These Conditions serve as Seller’s rejection of anything inconsistent with or additional thereto, which shall be inapplicable and of no effect unless expressly agreed to by Seller in another written document. Seller’s General Order Information, Quotation, Order Acknowledgement or Invoice with these Conditions, together with Buyer’s order, to the extent of inconsistent with these Conditions, constitute the modification, limitation, waiver, termination, rescission or discharge of the Agreement shall be effective unless in another written document sighed by both Buyer and Seller.
- ORDER CHANGES: A change from the original order after Seller’s Order Acknowledgement has been issued may require a revised price and shipping schedule in the event that Seller has expended manpower and/or secured product which is not suitable for use with the revised order, change order charges will be imposed.
- ORDER CANCELLATION POLICY: Accepted orders shall be subject to cancellation charges in the amount of Seller’s costs incurred, direct or indirect, prior to receipt of written notice of cancellation plus an additional charge representing liquidated damages of 15% of the total order price computed as of the date of cancellation. The additional charge of this cancellation provision shall not apply if the project for which buyer ordered the product has cancelled and buyer has no need for the product from any other supplier.

If Buyer is in default under this or any other agreement with Seller, then Seller upon written notice to the Buyer may suspend fabrication and/or shipment under this agreement for a period of thirty (30) days. If within that period the Buyer has not rectified all such defaults, then Seller may cancel this Agreement or any balance of shipments immediately without prejudice to claims for payment for products already shipped or ready for shipment or for damages (including cancellation charges) for work already begun or commitments, obligations, expenditures, expenses or costs incurred in relation to the order. Seller can credit against amounts due hereunder any amounts owed to Buyer by Seller or its affiliates. Each delivery by Seller shall be considered a separate transaction and be invoiced separately without regard to subsequent deliveries.

Shipping predictions shall be calculated from the date of receipt at the Seller’s works of full manufacturing details.

Seller may ship product in advance of the schedule. Buyer shall inspect all packing and contents upon receipt and receipt to carrier according to facts. In a case of injury by carrier, Seller, if requested by Buyer, will make claims on behalf of Buyer provided the necessary data to substantiate such claims are submitted within the applicable statutory period.

IN THE EVENT OF SELLER’S LIABILITY AS TO ANY PRODUCT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGETCE OR STRICT LIABILTY) OR OTHERWISE, BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WILL BE FOR SELLER, AT ITS OPTION, TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR EXCHANGE SUCH PRODUCT OR REFUND THE PURCHASE PRICE, IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF INCOME, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH, LIABILITY, DEFAULT OR DELAY OF PERFORMANCE BY SELLER UNDER THIS Agreement.
