TEXAS INSTRUMENTS SOUTHEAST ASIA PTE. LTD. (“TI”) TERMS OF SALE

1. Applicability, Offer and Acceptance. 

Orders for Items placed through TI.com shall be subject to additional terms set forth below in Appendix A: Supplemental Terms for TI.com Transactions.

Items are for commercial use only and not intended for personal or consumer use.

Buyer may offer to buy Items and, in the case of Evaluation Items, may offer to buy and/or take delivery, under these terms by submitting an order to TI. TI may accept or reject any order at TI’s sole discretion.

Where Buyer submits its order through TI.com, TI’s order confirmation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute TI’s acceptance of Buyer’s order or confirmation of an offer to sell and/or deliver an Item. Acceptance takes place only when TI either (i) sends a confirmation that the Item has shipped or (ii) sends an express confirmation of acceptance. Such acceptance only relates to those Items whose shipment have been confirmed or that TI has identified in an express confirmation of acceptance.

The terms in this contract are the sole terms governing TI’s sale or provision of Items to Buyer. TI’s acceptance of Buyer’s offer is expressly limited to these terms. TI hereby objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Buyer, including those contained in Buyer’s purchase order, unless TI expressly agrees to such terms in writing. Capitalized words will have the meaning described in the Glossary of Defined Terms located at the end of this contract.

TI may, at any time prior to accepting Buyer’s offer, decline, reject, cancel, or limit Buyer’s order for any reason, including, without limitation: if an Item is not available; if TI determines an Item has an issue requiring repair; in the event of errors in item or pricing information; or if TI (or its authorized business partners) identify issues relating to credit and fraud avoidance. Should this occur, Buyer will be informed and any payments Buyer has made with respect to such Items, if any, will be refunded to Buyer.

2. Prices.

Where applicable, TI communicates pricing to customers in various ways (e.g., quotes) and confirms transaction prices with its order acknowledgements. Prior to shipment, TI’s price may change due to adjustments in specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements, requested delivery dates, or other changes to conditions. The final price in effect on the date of shipment as stated in TI’s invoice applies. Unless otherwise agreed, prices are in U.S. Dollars and Payment must be in U.S. Dollars.

For purchases made on TI.com, see Appendix A for additional terms.

3. Delivery. 

Unless TI notifies Buyer otherwise, shipments will be delivered FCA (Incoterms 2020) TI’s point of shipment. Risk of loss or damage will pass to Buyer upon TI’s delivery to the TI designated shipping point. Any subsequent loss or damage will not relieve Buyer from its obligations. Buyer is solely responsible for costs of freight and insurance after delivery to the TI designated shipping point. If TI incurs freight or insurance costs on Buyer’s behalf, Buyer must promptly reimburse TI for such freight or insurance costs.

Unless TI notifies Buyer otherwise, Buyer is importer of record and is responsible for all import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred or licenses or clearances required. TI may deliver Items in instalments.

Where applicable, TI will communicate to Buyer an Estimated Ship Date. TI will not be liable for any damage, loss, or expense incurred by Buyer if TI fails to meet the Estimated Ship Date.

Buyer hereby grants TI, for itself and as collateral agent on behalf of each of TI’s subsidiaries, a security interest in (i) all present and future Items sold or delivered by TI to Buyer; (ii) all present and future books and records, including, without limitation, books of account and ledgers, computer programs, computer software, and data relating to Buyer or to any personal property subject to a security interest granted herein; and (iii) all proceeds, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, including, without limitation: (A) all rents, issues, royalties, and profits of or from any of the foregoing, (B) all personal property now or hereafter received by Buyer upon the sale, exchange, lease, transfer, or other disposition of any of the foregoing, and (C) any amounts now or hereafter payable under any insurance policy by reason of any loss or damage to any of the foregoing or any proceeds thereof to secure the prompt and unconditional payment and performance by Buyer of all indebtedness, obligations, debts, and liabilities owed to TI. Buyer agrees, upon request by TI, to execute promptly any documents and perform any other acts at Buyer’s sole expense that TI deems necessary or advisable to confirm, continue and/or perfect the security interests granted in this Section. In addition to and not in limitation or derogation of the foregoing, Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes TI to execute and file any one or more financing statements covering all personal property subject to the security interests granted in this Section. 

Unless TI notifies Buyer otherwise, with regard to international shipments that transit through international waters or airspace, title transfers to Buyer immediately after Items leave the jurisdictional territory of TI’s point of shipment. Unless TI notifies Buyer otherwise, with regard to domestic shipments and international shipments that do not transit through international waters or airspace, title transfers upon delivery to Buyer’s carrier or nominee at TI’s point of shipment.

