PROPRIETARY RIGHTS – All intellectual property rights contained in the Product and all components thereof are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Nuvation Energy.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights or claims of any type to the intellectual property contained in the Product other than the licenses granted herein.  Buyer irrevocably waives and releases any claim to title and ownership rights (including copyright ownership) to any software provided with the Product.

PAYMENT – Nuvation Energy shall issue an invoice to Buyer when Product order is 'ready-to-ship'. Ready-to-ship refers to when a product has completed manufacturing, is packed for shipment, and would be sent out barring customer readiness with shipping arrangements or any other request for delayed delivery. Payment terms are net fifteen (15) days from date of invoice unless otherwise specified on the face of this quotation.  A one and one half percent (1.5 %) service charge will be added for every month or part of a month that the amount due remains unpaid after its due date.  In the event Nuvation Energy incurs any expense collecting a past due invoice, Buyer shall pay for all collection costs, including attorney's fees and court costs, if any, incurred in collection.

Unless the Buyer specifies shipping instructions, shipment and delivery will be made by the carrier and in the manner designated by the Nuvation Energy.  Special crating, packaging, etc. are not captured in the pricing presented and can be quoted as an extra charge upon request. Freight pricing, if provided, are estimates for convenience. Actual freight pricing will be provided when final packaging of Product order is complete. Purchase Orders (PO) received by Nuvation Energy that includes freight will be reviewed prior to PO acceptance. Variances in freight pricing are the Buyer's responsibility.

CANCELLATION – Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Nuvation Energy, all products purchased are designated as NCNR (Non-Cancellable and Non-Returnable).
