For larger orders Telematic expects the Customer to first order an appropriate number to determine suitability, compatibility and satisfactory performance for the intended purpose and process. We prefer our Customers to put our Products ‘through their paces’ before committing to large scale orders - because we understand the more analysis a party performs upfront, the more satisfied they’ll be with the long term results. Of course, if You wish to forego the test and verification phase, and purchase a larger quantity of Products, Telematics' applicable limited warranty will apply. Telematic reserves the right to limit the number of times the 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is available to any given customer for any given period.
Standard Products
Standard Products are eligible for the 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

There may be limitations on where Telematic offers international delivery. Customers' orders may be subject to customs fees and import duties of the country to which you have your order shipped. These charges are always the recipient's responsibility.

If Customer extends the delivery date of an existing order beyond ninety (90) days from the date the order was first placed, then it will be considered a new order.
Purchase Orders
Purchase Order Numbers provide Telematic a query capability to retrieve data you may need; your Purchase Order Number is placed on your Invoices, Packing Slips, Bills of Lading, and other Reference Documents necessary within your companies operating procedures to process purchases and accept deliveries.
Purchase Order Numbers are also critical as a reference point between your Accounts Payable System and Telematics' Accounts Receivable System. Please note requisition numbers are not sufficient.
Bill To and Ship To Addresses
Indicating the Bill To and Ship To addresses ensures all correspondence (e.g. invoices as well as shipments) is routed appropriately to minimize delays. Ship To addresses are also required to ensure proper application of sales and use tax. Tax rates vary by location. Please note that Telematic cannot send merchandise to Post Office addresses.
Customer Contact
In the event that any questions arise, a Point of Contact and Telephone Number will be necessary to assist Telematic in promptly resolving any issues involved in processing your purchase.

Where Purchase Orders are issued for Products or Services, Order Changes require Purchase Order modifications or a letter from the buyer stating that the changes and related price changes are in process of being modified on the original Purchase Order.

