Tandem’s order for Products or Services is conditioned on Supplier’s acceptance of the purchase order (the “PO”) and these Terms. Supplier will be deemed to have accepted the PO and these Terms by sending Tandem a written acknowledgment or by shipping Products or commencing Services. Tandem hereby rejects any terms contained in any proposal, quotation, acknowledgement, invoice, or other communication from Supplier inconsistent with these Terms.
Tandem may reschedule or cancel all or part of the PO at any time on notice to Supplier without incurring any liability to Supplier.

Supplier shall notify Tandem as soon as it becomes aware of any delay or potential delay in delivery of the Products or provision of the Services. With respect to Products Supplier is unable to deliver on-time, Supplier will be liable to Tandem for any losses Tandem incurs because of such failure including cover damages, and, at Tandem’s request, Supplier shall deliver the affected Products using priority freight delivery at Supplier’s expense.
Unless otherwise specified on the PO, Products will be shipped Delivered Duty Paid (DDP Incoterms 2020) to the location specified by Tandem on the PO with title and risk of loss transferring to Tandem at the specified delivery location.

Upon rejection, Supplier shall, at Tandem’s option, promptly: (i) correct any non-conformance; (ii) refund the full amount paid for the rejected items, plus any delivery charges paid by Tandem; or (iii) replace such rejected items.
