1. LIMITS OF AGREEMENT
The terms and conditions as set forth herein as well as any additional terms and conditions that may appear on the face hereof shall constitute the entire agreement between our company the Seller and your company the Buyer.

2. SHIPPING INFORMATION
All shipments shall be EX WORKS Seller's facility in California. (i.e. Seller makes the goods available to the Buyer at the Seller's own premises). At Buyer's request the Seller will accept deliveries FOB Seller's facility in California. (i.e. Seller is called on to deliver the goods to a carrier named by the Buyer. These are shipment contracts with the shipment point named, and carriage unpaid by the seller.) Seller reserves the right to request a prepaid deposit to cover the cost of freight, especially on international shipments. Deposit will be refunded to the customer or applied as credit once Seller receives proof that shipping charges have been accepted and paid by customer. The selected carriers are FedEx and UPS.
Default shipping method is FedEx Standard Overnight or UPS Next Day Air. Buyer has to provide Seller with a valid FedEx or UPS account #. Ground shipments, prepaid and add or shipments to PO Boxes or freight forwarders are not available.
Where special domestic or export packaging is specified involving greater expense, supplemental charges will apply to cover such extra expense. When customer does not provide a valid FedEx or UPS account # a minimum charge of $25 will apply to any shipment in California, a minimum of $40 to any destination to continental US and a minimum of $55 to Hawaii, Alaska and US possessions.

3. DELIVERY
a) Estimated Standard Lead-time (in business working days ARO - Not including shipping time) - in accordance with quote.
b) Rush delivery and rush charges (in business working days ARO - Not including shipping time). Rush delivery may apply to certain custom TECHNOLOGIES. For Rush Orders (RFQ requiered), a rush charge of up to 100% is added to the total charges.
Seller will attempt to meet shipment schedules. However, any shipment quotation or forecast on an order acknowledgment is only an estimate of the time required to make shipment and Seller will not assume liability, consequential or otherwise, because of any delay or failure to deliver all or any part of any order for any reason, including its active or passive negligence. Seller reserves the right to allocate inventories and current production in any way it deems necessary. Delivery does not include vacation or any US holidays nor holidays observed overseas by any of our subcontractors. Delivery does not include shipping and transit time.
SPECIAL NOTE: Quantity for any custom made product will include a tolerance of ±20%. Final cost will match the actual shipped quantity.

A die is a small block of semiconductor material, ceramic or glass on which a given circuit function is fabricated. Many dice are manufactured in large batches at the same time on a substrate or wafer in a series of successive photolithographic processes. Upon completion of the manufacturing process, the substrates or wafers are diced in many die. Substrate or wafer singulation also referred as dicing or sawing process is final critical step in bare die manufacturing process. Our company has undertaken the task to redesign and manufacture the future semiconductor and thin film bare die components. Our bare die TECHNOLOGIES are used in assembly of hybrid circuits and are compatible with chip and wire, flip chip, chip scale CSP and surface mount technologies SMD. In today's extreme miniaturization market, there is no more room for the large packages to protect the die. It means that the bare die has to survive on its own without the protection of a package. Known Good Die concept is no longer satisfactory if the die cannot withstand harsh environmental conditions and degrades. The solution developed by our company for known good die for bare die applications is gold interconnection and gold terminations and well-engineered materials that further enhance the die reliability. Our company designs and manufactures standard and custom semiconductor and thin film components for bio-medical, wireless telecommunications, optoelectronics, computing, industrial, military and space and satellite applications.