Cancellation Policy
Overview
Telematics' Cancellation Policy accounts for the many different types of orders our Customers require. We have set forth the following guidelines to provide our Customers with the information before an order is placed. Once an order is placed but NOT shipped, the following cancellation fee(s) will apply. Once an order has been shipped please refer to Telematics' 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and the Return Policy.
Telematic provides for cancellations in the following circumstance:
Should Customer, for any reason, desire to cancel a current order (prior to shipping) they may do so at any time after order placement but before the order is processed by the Telematic Shipping Department or Telematics' supplier's facility in instances of direct shipment.
Where Products exhibit Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable, or Non-Refundable traits or associations, or where Special Charges, special equipment or services are involved, Customer shall be responsible for all related work in progress; however, Telematic shall take responsible steps to mitigate costs immediately upon receipt of a written cancellation notice from Customer. Once an order is placed with Telematic, we will commence procurement, manufacturing and assembly almost immediately, thereby incurring costs and allocating the required materials and resources to fulfill the new order. For larger orders Telematic expects the Customer to first order a small number to determine suitability, compatibility and satisfactory performance for the intended purpose and process.
Customers may cancel their Order online if the Order was created online, or by contacting Telematic during business hours for Orders entered through Telematic via telephone, email, fax, letter or the website.
Cancellation charges shall apply in accordance with these terms and conditions.
Order cancellations shall not be binding upon nor be put into effect by Telematic unless confirmed in writing by Telematics' appropriate representative; cancellation of orders may be accompanied by cancellation fees.
Change fees may apply to:
- Where special equipment or services are involved
- Quantity of Standard Products
- Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable, and Non-Refundable Products
- Special Charges
Standard Products are eligible for cancellation just as Standard Products are covered by Telematics' 60-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If you purchased new Standard Products directly from Telematic, you may cancel them prior to shipping for a refund or credit (your choice) of the Product purchase price provided the quantity of Standard Products does not exceed twenty-five units (restocking fees apply to only those quantities exceeding twenty-five units).
Standard Products Defined
Any product that is NOT reflective of: Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Products.
Cancelling an Order or Partial Order of Standard Product
Cancellation fees for Standard Products are determined by the quantities and associated net unit prices shown on the order. The fees are applicable to the entire physical configuration of the Product.
To provide our Customers with a fair means of cancelling orders, we offer a cascading fee schedule based on Product quantity and type. For the first instance of partial order cancellations, cancellation percentages are based on the number of Products being cancelled, NOT the total number on the order. Subsequent cancellations will be determined using the number of Products on the original order prior to any cancellations.
Should any event arise that necessitates Customers cancellation of an active order comprised of Standard Products, the following Cancellation Fees shall apply:
Cancellation Fee Schedule – Standard Product
Number of Standard Products (Units) & Restocking Fee (%)
1- 25 0%
1- 25 0%
26- 50 15%
51- 99 35%
100 50%
Example
A Customer cancels an order for 100 Standard Products each having a purchase price of $100.00, the total cancellation charge would be $2090.00 calculated as follows:
UNITS
1- 25 No cancellation fee
26- 50 15% of each unit = $360.
51- 99 35% of each unit = $1,680.
100 50% of each unit = $50.
Cancellation Fee Schedule - Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable and/or Non-Refundable Product
Should any event arise that necessitates Customer cancellation of an active order comprised of Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Products, the following Cancellation Fees shall apply.
Please note Telematic shall take responsible steps to mitigate costs immediately upon receipt of a written cancellation notice from Customer, the sooner we are notified of Your desire to cancel an item or an order the more likely the opportunity that we can reduce this cost to you.
One or more (1 ) Unit(s). Based on any Custom, Non-Cancellable, Non-Returnable or Non-Refundable Product(s):
- One hundred percent (100%)
Cancellation of an Order in the Event of Misrepresentation
Telematic may terminate any order at any time if any representations made by Customer to Telematic are false or misleading, whether or not a credit card or an account has been charged or an order has received confirmation and acceptance. If a credit card or account has already been charged and an order is then cancelled by Telematic, Telematic shall issue a credit to the credit card or account for the full amount of the charge.

Telematic will not be responsible for damage or loss that occurs to goods after they are delivered to the freight forwarder. This means Telematic is not liable to provide a replacement of, or refund for, any goods delivered to a freight forwarder. You should instruct freight forwarders to refuse goods that arrive damaged, and goods lost after being received by the freight forwarder will be your responsibility.
You (or the freight forwarder if you so designate) become the exporter of the goods and are solely responsible for compliance with all export and import regulations, including all Canadian export regulations (or U.S. export regulations if Telematic is shipping from the U.S.) and the import regulations of the destination country. Telematic must not be listed on any export or import documentation (e.g., import or export declarations, invoices, packing lists, etc.).
Products exported by you through a freight forwarder may be returned to Telematic, provided that you are responsible for all costs associated with returning the goods to Canada. In addition, you become the exporter and importer of record of the shipment; title and risk of loss transfer to Telematic upon receipt of the goods at Telematics' facility.
Shipping Rates and Times for Geographical Regions

You must comply with all U.S., Canadian, or other export and re-export restrictions that may apply to goods, software, technology, and services.

Acceptance for the Products by Customer occurs upon Delivery.
Disputes
All disputes on invoices must be reported within twenty (20) days of invoice date. All disputes on goods or services must be reported within ten (10) days of receipt of said goods or services.
Damage to Shipment
Our merchandise is carefully packed for shipment in compliance with Carrier requirements. In the event an item is damaged in shipment, you must submit a claim to the Carrier within ten (10) days of delivery. We advise that you unpack and inspect all merchandise immediately upon receiving it. If damage does not become apparent until the shipment is unpacked, make a request within 72 hours for inspection by the carrier’s agent and file with the Carrier. Keep all containers and packing material for inspection.
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the freight bill or Carrier’s receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent prior to your acceptance and signature of receipt of the shipment. Failure to do this may result in the Carrier refusing to honor the claim. Returned equipment shall remain the property of the Customer and all related costs shall be at Customer’s expense.

