These are the terms and conditions that apply to a Customer's purchase of Products from "I Open Innovations, Inc." (hereafter iOpen). Acceptance of Customer's order(s) is based on these terms and conditions of sale applying. By accepting delivery of products from iOpen, Customer agrees to be bound and to accept these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions shall control the terms of purchase unless the Customer and iOpen have signed a separate purchase agreement referring to different terms and conditions which expressly control.


  1. Terms of Sale:

    Payment terms shall be designated as payment in advance. iOpen reserves the right at any time and for any reason to require payment in advance, or otherwise to modify, suspend, or terminate any credit terms previously extended to Customer. iOpen shall be entitled to refuse or delay shipments for failure by Customer to pay within terms any payments due iOpen, whether on this or any other contract between iOpen and sCustomer. All shipments are F.O.B. Origin. The full purchase price shall be invoiced upon delivery to a common carrier. A 1.5% per month service charge, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, may be added to delinquent accounts. In the event that it becomes necessary for iOpen to incur collection costs to collect any amount due and payable, Customer agrees to pay such additional collection costs, charges and expenses, including attorney's fees if the account is placed in the hands of an attorney or an agency for collection. Prices are subject to change without notice. Payments should be made according to the instructions on the face of the invoice, based on one of the forms of payment described in Section 4 of this document.

Any service offered by iOpen may be suspended if any amount is past due by the customer.

Any service offered by iOpen may be suspended if any amount is past due by the customer.

  9. Shipping Times, Charges, and Taxes on Hardware:

    Orders of $5,000 or less may take up to three weeks to ship. For larger orders, please consult with your sales representative for lead time.

Orders received after 2 p.m. will be processed the following business day (iOpen's regular business hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. CT). All orders are delivered Monday through Friday unless prearranged with your sales representative in advance.

    Orders placed with a request for expedited processing may be accommodated but are subject to an expedite fee per the following schedule:


    Expedited Order Processing and Fulfillment
    • Sale amount of $1-$500 = $75 flat fee
    • Sale amount of $501-$2,500 = $75 fee + 5% of order subtotal
    • Sale amount of $2,501+ = $75 flat fee plus 5% of order subtotal

    Orders Shipping On iOpen’s Shipping Account(s)
    • Sale amount of $1-$500 = $75 flat fee
    • All orders processed to ship on iOpen’s shipping accounts where the shipping fee is less than $50 will be calculated as the shipping cost + $8, covering packaging materials and handling. (Carrier fee < $50 = Shipping fee + $8)
    • All orders processed to ship on iOpen’s shipping accounts where the shipping fee is more than $50 will be calculated as the shipping cost x 1.16, covering packaging materials and handling. (Carrier fee > $50 = Shipping fee * 1.16)

    Orders Shipping on Customer’s Shipping Account
    • All orders processed to ship on customer’s shipping account where the order subtotal is less than $2,000 will have a $15 flat fee added to the order, covering packaging materials and handling. (Order Subtotal < $2,000 = Order Subtotal + $15)
    • All orders processed to ship on customer’s shipping account where the order subtotal is more than $2,000 will be calculated as the order subtotal x 0.0075, covering packaging materials and handling. (Order Subtotal > $2,000 = Order Subtotal * 0.0075)

    iOpen will use standard shipping rates as provided by selected carrier. If you are already established with a carrier and can provide iOpen with a shipping number, iOpen will ship via your specified carrier for an additional handling fee of $5/order.

  10. Tax Exemption:

    Unless Customer provides iOpen with a valid and correct tax exemption certificate applicable to the product ship-to location prior to iOpen's acceptance of the order, Customer is responsible for sales tax, any value added or import taxes associated with the order. If applicable, a separate charge for taxes will be itemized on the invoice.

    Limitation of Warranty and Remedies.

