By accessing, visiting, browsing, using or interacting or attempting to interact with any part of the Site or any Software, program or Services on the Site you agree on your behalf personally, and on behalf of any entity for which you are an agent or you appear to represent, (collectively and individually “you,” “your,” or “user”) to each of the terms and conditions set forth herein (collectively the "Terms of Use"). For a disclosure regarding information collected and shared by Tech-Trek from your access and use of the Site, visit Tech-Trek’s Privacy Statement.

I. Website Terms of Use


1. Access to the Site. Registration is not required to place an order or to use the Site. Tech-Trek offers expanded Services via the Web through a name/password protected system, including without limitation, the Web Services Applications and the Services available through Project Sites. 


Your username and password are referred to as your "Identification." Your Identification must be accurate, current, and complete, and you may not provide false information to Tech-Trek or impersonate another individual or entity. You are solely responsible for keeping your Identification confidential. You agree that you and your authorized representatives will be the only users of your Identification, and that you will be solely responsible for all activities on the Site using your Identification. We strongly recommend that you log out of the Site and close your browser window when your session is completed to help prevent unauthorized persons from accessing your Identification. Tech-Trek will be entitled to monitor your Identification and, at its discretion, require you to change it. Please contact Tech-Trek immediately at internet.registration@Tech-Trek.cn if you believe that your Identification has been lost or stolen, or that someone may attempt to use your Identification without your consent. Please keep in mind that no Internet site is 100% secure. Thus, while Tech-Trek strives to protect the personal information and privacy of its users, your use of the Site to transmit or store personally identifiable information or other confidential or sensitive information is at your own risk.


2. Intellectual Property. The Services, the Site, and all information, Web Services Applications, Software, data, the Tech-Trek product database, printed and electronic documentation, content that you see, hear or otherwise experience on the Site, and all compilations thereof (the "Content") are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark and other laws, and belong to Tech-Trek or its partners, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, contributors, or third parties.


Subject to these Terms of Use, and with the exception of Software and Web Services Applications, Tech-Trek grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Site, the Services and the Content and to download, print and store portions of the Content. No right, title or interest in any accessed or downloaded Content or materials is transferred to you as a result of this license. Tech-Trek reserves all of its intellectual property rights in any Content you access or download from the Site, subject to this limited license as set forth herein.


Software that is made available to download from the Site, excluding software that may be made available by end-users through a Communication Service ("Software"), and the Web Services Applications are the copyrighted work of Tech-Trek and/or its suppliers or third parties, and may be further protected by patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights. Your use of the Software and Web Services Applications is governed by the terms of their respective end user license agreements, if any, which accompanies or is included with the Software and Web Services Applications ("License Agreement"). You may not install, access or use any Software, or access or use Web Services Applications that are accompanied by or includes a License Agreement unless you first agree to the License Agreement terms. For any Software or Web Services Applications that are not accompanied by a License Agreement, Tech-Trek hereby grants, to the extent Tech-Trek is authorized and legally able, to you, the user, a revocable, personal, non-transferable license to use the Software or the Web Services Application for viewing and otherwise using the Site in accordance with these Terms of Use, and for no other purpose. Any third party notices accompanying any Software or Web Services Applications are provided for informational purposes only.


No other rights or licenses whether express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied patent licenses, are granted by Tech-Trek. Any unauthorized reproduction or redistribution of the Software is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties.

You may not use any of the marks or logos appearing throughout the Site without express written consent from the trademark owner, except as permitted by applicable law.

You may not use any robot, scraper, spider, or other automated means to access or gather the Content from the Site, or mirror, co-brand, or frame the home page or any other pages of the Site on any other website or web page. For purposes of these Terms of Use, “co-branding” means to display a name, logo, trademark, or other means of attribution or identification of any party in such a manner as is reasonably likely to give a user the impression that such other party has the right to display, publish, or distribute the Site or its Content. Competitors and third party aggregators may not connect "deep links" to the Site, i.e., create links to this site that bypass the home page or other parts of the Site without the written permission of Tech-Trek.