Testing

Inspection
Customer will have the right to inspect the goods on tender by Telematic. If Customer receives the goods or takes possession of them without inspecting, this will constitute a waiver of its right to inspect. Further, Customer will have the opportunity, at the time and place of inspection, and at its sole expense, to run adequate tests to determine whether the goods are free from defects. If the Customer is to use a portion of the goods for the purpose of test and evaluation and said testing damages the goods, the Customer shall compensate Telematic, at the contract prices, for all goods so damaged, although the goods may be rejected or unacceptable to Customer. In the event Customer rejects any shipment of goods, he may elect to retain a part of the shipment and return the balance.
On-Site Receipt of Equipment & Installation
Customer shall be responsible for receiving, installing, starting up and maintaining all equipment, unless specified in writing by Telematic.
Invoices and Payment
For Customers who have credit terms with Telematic, Customer agrees to pay, without offset or holdback, all invoiced amounts within thirty (30) days of Telematics' invoice date. Telematic may change credit or payment terms for unfulfilled orders if, in Telematics' reasonable opinion, Customer's financial condition, previous payment record, or relationship with Telematic merits such change. Telematic may suspend or discontinue performance of open Orders or Services if Customer fails to pay invoices when due, or if after ten (10) days written notice Customer has not cured any other failure to perform under these Terms.
Customer shall make payment in full prior to or upon delivery by cashier's cheque, credit card, EFT, wire transfer, or money order, unless Telematic approves Customer for credit terms. Acceptance and approval of Customers credit application is at the sole discretion of Telematic. All sums not paid when due shall accrue interest daily at the lesser of a monthly rate of 1.5% or the highest rate permissible by law on the unpaid balance until paid in full. Payment shall be in the currency stated on Telematics' (quotation if provided) and invoice. In the event Customer has credit terms with Telematic, and where an order contains multiple quantities of Products, each Product will be invoiced when shipped.
Telematic accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, wire transfers, and cheques. Wire transfers are acceptable for Customers with credit terms. Telematic may accept C.O.D. Orders are subject to customs duties and/or brokerage fees. Telematic requires full payment prior to shipment, unless credit terms have been expressly granted. If Telematic brings an action for breach of these Terms and Conditions, including any action to enforce its right to payment, Customer shall be liable for Telematics' reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with such action.
Customer will provide Telematic, concurrent with each payment, with remittance information in sufficient detail (to the invoice level or line level as the case may be) to allow Telematic to properly apply payments or credit memos to outstanding receivable(s) on Telematics' accounts receivable sub-ledger for Customer. Customer shall also include its account number with any remittance. Failure to supply Telematic with such remittance detail will result in additional processing delays and may affect the credit status of pending or future Customer purchase orders. When Customer wishes to apply one or more credit memos towards a payment amount owed Telematic, Customer agrees to provide Telematic, on a timely basis, the specific credit memo number(s) and amount(s) to be applied, in addition to the remittance information requirements above. If Customer does not provide such information on a timely basis, Telematic shall apply any such credit memos to outstanding receivables, beginning with the most-aged receivables first.
If a credit card is being used for a transaction, Telematic may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing normally occurs at the time of or shortly after your order transaction is processed. When making purchases, credits are used first; your credit card or your account, if applicable, is then charged for any remaining balance.
Credit Account Terms
Telematic extends a line of credit or credit terms to qualified business Customers. To be considered, your business must meet the following minimum requirements: 1) Your Company has been in business for a minimum of 6 months; 2) You have a business checking account; and 3) You have at least three positive trade credit references. Please fill in the Credit Application form if you want to apply for a Line of Credit.
Payment Methods for Accounts

