Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”, “Terms of Use”) carefully before using the https://g2voptics.com website (the “Service”) operated by G2V Optics Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you may not access the Service.
These Terms and Conditions incorporate by reference the Quotation, Purchase Order or Service Order to which they are attached (collectively, “Order”). “Agreement” means these Terms and Conditions, the Product Customization Addendum and Extended Warranty Addendum, if applicable, and any Order or other document to which they are attached or incorporated by reference.
Except as otherwise agreed in writing, the price for the Products set out in the Order (“Purchase Price”) will be firm as of the date of order acceptance paid in in the indicated currency without regard to foreign currency fluctuations. Prices for Customized Work or Enhanced Warranty, if applicable, shall be set out in the Product Customization Addendum or the Enhanced Warranty Addendum, as applicable. Payment shall be due to G2V upon invoicing, without set-off, deduction, or withholding. Overdue payments shall bear interest at a rate of 2% per month or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, compounded monthly, and any late payments received from Customer shall be applied by G2V to such portions of the payment arrears as may be determined by G2V in its sole discretion. If Customer has not paid an amount due hereunder and in addition to all other remedies available for late payment, G2V may, upon notice to the Customer, suspend G2V’s performance of the Agreement until G2V receives the outstanding payment, or terminate this Agreement. G2V may require the Customer to pay a deposit under this Agreement (“Deposit”). The Deposit shall be non-refundable and shall be applied to the Purchase Price. If the Customer fails to make any payment due hereunder or commits any other breach of this Agreement, G2V may, in G2V’s sole discretion, retain such deposit on account of damages without limiting G2V’s right to pursue other remedies at law and in equity.
The Customer shall pay when due, all taxes including all sales, use, property, rental, excise, goods and services, and other taxes or duties (each of which is a “Tax”) now or hereafter imposed by any federal, provincial, state, or local government or taxing authority upon the Products or Services which are subject matter of these Terms and Conditions (except income taxes payable by G2V).
Provided that standard Products are ordered in accordance with the lead times set out in the Order (“Lead Time”), G2V will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver standard Equipment to the Customer on or before the delivery time set out in the Order (“Delivery Time”) and in accordance with the delivery terms specified in this Agreement. If no delivery terms are specified, the delivery terms will be Ex Works (EXW) G2V’s manufacturing facility, as such term is defined in Incoterms 2020. Customer may reschedule an order for standard Products one time at no additional cost if notice is provided within the Lead Time. If the Customer cancels an order for standard Product within the Lead Time, G2V may retain any deposits and advance payments received and Customer will pay any additional amounts required to fully indemnify G2V against loss, all of which shall be no less than 30% of the Purchase Price. Orders for customized or non-standard Products or resulting from Custom Work are non-cancellable and cannot be rescheduled, and Customer shall be liable for the entire Purchase Price. G2V shall use commercially reasonable efforts to delivery customized or non-standard Products as set out in the applicable Order. The Customer shall pay the foregoing amounts on account of damages suffered by G2V, but the payment of such amounts by the Customer shall not limit G2V’s right to pursue the Customer for additional damages and other remedies under this Agreement at law or in equity.
If G2V is delayed or incurs additional costs in performing its obligations as a result of any default, including delay, by the Customer or its agents, then the completion, delivery and other dates contemplated under this Agreement shall be adjusted as reasonably required to accommodate the effects of that default or delay, and the Customer shall pay G2V additional costs reasonably and necessarily incurred by G2V as the result of such delay or default.
All drawings and technical documents relating to the Products and Services submitted by one party to the other, prior, or subsequent to the entering into of the Agreement, remain the property of the submitting party. Such drawings and technical documents and the information contained therein may not, without the prior consent of the submitting party, be used, copied, or communicated by the receiving party for any other purpose than that for which they were provided.
Until all amounts under this Agreement are fully paid, G2V shall retain title to the Products purchased by Customer from G2V, and have a security interest in the Products, and Customer shall have no right, title, or interest in the Products. In the event of a default under this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by G2V, Customer shall forthwith upon demand return all Products in Customer’s possession and control for which all payments required under this Agreement have not been paid.
“Confidential Information” means any and all information, in any form (whether oral, written, electronic, digital or otherwise) and on any media, relating to the business, technical, research and development, or other affairs of a party, disclosed or made available by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), directly or indirectly, or otherwise learned by the Receiving Party, in the course of the Receiving Party’s discussions or business dealings with the disclosing party, its employees, contractors, or any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Disclosing Party.

G2V grants Customer a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, revocable right and license to use the G2V Software that the Customer has licensed (either as a stand-alone license or as software included with a hardware purchase) in machine-readable form and to use and documentation delivered with such G2V Software. All rights not expressly granted are hereby reserved. If the Product on which the G2V Software was loaded or installed becomes inoperative, the license for the G2V Software will be transferred to the hardware replaced under warranty.
