Each purchase order (“PO”) issued by Voyant Beauty (or one of its affiliates identified in the PO) (“Buyer”) to you (“Supplier”) is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms and Conditions”), except to the extent such Terms and Conditions are inconsistent with any agreed upon specific terms and conditions that are set forth in a binding written agreement, signed by both parties, which governs the relationship between Buyer and Supplier (“Specific Terms”) for the sale of the goods (“Goods”) and/or services (“Services” and together with “Goods” is sometimes collectively referred to as “Products”) referred to in the PO.

All other terms and conditions are expressly rejected.

Subject to Section 26 below, these Terms and Conditions are specific to the PO and may hereafter be revised, from time to time and at any time, by Buyer.

1. Communications
All communications from Supplier to Buyer relating to the PO and these Terms and Conditions shall be addressed to the Buyer’s representative identified in the Specific Terms and if no one is identified in the Specific Terms then as identified on the PO.

2. Supplier Responsibilities
Supplier shall (i) provide to Buyer the Products ordered in accordance with the PO and the applicable Specific Terms, if any, pursuant to which the PO was issued; (ii) keep Buyer advised of the status of the PO; (iii) permit duly authorized representatives of Buyer to review and observe, from time to time upon reasonable notice, the manufacture and delivery of the Products; (iv) provide Buyer with reports concerning the Products that are requested by Buyer from time to time; and (v) keep, for POs requiring payment based on hours worked, cost of materials used and/or expenses incurred, records of hours worked, cost of materials used, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in filling the PO, which records Buyer’s duly authorized representatives may examine from time to time upon reasonable notice.

3. Acknowledgment.
In the absence of Specific Terms, (a) by accepting the PO, Supplier agrees that it has read and understood, and is bound by, each and every one of these Terms and Conditions, (b) the shipment of any Goods and/or provision of any Services or accepting part or full payment of the purchase price, shall constitute acceptance by Supplier of the PO and each and every one of these Terms and Conditions, and (c) if Supplier objects to any of these Terms and Conditions, it shall notify Voyant’s Sourcing office in writing within two (2) business days after issuance of the PO and withhold acceptance of the PO until such objection is settled by written agreement. By failing to advise Buyer within such two-business day period of any disagreement or inability to comply with the PO and these Terms and Conditions, Supplier is deemed to have accepted the PO and each and every one of these Terms and Conditions.

4. Changes; Termination.
Buyer may at any time, by written notice to Supplier, make changes in the PO as to the (i) specifications, (ii) method of packing or shipment, (iii) time and place of delivery, or (iv) quantity of the Products. If any such change causes any increase or decrease in the price or time required for delivery of the Products, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the price or the time of delivery or both, which shall be agreed to in writing by Voyant’s Sourcing office within a reasonable time not to exceed two (2) business days from the notification of any such change by Buyer. Buyer may terminate the PO in whole or in part, at any time upon notice to Supplier. Upon receipt of such termination notice, Supplier shall, unless otherwise directed by Buyer, stop work and acquisition of materials and protect property in Supplier’s possession in which Buyer has or may acquire an interest. Not later than fifteen (15) days from the effective date of termination, Supplier may submit to Buyer for its review Supplier’s claim, if any, for reasonable compensation for its out-of-pocket costs caused by the termination and Buyer shall have the right to audit and inspect Supplier’s books and records relating thereto to verify such costs.

5. Inspection; Rejections/Returns.
All Products are subject to final review, inspection and acceptance by Buyer at the place of delivery notwithstanding any payment or initial inspection. Buyer will endeavor to make a final inspection within a reasonable time after receipt of the Products. However, a failure by Buyer to inspect or to discover and advise Supplier of any concerns with the Products will not, in any way, relieve Supplier of its obligations or limit Supplier’s representations, warranties and covenants under these Terms and Conditions.
Buyer reserves the right to refuse any Products and to cancel all or any part of a PO for Products not conforming to applicable specifications, drawings, samples or descriptions notwithstanding prior payment or initial inspection and any such payment shall remain a credit to Buyer’s account, for prepayment for replacement Products or refund to Buyer, as Buyer shall direct. Acceptance of any Products shipped as part of a PO shall not bind Buyer to accept future shipments of non-conforming Products, nor deprive Buyer of the right to return non-conforming Products already accepted. Products, if rejected, may, at Buyer’s option, be returned to Supplier at Supplier’s expense for transportation both ways, and no replacement or substitution shall be made unless so authorized by Buyer in writing.

