These terms and conditions of sale (“terms and conditions” or “Agreement”) govern the sale, license, resale, and distribution, as applicable, of third-party vendor (“Vendor”) hardware, products, Software (including all open source licensed or distributed by Vendor, or incorporated into any Vendor software), and services (collectively “Products”) by eCommerce brand S&S Tech (together “S&S Tech”) to the entity purchasing or licensing the Products from S&S (“Buyer”). S&S will not accept any other terms or conditions unless Buyer and S&S have executed a written agreement that specifically modifies, supersedes, or replaces these terms and conditions. In addition, certain S&S Vendors require S&S Tech to pass-through terms for the Product to marketplaces, resellers, affiliates, and end-users. By purchasing the Product from S&S Tech Usa, the Buyer agrees to these Vendor pass-through terms.
For all international transactions, the Product will be sold logistics center or for drop shipments, S&S Tech distribution partner’s warehouse where the Products are located (Incoterms 2010). S&S Tech assumes no responsibility for Additional Fees for the country designated for delivery by the Buyer. Title and risk of loss, except for Software or services, shall pass to the Buyer upon delivery to the Buyer or Buyer’s representative at S&S-Tech-USA logistics center or, for drop shipments, upon delivery of the Products to the first common carrier.
Delivery is subject to S&S Tech receipt of all necessary information and documentation from Buyer, including all import certificates, exemption, resale certificates, licenses, and other documents as may be required from Buyer for the product’s export. In addition, the buyer shall notify S&S-Tech-USA, no later than five (5) business days after delivery, of any claimed shortages or rejection as to any delivery and must meet all other S&S Tech requirements as stated in S&S Tech return policies located at https://sandstechusa.com/refund_returns/. Buyer shall provide such notice in writing and with reasonable detail, stating the grounds for such rejection. The Buyer’s failure to give such notice within the time specified is deemed an acceptance in full of any such delivery.
Buyer shall bear all Additional Fees (except as otherwise provided in the S&S Tech shipping policy in the above link). S&S Tech prices set forth on the invoice do not include Additional Fees. All information relating to S&S Tech pricing is S&S Tech proprietary and confidential, and the Buyer will keep such information confidential. Buyer must present exemption certificates to S&S Tech before shipment if they are to be honored. S&S Tech shall invoice Buyer for all taxes applicable to sales of the Products, itemized by type and jurisdiction, which S&S Tech is required by law to collect from Buyer. Upon Buyer’s request, S&S Tech will provide the Buyer with sufficient documentation to enable the Buyer to complete any necessary tax filings or claim any applicable tax credits for amounts paid to S&S Tech. Suppose applicable law requires Buyer to deduct any amount from the amounts to be paid to S&S Tech due to withholding taxes or any other taxes or levies of any kind. In that case, Buyer shall pay all such additional amounts so that the net amounts received by S&S-Tech-USA are the amounts specified on the invoice. To the extent that any withholding tax is payable, S&S-Tech-USA and Buyer shall mutually collaborate and provide any and all assistance reasonably requested to obtain the benefits of any applicable tax treaty between the country where the S&S Tech entity that accepted Buyer Order is located and the applicable jurisdiction where the withholding tax applied.
If S&S-Tech-USA engages an attorney or collection agency for collection or enforcing S&S-Tech-USA security interest in the Products, with or without litigation, Buyer shall pay any associated costs, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs (whether incurred before, during, or after trial), collection, bankruptcy, or other creditor’s rights proceedings. S&S-Tech-USA reserves the right to effect recoupment, to set off any funds due at any time to Buyer from S&S-Tech-USA, and to set off any amounts against amounts owed by Buyer to S&S-Tech-USA.
If a sale occurs (or the Product is to be shipped) outside of the United States, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the amount due S&S-Tech-USA is contracted in U.S. Dollars and that payment in U.S. Dollars is of the essence. Any payment by Buyer in local currency or the receipt by S&S-Tech-USA of local currency as a consequence of enforcement procedures against Buyer will be deemed (a) an authorization for S&S-Tech-USA to use that local currency to purchase U.S. Dollars or (b) if such purchase is prohibited by local law, an authorization to purchase appropriate bonds or other instruments and export them from the Buyer’s country to convert the currency into U.S. Dollars and apply the proceeds to the payment of any amounts owed to S&S-Tech-USA by Buyer. The Buyer is responsible for any deficiency due to the payment conversion into U.S. Dollars.
S&S-Tech-USA ’s Product Return policies in effect on the date of the invoice, or as otherwise provided by S&S-Tech-USA to Buyer in writing, will control any return of Products.

S&S-Tech-USA may identify Products as NCNR by various means, including, but not limited to, quotes and product lists. S&S-Tech-USA Product Return policies are located at https://sandstechusa.com/refund_returns/. S&S-Tech-USA reserves the right to modify or eliminate such policies at any time. The right to return defective Products as set forth herein shall constitute S&S-Tech-USA ’s sole liability and end-user, reseller, marketplace, or affiliates’ exclusive remedy in connection with any claim of any kind relating to the quality, condition, or performance of any Product, whether such claim is based upon breach of contract, warranty, negligence or another tort, breach of any statutory duty, indemnity or contribution, the failure of any limited or exclusive remedy to achieve its essential purpose, or otherwise. If S&S-Tech-USA issues a return authorization to Buyer allowing Buyer to return Product to S&S-Tech-USA, Buyer will deliver the Product to S&S-Tech-USA specified address in the United States, and Buyer shall bear Additional Fees designated or levied, on any replacement Product to be shipped by S&S-Tech-USA to Buyer. Suppose S&S-Tech-USA determines such Products are not eligible for a return. In that case, S&S-Tech-USA will, at its sole discretion, send such Products back to Buyer on a freight collection basis or hold such Products (at Buyer’s expense) for Buyer’s collection and on Buyer’s account.
Although S&S-Tech-USA ’s policies may permit Buyer to return defective Products under certain circumstances as specified in Section 4, S&S-Tech-USA makes no representations or warranties concerning the Products, including but not limited to Product information.