    THE WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY CUSTOMER. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FURNISHED BY iOPEN ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. ADDITIONALLY, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY YOU OR A THIRD PARTY; BY WIRELESS CARRIERS, DATA CENTERS, BUILDINGS, ACCIDENTS, HILLS, NETWORK CONGESTION, TUNNELS, TOWERS, WEATHER OR OTHER THINGS WE DON'T CONTROL; OR BY ANY ACT OF GOD. FURTHERMORE, iOPEN SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY AND WARRANTIES, IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED, FOR USES REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE IN WHICH FAILURE OF A PRODUCT COULD LEAD TO DEATH, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LIFE SUPPORT OR MEDICAL DEVICES OR NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS. PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN ANY OF THESE APPLICATIONS. IF YOU NEVERTHELESS CHOOSE TO USE THE PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, AND/OR SERVICES IN SUCH ACTIVITIES, YOU MUST NOT RELY ON THEM AS YOUR SOLE OR PRIMARY SOURCE OF MONITORING.

    iOPEN'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE PRODUCT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL iOPEN BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THE PRICE STATED FOR THE PRODUCTS IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING iOPEN'S LIABILITY. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY CUSTOMER MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED.

  15. Publicity:

    Customer agrees that iOpen may use Customer's name and logo in presentations, marketing materials, customer lists, financial reports, and Web site listings of customers. If Customer prefers that their name and/or logo not be used, they must notify iOpen. If Customer wishes to use iOpen's trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features ("Brand Features"), Customer may do so, so long as such use is in compliance with this Agreement and follow iOpen’s branding guide.

  16. Indemnification:

    iOpen shall defend or settle any claim, suit, or action against Customer based on an allegation that any Product purchased by Customer from iOpen infringes any third party's U.S. patent or copyright; provided, that Customer has made no modification or alterations to the product and that Customer gives iOpen prompt written notice of any claim or suit, sole authority to defend or settle as it sees fit, and full cooperation. iOpen may, at its sole option and expense (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the product (ii) modify the product so that it is non-infringing (iii) procure a replacement product that has substantially the same functionality, or if none of the above options is reasonably available (iv) refund to customer the purchase price originally paid less a use credit for the period of use.

    iOpen has no liability for any claim, suit or action based in whole or in part upon or arising out of compliance with Customer's designs, specifications or instructions, modification of the Hardware or Software, or the combination of the Hardware or Software with products or items not furnished by iOpen. THIS SECTION STATES iOPEN'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, SUIT, OR ACTION ALLEGING INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD-PARTY PATENT OR COPYRIGHT.

  17. Order changes and cancellation policy:

    Orders for standard products
    Changes may be made to an order within 24 hours of confirmation. Each item changed or canceled after 24 hours will incur a 7% restocking fee. These changes also make the order subject to new lead times at the time of the change—rather than lead times when the originally quoted when the order was received.

    Orders for Customized Products and Special Orders
    "Customized Product" is a Product that has been altered, at the request of the Customer, from its original form, fit or function. A "Special Order" is an order that exceeds the normal iOpen run rate for a particular product by 20%. Purchase orders accepted for Customized Products or Special Orders are non-cancellable, non-returnable (NC/NR);

    General Provisions
    Standard lead times apply to all orders unless a specific lead time is quoted at the time of the order.
    iOpen may adjust pricing in cases where orders no longer meet the original annual volume commitments.
    If the terms stated in this section conflict with terms in iOpen's written acceptance of a purchase order, the terms of the acceptance will control.

  18. Thirty-Day Satisfaction Guarantee:

    Customers may return iOpen Products for a refund (less 15% restocking fee, sales tax, shipping/handling and any expedite fees) if Seller is contacted within thirty days of the Customer's receipt of the product. Customer may return Products for credit, exchange, or a refund. Returns after 30 days will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Customer must obtain from Seller a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA) prior to returning any products to Seller. Products must be returned unmodified and in original packaging (if possible). Seller reserves the right to refuse return rights for any products that are damaged or not in original form. Volume orders are subject to a restocking fee.

  19. Software:

    All software is owned by iOpen or a third-party licensor who shall retain the exclusive right, title, and ownership of the software. Customer is granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive license, without the right to sublicense, to use the software only with the specific iOpen manufactured hardware that such software is intended to operate with or, if not for use with specific iOpen manufactured hardware, then for the use intended by the Product specification.
