The Purchase Price quoted in the Sales Agreement does not include any tax or regulatory tax, permits, duties, fees, customs entry service charges, terminal service charges, or other charges due to the execution or as a result of this Agreement. These amounts and any amount that is not specifically of the responsibility of the Seller under the Sales Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
Unless otherwise agreed, no Equipment will be delivered until full payment of the purchase price, as well as any other expenses incurred by the Buyer, is received in the Seller's bank account indicated in the Sales Agreement or any other indicated by the Seller at the time and is accessible to the Seller without conditions.

The storage costs will be informed by the Seller to the Buyer before the 60 days after the Sales Agreement is signed. The storage cost will depend on the size and any additional specifications required by the equipment sold. The Buyer must pay the storage cost monthly to the Seller according to the instructions provided by the Seller for this purpose.
