("Sales Agreement").

1. Entire Agreement; Enforceability of Terms: No order for Products shall be binding upon Passion Labels until acknowledged in writing by Passion Labels by means of an order confirmation or other similar confirmation, however designated ("Confirmation"). The Confirmation and these Terms (together with any terms of any Sales Agreement) shall constitute the entire agreement between Passion Labels and Customer regarding the sale and purchase of the Products. Any purchase order, offer or counter-offer made by Customer before or after the Confirmation is rejected and all documents exchanged prior to the Confirmation are merely preliminary negotiations and not part of any agreement between the parties. Any terms submitted by Customer which are contrary to or inconsistent with these Terms are expressly rejected and of no force and effect and acceptance is made conditioned upon assent to these Terms. Customer shall have been deemed to agree to these Terms upon the earlier acceptance of Passion Labels' quotation, acceptance of delivery of the Products or the issuance of a purchase order to Passion Labels. No provision of these Terms shall be subject to change in any manner except as agreed to in writing and signed by an officer of Passion Labels. Any salesperson or other employee of Passion Labels is not authorized to change these Terms in any manner. No conditions, usage, trade, course of dealing or performance, or understanding purporting to modify, vary, explain, or supplement these Terms shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by an Officer of Passion Labels. In the event that an order for Products is repeated and additional quotes and/or Confirmations are not delivered to the Customer, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that these Terms shall apply to and be binding upon all such repeat orders.

2. Prices; Ownership of Dies and Plates. Unless a fixed price is quoted on an acknowledged sales order or other Passion Labels document, prices are subject to change without notice; and the prices invoiced will be those in effect at the time of shipment. Customer acknowledges that Passion Labels may charge an additional fee for customized dies or plates required to fulfill an order, and agrees that Passion Labels will retain ownership of the dies and plates at all times.

2. Taxes. Any tax imposed by any taxing authority that is or becomes payable by reason of the sale, or delivery of Products sold to a Customer, will be payable by the Customer and, if paid by or levied or assessed against Passion Labels, will either be added to the price of the Products or billed to the Customer separately, as Passion Labels may elect.

Net thirty (30) days may be applied for by completing a credit application.  If approved by Passion Labels, payment must be made net thirty (30) days from the date of Passion Label's invoice payable in U.S. currency. Passion Labels has the right, among other remedies, either to terminate a purchase agreement or order or to suspend further performance with the Customer in the event the Customer fails to make any payment when due. Customer shall be liable for all expenses, including attorneys' fees, relating to the collection of past-due amounts. If any payment owed to Passion Labels is not paid when due, it is subject to an interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, if less than 12 percent, from the date on which it is due until it is paid. If, in good faith, Passion Labels deems itself to be insecure with respect to Customer's financial condition, Passion Labels may require prepayments or other assurances for future deliveries. Customer hereby grants Passion Labels a security interest in all Products sold to Customer by Passion Labels, which security interest shall continue until such Products are fully paid for in cash.

Passion Labels reserves the right to make partial shipments and to place certain orders on "back order." Passion Labels, at its option, shall not be bound to tender delivery of any Products for which Customer has not provided shipping instructions. If Passion Labels has agreed to pay freight, Passion Labels shall have the right to designate routing and means of transportation; and if Customer requires a more expensive routing and/or means, Customer will pay any extra cost involved.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Passion Labels, all orders are subject to a 10% over/under run allowance in the quantity of Product delivered compared to the quantity of Product ordered and are invoiced accordingly (i.e., invoiced based on the quantity delivered). All orders delivered within the over/under run allowance will be considered acceptable for delivery.

6. Product Use. All statements, technical information and data contained in Product specifications, descriptions or other documents are based upon tests or experiences that Passion Labels believes are reliable. However, many factors beyond Passion Labels' control can affect the use and performance of a Product in a particular application, including the conditions under which the Product is used and the time and environmental conditions in which the Product is expected to perform. Since these factors are uniquely within the Customer's or other end-user's knowledge and control, it is essential that the Customer or other end-user evaluate the Product to determine whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for the Customer's or other end-user's specific application(s).

Any statements made by a Passion Labels salesperson or other employee as to a Product's quality or fitness for a particular purpose shall be considered solely the opinion of the salesperson or other employee, and shall not constitute an express warranty.