For purchases made on TI.com, see Appendix A for additional terms.

4. Cancellations and Rescheduling.

For Products, Wafer Products and Die Products, Buyer may cancel or reschedule orders according to the following rules:

For Evaluation Items: Orders for Evaluation Items may not be cancelled or rescheduled.

Notwithstanding the above rules, certain Items are subject to special cancellation and reschedule terms that TI will communicate to Buyer prior to order acceptance.

5. Payment Terms. 

Where applicable, Payment is due thirty (30) Days after TI’s invoice date. TI may change or withdraw credit amounts or payment terms at any time for any reason. If Buyer or its affiliate(s) fails to make Payment when due, TI and its affiliates may suspend or cancel performance under any agreements, including delay or cancellation of shipment on any open orders. TI will not be liable for, and Buyer will hold TI harmless from, any costs or losses resulting from suspension or cancellation on account of Buyer’s failure to make Payment. Buyer may not deduct any Payment amounts on account of unresolved disputes. TI may charge Buyer 1.5% per month on overdue accounts (18% per year) to the extent permitted by law.

For purchases made on TI.com, see Appendix A for additional terms.

6. Taxes. 

Prices do not include any taxes including, without limitation, sale, value-added tax, goods and services tax or similar taxes. TI will add taxes to the sales price on its invoices where required by applicable law and Buyer will pay such taxes unless Buyer provides TI with a duly executed sales tax exemption certificate before invoicing. If Buyer is required by law to withhold any amount of tax from its Payment to TI, Buyer will take all reasonable steps to minimize such withholding tax, provide TI with a receipt or certificate as evidence the tax has been paid, and reimburse TI for the amount of withholding so that TI receives Payment for the full value of the invoice.

7. Contingencies. 

TI will not be in breach of this contract and will not be liable for any non-performance or delay in performance if such non-performance or delay is due to a force majeure event or other circumstances beyond TI’s reasonable control, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, including but not limited to, shortages of labor, energy, fuel, machinery or materials, technical or yield failures, war, civil unrest, epidemic, pandemic any government act, law or regulation, including any judicial order or decree, any communication or power failure, labor dispute, natural disaster, fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, terrorist act, or Act of God. In the event of a shortage of components, TI may, at its sole discretion, allocate Item production and deliveries.

8. Warranties and Related Remedies.

8.1 Subject to Sections 8.2 through 8.4, 9 and 11 below, TI warrants to Buyer that each (i) Product conforms to TI’s published Specifications for such Product for a period of twelve (12) months after the date TI or a TI-authorized distributor delivers such Product, (ii) Wafer Product and Die Product conforms to TI’s published Specifications for such products for a period of thirty (30) days after the date TI or a TI-authorized distributor delivers such product and (iii) Evaluation Kit will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days after the date TI or a TI-authorized distributor delivers such product. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, TI will not be liable for a nonconforming Item if:

a. the nonconformity was caused by neglect, misuse, or mistreatment by an entity other than TI, including improper storage, installation or testing, usage of Evaluation Items outside of the instructions set forth in the User Guide or for any Items that were altered or modified in any way by an entity other than TI;

b. the nonconformity resulted from Buyer’s design, specifications, or instructions for such Products or improper system design; or

c. where applicable, Buyer has not paid on time. 

Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary. TI does not necessarily test all parameters of each Item.

Buyer’s claims against TI under this Section 8 are void if Buyer fails to notify TI of any apparent defects in the Item within ten (10) business days after delivery, or of any hidden defects within ten (10) business days after the defect has been detected. 

8.2 TI’s sole liability will be at its option to repair or replace Items that fail to conform to the warranty set forth above, or credit Buyer’s account for such Items. TI’s liability under this warranty will be limited to Items that are returned during the warranty period to the address designated by TI and that are determined by TI not to conform to such warranty. If TI elects to repair or replace such Items, TI will have a reasonable time to complete such actions. Repaired Items will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Replaced Items will be warranted for a new full warranty period.

8.3 EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, ITEMS, WAFER MAPS (AS DEFINED IN THIS CONTRACT) AND ALL RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY, OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND FOR EVALUATION ITEMS ANY NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

8.4 TI may provide Buyer technical, applications, or design advice (including reference designs), quality characterization, reliability data, or other services. Buyer agrees that providing these services does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s warranties as set forth above and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such services or items. TI PROVIDES ALL SERVICES AND ITEMS TO BUYER (OTHER THAN “ITEMS” DEFINED IN THIS CONTRACT) “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.” TI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH SERVICES AND ITEMS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY, OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND FOR ANY NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

