This Agreement may not be varied or changed, nor any of its provisions waived except in writing, signed by an authorized representative of the Seller. In addition to any other method of acceptance, Customer’s receipt of the goods constitutes its acceptance of all of the terms and conditions hereof.

2.0 Pricing

2.1 Prices are as posted in the Seller’s price sheets and/or website, however, prices and specifications are subject to change without notice. Seller normally makes pricing changes on an annual basis and provides thirty (30) days notice to existing Customers before this annual price adjustment. Pricing for custom items will be calculated by the Financial Services department on a case-by-case basis.

2.2 Prices are based on U.S. Currency only.

2.3 Claims for price adjustment on any order for shortage must be submitted to Louroe Electronics within seven (7) days from date of receipt of the order. Exceptions to this policy are handled on an individual basis.

2.4 Minimum Advertised Price. This MAP Policy shall work under the following guidelines

2.4.1 The MAP Policy shall apply to all Louroe Electronics Products sold by Distributor. Distributor agrees not to advertise any Louroe Electronics Products at a price lower than the MAP as determined by Louroe. The MAP Policy Pricing for Products shall be equal to Integrator pricing as listed on each Louroe price sheet made available to Authorized Distributors. MAP pricing is established by Louroe Electronics and may be adjusted by Louroe Electronics at its sole discretion.

2.4.2 The MAP Policy applies to all advertisements of selected Louroe Electronic Products in any and all media, including, without limitation, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail order catalogs, Internet or similar electronic media including websites, email newsletters, email solicitations, television, radio, and public signage. The MAP policy is not applicable to any in-store advertising that is displayed only in the store and not distributed to any customer. In-store displays, point-of-sale signs, hangtags or bar codes or similar marks on Products or product packaging which merely state the price are not considered “advertising” for purposes of this MAP Policy. In that regard, this MAP Policy does not apply to the actual sales price on any “check-out page” of any Distributor website or related internet site (typically the page at which the end user finally purchases the product).

This MAP Policy does apply to any other page(s) on the Distributor website.

2.4.3 It is strictly prohibited for Distributor to list for sale, directly or indirectly, on any Internet action site including but not limited to eBay, Yahoo Auctions, or similar ecommerce websites, Louroe Electronics Products at prices less than MAP. If selling Louroe Electronic Products through auction, opening bids must start at MAP and “Buy it Now” options must be listed at a price equal or greater than MAP. Internet auctions may not display or have reserved bid or other acceptable prices below the MAP price.

2.4.4. “Bundling” or including a free or discounted product (whether made by Louroe or another manufacturer) with a Louroe product covered by this MAP Policy would violate this policy and is not permitted.

2.4.5. If pricing is displayed, any strike-through or other alteration of the Minimum Advertised Price is prohibited.

2.4.6. The MAP Policy applies only to advertised prices. MAP does not apply to the price at which the Products are actually sold or offered for sale within the Distributor storefront/branch location or over the telephone. Distributor remains free to sell the Products covered by MAP at any price.

2.4.7. The MAP Policy does not establish maximum advertised prices. Distributor may offer Louroe Electronics Products at any price in excess of the MAP established for such Products.

2.4.8. The MAP Policy does not in any way limit the ability of Distributor to advertise that “they have the lowest prices” or, they “will meet or beat any competitor’s price,” that consumers should “call for a price,” “add product to shopping cart for price,” or phrases of similar import as long as the price advertised or listed for the Products is not less than MAP.

2.4.9. Louroe Electronics reserves the right to modify or suspend its MAP Policy by notifying Distributor of such a change. Louroe Electronics further reserves the right to adjust the MAP with respect to all or certain Products at its sole discretion upon 30 days advance written notice to Distributor provided that such changes shall apply equally to all Distributors.

2.4.10. In recognition of cases in violation of the MAP Policy, Louroe will bring in writing to the Distributor the request for remedy and allow the distributor twenty-four (24) hours to bring advertising into compliance or Louroe Electronics will cease supplying Products to Distributor until Distributor is under compliance. In cases of intentional and/or repeated failure to abide by this policy, Louroe Electronics may, at its sole discretion, suspend Distributor’s distributorship, reduce the distributor discount offered to Distributor, and terminate all orders from Distributor.

2.4.11. When any violations of this Agreement or the MAP Policy occur, all interested parties, including the unauthorized dealer, defined as a seller of Louroe Electronics™ Products with whom Louroe either does or does not have a formal distributorship, will be notified immediately that they are in violation of Louroe’s MAP Policy. In the event an unauthorized dealer is found to have purchased Products from a known, approved Louroe distributor or dealer and is advertising or marketing in violation of the MAP Policy, both parties will be notified. Distributor is responsible for the re-sale actions of their customers and will be held accountable for any violations of this Agreement or the MAP Policy.

2.4.12. This MAP Policy is solely Louroe Electronics’s decision and responsibility. The foregoing MAP
Policy and any MAP Product Listing is subject to modification or discontinuance by Louroe Electronics, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time. Any action taken by Louroe Electronics under this policy shall be without liability to Louroe Electronics.