6. Cancellation on Lateness.
The delivery of Products shall strictly comply with the delivery date or delivery schedule, if any, specified by Buyer in the Specific Terms and/or the PO. If at any time it appears Supplier will not meet such delivery date or schedule, Supplier shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of reasons for, and the estimated duration of, the delay. If requested by Buyer, Supplier will (at its cost) ship delayed Products by such means as are necessary to avoid or minimize delay to the maximum extent possible. Buyer may also exercise its other remedies, including without limitation cancellation of a PO for non-compliance, cover and incidental and consequential damages.

7. Buyer’s Rights.
Without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Buyer, Buyer may, at its option and whether or not Buyer has previously accepted the Products, (i) at Supplier’s risk and expense, including without limitation, the cost of return freight, return non-conforming Products to Supplier and require Supplier either to give Buyer full refund or full credit against the purchase price or promptly repair or replace the Products, (ii) retain such Products and set off losses against any amount due Supplier, or (iii) repair or replace Products and charge Supplier with the expense. After Buyer’s damages for Supplier’s breach or repudiation (including, without limitation, any cost of cover or of completing the manufacture or processing of the Products) are determined, Supplier shall pay to Buyer any excess of Buyer’s damages over the purchase price. In addition to any rights set forth in these Terms and Conditions Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies that the law gives to buyers, including the right to recover incidental and consequential damages resulting from any breach by Supplier. Buyer shall have the full statutory period of limitations to bring any legal action. Supplier shall not have and hereby waives, any security interest in or any statutory or other lien upon any Products. Buyer may deduct from, and set off against, any amounts or damages at any time owed to Supplier whether arising hereunder or otherwise any amounts, damages, rebates or credits owed by Supplier to Buyer.

8. Invoice.
Unless otherwise specified by Buyer, a separate invoice shall be issued for each shipment and only after the Goods are shipped or Services are rendered. Payment due dates, including discount periods, will be computed from date of invoice to date Buyer’s check is mailed (or payment is otherwise transmitted by Buyer). Any discount taken by Buyer will be taken on the full amount of invoice. Supplier shall submit invoices in accordance with Buyer’s instructions, which may include electronic means using a web-based portal or any other method specified by Buyer. Voyant will no longer accept hard copy invoices sent via any shipping service (i.e., USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.). We require invoices, statements (provide statements in Excel format only), and payment inquiries be submitted via email to the AP email address associated to the PO / Ship To per the following table. We also require that you update our name and Bill To address. All international shipments must be accompanied by a complete commercial invoice as detailed in Section 17 of these Terms and Conditions. For purposes of clarity the following table shall be used as guidance to all Supplier invoicing submissions and processing.

9. Price; Payments.
Notwithstanding that a price may be stated on the PO or in the Specific Terms, Buyer shall receive the benefit of any general reduction that Supplier may make in a price of the Products prior to delivery. Except as expressly agreed to by Voyant’s Sourcing office in writing, all charges for packing, crating, hauling and storage of the Products shall be paid by Supplier and Buyer shall not be required to pay (i) any freight or any sales, use or other taxes, levies, customs and other duties arising out of Buyer’s purchase of Products from Supplier, or (ii) any late charge, interest, finance or similar charge. Payment terms will be defined by agreement, contract, or mutual alignment between Supplier and Voyant’s Sourcing office and payment terms, including discount periods, shall run from the latest of (i) the scheduled date of delivery, (ii) the actual date of delivery of conforming Products, (iii) the date of receipt by Buyer of Supplier’s accurate invoice, and (iv) in the case of Products which are capital equipment, completion of Buyer’s final inspection and inspection after installation. Buyer will not make payment prior to material receipt / acceptance regardless of agreement, unless authorized by Voyant Sourcing. Buyer may withhold payment of any amounts to be paid to Supplier which are disputed in good faith by Buyer. All price changes that are based in whole or in part on changes in Supplier’s costs shall be subject to audit by Buyer. Supplier will provide price lists to Buyer in the formats and methods specified by Buyer, including without limitation electronic forms using a web-based portal or other electronic methods.
