  Ally Technical. STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE, REPAIR, FIELD SERVICE, AND EQUIPMENT LOAN 

1. Acceptance of Terms 

All quotations, sales orders, invoices, shipments, repairs, field services, loaners, and related transactions are governed by these Terms and Conditions. Acceptance of a quotation, purchase order, shipment, payment, or services constitutes acceptance of these Terms unless superseded by a written agreement signed by Ally Techical. 

2. Pricing Errors 

Ally Technical reserves the right to correct typographical, clerical, pricing, quotation, or administrative errors prior to shipment or performance. 

3. Payment Terms 

Payment terms are stated on the customer account, quotation, sales order, and/or invoice. Past due balances may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. 

4. Credit Holds 

Ally Technical may suspend shipments, repairs, warranties, loaners, or services on delinquent accounts. 

5. Transactional & Exchange Sales 

Products sold on an exchange basis require the Customer to return the corresponding exchange core using the Return Material Authorization ("RMA") issued by Ally Technical at the time of sale. The required core must be shipped in accordance with the RMA instructions and received by Ally Technical within fifteen (15) calendar days of delivery of the exchange product, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The exchange price is conditioned upon Ally Technical's timely receipt of a Like and Repairable core.

For purposes of these Terms:

"Like" means the returned core is the same part number, model, version, revision, configuration, or other substantially equivalent product classification as the product supplied by Ally Technical, as reasonably determined by Ally Technical.

"Repairable" means the returned core has not sustained physical, electrical, environmental, liquid, contamination, component, or other damage beyond what Ally Technical reasonably determines can be repaired or refurbished through its normal repair processes.

A returned core may be deemed "Not Like" if it is a different version, revision, model, configuration, or otherwise not substantially equivalent to the exchange product supplied.

A returned core may be deemed "Not Repairable" if its condition, damage, missing components, modification, contamination, or other circumstances make repair or refurbishment commercially unreasonable or impracticable, as reasonably determined by Ally Technical.

If the Customer:

  • fails to return the required core by the applicable due date;
  • returns a core without the applicable RMA or in a manner that prevents Ally Technical from reasonably identifying or processing the return;
  • returns a core that is Not Like; or
  • returns a core that is Not Repairable,

Ally Technical may issue an additional invoice ("Additional Bill") for the applicable core charge or the difference between the exchange price and the replacement value of the product supplied.

The amount of the Additional Bill may be determined by Ally Technical based on commercially reasonable factors, including replacement cost, procurement cost, market availability, scarcity, condition of the returned core, repairability, and administrative expense.

Payment of an Additional Bill does not transfer ownership of any product or core to the Customer unless expressly stated by Ally Technical in writing. Acceptance or possession of a returned core does not constitute acceptance of the core as Like and Repairable or waive Ally Technical's right to assess an Additional Bill following inspection.

6. Returns 

Returns require prior written authorization and an RMA. Requests must be made within fifteen (15) calendar days of delivery. Approved returns must be unused, uninstalled, in original packaging, in resalable condition, include the RMA, and be received within fifteen (15) days after the RMA is issued.