3.0 Delivery & Shipping

3.1. All products will be shipped “EXW, VAN NUYS, CA”. The seller makes the goods available at his/her premises. This term places the maximum obligation on the buyer and minimum obligations on the seller. The Ex Works term is often used when making an initial quotation for the sale of goods without any costs included. EXW means that a buyer incurs the risks for bringing the goods to their final destination. The seller does not load the goods on collecting vehicles and does not clear them for export. If the seller does load the goods, he does so at buyer’s risk and cost. If parties wish seller to be responsible for the loading of the goods on departure and to bear the risk and all costs of such loading, this must be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale.
Merchandise will be shipped via ground transport unless otherwise specified. Expedited shipping is available. The costs associated with shipping are borne by the Customer. Customer may provide an account number with a major shipping company.

3.2 The majority of products normally ship three (3) business days from date of order acceptance. Please contact Seller for a current list of long lead time products. Seller will assign estimated ship dates based on the production requirements and the date that the order is received and accepted. Orders accepted before 12:00 noon Pacific Time will enter into processing the same day. Orders accepted after 12:00 noon Pacific Time will enter into processing the following business day. Seller shall make every reasonable effort to meet the delivery date quoted and/or acknowledged. However, Seller will not be held liable for its failure to meet such date. In the event of delays, Seller will advise Customer of the delayed ship date. Orders which cannot be shipped for more than ninety (90) days from date of order may be canceled by mutual written agreement.

3.3 Seller shall not be liable for loss, damage, detention, or delay due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including but not limited to force majeure delays. In case of delay in performance due to any such cause, the date of delivery or time for completion will be adjusted to reflect the actual length of time as may be necessary to properly reflect the delay. The Customer’s receipt of the Products shall constitute a waiver on any claims for delay. Claims for delay in shipment, shortage, and damage must be initiated by the Customer with the carrier unless the carrier requires that Seller file the claim. Claims for shortages, or incorrectly filled orders must be made within five (5) days after receipt of shipment.

3.4 In the event that Customer requests a firm ship date before the standard lead time, subject to the Customer’s prior approval, Seller reserves the right to apply a 10% expedite fee to the price of expedite product in order to meet said firm ship date. Not all products or quantities are available for expediting.

3.5 Product weight quoted on current price list is the weight of the product only. The container and packing materials are not included.

3.6 Seller reserves the right to ship complete orders in advance of the ship date specified and partial orders with prior approval from Customer.

3.7 A fee of $10 will be charged for all orders being drop shipped to a location other than the Customers warehouse or Customer’s branch.

22.0 Demo and Proof of Concept (POC)

In order to maximize a sale opportunity: Louroe recognizes the value of demonstrating to first timers, the design, the tailored application, and the quality of the performance of these professional class products. Louroe offers* a Demonstration process.
Beyond the Demonstration event, many end-users technical and tactical stakeholders who are serious require a proof-of-concept offered before purchasing even for a pilot project. Verifying the product(s) in a deployment operation as offered by the representative, can minimize further objections to a purchase. Louroe offers* a Proof-Of-Concept (“POC”)

• Physical assets such as product for demonstration are to come through the MFG. REP.  Other deemed qualified by the Mfg. Rep (Rep. and/or the principle) can request a Demo unit from Louroe via the Company Regional Manager or our Technical Services Specialists. Be prepared to tie the Demo unit into an end-user. Demonstration that is conducted along with the end-user’s chosen integrator stands a greater probability to close the opportunity.  Do not release control of the Demo unit without seizing the opportunity to gather information about the project(s). The units will be tasked to demonstrate Louroe’s Brand Promise, the product’s working ability to compliment the system and bring benefit the project.
• Products for a proof of concept (“POC”) usually involves placing the product in a use case/application scenario. For us integrators, this may be a “bench Test” in their facility. Audio asset placement in the working environment, Installation, interconnection, and inter-operation are all elements of a proof of concept.  Said another way, this POC confirms Louroe’s representative’s Subject Matter Expert Opinion of operating the asset as explained and noting the benefits as stated.
• IF a Demo product is requested directly by an end-user, it must first be acknowledged and approved by Louroe Regional Management and the Representative. Period of performance for the Demo is during the design phase of the project, usually at the Vendor qualification meeting between parties. The best practice is to have the decision makers participate in the demonstration meeting. Unless approved by the Representative, the demonstration product is not to stay with the integrator / end-user. It is the property of the Company and assigned to the Mfg. Rep.’s assets
• The POC will be up to 30 days, given schedule of priorities and replicating the working environment. The User’s Credit Card authorization form furnished by Louroe information and project considerations are completed and noted, and then the end-user can request an additional 30 days for POC completion. The authorization form will be held on file before a sales order will be prepared and the product then shipped to the Mfg. Rep. to distribute.
• When the POC has been completed, the Mfg. Rep. will request a Return Authorization Number. To apply for a RMA number, go to www.louroe.com/support/rma or call (818) 994-6498 ext 215. Once the unit has been returned to Louroe and evaluated by Louroe Technical Support, a credit memo will be issued and applied to the original invoice. If the Demo/POC product is not returned within the specified time, or is damaged thru neglect, Louroe will charge the credit card on file.