Letters of Credit
Payment may be made by irrevocable confirmed L/C provided that the total invoice value of the export order is more than US$10,000.00. Multi-line L/C orders must allow for two partial shipments and be valid for a period of at least one hundred fifty (150) days. L/C fees will be charged to Customers account.
Credit Cards
We accept VISA, MasterCard and American Express. We do not accept debit cards. We accept up to two credit cards for a single order; however the credit card holder’s address must be the same as the billing address when purchasing Products.
EFT – Electronic Funds Transfer
Telematic prefers to receive account payments electronically. With our EFT Payment Plan, Telematic emails you an invoice notifying you of the funds being due as per your account terms; your bank transfers the amount of the invoice from your checking account to the specified Telematic account. Each payment is shown on your monthly bank statement. At Telematic we sincerely appreciate working with corporations that endeavor to reduce the amount of paper-based transactions.
Wire Transfer
Telematic accepts bank wire transfers as a valid form of payment. If you would like to use a wire transfer to pay for your order, please perform the following steps: 1. Order your Telematic Product by e-mail, fax, mail, courier or phone. 2. Determine the total amount of the invoice including any applicable taxes and shipping charges. 3. Instruct your bank to electronically transfer the total invoice amount or your order (please have the bank reference your name and Telematic order number).
Payment Terms
Payment terms are subject to Telematic credit approval. Payment is due thirty (30) days from Telematics' invoice date. Telematic may change credit or payment terms at any time when, in Telematics' opinion, Customer’s financial condition, previous payment record, or the nature of Customer’s relationship with Telematic so warrants. Telematic may discontinue performance if Customer fails to pay any sum due, or fails to perform under this or any other Telematic agreement if, after ten (10) days written notice, the failure has not been cured.

This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days). We'll notify you via email of your refund once we've received and processed the return.

It is of utmost importance that the complete product catalog from the manufacturer has been reviewed and understood by the system designer and the user to ensure the product selected is safe for the purposes intended by the system designer and the user. Do not install products or components not governed by industrial design standards. Neither Telematic, nor any of its affiliated entities assumes responsibility for the selection, use or maintenance of any product. Responsibility for proper selection, use, and maintenance of any product remains solely with the purchaser and end user.
Failure or improper selection or improper use of the products described herein or related items can cause death, personal injury and property damage.

The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely responsible for making the final selection of the system and components and assuring that all performance, endurance, maintenance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met. The user must analyze all aspects of the application, follow applicable industry standards, and follow the information concerning the product in the current product catalog and in any other materials provided from Telematic or its suppliers or authorized distributors.

