unless otherwise specified by InvenSense, the point of shipment shall be InvenSense’s designated facility. Unless specific instructions from Purchaser specify which method of shipment is to be used, InvenSense will exercise its own discretion. Shipping dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt by InvenSense from Purchaser of all necessary information.
     
  8. PAYMENT: (a) Unless credit is extended, payment will be required in full prior to shipment. In the event Purchaser becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, or fails to pay InvenSense’s invoices as they become due, InvenSense may cancel any order then outstanding and receive reimbursement for the cancellation damages.
     
    (b) Each shipment shall be considered a separate independent transaction, and payment thereof shall be made accordingly. If shipments are delayed by Purchaser, InvenSense may invoice on the date when InvenSense would have made shipment but for the delay.
     
    (c) In case of a partial return of goods by Purchaser owing to defects covered by warranty, the relevant invoice shall be paid within the term stated, for the amount corresponding to the products and/or services accepted. Purchaser is in no event entitled to make reductions on the invoice unit prices or quantities without prior written approval of InvenSense. If invoiced amounts are not paid when due, Purchaser will pay, in addition to all amounts otherwise due InvenSense and without limiting any remedies available to InvenSense at law or in equity, a delinquency charge in the amount of one and one-half percent per month (eighteen percent per annum) on such overdue amounts.
     
    (d) Purchaser grants to InvenSense a security interest in all items purchased by Purchaser from InvenSense to secure payment in full of all amounts due from Purchaser to InvenSense. Purchaser will cooperate with InvenSense to do all acts deemed necessary or advisable by InvenSense to perfect said security interest.
     
  9. CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULE: (a) No cancellation for InvenSense’s default shall be effective unless InvenSense shall have failed to correct such alleged default within forty five (45) days after receipt by InvenSense from Purchaser or written notice of default.
     
    (b) Orders accepted by InvenSense are firm and non-cancelable. InvenSense will not accept cancellations or reschedule of orders, other than for default of InvenSense or upon payment of all InvenSense’s costs incurred for and reasonably allocated to the portion of the work already terminated and/or work in process, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and together with cancellation charges shown in
    (f) below. Deliveries scheduled within ninety (90) days from time of shipment cannot be changed unless authorized in writing by InvenSense.
     
    (c) If the termination involves custom products, such as but not limited to, Special Marked products and/or Special Screened products, cancellation charges for such products shall equal the order price for the total number of units representing work in process. Unless otherwise agreed and confirmed in writing by InvenSense, items scheduled for shipment are not subject to revision, reschedule or termination within ninety
    (90) days prior to date quoted by InvenSense.
     
    (d) InvenSense reserves the right to cancel the remaining quantity of an item or an order when the value of the remaining quantity is below minimum item or order value accepted by InvenSense.
     
    (e) InvenSense reserves the right to cancel all or part of any order accepted if inaccurate or incorrect information is supplied by Purchaser, which in InvenSense’s judgment, affects InvenSense’s financial risk or ability to perform its obligations under the order, or otherwise materially changes the rights or responsibilities of Purchaser and/or InvenSense under the order.
     
    (f) InvenSense reserves the right to invoice the Purchaser a cancellation charge which may include, but not be limited to, bill back to the unit price of the quantity delivered to the Purchaser, times that quantity, less a credit for any amount previously paid by the Purchaser and a cancellation charge based on the value of the unshippable value of the order.
     
  10. SERVICES; CHANGES TO SPECIFICATIONS: Services will be provided on a time and materials basis at InvenSense’s then current hourly rates or at rates mutually agreed to in writing. InvenSense will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any agreed deliverables in accordance with the delivery schedule as agreed by InvenSense.

InvenSense owns and will continue to own all worldwide right, title and interest in any materials, documentation, and software that are used in performing the services, as well as any deliverables created during the performance of or resulting from the services.
