Navitas Semiconductor Standard Terms & Conditions
1. Terms of Sale
These standard terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern all sales of products (collectively, the “Products”) by Navitas Semiconductor Limited or any of its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates or related entities (“Navitas”) to Buyer regardless of whether Buyer purchases the Products through written purchase orders, electronic orders, verbal or written quotations, or any other writings or communications from Navitas and/or Buyer relating to the Products (collectively, the “Purchase Orders”). Upon Navitas express acceptance of any Purchase Order by its issuance of a written Sales Order Acknowledgement (“SOA”) or upon commencement of performance by Navitas, these Terms and the Purchase Orders become a binding contract between Buyer and Navitas (the “Sales Agreement”), and together constitute the entire contract between Navitas and Buyer. In case of any conflict between these Terms and the terms of a Purchase Order, these Terms prevail except where Navitas has expressly accepted the conflicting term from the Purchase Order in its SOA. Absent such express written acceptance, any such conflicting or additional terms proposed by Buyer are expressly rejected by Navitas. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, Navitas must specifically agree to any addition or change to the Sales Agreement in a non-electronic writing signed by a duly authorized representative of Navitas before becoming binding on Navitas.
2. Price
Prices shown on the Purchase Order are in US dollars, unless otherwise specified, and are exclusive of any other amounts including without limitation fees for export, special packaging, freight, insurance, and similar charges. Prices are subject to change by Navitas upon Buyer rescheduling or reconfiguring orders. Prices are also subject to change in response to supplier price increases. In addition to the price of the Products as set forth in the Purchase Order, Buyer agrees to pay to Navitas sales, use, excise, or similar taxes applicable to the sale of the Products and such other costs and expenses described in these Terms. Unless Buyer provides Seller with a resale exemption certificate, Buyer shall pay any sales or use taxes levied on the Products as reflected on Seller’s invoice for the applicable Products.
3. Payment
Buyer must make payment to Navitas within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Products or the date of the invoice for the Products, whichever is sooner. All delivery quantities and charges set forth on any invoice will be deemed correct unless Navitas receives from Buyer, no later than five (5) calendar days after the date of delivery, a written notice specifying the delivery date, the Purchase Order number, and the exact nature of the incorrect matter. Payments not received by Navitas when due may, at Navitas sole discretion, bear interest at the lower of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Buyer agrees that outstanding balances remaining more than thirty (30) calendar days following the due date shall give rise to a material breach of this Sales Agreement by Buyer, justifying immediate termination of this Sales Agreement by Navitas and Navitas withholding further delivery of Products to Buyer (including those previously ordered by but not yet delivered to Buyer). Buyer also agrees to pay or reimburse all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Navitas in collecting any amounts due under this Sales Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the collection. [Where permitted by law, Navitas retains a security interest in Products sold until full payment is received. Navitas may, at Buyer’s expense, retake possession of the Products for which Buyer has not timely paid Navitas. For that purpose, Buyer grants Navitas, or any party representing or elected by Navitas, an irrevocable license to enter the premises where the Products then are, and, at Navitas option in so doing, act in the name of Buyer. With respect to Products for which Buyer has not paid Navitas, Buyer shall keep such Products stored in such a manner which enables them to be identified as the Products subject to such security interest and, wherever required by Navitas, identify the Products to Navitas.] Navitas reserves the right to limit or cancel the credit of Buyer, and Navitas may require or demand advance payment and/or adequate assurances of performance from Buyer prior to taking any preparatory steps for performing under the Sales Agreement or beginning the manufacture of the Products. Navitas will not schedule Products for manufacture with payment terms of “Cash in Advance” until paid in full by Buyer. Navitas may impose order limits on Buyer if payment terms are “Cash on Delivery.” If Buyer becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, or fails to pay Navitas invoices as they become due, Navitas reserves the right to: (a) delay or cancel a Purchase Order not yet fulfilled and receive full reimbursement for its cancellation damages pursuant to Paragraph 12 below; (b) modify terms prior to shipment; (c) require “Cash in Advance” terms; or (d) delay or cancel any shipment. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Navitas, whether relating to Navitas breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.
4. Standard Specifications
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Navitas and Buyer, Navitas will manufacture all of the Products in accordance with its own specifications (“Standard Specifications”), as existing in published data sheets at the time of the SOA. Except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Navitas, Navitas reserves the right to change at any time the specifications of any product manufactured by Navitas (including all statements and data appearing in Navitas catalogs, data sheets, and advertisement) without notice.
5. Packaging
Packaging shall be Navitas standard shipping materials or as otherwise specified in a Purchase Order. Navitas will endeavor to comply with Buyer’s packaging specifications, if any, but Navitas reserves the right to substitute any other methods of packaging that are reasonably comparable to the specifications furnished by Buyer. Any additional cost of non-standard packaging and handling requested by the Buyer shall be abided by Navitas, provided the Buyer has given precise written instructions with reasonable prior notice, and that Buyer has confirmed via written agreement that any corresponding additional costs shall be paid by the Buyer.
