It's easy to start doing business with Linx. Look here to find out more about our sales policies and methods of ordering.

Hours
Excepting holidays, representatives are available 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM PST to assist you with your order, technical, or account questions.

Payment Terms
Customer shall pay Linx in advance for all evaluation kits and orders for less than 1,000 pieces of Product. Customer shall pay all other orders for Product without setoff or deduction upon receipt of Linx's invoice, unless prior credit approval has been granted by Linx. Linx may extend NET 30 terms on approved accounts. Please complete Linx's credit application for consideration of NET 30 terms. All prices quoted or charged by Linx shall be F.O.B. Linx's plant. Prices do not include sales, excise, use, or other taxes measured by the sales price of Product sold. Customer shall pay any and all such taxes.

Evaluation Kit Purchase Requirement
Linx requires the Customer to purchase an evaluation kit prior to the sale of individual modules of Product. This policy ensures that each Customer has the tools necessary to fairly evaluate our Products and legally use them for Customer's application. In addition, a benchmark platform among all our customers allows our engineers the best chance to assist should application difficulties arise.

Sponsorship/Donations
The primary market focus of Linx Technologies is volume OEM manufacturers. We recognize, however, that our products have broad application outside this target market. Each year Linx receives many requests for donations from charitable, scientific, or educational institutions. While Linx finds it appropriate to honor only a small percentage of these requests, each is considered. If you have such a request please state in writing the institution you represent, the nature of your project, and the merit or value to Linx of participation. Address your correspondence to: Linx Technologies, Inc. Attention: Director of Marketing, 159 Ort Lane, Merlin, OR 97532.

Quantity Discounts
Linx may, in its discretion, extend quantity pricing discounts to Customers with accounts in good standing based on the amount of Product purchased in a six-month period with up to four Product release dates. In the event of rescheduling or partial cancellations, Linx will retroactively invoice Customer to reflect the discount attributable for the actual amount of Product accepted.

Delinquent Accounts
Any account more than 20 days in arrears will be placed on credit hold, and your accounting department contacted. Interest shall accrue on all past due amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less. Billing is a courtesy and we ask you to render payment promptly.

Order Cancellations
Customer may cancel an order for standard Product at any time prior to shipment by Linx. If the cancellation affects a quantity discount extended for a blanket order, Customer will be billed retroactively for the difference between the quantity of Product ordered and quantity accepted. Cancellation of an order for custom Product at any time or standard Product after shipment is not permitted.

Changes
Linx realizes Customer’s needs change rapidly and will attempt to accommodate requested changes to Customer’s orders. Additional charges for requested changes may apply.

Delivery
Linx will deliver the Products by placing them with a carrier for delivery to Customer. Delivery dates are estimated only. In no event shall Linx be liable to Customer or any third parties for any damages of any kind, direct or indirect, in the event of delay of delivery.

Inspection and Acceptance
Customer shall promptly inspect and test all Products upon receipt. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted all Products unless Customer gives written notice of defective or non-conforming Products within 15 days after receipt. Customer’s notice shall describe the defect or non-conformity of the Products. Repair or replacement of any Products Linx determines to be defective or non-conforming shall be in accordance with Linx’s Limited Warranty and Exclusions and Customer’s Remedies as provided for below.

Returns
All Product returned to Linx must be accompanied by a valid Return Merchandise Authorization Number ("RMA#"), which may be obtained by calling our Customer Service Department at (541) 471-6256. Products not bearing an RMA# will be returned at Customer’s expense. Customer may return for refund or credit new, unused, non-defective, or conforming Products that were shipped within the prior 120 days subject to (a) a 15% restocking charge, or (b) no restocking charge when the return is accompanied by a new order for Product that is at least twice the invoice amount (freight, insurance, and taxes excluded) of the returned Product.
