Orders or other requests, whether oral or written, for the supply or sale of machinery or equipment (“Equipment”), or for the supply or sale of spare or replacement parts (“Parts”), or for the provision of services (“Services”), or for the rental of machinery or equipment (“Rental”) to be provided by National Oilwell Varco, L.P., on behalf of itself and its divisions and subsidiaries, or by its affiliates (“Seller”) to its customers (each a “Buyer”) (the “Order(s)”) are subject to Seller’s written acceptance by an authorized representative of Seller and any Orders so accepted will be governed by (a) the terms and conditions stated in these Terms and Conditions for provision of Equipment, Parts, Services or Rental (the “Terms and Conditions”); (b) the written proposal submitted by Seller to Buyer (“Proposal”), if any;

(c) the written order acknowledgment issued by Seller to Buyer (“Acknowledgment”), if any; and, (d) any change orders identified as such and agreed to in writing by Seller (the Order, Terms and Conditions, Proposal, Acknowledgment, and any such change order, and any such additional terms as agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Seller collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”). Buyer’s submission of a purchase order (or other similar document) shall be deemed to be an express acceptance of these Terms and Conditions notwithstanding language in Buyer’s purchase order (or other similar document) inconsistent herewith, and any inconsistent language in Buyer’s purchase order (or other similar document) is hereby rejected. Buyer’s purchase order (or other similar document) is incorporated in this Agreement, only to the extent of specifying the nature and description of the Equipment, Parts, Services or Rental and then only to the extent consistent with the Proposal or Acknowledgment. In the event of any conflict between a Proposal and an Acknowledgement, the Acknowledgment shall prevail.

2.              PRICES

Prices of Equipment, Parts, Services or Rental shall be as stated in the Proposal or Acknowledgment, or if there is no Proposal or Acknowledgment, as otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller. Unless otherwise specified, all prices contained in a Proposal are valid for thirty (30) days from date of issue of the Proposal. All price quotations are EXW Seller’s premises (INCOTERMS 2010), or as agreed per the Proposal or Acknowledgement and are subject to change without notice. Seller bears no responsibility for any consular fees, fees for legalizing invoices, certificates of origin, stamping bills of lading, or other charges required by the laws of any country of destination, or any fines, penalties or interest imposed due to incorrect declarations. Charges will be added for factory preparation and packaging for shipment. Minimum freight and invoice charges in effect at the time of the Order shall apply. If by reason of any act of government, the cost to Seller of performing its obligations hereunder is increased, such increase shall be added to the quoted price.

3.              TAXES

Transaction Taxes. In addition to the charges due under this Agreement, the Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Seller from and against the reporting, filing and payment of any taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees (and any related fines, penalties or interest and the like) imposed directly on Buyer as a result of this Agreement and all liabilities, costs, and associated expenses (including lawyers’ and experts’ fees) which may be incurred in connection therewith. Such taxes, duties, charges, licenses, or fees include but are not limited to any local, state, federal, foreign, or international sales, use, value added tax (“VAT”), goods and services tax (“GST”), rental, import, export, personal property, stamp, excise and like taxes and duties. If Seller pays any such tax, Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days of Seller’s demand, reimburse Seller for the tax including interest, fines, and penalties, paid by the Seller. It shall be Buyer’s sole obligation after payment to Seller to challenge the applicability of any tax.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of all exporting documents and any other documents reasonably requested by Seller to prove or substantiate to the appropriate tax authorities the goods were timely exported.

