Purchase Order Terms and Conditions:

As of May 19, 2022, new or updated purchase orders will incorporate the Parker General Terms and Conditions and related documents as follows:

Existing purchase orders in place and which are not updated may remain on the previous Exotic Purchase Order Terms and Conditions. Additional and specific requirements are documented and communicated, as necessary, through purchase orders.

Supplier Delivery and Quality Performance:

Quality and delivery performance are vital to the success of Exotic and its customers. Exotics’ suppliers are required to maintain 95% Quality and On-Time Delivery over a rolling 12 month period. Ratings will be reported on a scorecard provided by Exotic monthly. Quality ratings include compliance to all specifications, drawings, and purchase order requirements, including complete paperwork and certifications. On-Time Delivery (%) ratings are measured against committed delivery dates on purchase orders. Exotic accepts shipments up to ten business days early.

Product verification may be delegated to suppliers that consistently demonstrate a high standard of quality. This delegation will be at the discretion of Exotic’s Quality Manager and is based on product complexity, quality performance, and any other relevant factors. If a supplier has been approved for product verifications, a formal letter will be issued by Exotic Quality Assurance and purchase orders will note this approved delegation. Delegated suppliers must maintain a quality rating of 98% and a blended rating of at least 95% over a rolling 6 month period.
