Purchase Orders And Payment Terms
INTRODUCTION
A purchase order is an official and binding document issued to a
vendor authorizing the expenditure of funds for goods and services. A
purchase order creates an "encumbrance" or "lien" dedicating funds at
the time the purchase order is originated by the purchasing
department. By using a purchase order, everyone involved in the
purchase process can track the order by referring to the unique
purchase order number as a standard reference.
Please direct purchase order questions to +1-310-448-8212, or send
e-mail to mosis-po@mosis.com.

BLANKET PURCHASE ORDERS
If you plan to fabricate a series of projects over time, you may wish
to set up a blanket purchase order that will authorize you to spend up
to a specified dollar amount during a specified period of time. This
will save time by eliminating the requirement for you to request a
separate purchase order for each project to be fabricated. MOSIS will
only invoice you for projects ordered and shipped.
Blanket purchase order don't need to include any specific information
about future orders, and they can be set up for any dollar amount you
wish (typically the blanket PO will say "not to exceed" a specified
dollar amount).
If you set up a blanket purchase order, and never place any actual
orders, you will never receive an invoice from MOSIS, and the purchase
order will expire with no charges placed against it. MOSIS will only
charge you for items you order and receive.
SHIPPING
Orders will be shipped to the exact address listed on the purchase
order, and orders are normally shipped via 2-day service.
All prices include shipping costs. You only need to include a line
item for shipping if you wish to pay an extra charge to expedite
shipping.
SALES TAX
As required by state law, MOSIS collects sales tax from our customers
for orders shipped within the state of California. However, no taxes
will be collected if a customer is a reseller and provides MOSIS with
a valid California Resale Permit.
MOSIS is required by state law to collect sales tax from companies
incorporated elsewhere when their projects are delivered to an address
in California, held for pick up at a California address, drop shipped
to an address in California, or held as "will call" at MOSIS.
PAYMENT TERMS
Terms and conditions for all orders are defined in the MOSIS Customer
Agreement.
All purchase orders for projects on MOSIS scheduled
fabrication runs will be invoiced for a data preparation
processing fee and phototooling charges for IC fabrication.
The balance will be invoiced when fabricated parts are shipped
to the customer. Terms are net 30 days from the invoice date.
First payment must be received before MOSIS can ship the
parts.
All purchase orders for projects on MOSIS scheduled fabrication runs
will be invoiced as follows:
-
AGL_AMOS14TB, AMIS_ABN, AMIS_C5F, AUSTRIAMICROSYSTEMS_BYR,
AUSTRIAMICROSYSTEMS_CZ, AUSTRIAMICROSYSTEMS_C35, TSMC_035

Projects will not be shipped to customers until past due invoices have
been paid, and access to vendor documentation bound under the MOSIS
customer agreement will be blocked until the account is in good
standing.
In order to cover the cost of carrying unpaid balances, a 10 percent
penalty will be assessed on all invoiced items for which payment has
not been received after 45 days from the invoice date.
Dedicated runs will be invoiced for the full mask cost at the time
fabrication begins. Accounts delinquent at the time wafers are
delivered to MOSIS will not receive the wafers until payment for masks
is received. Wafer costs will be invoiced at the time the wafers are
shipped. Standard terms are net 30.

EXPEDITING YOUR ORDER
If you wish to pay additional money to expedite your order, there
are two possibilities:
A. Paying extra for overnight delivery:
-
Domestic commercial customers may arrange to have their parts shipped
next day delivery rather than standard 2-day delivery. Send a SPECIAL
HANDLING request for "overnight shipping" and include your Federal
Express number as a line item in your purchase order, not in the
SPECIAL HANDLING request.
This service is not available to MEP accounts nor to export customers.
All export package shipments are sent "International Priority."
Duties and taxes are not included, and export customers should
anticipate additional time for clearing customs.
B. Paying extra to expedite wafer fabrication:
-
This option is only available if it's offered by the fabricator, and
it is typically very expensive (thousands of dollars). If you wish to
find out if this option is available for a particular run on the MOSIS
fabrication schedule, send e-mail to
support@mosis.com
