1. PAYMENT; DELIVERY. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due in U.S. Dollars within 30 days of the date of shipment. Charges for services are due upon receipt of invoice. Interest in the maximum amount permitted by law may be charged on past due invoices. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs and expenses incurred in the collection of amounts past due, including attorneys' fees. All quoted delivery dates are approximate and shall commence when Seller has acknowledged receipt of documents required to effect shipment. Seller may require payment in advance if it believes the financial condition of Buyer does not justify shipment, or subsequent deliveries, on the payment terms originally specified. If the Buyer becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or a proceeding is brought by or against Buyer under such laws, Seller may cancel any outstanding order, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for its cancellation charges. Seller reserves the right to ship and to make collection by sight draft.
1. 付款；交货。除非另有约定，否则应在发货之 日起 30 天内以美元付款。服务费用应在收到发票后予以支付。对于逾期发票，可能会收取法律允许的最高金额利息。买方应向卖方偿付因收取逾期款项而产生的所有成本和开支，包括律师费。所有引用的交货日期均为近似日期，应在卖方确认收到发货所需文档时开始计算。如果卖方认为买方的财务状况不足以按照最初指定的付款方式合理支付发货或后续交货的费用，则卖方可能会要求提前付款。如果买方破产或资不抵债，或根据此类法律由买方提起或针对买方提起诉讼，则卖方可以取消任何未完成的订单，并且买方应向卖方偿付其取消订单的费用。卖方保留通过即期汇票发货和收款的权利。
2. RISK OF LOSS; TITLE. Unless otherwise agreed, the risk of loss passes to Buyer when the goods are delivered to the carrier. Where the risk of loss has passed to Buyer, or where Buyer has selected the method of shipment or delivery, Buyer must obtain redress for freight losses, shortages or damages from the carrier or its insurer. Seller is not responsible for any such losses. Notwithstanding any provision of INCOTERMS or contained herein, equitable title and accession to the goods shall, where permitted by law, remain with Seller until Buyer is paid in full. This shall be the case even if legal title to the goods shall be deemed by law to have passed to Buyer at the time of delivery and prior to performance of all of Buyer's obligations. Buyer shall grant, and by acceptance of the goods is deemed to have granted, to Seller a first security interest in all goods to secure payment of amounts owed by Buyer. Buyer agrees to execute a financing statement at Seller's request. Seller may reclaim any goods delivered or in transit if Buyer fails to make payment when due.
2. 损失风险；所有权。除非另有约定，否则损失风险在货物交付给承运方时即转移给买方。如果损失风险已转移给买方，或者买方选择发货或交货方式，则买方必须从承运方或其保险公司处就货运损失、短缺或损坏获得补偿。卖方不对任何此类损失负责。尽管有国际贸易术语解释通则或此处包含的任何规定，在法律允许的情况下，货物的衡平法所有权和添附权应归卖方所有，直至买方全额付款才转移给买方。即使货物的合法所有权在交货时和买方履行所有义务之前依法视为已转移给买方，情况也是如此。买方应授予卖方所有货物的第一担保权益，并通过接受货物视为已授予卖方此权益，从而确保买方支付欠款。买方同意应卖方要求履行资金调度声明。如果买方未能按期付款，卖方可以收回任何已交付或在途的货物。
3. SHIPMENT. Unless otherwise agreed, prices are FCA Seller's factory (Reference INCOTERMS 2010) and any charges Seller may be required to pay or collect on the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, use or transportation of the goods shall be paid by Buyer. Method of shipment or delivery will be at Seller's discretion unless otherwise agreed.
3. 发货。除非另有约定，否则购买价格为 FCA 卖方的出厂价（参考《2010 年国际贸易术语解释通则》），并且卖方在销售、购买、交付、储存、使用或运输货物时可能需要支付或收取的任何费用均应由买方支付。除非另有约定，否则发货或交货方式将由卖方自行决定。
4. TAXES; RE-EXPORT. Any government tax, fee, duty or charge on the sale, purchase, delivery or use of the goods and/or services sold hereunder shall be paid by Buyer, in addition to the purchase price, unless otherwise agreed. Certain goods are subject to international export control regulations. Buyer shall be responsible for compliance with all regulations related to the export of goods to end-users including, but not limited to, adherence to the US Export Administration Regulations. Buyer agrees to provide Seller with any end user information requested by Seller necessary to support compliance with all regulations related to the export of goods. Further Seller shall be provide access to Buyer’s facility, as necessary, for the purpose of performing an audit on Buyer’s export compliance program.
4. 税收；再出口。除非另有约定，否则除购买价格外，销售、购买、交付或使用根据本协议出售的货物和/或服务的任何政府税费、费用、关税或收费均应由买方支付。某些货物受国际出口管制法规的约束。买方应负责遵守与向最终用户出口货物相关的所有法规，包括但不限于遵守美国出口管制法规。买方同意向卖方提供其要求的任何最终用户信息，以此支持遵守与货物出口相关的所有法规。必要时，卖方应获许进入买方设施，以便对买方的出口合规计划进行审计。

Within that time Buyer shall send Seller a written notice specifying any respects in which the goods or repairs are nonconforming.