Product Warranty
Except when otherwise noted, Telematic warranties that for the twelve month (12) period commencing upon the ship date, all Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship and that such warranties shall continue to apply to all products repaired or replaced pursuant to Telematics' warranties until the later of three (3) months after such repair or replacement or fifteen (15) months from the original ship date. Extended warranties may be available on select Products but any extended warranties will apply only if (i) expressly set forth in writing by Telematic prior to shipment and (ii) paid for by Customer. If a Product appears to be non-functioning or defective, read this section and contact Telematic Technical Support at +1 403 253 7939 or send an inquiry to support@telematic.com. A Telematic technician will contact you to discuss your issue and options. If the Product is under warranty at the time Customer submits a warranty claim to Telematic, and the warranty has not been voided, Telematic will, at its sole option, either repair or replace the Product, or issue Customer a refund for the purchase price of the Product. In the case of discontinued items, a comparable replacement as determined by Telematic may be provided. The foregoing shall be Customer's sole remedy and Telematics' sole liability under any warranty claim. The warranty will be void if there is evidence of damage, misuse, or modification by the Customer. The warranty does not extend to software. For warranty repairs, International customers must bear shipping costs to Telematic and any insurance, duties, taxes, brokerage fees and associated expenses associated with the RMA. When items returned for repair are found to be working or when the warranty has been voided, the cost of shipping back to the Customer will be charged to the Customer. Prior to sending back customer specific data storing devices, customers should backup all valuable data.
For products shipped internationally, please note that any manufacturer warranty may not be valid; manufacturer service options may not be available; product manuals, instructions and safety warnings may not be in destination country languages; the products (and accompanying materials) may not be designed in accordance with destination country standards, specifications, and labeling requirements; and the products may not conform to destination country voltage and other electrical standards. Customer is solely responsible for assuring that the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from Telematic, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
Telematic hardware Products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date Telematic ships the Products to Customer ("Delivery Date"). All software Products are licensed to Customer under the terms of the appropriate Telematic license. For a period of ninety (90) days from the Delivery Date, Telematic software Products (a) will perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying written materials, and (b) the medium on which the software product is recorded will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. Any replacement of a licensed software product will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Customer must obtain a Return Material Authorization number from Telematic before returning any Products under warranty to Telematic. Customer shall pay expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products to and from Telematic. After examining and testing a returned product, if Telematic concludes that a returned product is not defective, Customer will be notified, the product returned at Customer's expense, and a charge made for examination and testing. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Products has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, modification, improper calibration by Customer, Customer supplied third party software not intended for use with the applicable Product, or unauthorized maintenance or repair.
Product Warranty Claims & Remedies
This Agreement states all remedies for warranty claims. To the extent permitted by law, Telematic disclaims all other warranties. When we receive a valid warranty claim for a Telematic hardware or software product, or third party supplier, Telematic will either repair the relevant defect or replace the product. If Telematic is unable to complete the repair or replace the product within a reasonable time, Customer will be entitled to a full refund upon the prompt return of the product to Telematic (if hardware) or upon written confirmation by Customer that the relevant software product has been destroyed or permanently disabled. Telematic will pay for shipment of repaired or replaced products to Customer and Customer will be responsible for return shipment of the product to Telematic. Telematics' sole obligation (and Customer's sole remedy) with respect to the foregoing Limited Warranty shall be to, at its option, return the fees paid or repair/replace any defective Products, provided that Telematic receives written notice of such defects during the applicable warranty period. Customer may not bring an action to enforce its remedies under the foregoing Limited Warranty more than one (1) year after the accrual of such cause of action.
No Other Warranties
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING. TELEMATIC DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. TELEMATIC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN.
No Liability for Consequential Damages
The entire liability of Telematic and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) is set forth above. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Telematic and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) be liable for any damages, including, but not limited to, any special, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, expenses, lost profits, lost savings, business interruption, lost business information, or any other damages arising out of the use or inability to use the Products, even if Telematic or its licensors, distributors, and suppliers has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Customer acknowledges that the applicable purchase price or license fee for the Products reflects this allocation of risk. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. If the foregoing limitation of liability is not enforceable because a Telematic product sold or licensed to Customer is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage, in no event shall Telematics' liability for property damage exceed the greater of $50,000 or fees paid for the specific product that caused such damage.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Warranties
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty and limited remedy set forth above fails of its essential purpose. The warranty provided is subject to the limitation of liability and waiver of consequential and other damages set forth in these Terms. The Products are not designed, intended or licensed for use in, including without limitation, the design, construction, maintenance or operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, life support or weapons systems. Telematic specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for such purposes. No oral or written information or advice given by Telematic, its dealers, distributors, agents or employees shall create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of any warranty provided in the Agreement.
Limitation on Liability
THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER BROUGHT UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER TO TELEMATIC FOR THE PRODUCT(S) THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THE LIABILITY OF TELEMATIC, ITS SUPPLIERS AND ITS SUBCONTRACTORS SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER INCIDENT. Neither Customer nor Telematic will be liable for lost revenues or profits, downtime costs, loss or damage to data or indirect, special or consequential costs or damages.

Intellectual Property Rights Infringement
Telematic will defend and/or settle any claims against Customer that allege that a Telematic or a Telematic-branded product or service as supplied under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Telematic will rely on Customer’s prompt notification of the claim and cooperation with our defense. Telematic may modify the product or service so as to be non-infringing and materially equivalent, or we may procure a license. If these options are not available, we will refund to Customer the amount paid for the affected product in the first year or the depreciated value thereafter or, for support services, the balance of any pre-paid amount. Telematic is not responsible for claims resulting from any unauthorized use of the products or services.
