4.5. Lead Time. Customer shall request a delivery date for Products in the Purchase Order. Irrespective of the requested delivery date, Mircom will confirm an estimated the delivery date in the Order Acknowledgement.

4.8. Modifications/Cancellations, Costs. In the event of modifications, deferrals or cancellations of orders, Customer shall be responsible for repayment to Mircom of charges attributable thereto including without limitation the costs incurred by Mircom for developing any work in progress, storage, price revisions, restocking fee of thirty (30) percent, third party charges and overhead as may be determined by Mircom in its sole discretion.
4.9. Deferred Shipments. In the case of deferred shipments, Mircom reserves the additional right to invoice Customer (a) interest at the lesser of two (2) percent per month or the highest rate permitted in Customer’s jurisdiction on all amounts payable by Customer to Mircom per the Order Acknowledgements for the deferred shipment, calculated from the time Mircom is prepared to ship the Products until actual shipment thereof and/or (b) storage fees for onsite or offsite storage of the Products.
4.10. Delivery Date. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Mircom, Mircom will deliver the Products to Customer on or about the approximate delivery date set out in the Order Acknowledgement, and Mircom reserves the right to do so without further notification or communication. In the event that Customer notifies Mircom that it is not ready to accept delivery, Mircom may, at its sole discretion elect to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder or otherwise in law or equity, including without limitation any one or combination of the following: (a) complete the delivery despite the Customer’s notice of non-readiness to accept delivery; (b) consider the order cancelled without a refund; (c) re-allocate the Products to other open orders for other customers; (d) update the prices charged for the Products; and/or (e) require advanced payment for any orders placed by the Customer in the future.
4.11. Two Year Price Increase. Customer shall accept shipment of all of the products and services outlined in an Order Acknowledgement or approved quote within two (2) years of the date thereof.

Thereafter, for each passing one (1) year, such Prices will increase for additional five percent (5%) per year. Customer shall pay the increased Prices in advance of shipment in such instance. This increase is not a penalty, but a pre-estimate of the costs incurred by Mircom due to the delay in shipments, which Customer agrees and acknowledges is fair and reasonable.
5.1. Risk of Loss. All goods will be shipped at Customer’s risk. Customer shall be responsible for all freight charges and shall assume all risk of transportation of the Products. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for further clarity, Mircom shall have no responsibility for the Products during transportation or in storage at destination. For further clarity, Customer shall be solely responsible for the provision of complete and accurate shipping information to facilitate delivery; Mircom shall have no responsibility to verify the shipping information provided by Customer.
5.2. Title. Legal and beneficial ownership of the Products shall not pass to the Customer until such time as the Products have been paid for in full, including without limitation any charges
payable pursuant to these Terms and Conditions such as Administrative Charges, interest, modification, deferral or cancellation charges, among others.
5.3. Routing and Carrier. Mircom shall have full discretion to select the method of transportation and route of any shipment, not necessarily the lowest cost delivery. Mircom may, at its discretion, consider but will not be obligated to satisfy Customer’s requests for a particular routing or carrier.
5.4. Partial Shipments. Mircom reserves the right to make partial shipments of an order without incurring any liability in relation to the exercise of such right, in which case Mircom shall be entitled to issue multiple invoices for pro-rata portions of the purchase price pertaining to the goods included in each part of such partial shipment.

Customer shall extend its full co-operation to Mircom in the event that the need arises for Mircom to advance or defend any claims relating to the foregoing Mircom rights or infringements thereof.
6.1. Discontinuation, Changes, Substitutions. Mircom specifically reserves the right to, at its discretion and at any time, (1) discontinue or make modifications to any Products including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, changes to color, material equipment, specifications and models; (2) ship such Products as Mircom deems comparable in form, fit and function to the actual Products that are ordered; and (3) without penalty or liability whatsoever, cancel or reject orders for Products that cannot be replaced for whatever reason, including being obsolete.
