Terms & Conditions

DEFINITIONS:

“Buyer” means the entity to which Seller is providing Products or Services under the Contract.

“Contract” means either the contract agreement signed by both parties, or the purchase order signed by Buyer and accepted by Seller in writing, for the sale of Products or Services, together with these Terms and Conditions, Seller’s final quotation, the agreed scope(s) of work, and Seller’s order acknowledgement. In the event of any conflict, the Terms and Conditions contained herein shall take precedence over other documents included in the Contract.  “Contract Price” means the agreed price stated in the Contract for the sale of Products and Services, including adjustments (if any) in accordance with the Contract.  “Products” means the equipment, parts, materials, supplies, and other goods Seller has agreed to supply to Buyer under the Contract.  “Seller” means the entity providing Products or performing Services under the Contract.  “Services” means the services Seller has agreed to perform for Buyer under the Contract.  “Terms and Conditions” means these “General Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Products or Services”, together with any modifications or additional provisions specifically stated in Seller’s final quotation or specifically agreed upon by Seller in writing.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS.   All sales are subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and no other terms and conditions apply unless agreed upon in writing and signed by a corporate officer of the Seller.  Accordingly, each request for quote, order, acceptance of Goods and/or Services by Buyer shall be deemed an acknowledgment and acceptance by Buyer of these Terms and Conditions.  Terms and Conditions, as may be subsequently modified by Seller from time to time without notice, are incorporated by reference into all documents issued by Seller to Buyer in connection with the sale and/or provision of Goods and/or Services; provided, however, that these Terms and Conditions shall only apply to the sale of Goods and/or Services by Seller in or to locations within the United States.

 

PRICES. Prices are quoted based on current material costs and may be subject to change to reflect any price increases which may occur prior to shipment. The Seller may upon prior notice to Buyer assess a surcharge on the sale of any Goods or Services to pass along any price increase in Seller’s cost of the subject Goods or Services or surcharge imposed on Seller by its supplier(s). Unless otherwise stated, the quotation will specify the term length in days that the proposal is valid for and may be modified or withdrawn by the Seller prior to acceptance. The delivery of the project must ship within 6 months from the date of order, unless other arrangement is agreed upon, otherwise the job or project may be subject to price change.

 

LEAD-TIMES and DELAYS:  Lead-time may be subject to change from the original estimated date, due to delay in acceptance of the quotation in a timely manner. Unless specifically agreed to by Seller in a separate document signed by authorized signatories, Seller does not guarantee any certain date of delivery and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any losses, costs, damages, charges or expenses incurred by Buyer or any other person or entity arising directly or indirectly out of a failure to deliver on any particular date, nor will any delay entitle Buyer to terminate or rescind its purchase unless such delay exceeds sixty (60) days.  Under no circumstances will the Seller be liable for any loss or damages of any kind in the event it is unable to comply with the Buyer’s request for delivery at a specified time. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the buyer will not make any claim against the Seller for any loss or damages incurred as a result of early or late delivery.

 

CREDIT APPROVAL.  The performance of any work and all shipments shall be subject to the approval of Seller’s Credit Department.  Seller, in its sole discretion, may at any time and for any reason, decline to perform any work or ship any shipment, prior to the receipt of payment or adequate assurance of payment.  New clients may be subject to down payment and/or payment in full prior to shipment. Terms of payment are predicated on approval using data from accredited reporting agencies and or submitted by Buyers clientele.   

 

PAYMENTS and PAYMENT TERMS: Standard payment methods are by check, account, or cash.  If payment involves the processing of a credit card, all such payments will be subject to a convenience fee of 3.5%. Unless expressly agreed upon by Buyer and Seller in a separate document signed by authorized signatories, Standard Terms are “Net (30) Thirty Days“.  Seller shall have the right to make delivery in installments. Based on project type it may require progression billing, all installments are separately invoiced and paid without regard to subsequent deliveries.  Failure of Buyer to make any payment when it is due shall excuse Seller from making further deliveries until payment(s) are made and processed through the accounting department.  Delay in payment of any installment shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining installments.  No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Seller has received cleared funds. Any discount(s) that may be applied to any order, goods or services rendered, may be withdrawn if payment of invoices to Seller are past due. Freight charges, surcharges and other special charges of any nature are not subject to any discounts.  If payments are not made when due, Buyer agrees to pay a service charge in the amount of past due invoice(s) at the rate of 1.8% per month or the maximum allowed by law.  

TAXES, DUTIES, AND OTHER FEES: In addition to the agreed purchase price for Goods or Services, Buyer shall pay to Seller any and all applicable taxes on the sale, manufacture, delivery, use and/or other handling of Goods or Services, whether such taxes are characterized as goods and services tax, sales tax, use tax, excise tax, value added tax, business transfer tax or otherwise (collectively, “Taxes”).

 

HOLD: Jobs or projects that are placed on hold for over 30 days may be billed to the current state of the project hours, material etc.

 

FREIGHT CHARGES: If the agreed purchase price for Goods and/or Services was based on freight being allowed to destination (whether such freight charges were agreed to be included in the purchase price or to be charged as a separate line item), any change in applicable freight rates, including, but not limited to, any applicable fuel surcharges assessed by Seller with or without prior notice, passed along by Seller to Buyer from a third party carrier between the date of quotation and/or acceptance of purchase order and the time of shipment will result in a corresponding change in price.

 

LIMITATIONS of LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS: IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE THEREOF, EXTEND BEYOND REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF GOODS OR SERVICES OR GIVING BUYER CREDIT FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE OF GOODS OR SERVICES SOLD OR PROVIDED, EITHER AT SELLER’S ELECTION, NOR SHALL SELLER HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF TIME, COST OF LABOR, OR FOR ANY SEPARATE, SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM REJECTION OF FINISHED PARTS BY BUYER OR BUYER’S CUSTOMER(S).

BUYER CANCELLATION: Orders may not be cancelled by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will at times be conditioned on Buyer’s agreement to pay Seller’s cancellation charge. For a finished Product that, in Seller’s judgment, is readily resalable to others, the cancellation charge may not apply to the invoice price of the Product but may be subject to processing fees. For all other cancellations, the cancellation charge shall amount to all cost and expenses incurred by Seller and arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s purchase order plus 15% in profit. 

 

SELLER'S LIEN: Until the unpaid contract price and any other amounts payable by Buyer to Seller under the agreement are paid in full, Seller shall have a right to lien on the Goods for the unpaid amounts. Buyer grants to Seller a security interest in the Goods to secure payment of such amounts.
