Any additional or different terms or conditions proposed by Customer are objected to and will not be binding upon, nor have any force or effect on COMPANY, unless specifically accepted in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the COMPANY.
TERMS OF ACCEPTANCE: COMPANY’s acceptance of Customer’s order or offer is expressly made conditional on Customer’s assent to the additional or different terms and conditions of this Agreement, which supersede any and all terms and conditions contained in any purchase order or other instrument tendered by Customer. This Agreement shall become a binding contract either when acknowledged, signed and delivered by Customer to COMPANY, or at COMPANY’s option, when Customer shall have given to COMPANY specifications, delivery dates, shipping instructions or instructions to bill and hold as to all or any part of the Products therein described, or when Customer has received delivery of the whole or any part thereof, or when Customer has assented to this Agreement or taken such other action which recognizes the existence of a contract.
TAXES: COMPANY shall not be liable for any tax, excise or other governmental charge imposed upon the sale, transportation or any use of any Products sold hereunder and any such charges shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of Customer. If Customer is tax-exempt, Customer shall provide COMPANY with evidence of such status.
PRICING: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any sales or purchase orders, quotations, instruments or agreements tendered by Customer, the price to be paid for any and all Products provided by COMPANY to Customer shall be the COMPANY’s list price in effect as of the date of delivery of the Products to the Customer, and not the list price at the time the purchase order is tendered by the Customer.
CREDIT: If the financial responsibility of Customer becomes impaired or unsatisfactory to COMPANY, advance cash payment or satisfactory security shall be given by Customer upon demand by COMPANY, and shipments of Products and provision of services may be withheld until such payment or security is received.
COMPANY’S RIGHT TO REJECT, RESCIND OR CANCEL: COMPANY shall have the right to rescind all or part of any quotation, offer, order, instrument or this Agreement if: (a) Customer breaches or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including failure to timely pay for any Products delivered hereunder or pursuant to any other Agreement between COMPANY and Customer; (b) Customer becomes insolvent; (c) proceedings are instituted by or against Customer under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws; or (d) Customer ceases operations.
CUSTOMER’S CANCELLATION: COMPANY reserves the right to charge back to the Customer all costs incurred from either cancellation or any changes on the order plus a restocking fee of 15% of order value.

PAYMENT TERMS: Customer agrees to make payments on the terms set forth in the sales quote and agrees to pay the amount set forth on all invoices issued by COMPANY. In addition to the purchase price, Customer shall assume and pay all taxes, however designated, levied or based on such price of the Products or on this Agreement, including, but not limited to, state and local sales, use, privilege or excise taxes based on gross revenue, and any taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or payable by COMPANY in respect of the foregoing, exclusive, however, of taxes on net income. Unpaid delinquent balances will be assessed a late fee charge equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, and will continue to accrue each month on unpaid balances until paid in full. Customer shall have no right of deduction or set off against sums due COMPANY for Products which have either been delivered or which COMPANY has undertaken to deliver.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS: Unless otherwise set forth in writing in the sales quote, upon delivery of the Products and COMPANY’s receipt of acknowledgment of acceptance of the Products signed by Customer, title to the Products transfers to Customer. Customer assumes all risk and liability for loss, damage or injury to the person or property of Customer or other arising out of use or possession of any Products sold hereunder. COMPANY retains a security interest in all Products delivered hereunder until COMPANY receives payment in full for all outstanding invoices issued to Customer. COMPANY’s remedies for non-payment of its invoice shall include, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, the right to repossess any Products in the possession of Customer. Customer shall surrender such Products upon demand to COMPANY or COMPANY’s agent. If any Products sold hereunder are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part, for any reason, while in the possession of or being used by Customer or any carrier, and before payment in full therefore, and COMPANY suffers any loss by virtue thereof, then Customer agrees to indemnify and hold COMPANY harmless for any such loss. If any such loss is covered by insurance to which Customer is a beneficiary and/or by recourse by Customer against any other party, then any such claim and any proceeds payable respect thereof shall automatically vest in COMPANY.
INSPECTION: Customer shall make any and all examinations and inspections regarding the quality of any Products delivered hereunder immediately upon receipt by Customer, and failure of Customer to give notice of any claim within ten (10) days after the receipt of such Products shall be an unqualified acceptance of said Products and a waiver by Customer of any and all claims with respect to such Products. If notice of a claim is provided to COMPANY within such ten (10) day period, Customer’s remedies for defective or nonconforming Products shall be limited solely to replacement of such defective or nonconforming Products or, at the election of COMPANY, to return of the Products and repayment of the price.