Withholding Taxes. If Buyer is required by any appropriate government department or agency to withhold compensation due Seller to satisfy any obligation of Seller for taxes due, Buyer shall give at least 30 days’ notice to Seller that Buyer will withhold. Buyer agrees to pay on a timely basis the amounts so withheld over to the appropriate government department or agency, on behalf of Seller, and to provide Seller with any tax receipts (originals, if possible) or other reliable evidence of payment issued by such government department or agency within 30 days of the date required for withholding. Buyer shall not withhold compensation due Seller if Seller produces evidence, acceptable to Buyer, that Seller is not subject to the withholding of such taxes. Buyer agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold such acceptance. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any taxes withheld for which receipts or other reliable evidence substantiating the remittance of taxes to the appropriate government department or agency are not provided to Seller. Buyer’s obligation to deliver to Seller tax receipts or other reliable evidence issued by the taxing authority shall not apply if Buyer establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Seller that the appropriate government department or agency does not provide such documentation. Notwithstanding the above, if Buyer is required to pay any such taxes or amounts that Buyer believes is directly attributable to Seller, Buyer shall first provide notice to Seller and give Seller an opportunity to intervene to protect its interest before Buyer makes any payment.

Protest Rights. If the Buyer receives any demand or request for payment of any levies, charges, taxes or contributions for which it would seek indemnity or reimbursement from Seller, Buyer shall promptly and timely notify the Seller in writing of such demand or request. “Promptly and timely” as used in this sub clause means that Buyer must notify Seller so that Seller has enough time and a reasonable opportunity to appeal, protest or litigate the levies, charges, taxes or contributions in an appropriate venue. To the extent that Buyer fails to give prompt and timely notice, Seller has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse Buyer for these levies, charges, taxes or contributions. At Seller’s request and cost, Buyer shall initiate an appeal, protest or litigation in Buyer’s own name if Buyer is the only party that can legally initiate this appeal, protest or litigation. The Buyer shall allow the Seller to control the response to such demand or request and the Buyer shall use its best efforts to appeal against such demand or request. If Buyer is required to pay any levies, charges, taxes or contributions in order to pursue an appeal, protest or litigation, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for that amount promptly upon receipt of a written request from Buyer. Seller shall not be responsible for any compromise made by Buyer without Seller’s prior written consent.

Cooperation. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller, and at the request of Seller, Buyer shall use its best efforts to supply to Seller such information (including documentary information) in connection with its activities as may be required by Seller for any of the following purposes:

a)             To enable Seller to comply with the lawful demand or requirement for such information by any appropriate government authority or to ensure that all requirements of the applicable law are being complied with;

b)             To enable Seller to conduct, defend, negotiate or settle any claim arising out of, or in connection with, such activities, whether or not such claim shall have become the subject of arbitration or judicial proceedings;

c)              To enable Seller to make any application (including, but without limitation, any claim for any allowances or relief) or representation in connection with, or to contest any assessment on, or liability of Seller to any taxes, duties, levies, charges and contributions (and any interest or penalties thereon); or

d)             To secure for Seller any beneficial tax treatment and legally minimize any tax obligations in connection with this Agreement.

Seller’s request for such information and documents shall allow Buyer a reasonable time to prepare, provide and submit that information requested. The obligations set forth above shall exist for a period of six (6) years commencing with the date of agreement by Buyer of Seller’s final statement of account under the Agreement, and the Buyer shall retain and shall procure any subcontractor hereunder to retain, all information and documents in connection with its activities under or pursuant to the Agreement as shall enable the Buyer to comply with the above obligations.

4.              PAYMENT TERMS

Unless alternate payment terms are specified and agreed to by Seller in writing, all charges, including applicable packing and transportation costs, billed by Seller are payable within net 30 days of the date of invoice. Seller reserves the right to modify or withdraw credit terms at any time without notice. Unless otherwise specified, all payments are due in the currency specified in Seller’s Proposal, Acknowledgment and/or invoice. Interest shall be due from Buyer to Seller on overdue accounts at the maximum rate allowed by law. When partial shipments are made, the goods will be invoiced as shipped and each invoice will be treated as a separate account and be payable accordingly. Payment for goods is due whether or not technical documentation and/or any third party certifications are complete at the time of shipment. Seller shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in the collection of overdue accounts. Seller reserves the right, where a genuine doubt exists as to Buyer’s financial position or if Buyer is in default of any payment obligation, to suspend delivery or performance of any Agreement or any part thereof without liability and without prejudice to, and without limitation of, any other remedy available to Seller until Buyer cures the default or satisfactory security for payment has been provided. Seller shall have the option to extend the delivery date by a time at least equal to the period of such suspension. In the event of Rental, should Buyer default in meeting any of the terms hereunder for any reason, Seller has the right to retrieve all Rentals as detailed in the Proposal and also to collect rental payments due. If Buyer elects to exercise a purchase option for Rental equipment, rental charges will be incurred and will be invoiced until the later of; (i) the end of the agreed rental period; or (ii) 30 days prior to the receipt of total purchase price and all other rental amounts due.