4. Additional Disclaimers. Without limiting the disclaimers set forth in Section 3 above:


a. Applications Engineering. Tech-Trek offers its applications engineering solely as a convenience to Tech-Trek customers. Tech-Trek applications engineering personnel strive to provide useful information regarding the Products. Tech-Trek does not guarantee that any information or recommendation provided is accurate, complete, or correct, and Tech-Trek shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in connection with any information or recommendation provided, or your reliance on such information or recommendation. You are solely responsible for analyzing and determining the appropriateness of any information or recommendation provided by Tech-Trek applications engineering personnel, and any reliance on such information or recommendation is at your sole risk and discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Tech-Trek may discuss the same or similar topics discussed with you with other Tech-Trek customers and provide the same or similar information or recommendations to other Tech-Trek customers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any recommended substitutes or cross-references with respect to parts are simply recommendations, and Tech-Trek does not guarantee that such information or recommendations are accurate, complete or correct.


b. Correction of Errors and Inaccuracies. The Content may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current. Tech-Trek therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update the Content at any time without prior notice. Tech-Trek does not, however, guarantee that any errors, inaccuracies or omissions will be corrected and is not obligated to make such corrections.


c. Third Party Links and Promotions. Hypertext links to third party websites or information do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Tech-Trek of the third party, the third-party website, or the information contained therein, unless expressly stated on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that Tech-Trek is not responsible for the availability of any such websites and that Tech-Trek does not endorse or warrant, and is not responsible or liable for, any such website or the content thereon. You are solely responsible for making your own decisions regarding your interactions or communications with any other website.


Any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) included within or available via a link from the Site or participation in promotions, including the delivery of and the payment for goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and the advertiser or other third party. Tech-Trek is not responsible or liable for any part of any such dealings or promotions.


d. Geographic Limitations on Use. Like most Internet websites, this Site is accessible worldwide. However, not all Products or Services offered by Tech-Trek are available to all persons or in all geographic locations. Tech-Trek reserves the right to limit the provision of its Products and Services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction and to limit the quantities of any Products or Services that it provides. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and local rules regarding the transmission of technical data, acceptable content, and online conduct.


e. Color Display. Tech-Trek attempts to display as accurately as possible the colors of the Products shown on the Site. However, because the colors you see will depend on many factors, including your monitor or printer, Tech-Trek cannot guarantee that the color you see matches the Product color.


5. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL DIGI-KEY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (II) THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT, OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT, (II) ANY TRANSACTION OR COMMUNICATIONS CONDUCTED THROUGH OR FACILITATED BY THE SITE; (III) ANY CLAIM ATTRIBUTABLE TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE SITE, THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT, (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA, (V) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, OR (VI) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT; EVEN IF DIGI-KEY OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF DIGI-KEY AND ITS SUPPLIERS RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THE CONTENT EXCEED $100 OR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT ALLOWABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WHICHEVER IS GREATER, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ASSERTED FOR SUCH LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE.


IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SITE, THE SERVICES, THE CONTENT, OR WITH THE TERMS OF USE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SITE, THE SERVICES, AND/OR THE CONTENT.


Any cause of action against Tech-Trek or its suppliers with respect to the Site, the Services, or the Content must be instituted within one (1) year from the date on which the claim arose.


Some States, including New Jersey (as to consumers), may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages such as incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, but in any event shall apply to the maximum extent allowed by law.


See the Conditions of Order for all other Limitations of Liability information related to Products including Chip Outpost Products.

You agree that all such purchases are for commercial or other applications that do not require QPL components. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND DIGI-KEY AND THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCTS AGAINST ALL DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES THAT MAY BE INCURRED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS RELATING TO ANY LAWSUIT OR THREATENED LAWSUIT ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF PRODUCTS IN UNAUTHORIZED APPLICATIONS.


