The Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable to orders accepted by Samtec Europe GmbH are available for review.
[H5] 1. Controlling Provisions
The terms and conditions in this agreement (“Agreement”) shall supersede any and all provisions, terms and conditions contained in or on any RFQ, purchase order, confirmation order, or other correspondence or documents ("Buyer's Documents") of the party submitting an order or request for quotation ("Buyer"), and Samtec, Inc. ("Seller") expressly rejects any such terms of Buyer. The rights of the parties shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable at the time of Seller's acceptance of Buyer's purchase order. The terms of this Agreement may not be modified except in a writing signed by both Buyer and Seller. Seller makes no representations or warranties covering this order except as expressly contained herein.
Seller manufactures catalog products (“Products”) built to Seller's standards and requirements. A customer's specific requirements and standards shall not be applicable unless they are added into and fully represented in Seller's drawings by agreement of Seller. Notes in Buyer's Documents stating or requesting anything to the contrary of what is identified in Seller's drawings are nullified.
[H5] 2. Freight and Delivery
Prices are based on freight terms Ex Works (EXW) Seller's named manufacturing facility per Incoterms 2010. Delivery of Products to the common carrier or licensed trucker shall constitute delivery to Buyer. Title and risk of loss or damage in transit shall transfer to Buyer upon delivery. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the cost of shipping will be prepaid and added to the invoice.
[H5] 3. Price Changes
Prices are based on the total release quantity used for the Quote. All prices are subject to adjustment by Seller on July 1st and January 1st each year, or at any other time upon notice (“Price Adjustment Dates”). All open backlog and unshipped orders that are not scheduled to ship within ninety (90) days beyond the Price Adjustment Date (and within normal lead times) shall be adjusted to the new Price automatically. Delays solely caused by the Seller shall not affect Buyer's pricing. This section does not apply in the event that the Quote contains different pricing terms.
[H5] 4. Order Cancellations, Pushouts, and Returns
Order cancellation and reschedule requests must be submitted in writing and approved by Seller. Seller may consider several factors in reviewing such requests, including, but not limited to, whether (i) production has already commenced; (ii) custom materials are used in production which cannot be used for other open orders; and (iii) standard materials have been purchased by Seller in volumes that exceed what is able to be applied to other open orders.

Claims related to shortages, delays, or failures in shipment or delivery, or for any other cause other than as provided in the Express Limited Product Warranty set forth below shall be deemed waived and released by Buyer unless submitted to Seller in writing within twenty-one (21) days after the delivery of the Product.
[H5] 5. Tariff Surcharges
Tariff surcharges will be added on invoices, as a separate line charge, at the time of shipment. Tariff surcharges will be equal to 85% of the applicable tariff rate by Country of Origin applied to the invoice line value. Tariff surcharge rates are subject to change without notice.
[H5] 6. Payment Terms and Credit
Invoice payment terms shall be net 30 days from the date of the invoice. All amounts due shall be paid in U.S. dollars unless otherwise agreed by Seller. Seller shall have the continuing right to approve Buyer's credit and payment terms and may, at any time, demand advance payment or satisfactory security, such as, but not limited to, a confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit (in a form acceptable to Seller) or a written guarantee of prompt payment. Seller reserves the right at any time to revoke any credit extended to Buyer.
To comply with applicable international trade and finance compliance requirements, Samtec will only accept payment from the designated customer on an Order. In the event a customer wishes to utilize a third party to render such payment, the same must be:
A parent company, holding company, or subsidiary;
Identified by Customer to Samtec in advance of the Order; and
Verified by Samtec via its Denied Party Screening,
prior to acceptance of such payment in satisfaction of Customer's required financial obligation for such Order.

Seller shall have the right, in the event of any of the above contingencies, at its option, to cancel any purchase order or contract or any part thereof without any resulting liability.
[H5] 9. Partial Shipments
All shipments by Seller may be up to 10% over the exact quantity ordered by Buyer. Seller will not charge Buyer for such overage. Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments. All such installments shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Seller reserves the right to add freight costs to any invoice for partial shipments that are made pursuant to the request of Buyer to the extent not already covered in Seller's quotation.
Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept remaining deliveries.
[H5] 10. Privacy
Seller, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, collect and retain personal data relating to our customers. Seller is committed to being transparent about how we collect and use your data and also to meeting our data protection obligations. Personal data will be processed only as necessary for business related purposes and to address legal requirements.

Seller may request that Buyer return samples of alleged nonconforming Products in order to assist Seller in confirming such nonconformance as a condition of Seller's performance of its obligations under this limited warranty. The foregoing warranties shall not apply to any Products which fail as a result of (i) any modification made by Buyer or its customer, (ii) improper degree of care in handling or damage caused by anyone other than Seller, or (iii) use or installation in any manner or application not approved by Seller. In addition, in no event will Seller be responsible for any claims or costs related to labor, rework, transportation, or other expense incurred by Buyer without prior written approval from Seller.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Unclear / Mixed / Unclassifiable Industry BS: Samtec (samtec.com)
Samtec is a rare example of a site where the substance actually outweighs the signal. It is a technically rigorous platform built for engineers, prioritizing data and documentation over marketing fluff. The few points of BS detected come from minor technical SEO omissions and standard industry adjectives that are effectively neutralized by extreme technical specificity.
Implement Organization and Product JSON-LD schema to bridge the technical authority gap. Associate specific lead engineers or technical directors with the Signal Integrity and Interconnect Processing groups using Person schema. Reduce the frequency of the adjective industry-leading in H3 product blocks where the technical spec already proves leadership. Add case studies with named Tier-1 client success metrics to move from technical proof to social proof.
The site is an exact match for the electronic interconnect and manufacturing industry. The content is saturated with domain-specific technicalities, from RF cable assemblies to silicon-to-silicon signal integrity solutions, confirming a high-fidelity industry alignment.
“The score of 17 is driven primarily by technical authority gaps (missing schema) and minor industry jargon. The site scored perfectly (0) in semantic coherence because the internal alignment between promises and deliverables is absolute. This is a minimal BS site that relies on forensic technical evidence rather than marketing theater.”
This training module utilizes a snapshot of public data from Samtec, captured on June 19, 2026, to demonstrate how machine logic evaluates different types of business narratives.
Purpose: This data is presented under “Fair Use” / “Educational Exception” for the purpose of forensic semantic analysis, allowing users to compare human intuition against machine-generated evaluations.
