Welcome to the eeParts (“eeParts”) electronic component exchange
and associated services (collectively, the “Exchange”). Use of the
Exchange which is located at www.eeparts.com (the
“Website”) is governed by this Buyer Agreement (this “Agreement”). By
registering, you agree that you have read this Agreement and that your use
of the Exchange will be in accordance with this Agreement. If you do not
agree to abide by this Agreement, then you should not access or use, in
any way, the Exchange. This Agreement may be modified at any time, and any
such modification shall be effective immediately upon posting of the
modified Agreement. By your access and use of the Exchange, you agree to
periodically review this Agreement and shall be bound by any such future
modifications.
- Definitions.
- A “Member” is an entity or person who agrees to use the
Exchange in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, completes a registration form, and is accepted for
membership by eeParts.
- A “Buyer” is a Member who purchases parts (the “Parts”) on the
Exchange for sale from eeParts or a registered eeParts’ Seller Member
(“Seller”).
- Any Buyer from an organization can be deemed the
"Administrator." Instruction from the administrator shall be legally
binding on the organization. The administrator may add buyers as
needed. The administrator may be changed by contacting customerservice@eeparts.com.
- Anonymity &
Security.
eeParts will
take reasonable steps to maintain trader anonymity. However, such
anonymity cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances, including, but not
limited to, loss or damage to parts, alleged breach of warranty, or the
filing of a lawsuit. In order to deal with these and other appropriate
situations, you agree that eeParts may reveal your identity when it
believes in its sole discretion that it is reasonable to do so. You also
agree that if such situations occur, eeParts will serve as a facilitator
between the Members involved and that eeParts will have no liability to
any Member for so acting.
- Registration. You may apply for membership on the Website and
submit your application electronically, or you may download the
application form from the Website and submit it by fax to (469)
574-2389.
- Assigned Account Manager. After your completed application is
received and accepted by eeParts, eeParts will assign a designate
representative to assist you with your use of the Exchange (an “Account
Manager”). A detailed contact list is available on the Exchange in the
event you need assistance immediately and your assigned Account Manager
is unavailable.
- Term. This Agreement is effective upon receipt and acceptance
of this Agreement by eeParts. This Agreement will continue until either
party terminates the Agreement. Upon written notice to eeParts you may
terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ notice.
You agree that eeParts, in its sole discretion, will have the right to
terminate your access to this Exchange at any time, for any reason, and
that eeParts shall not be obligated to disclose such reason to you.
Termination of your access to this Exchange is sufficient notice of
termination of this Agreement.
- Buyer Membership Terms.
- As a Buyer, if your offer to buy a stated quantity of Parts
for a certain price is accepted by eeParts, then you will be obligated
to complete the transaction, subject only to the terms and
conditions stated in this Agreement. If you apply a purchase order number to
a transaction, it will be used for your internal reference
purposes only. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will supersede
the terms and conditions of any referenced purchase order.
Modifications or retractions cannot be made after eeParts has accepted your offer
to buy. eeParts will notify you of availability of the Parts and a
scheduled ship date. If there is no availability or the available
quantity is less than your offer to buy, you have an option to either
accept the lesser quantity or cancel the contract.
- Payment terms for the agreed purchase price will be by COD, wire
transfer, or other cash equivalents agreed to by eeParts in advance of
shipment. eeParts’ posted prices do not include any taxes, freight,
handling, duty (for export or otherwise), or other similar charges,
payment of which will be solely your responsibility. You will pay any
applicable sales and use taxes relating to the purchase transaction or
provide a valid sales tax exemption certificate. eeParts reserves the
right to modify terms prior to shipment or delay or cancel any
shipment or order by reason of your credit worthiness or failure to
fulfill any obligation when due.
- The Buyer may select the carrier for shipment of the parts.
eeParts’ responsibility for any loss or damage ends, and title passes, when
eeParts delivers the parts to the carrier. Freight charges will be
calculated on the basis of standard carrier tariffs and may not
reflect the actual transportation costs.
- Returns. You may return eeParts any parts you purchased
which are found to be either nonconforming or nonfunctional, provided
that (i) you submit a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) form (which
is available on the Website) within five (5) business days of the date
the parts are delivered to you, and (ii) the returned parts are in the
same condition and original packaging that they were shipped to you.
eeParts’ decision regarding the condition of the returned Parts will be
final. eeParts will have no responsibility for any return sent without
an RMA number and shipment will be refused. If the purchased Parts are
properly returned, the purchase price will be refunded in the same form
in which payment was tendered. If you do not return the Parts in
accordance with this Section 7, you will be deemed to have accepted the
Parts.
- Fees and Taxes. No fees are required to become a Buyer. In
the absence of a valid tax ID number and a signed tax resale certificate
before shipment, sales tax will be added to the invoice.
- Hours of Operation. eeParts will use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Exchange to be operational twenty-four (24) hours a
day, seven (7) days a week, and three hundred sixty-five (365) days per
year subject to periodic interruptions for maintenance and other
conditions beyond the reasonable control of eeParts.
- Liability Limitations.
- You acknowledge that eeParts acts as a facilitator with respect to
the sale and purchase of Parts using the Exchange. Accordingly,
eeParts shall not be liable for the failure of any Parts, bought or
sold using the Exchange, to meet specifications, or for the breach or
alleged breach of any warranty given or made by the Seller in respect
of any Parts offered, sold, or otherwise transferred using the
Exchange, or for failure of any Member to make delivery. As a
condition of membership in the Exchange, you agree to look solely to
the other Members involved in a particular transaction for damages or
liabilities incurred as a result of failure to meet specifications or
a result of the breach or alleged breach of any warranty or for any
failure to make delivery.
- You understand that, except for information, products or services
clearly identified as being supplied by eeParts, eeParts does not
operate, control or endorse any information, products or services on
this Exchange in any way. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR
YOUR USE OF THE EXCHANGE AND ANY SERVICES CONTAINED THEREIN.
- IN NO EVENT SHALL EEPARTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE RESULTING FROM LOSS

OTHER WEBSITE WHICH MAY BE REFERENCED OR LINKED TO THIS

- Indemnification. As a condition of membership in the
Exchange, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend eeParts
against any and all claims, liabilities, and damages arising out of or
related to your use of the Exchange. You acknowledge that the remedy of
rejection during the inspection period set forth in Section 7 above is
your exclusive remedy for failure of purchased Parts to meet
specifications or for breach, or alleged breach of the Seller’s
warranties. To the extent allowed by law, you waive all other remedies
against eeParts, including, without limitation, any right given by
statutory or common law or by any contract, including any refund rights
which such member may now or hereafter have pursuant to any agreement
with the issuer of any credit card used to purchase or pay for all or
any part of any purchased Parts.
