Generic Terms & Conditions:

1. All orders are FOB Sunnyvale, California, USA unless otherwise specified within the Quote. For deliveries outside USA, all Duties and Customs
are the responsibility of the customer, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
2. Prices are quoted in US Dollars; Taxes and Shipping Charges are extra as applicable.
3. This quote is only valid for 30 days unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by our representatives.
4. Payment terms are mentioned at the top of this Quote.
5. Prices shown on this document are based on information provided by customer’s Gerber files and associated instructional documents at date of
quotation/order. To facilitate quick-turns, customers sometime request us to release orders with a pending PO. Any changes requested to PCB
manufacture/assembly processes after placing order, or any new details that emerge in a pending PO, may result in additional charges.
6. The Turn Time shown is calculated using business days. Weekends and business holidays are excluded in any turn time calculations. Additional
turn days may be added to orders that are placed “On Hold,” waiting for customer response for resolution of missing information or discrepancies.
7. Your responsibility to help ensure delivery dates are not changed

When you place your order our engineering team will start working on it (mostly DFA/DFM checks), and identify any discrepancies or missing
information and will contact you by email/phone, likely using your 24 hour contact number. For many orders, such issues will also be posted on
your Customer Portal for you to respond online.
In order to ensure on time completion of your order, you must respond to such communication promptly, so that delivery date is not affected.
a) If your order is for a very fast turn (1 or 2 day turn time) and your responses are delayed by more than 1 hour, it might lead to a change in
delivery date.
b) If your order is for 3 days or more and your responses are delayed by more than 3 hours, it might lead to a change in delivery date.
PCB Fabrication Terms & Conditions:

1. Sale subject to limited warranty. Warranty extends only to bare PCBs and does not apply after components are added by you or others. Our
liability shall not exceed price paid by you for the ordered PCBs. No change or addition to these terms, or any additional or different terms on your
purchase order, shall be binding on us unless executed in writing by one of our officers.
2. If Sierra Circuits is assembling the boards then we will also warranty the Assembly Labor workmanship.
3. If IPC Netlist is not provided in 356 format, Sierra Circuits will create a net-list from the incoming customer Gerber files to generate an electrical
test program. In such cases, Sierra cannot guarantee, nor can it be liable for the electrical performance of the boards, since the test program itself
is derived from the files submitted.
4. If you send us your design files in multiple formats (say, Gerbers and ODB++) it is your responsibility to ensure that the design in both formats is
the same. We reserve the right to use any of the formats sent to us and will not cross-check between formats for consistency.
5. If you are ordering our “Web PCBs” product, the selection you made online, and the product you chose online, takes priority over your fab
drawing or readme notes. Example: Say you chose material FR4 online and your fab drawing calls for Rogers material, we will simply process your
order using FR4 material. The price quoted online is based on the specifications and product you chose online.
6. Manufacturing Optimizations: As with most other PCB manufacturers, we may make simple optimizations to your design to ensure boards are
manufactured correctly. Such changes do not affect the electrical functionality of your design. These may include:
A) Teardrops may be added to pad/trace interfaces to ensure better connectivity.
B) Slivers less than .005” may be filled in to prevent resist slivers on the panels.
C) Soldermask dams that are less than .004” wide between SMD pads which have a .003” minimum clearance may be gang relieved.
D) Silkscreen may be clipped to ensure it does not get on top of pads/copper features.
E) Non-functional pads may be removed from inner layers.
7. No change or addition to these terms above, or any additional or different terms on your purchase order, shall be binding on us unless executed
in writing by one of our officers.
PCB Assembly and Components Terms & Conditions

QUOTE
1. Quote is based on RFQ Data provided at the time of this quote and is subject to change if data has changed at the time of order. We do not
perform a full DFM analysis nor do we identify all the issues at the time of quoting. For turnkey quotes, the availability of components varies every
day; and we do not guarantee that all the components will be readily available at the time of order without any lead-time issues.

PAYMENT
1. Payments for all invoices will be as per terms mentioned in Quotes and Invoices. Customer shall not withhold payment against invoices already
raised for any reason whatsoever, like unsatisfactory workmanship, pending rework or non-functioning boards or for any other reason. (for
mitigation of these reasons, see Warranty and Limited Liability Clauses below). 2. If the payment for the Order is being done using a credit card
then, by providing us a credit card number, you are also authorizing us to charge the card as per our policies.