16. Product Warranty.


a. General Product Limited Warranty. ALL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD ON AN "AS-IS," "WHERE IS," AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS.

Exercising this Limited Warranty. As your exclusive remedy for any breach of this limited warranty, Tech-Trek shall promptly, at Tech-Trek's option, (i) replace any Chip Outpost Product that does not conform to this limited warranty or (ii) refund to you the purchase price of the defective Chip Outpost Product; provided, however, that these remedies are conditioned on your returning the Chip Outpost Product during the Chip Outpost Limited Warranty Period, or within ten (10) days thereafter, along with a written description of the claimed defect(s), in accordance with Tech-Trek's Return Policy (see Section 13 above).
Third Party Testing.

The conclusion of such independent third party shall be conclusive, final and binding on you and Tech-Trek.
c. Disclaimer of all other Warranties. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 16, (i) DIGI-KEY MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT, AND (ii) DIGI-KEY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE PRODUCTS.

d. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL DIGI-KEY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY PRODUCT, EVEN IF DIGI-KEY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF DIGI-KEY RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY PRODUCT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ASSERTED FOR SUCH LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE AMOUNTS PAYABLE FOR THE PRODUCTS ARE BASED IN PART ON THESE LIMITATIONS, AND YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.


Some States may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, but in any event shall apply to the maximum extent allowed by law.


17. Indemnification. You understand and agree that you are personally responsible for your use or inability to use the Products. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Tech-Trek and Tech-Trek's joint venturers, business partners, licensors, employees, officers, directors, owners, and agents from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidential, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary, and indirect damages), and reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of your use, misuse, or inability to use the Products, or any violation by you of these Conditions of Order.


18. Force Majeure. Tech-Trek will not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform its obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, product allocations, material shortages, labor disputes, transportation delays, unforeseen circumstances, acts of God, acts or omissions of other parties, acts or omissions of civil or military authorities, Government priorities, fires, strikes, floods, severe weather conditions, computer interruptions, terrorism, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, riots or war.

19. Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution; Limitation on Actions. The laws of the State of Minnesota shall apply to these Conditions of Order, without regard to any conflict of laws provisions. The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, and any implementations thereof in various jurisdictions and any subsequent revisions thereto, shall not apply to these Conditions of Order.

A single arbitrator shall preside over any arbitration, and such arbitrator shall, in his or her sole discretion, determine the arbitrability of any alleged Dispute. Any arbitration shall be conducted in Minneapolis, Minnesota. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Conditions of Order will be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Conditions of Order, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Judgment on an award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any state or federal court within or without the State of Minnesota. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of or addition to any other remedies available to Tech-Trek, Tech-Trek may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of Tech-Trek’s or any third party's intellectual property or proprietary rights. You hereby irrevocably consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the State and Federal courts of the State of Minnesota with respect to any such injunctive or other relief. You further acknowledge that Tech-Trek’s rights in its intellectual property are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving those rights peculiar value, the unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss of which cannot be readily estimated and may not be adequately compensated for in monetary damages. Any Dispute initiated by you must be instituted within one (1) year from the date of purchase or provision of the Product at issue except for a Dispute based on breach of warranty which must be instituted within ninety (90) days of the date Tech-Trek denies a warranty claim under Section 16 of these Conditions of Order.


20. General Provisions. These Conditions of Order constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver by Tech-Trek of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any part of the Conditions of Order are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator with jurisdiction over a Dispute to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of the Conditions of Order, all of which will remain in full force and effect, and such court or arbitrator shall have the authority, if possible, to revise any invalid or unenforceable provision to most accurately reflect the intent of the parties as shown by the original wording of that provision while rendering it valid and enforceable. No rights, duties, agreements or obligations hereunder, may be assigned or transferred by you by operation of law, merger or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Tech-Trek. These Conditions of Order and the subject matter that they cover, including without limitation the purchase of Products, do not create any joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and Tech-Trek or its suppliers.
