These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be incorporated into any contract
between Purchaser and Brother International Corporation (hereafter Brother) and
shall apply to all purchase orders issued by Purchaser. Unless specifically provided
herein or in a separate written agreement duly executed by Brother, the quotation
and this form constitute the entire agreement between Brother and Purchaser and

Price and Delivery Terms
Price and delivery terms are F.O.B. Brother's nearest U.S facility and do not include
sales, use, excise or any other taxes. Our responsibility ceases when delivery is

must be handled by the purchaser with the carrier.
Packing
No charge is made for standard boxing for domestic shipments. Purchaser will be
quoted and charged separately for export or special packing requirements.
Payment Terms
To purchasers with a credit standing satisfactory to Brother, terms of payment are
cash in full, net 30 days. If at any time Brother deems that by reason of financial
condition of the Purchaser or otherwise, the continuance of production or shipments
is not justified, Brother may revoke its extension of Credit, enforce any security
interest(s) created hereby on all goods furnished by Brother to the Purchaser and
otherwise secure itself as to purchaser's performance of its obligation.
Cancellation
Changes, suspension or cancellation of any order by Purchaser may be made only upon