5.              DELIVERY

Unless otherwise agreed to by Seller in writing, delivery terms shall be EXW Seller’s premises (INCOTERMS 2010), except to the extent modified by these Terms and Conditions. Where goods are to be supplied from stock, such supply is subject to availability of stocks at the date of delivery. Partial shipments may be made as agreed to by Buyer and Seller. Stated delivery dates are approximate only and cannot be guaranteed. Seller shall have no liability for damages arising out of the failure to keep a projected delivery date, irrespective of the length of the delay. In the event Buyer is unable to accept delivery of goods when tendered, Seller may, at its option, arrange for storage of the goods at Buyer’s sole risk and Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the reasonable cost of such storage. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights which Seller may have with respect to Buyer’s failure to take delivery of goods, which includes the right to invoice Buyer for the goods. Buyer agrees that title to the stored goods will transfer to Buyer upon invoicing notwithstanding Buyer’s inability to accept delivery and that Buyer assumes all risk of loss or damage to the goods from the date title passes to Buyer. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs from Seller’s premises to the location as designated by the Buyer. All shipping costs for the return of goods from the location specified by Buyer to Seller’s premises shall also be for Buyer’s account.

6.              FORCE MAJEURE

If either party is unable by reason of Force Majeure to carry out any of its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligations to pay money when due and indemnification obligations assumed hereunder, then on such party giving notice and particulars in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the cause relied upon, such obligations shall be suspended. “Force Majeure” shall include acts of God, laws and regulations, government action, war, civil disturbances, strikes and labor problems, delays of vendors, carriers, lightening, fire, flood, washout, storm, breakage or accident to equipment or machinery, shortage of raw materials, and any other causes that are not reasonably within the control of the party so affected. Seller shall be paid its applicable standby rate, if any, during any such Force Majeure event.

7.              CANCELLATION

Orders placed by Buyer and accepted by Seller may be canceled only with the consent of Seller and will subject Buyer to cancellation charges. All of Seller’s documents, drawings and like information shall be returned to Seller upon Buyer’s request for cancellation. No Orders may be canceled subsequent to delivery or shipment, whichever occurs earlier. As estimated actual damages, Buyer agrees to pay Seller the greater of Seller’s actual costs incurred prior to cancellation plus a reasonable profit, or the following minimum cancellation charges:

a)             20% of Agreement value if canceled 30 or more days prior to the original delivery/shipment date;

b)             50% of the Agreement value if canceled thereafter; or

In the event of Rental, minimum rental charges as stated in the Proposal will apply. Buyer shall verify

1

the amount of the cancellation charges prior to canceling an order.

8.              TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

For purchased goods, ownership and risk of loss pass to Buyer upon the earlier of (a) Seller’s delivery of the goods, or (b) invoicing by Seller for the goods where Buyer is unable to accept delivery on the scheduled date. Seller retains a security interest in the goods until the purchase price has been paid, and Buyer agrees to perform upon request all acts required to secure Seller’s interest. Seller accepts no responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. Seller will attempt to pack or prepare all shipments so that they will not break, rust or deteriorate in shipment, but Seller does not guarantee against such damage. Claims for any damage, shortage or loss in transit must be made by Buyer on the carrier.