6. Delivery
All Products will be deemed accepted upon delivery. Navitas will deliver the Products EX Works Navitas facility (“EXW”; as defined and governed by Incoterms 2010), pursuant to applicable freight classifications. Products shall be marked for shipment to the destination specified in the Purchase Order that has been acknowledged by Navitas and shall be made available for pickup at Navitas designated shipping location. Buyer must pay all transportation costs, freight charges, insurance, and other shipping expenses of the Products. Transportation costs, freight charges, insurance, and other shipping expenses itemized in advance of actual shipment, if any, are estimates only that are calculated on the basis of standard tariffs and may not reflect actual costs. Buyer must pay actual total costs of all shipments. Navitas may make partial shipments at Navitas sole discretion, and Buyer may not reject partial shipments. Any delay in delivery of any installment will not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept the remaining deliveries. If Buyer refuses to accept tender or delivery of any of the Products with due or past due required shipping dates, such Products will be held by Navitas awaiting Buyer’s instruction for twenty (20) days, after which Navitas may deem the Products abandoned and dispose of them as it sees fit, without crediting Buyer’s account. A delivery date indicated in a SOA is estimated but is not guaranteed, and is not binding on Navitas. Navitas will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the delivery date specified by Buyer in the Purchase Order. If Navitas is unable to meet that date, Buyer has no claim for damages resulting from any such delay in delivery. Buyer acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing, the following events may cause Navitas failure to perform any of Navitas obligations under the Sales Agreement (collectively, the events are “Delaying Events” and each event is a “Delaying Event”): (a) any cause beyond Navitas reasonable control, including, but not limited to, a labor dispute, industry disturbance, fires, unusually severe weather conditions, earthquakes, floods, declared or undeclared war, epidemics, computer malfunctions, civil unrest, riots, lack of supplies, delay in transportation, governmental, regulatory or legal action, or act of God; or (b) by acts or omissions of Buyer, including, but not limited to, Buyer’s failure to promptly comply with the terms of payment under the Sales Agreement. Any date of delivery may be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of any Delaying Event. Navitas reserves the right to cancel without liability any Purchase Order, the shipment of which is or may be delayed for more than thirty (30) days by reason of any Delaying Event. Navitas reserves the right to allocate in its sole discretion among customers or potential customers, or defer or delay the shipment of, any of the Products, which is in short supply.
7. Title and Risk of Loss
Title to the Products and all risk of loss to the Products pass to Buyer upon the EXW delivery of the Products by Navitas. Buyer must obtain adequate insurance to cover the Products from the time risk of loss has passed from Navitas. Any special tools, dies or fixtures which are used by Navitas to develop or manufacture any of the Products shall become and remain Navitas property unless otherwise agreed in Non-Recurring Engineering (“NRE”) contract.
8. Limited Warranty
Subject to Sections 9-11 below, Navitas warrants that, for the applicable warranty period, the Products will operate in conformity with the warranted specifications set forth in the applicable Navitas data sheet in effect on the delivery date. Data sheets are available at https://navitassemi.com/download/ .

9. Navitas Obligations
If a Product fails to conform to the applicable warranty, Navitas will at its option and expense replace the Product or credit Buyer’s account with the price paid for the Product, provided that (a) Buyer provides a written warranty claim to Navitas, including a detailed explanation of the claimed nonconformity, within 30 days after discovering the claimed nonconformity and in any event within the applicable warranty period; (b) Buyer obtains a return material authorization number and promptly returns the Product to the location designated by Navitas, at Buyer’s expense subject to reimbursement if Navitas determines the Product is within the scope of the warranty; and (c) Navitas is reasonably satisfied that the nonconformity exists and is not attributable to factor(s) set forth in Section 10, and the claim otherwise complies with the terms of this warranty.
10. Warranty Limitations and Conditions
Navitas’ warranty does not apply to Products purchased through unauthorized sales channels or to the extent a nonconformity arises from one or more of the following: incompatibility with third-party components not authorized by Navitas; product design, specifications or instructions provided by Buyer, or improper Buyer system design; improper handling or storage after delivery; Product misuse or neglect; improper testing, installation, operation, maintenance, repair or alteration; accident; or if the nonconformity should have been discovered upon reasonable inspection by Buyer and is not reported to Navitas within 10 days after the delivery date. Navitas’ warranty applies only to Products and will not be expanded or otherwise altered if Navitas provides Buyer with technical, applications, or design advice, data or information (including reference designs), quality characterization, reliability data, or other services. No additional obligations or liabilities arise from Navitas providing such services or items, whether in connection with Product evaluation, implementation, purchase or otherwise. Navitas will have a reasonable time period to evaluate warranty claims and, if applicable, to replace affected Products or credit Buyer’s account. Replaced products will be subject to the applicable warranty for the longer of the remaining original warranty period or 30 days. Nonconforming Products become Navitas property when they have been replaced or a credit is issued.