This includes Buyer (1) selecting and using Items appropriate for its products and applications, (2) designing, validating and testing its products and applications, and (3) ensuring its products and applications meet applicable standards and any safety, security, regulatory or other requirements. Independent of any information or support that TI may provide, Buyer remains solely responsible for its products and applications, including, but not limited to, when TI provides a sample design or design advice, or presents an Item as compliant with, capable of meeting, or helping Buyer’s products and applications meet an industry or proprietary standard. Buyer assumes all risk related to use of Items in its products and applications. TI shall not be liable for any use of Items in Buyer’s products and applications, including, but not limited to, instances where malfunction of an Item could cause severe property damage, severe environmental harm, personal injury or death, such as in Critical Medical Equipment. Buyer represents that it will use appropriate safeguards that anticipate and minimize dangerous consequences of Item failures in its products and applications.

9.2 Evaluation Items Use. Evaluation Items are intended solely for product and/or software developers for use in a research and development setting to facilitate feasibility evaluation, experimentation, or scientific analysis of TI Products. Evaluation Items may have no direct function and shall not be used in production applications, or production test platforms, or as test equipment. Buyer may use Evaluation Items for field testing (i.e. to evaluate Buyer’s application) only with TI’s advance written permission. Evaluation Items are not intended for consumer or household use.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer will fully defend, indemnify and hold harmless TI Indemnitees against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of Buyer’s responsibilities for its products and applications under and/or non-compliance with Section 9, whether arising in part from TI’s negligence or otherwise. 

10. Intellectual Property Indemnification.

10.1 Subject to Sections 8, 9, 10.2 through 10.5, and 11, TI will defend Buyer against any claim, suit, or proceeding brought against Buyer, insofar as such claim, suit, or proceeding is based on an allegation that Products or Die Products manufactured and supplied by TI to Buyer directly infringe any United States, Canadian, Japanese, or European Union member country patent (excluding utility models), copyright, or trade secret (“Covered Claim”), and TI will pay any damages, losses, or costs (excluding consequential and exemplary damages) finally awarded against Buyer for a Covered Claim, or agreed to by TI as settlement or compromise of a Covered Claim.

TI has no obligation to defend or indemnify Buyer unless Buyer:

(a) promptly informs TI of the Covered Claim and furnishes TI a copy of the claim, suit, or proceeding,

(b) gives all evidence in Buyer’s possession, custody, or control to TI, and

(c) gives TI reasonable assistance in and sole control of the defense thereof and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. Buyer agrees to make available to TI the benefit of any defense available to Buyer to any Covered Claim hereunder, including, but not limited to, any license or option to license or sub-license any intellectual property right that is the subject of such Covered Claim. Buyer will be entitled to participate in its defense at its own expense with counsel of its own choosing.

(a) obtain a license that allows Buyer to continue the use of the Products or Die Products,

(b) replace or modify the Products or Die Products so as to be non-infringing, but in a manner that does not materially affect the functionality of such products, or

(c) if neither (a) nor (b) is available to TI at a commercially reasonable expense, then TI may stop selling the Products or Die Products to Buyer without being in breach of this contract. 

If TI elects to provide either of the options set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, TI’s obligation pursuant to Section 10.1 will be entirely fulfilled as to that Covered Claim, except for any damages, losses, or costs (excluding consequential and exemplary damages) incurred by Buyer prior to TI taking such action. If TI elects the option set forth in clause (c) above, TI’s indemnity obligation under this contract will be entirely fulfilled, regardless of any additional claims, and Buyer will return to TI any and all Products remaining in Buyer’s possession, custody, or control.

10.3 TI will have no liability or obligation under Sections 10.1 or 10.2:

(a) if Buyer has not purchased the Items subject to the Covered Claim within the thirty-six (36) months preceding the date Buyer informed TI of the Covered Claim,

(b) if Buyer has not fully and promptly paid in full for the Items subject to the Covered Claim,

(c) if the Covered Claim arose because Buyer or Buyer’s customer brought a claim, suit, or proceeding against a third party,

(d) for any costs, losses, or damages resulting from Buyer’s willful acts, or any settlement or compromise incurred or made by Buyer without TI’s prior written consent, and

(e) to the extent that a Covered Claim is based upon:

Concerning Evaluation Kits Including Radio Transmitters:

This device complies with ISED’s license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Concernant les ensembles d’évaluation (Evaluation Kits) avec appareils radio: 

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique Canada (ISDE) applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Concerning Evaluation Kits Including Detachable Antennas:

Under ISED regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by ISED to operate with the antenna types listed in the user guide with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Concernant les ensembles d’évaluation (Evaluation Kits) avec antennes détachables:

Conformément à la réglementation d’ISDE, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par ISDE. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par ISDE pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
