TERMS
AND CONDITIONS : All Sales transactions will be subject to the following
terms and conditions
1. PRICE.
Buyer shall pay the price in effect at time of delivery, together with
transportation costs and applicable taxes. Many manufacturers now add
surcharges on their invoice. These will be added to buyers invoice in
addition to prices quoted. Prices quoted include discount for cash. In
addition to the discount for cash a prompt payment discount for Wayne
and Gasboy dispensers is included in the quoted price. The full price
for dispensers must be paid within 30 days from date of invoice. Otherwise
add 2.5% to the quoted price.
2. PAYMENT. Terms for creditworthy open accounts are net thirty (30) days
from date of invoice. No further allowance for mail/delivery time is offered.
Amounts in excess of account credit limit are due upon presentation. Late
charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month is charged only upon
the past due amount. Buyer agrees such a charge is reasonable because
of the anticipated or actual harm caused by the delinquency of the buyer,
the difficulties of proof of loss, and the inconvenience or non-feasibility
of Seller otherwise obtaining a remedy. The charge is not, however, an
agreement, express or implied, to grant more time for payment. Some forms
of payment may require additional fees or surcharges. Those may include
but are not limited to wire transfers, credit cards, and checks made on
non-standard accounts. Cashiers checks must be cleared (paid by the bank)
before goods can be released. Deposits are required for all non-stock
or special order goods. In addition to late charges Seller may charge,
and Buyer agrees to pay, for storage of customer/non-stock goods held
for more than 30 days from date of invoice. Once invoicing has occurred
the goods are property of the Buyer even if Seller continues to store
goods in Sellers warehouse. No retainers are agreed or allowed.
3. DELIVERY. Seller shall, at its option, deliver the goods either F.O.B.
manufacturer’s plant or F.O.B. Seller’s plant. Seller shall,
at its option, deliver all of the goods at one time or in portions from
time to time. Delivery dates are approximate, subject to normal variations
customary in the industry and unforeseen delays. In no event shall Seller
be liable for any damages to Buyer arising out of any delay or lateness
in shipment. Seller will use its best efforts to effect timely delivery.
4. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS. Full risk of loss and title passes to the Buyer
upon delivery of the goods to a carrier at the F.O.B. point. This risk
of loss provision shall govern even if: (i) Seller has made a nonconforming
tender; (ii) Buyer has revoked acceptance of the goods; or (iii) Buyer
has repudiated this Agreement after the goods have been identified to
this Agreement. Buyer grants Seller a security interest in the goods to
secure payment in full. Upon Buyer’s default in payment, Seller
may, at its option, enter the property where any goods are located and
repossess the goods, with or without judicial process. Additionally, Seller
may pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity.
5. RETURN. Goods may be returned only with the prior written approval
of Seller. Returned goods must be referenced to Seller’s invoice
number and must be sent freight prepaid to the location directed by Seller.
Seller may collect a reasonable handling charge. Custom made and/or built-to-order
products are not normally returnable after the order has been placed.
Some manufacturers offer a return privilege upon payment of restock charges.
Seller will implement all available returns.
6. LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. The sole warranty applicable to the goods
is that of the manufacturer. All warranty claims must be made within the
manufacturer’s warranty period. Seller makes no warranties, express
or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose. Any description of the goods contained
in the Agreement or on any invoice is for the sole purpose of identifying
the goods, is not part of the basis of the bargain, and does not constitute
a warranty that the goods will conform to that description. The use of
any sample or model in connection with this Agreement is for illustrative
purposes only, is not part of the basis of the bargain, and is not to
be construed as a warranty that the goods will conform to the sample or
model. No employee, agent or representative of Seller has any authority
to bind Seller to any affirmation, representation or warranty concerning
any goods or to assume for Seller any other liability in connection with
any goods, except in writing, specifically included within this Agreement,
and signed by an officer of Seller. Buyer shall hold for examination by
Seller any goods claimed to be defective. In the event Buyer’s claim
is substantiated by Seller’s examination, Seller shall, at its option,
repair or replace the defective goods or credit an equitable portion of
the purchase price against future purchases. It is expressly agreed that
this Section 6 states Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any
breach of warranty. Buyer agrees that no other remedy (including, without
limitation, incidental or consequential damages) shall be available. This
Section 6 allocates the risk of the failure of goods between Seller and
Buyer as authorized by applicable law.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES. It is expressly agreed that Seller
shall not be responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, special
or consequential damages whatsoever arising from breach of warranty, breach
of contract, negligence, strict liability or any other legal theory. Such
damages include, without limitation, loss of profits or revenue, cost
of capital, loss of use of any equipment, or claims of customers of Buyer
for such damages.
8. FORCE MAJEURE. Seller shall be excused for any non-delivery or default
in performance in whole or in part due to acts of God, war, riot, terrorism,
embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fires, floods, accidents,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, differences with workmen, delays in
transportation, shortage of fuel, labor or materials, or any circumstantial
cause beyond the control of Seller in the reasonable conduct of business.
9. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. Seller makes no representation that the goods
comply with any present or future federal, state or local regulation or
ordinance. Compliance is Buyer’s responsibility.
10. COLLECTION COSTS. In the event Buyer defaults in the terms of payment,
Seller may recover from Buyer all costs, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs including experts’ fees,
whether or not such collection includes the commencement of a lawsuit.
11. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Seller’s acceptance of orders is expressly
conditioned upon the terms and conditions herein which shall prevail notwithstanding
any variance with the terms and conditions of any order submitted by Buyer.
In the event buyer issues a purchase order with terms and/or conditions
different than offered, the Seller may void the quotation and/or issue
a re-quote. If the Seller, solely at the Seller’s discretion, chooses
to accept the purchase order any terms and conditions which differ from
those offered will resolve in favor of those offered by the Seller and
new or additional terms and conditions in the purchase order will be void
unless agreed to in writing by the Seller. No verbal instructions, promises,
agreements, utterances, etc. are binding upon Seller.
12. LAW. California law governs this transaction.
13. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the final expression
of the agreement of the parties with respect to the goods covered by this
Agreement, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements among them
concerning such goods, constitutes a complete and exclusive statement
of the terms of this Agreement, and cannot be modified in any way, except
in writing and signed by an officer of the Seller and an authorized representative
of the Buying entity. From time to time these Terms and Conditions may
be changed by Seller. Buyer agrees to Terms and Conditions in effect at
the time of order acceptance.
14. WAIVER. Waiver by Seller of a breach of any of the terms and conditions
set forth above or on the reverse side shall not be construed as a waiver
of any other subsequent breach.
