Subject to the express terms of any other valid agreement you (“you”) have with Trimble, Trimble's sale of Products and provision of Software and Data Services are governed by these terms and conditions of sale (“Terms”). These Terms include the Basic Order Terms (defined below) specified on an order accepted by us. “Trimble”, “we” or “us” means Trimble Navigation Limited or its affiliate identified on our order acknowledgment. Every order you place with us is conditioned upon and confirms your acceptance of these Terms. Any contrary terms or conditions appearing on your orders or associated purchase documentation will be of no effect. No waiver, modification, or addition to these Terms, or any assignment of your rights or obligations under them is valid or binding on us unless in writing and signed by our authorized representative. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Trimble for your purchase and use of Products, Software and Data Services. Each accepted order will be interpreted as a single set of Terms, independent of other orders.
1. Definitions . "Products" means hardware products provided hereunder. "Software" means any software, library, utility, tool, or other computer or program code, in object (binary) or source-code form, as well as the related documentation, provided by Trimble to you. Software includes Product firmware, software locally installed on your systems and software accessed by you through the Internet or other remote means (such as websites, portals, software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) and "cloud-based" solutions). “Data Services” means services involving data collection, processing, analysis or generation including the related deliverables produced thereby and provided by Trimble to you (such as maps, satellite/aerial imagery, reports or other documentation). “Service” or "Services" means any services provided by Trimble as described in one or more Service Agreements or Service Plans. "Service Agreements" are service contracts such as for support and maintenance or professional services, "Statements of Work," and any other such mutually agreed upon documents. These Terms do not apply to Service Agreements which have their own terms and conditions. “Third Party Content” means any code, libraries, programs, software, documentation, content or other intellectual property right of any type which is not the sole property of Trimble.
2. General.
2.1 Quotes, Validity of Orders: Our quotations are non-binding unless otherwise expressly stipulated in writing. Orders are accepted as valid and binding only when confirmed by us in writing. Orders cannot be canceled for any reason without our prior written consent.
2.2 Basic Order Terms: All orders must include the following information: (i) the Products, Software and Data Services ordered and quantities, (ii) Trimble part number(s), (iii) prices, and (iv) delivery instructions, (collectively, “Basic Order Terms”). All Basic Order Terms are fixed and final upon our acceptance of the order.
2.3 Software Licenses. All Software is licensed and not sold. Software is subject to the separate software license agreements accompanying the Software, along with any product guides, operating manuals or other documentation included with the Software media or presented to you during the installation or use of the Software (such as an End User License Agreement (“EULA”), Terms of Use or Terms of Service) (collectively, “User Licenses”). You agree that you will be bound by such User Licenses. If there is a conflict between these Terms and those of a User License the terms of the User License will control. If no license terms accompany Software included with a Product or Service, then Trimble hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable license to access and use such Software solely as necessary for you to enjoy the benefit of the Product or Service. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to grant any rights or license to use any Software in any manner or for any purpose not expressly permitted by the applicable Trimble license.
2.4 User Data. The data you enter into data bases ("User Data") on servers operated by or for Trimble will be stored during the Term. Not limiting the foregoing, Trimble retains the right to delete User Data that is five (5) or more years older than the date of its generation at any time. You may extract User Data for thirty (30) days following expiration or termination of the Services (the “Extraction Period”). Trimble will delete User Data after the Extraction Period.
3. Delivery.
3.1 Delivery time: Delivery times are established when Trimble accepts your order in writing. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet your requested delivery dates, unless you are in default under these Terms or our performance is otherwise excused. We are not liable for late or delayed delivery. Late delivery is not a basis for your cancellation of any order.
3.2 Delivery terms: Title and risk of loss or damage to Products (except title to Software which remains with Trimble or its licensors) passes to you when we deliver the Products to the shipping carrier ("Delivery"). Unless otherwise agreed, we will deliver the Product freight prepaid, provided that you pay or reimburse us for all applicable costs of carriage, freight, insurance (if applicable), taxes, duty and other related shipping charges. We have the right to make partial deliveries. Software may be delivered electronically at Trimble’s option.
4. Acceptance, Inspection, Notice of Nonconformance :
4.1 Your acceptance of ordered Products, Software and Data Services is deemed to occur upon our Delivery of the Products to the shipping carrier, upon Software activation, or upon delivery of the Data Service deliverables to you, as applicable. You are responsible for giving prompt written notice of identified damage or nonconformance of Products, Software or Data Service deliverables. In the case of Products you must inspect the condition of the packaging and the Products upon receipt and indicate any evident damage to the carrier on the delivery note, have the carrier's agent sign the document and, within two (2) days of receipt of the damaged or non-conforming Products, send all documents by e-mail or fax to our facility from which shipment took place, together with the carrier's references. Concealed Product damage claims must be made by you to the carrier directly and you must also provide us with written notice and a copy of any such claim within 10 days of receipt of the affected Products. Likewise you must notify us within 10 days of receipt of incorrect Products. If you retain the Product without giving notice within the designated notice period, you will be deemed to have waived your right to reject the Product.
4.2 If you cancel an accepted Product order within 10 days prior to shipment or reject conforming Products received under an accepted order, we are entitled to claim reasonable compensation for restocking and other expenses actually incurred.

The Service Plans are subject to change at Trimble’s discretion; however, changes to the Service Plans shall not result in a material reduction in the level of performance or availability of the applicable Services provided to you for the duration of the Term.
6. Return of Product : All Product returns are subject to our prior written consent and must comply with our product return (RMA) procedures then in effect. (See http://www.trimble.com/Support/Support_AZ.aspx for details.) Before returning or exchanging a Product, you must contact us directly to obtain an authorization number to include with your return.

7.3 We reserve the right to charge interest on all overdue sums owing to us under these Terms at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest legal limit if lower than said amount), measured from the date the sums in question became payable to the date on which we receive full payment.
7.4 You grant us a purchase money security interest in each Product delivered to you until payment is made in full to us for such Products. Upon request, you will cooperate with us in perfecting any such security interest.

Your use of any such Service will be subject to the Service Plan option conditions applicable to the Services you purchase or otherwise acquire. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that if a Service Plan to which you have subscribed is “unbundled” (meaning that your Service does not come with pre-paid communications carrier services arranged and provided for by Trimble), you are solely responsible for the terms, conditions and obligations (payment and otherwise) arising from agreements between you and any communications carrier and your use of communications carrier services in connection with the Service, including without limitation, any wireless data overage charges resulting from your use of a public network connection.