ORDER
1. Assembly Order Acceptance is not guaranteed until your account is found in good standing.
2. Order Cancellation will be subject to costs already incurred plus a minimum cancellation charge of $400.
3. Component shortages:
a) Consigned parts shortage: If regardless of shortage, customer has asked us to proceed to the assembly phase, and if customer does not
send the parts within 2 days of starting the order, then we will complete all assemblies with whatever components were consigned to us,
and all assemblies (including shortage assemblies) will be shipped and invoiced as per order, and the order would be deemed to be
completed. Later on, if the customer ships the shortage assemblies with the shortage parts to us for rework, such rework assembly
would be done by us either at no charge or at a suitable rework charge to be determined by us.
b) Turnkey parts shortage: where it is known that some parts cannot be quickly procured due to unavailability or long lead times or other
reasons, and customer specifically asks us to start the job nevertheless, such assemblies (including shortage assemblies) will be shipped
and invoiced as per order, and the order would be deemed to be completed. When we finally get the ordered long lead-time
components, customer may EITHER opt to get those parts shipped to them (in which case no additional rework is involved); OR customer
may send the shortage assemblies BACK to us for completion rework (Rework & Re-Shipping charges will apply).

4. Completeness of Assembly data: It is customer’s responsibility to provide complete and correct assembly data, BOM in excel spreadsheet,
Assembly Gerbers, assembly drawings, Special instructions if any, and XY Pick and Place Data for SMT parts. If customer is unable to provide
correct XY Data, additional charges will apply.
5. Turn Time: Assembly Turn Time will start when the kit is complete AND all assembly data related issues are resolved.
6. On-Time: We may make partial shipments for your order. You order will be considered shipped on-time if at least 90% of assemblies are shipped
by the due date
7. Order Completeness: Orders may be considered complete, if the quantity shipped is within +/- 5% of the original quantity. We will invoice you for
the boards shipped.

DFM & DFA

Once your order is received, it may go through a quick Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) analysis, to prevent any
holds during manufacturing and assembly. If we find any issues, these must be resolved promptly. We may use our Customer Portal to interact
with you on such issues and/or we will contact you by phone/email as needed.
We cannot start manufacturing/assembly if such issues are unresolved. An unreasonable delay in resolving issues may push out your delivery date
accordingly.

(Note: We only do a DFA on orders that include our Assembly services. An example of a DFA issue: The landing pads on your board don’t match
the footprint for component C12.)

WARRANTY
1. Assembly workmanship: All assembly workmanship will be as per IPC-A-610 unless otherwise directed in writing. All soldering will be using
standard Tin/Lead solder in case of standard solder process assembly OR ROHS compliant solder in case of ROHS assembly and water soluble
OA flux unless otherwise directed in writing.
2. ASSEMBLY WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY: We warrant each assembly for workmanship up to 30 days after shipment. In case of any
unsatisfactory assembly workmanship, we will repair the assembly free of charge OR credit the quoted cost of the assembly labor at our sole
discretion. Any modifications done to the assemblies by customer will nullify our warranties.
3. This warranty is also nullified on products which have been subject to misuse (including static discharge), neglect, accident or which have been
altered by you and are not capable of being tested.
4. LIMITED LIABILITY-I: We are not liable for rework, repair or replacement for any faulty components supplied to us by customer or purchased by
us from vendors in accordance with customer supplied BOMs.
5. LIMITED LIABILITY-II: We are neither responsible nor liable for assembled boards found non-functioning during testing by customer; we are only
responsible for assembly workmanship performed as per customer supplied data.
6. LIMITED LIABILITY-III: In no case shall our liability exceed the price charged to you for the job performed by us. We are not liable for any
assemblies beyond 30 days after shipment.
7. NO OTHER WARRANTY: We give no other warranty; either expressed or implied, and we specifically disclaim all other warranties, including
warranties for merchantability and fitness.
8. No change or addition to these terms above, or any additional or different terms on your purchase order, shall be binding on us unless executed
in writing by one of our officers.

SPECIAL NOTE about substituting un-available passive components:

There is occasionally a market shortage on passive components. Here are Sierra’s policies for substituting such passive components.

For non ITAR orders: In case of non-availability of specific passive components in your BOM, Sierra Circuits will use a direct replacement (Form,
Fit, and Function Alternate) which either matches or is better on tolerance & other specifications. This is a common practice in the Assembly
industry, and for all online orders we simply substitute the unavailable passives if needed.

For custom orders only: If you do not want such substitutions of passive components to be made without approval, you must explicitly say so in the
header section of your BOM and also on your PO. Furthermore, you must inform your sales person at the time of placing your custom order that
you want to approve every substitution.

For ITAR orders (whether online or custom): We will ALWAYS get customer approval before making ANY such substitutions.
