2. Terms

All sales of Products by Seller will be governed by, and are expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s assent to, these Terms. These Terms are incorporated into any Quote provided by Seller to Buyer. Buyer’s order for any Products whether communicated to Seller verbally, in writing, by electronic data interface or other electronic commerce, shall constitute acceptance of these Terms. Seller objects to any contrary or additional terms or conditions of Buyer. Reference in Seller's order acknowledgement to Buyer's purchase order or purchase order number shall in no way constitute an acceptance of any of Buyer's terms or conditions of purchase. Any Quotes marked “Ballpark” or otherwise implied to be budgetary are designed to fulfill sellers request of approximate pricing for their planning or budgetary reasons and does not constitute a firm offer of sale. Seller reserves all rights to accept or reject any purported acceptance by Buyer to Seller’s Quote if such purported acceptance attempts to vary the terms of the Quote. If Seller ships Products after Buyer issues an acceptance to the Quote, any additional or different terms proposed by Buyer will not become part of the parties’ business relationship unless agreed to in a writing that is signed by an authorized representative of Seller, excluding email correspondence. If the transaction proceeds without such agreement on the part of Seller, the business relationship will be governed solely by these Terms and the specific terms in Seller’s Quote.


3. Price; Payment

The Products set forth in the Quote are offered for sale at the prices indicated in the Quote. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the Quote, prices are valid for thirty (30) days and do not include any sales, use, or other taxes, duties, or environmental fees. Seller reserves the right to modify prices for any reason and at any time by giving ten (10) days prior written notice. Seller will process and accept orders at current pricing at the date of order processing, regardless of price noted on Buyers purchase order. It is the buyers responsibility to ensure they receive order acknowledgements and are in acceptance with price stated on the acknowledgement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller’s cost of supplying the goods to Buyer is increased after the date the order is received as a result of increased prices of materials, equipment, labour, or other supply chain or inflationary pressures, such increase will be added to the Order Price. Unless otherwise specified by Seller, all prices are F.C.A. Seller's facility (INCOTERMS 2020), or F.C.A manufacturing facility for drop-ship orders. All sales are contingent upon credit approval and full payment for all purchases is due thirty (30) days from the date of invoice (or such date as may be specified in the Quote). Under any circumstances, Buyer may not withhold or suspend payment of any amounts due and payable as a deduction, set-off or recoupment of any amount, claim or dispute with Seller. Unpaid invoices beyond the specified payment date incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum allowable rate under applicable law. Seller reserves the right to require advance payment or provision of securities for first and subsequent deliveries if there is any doubt, in Seller’s sole determination, regarding the Buyer’s creditworthiness or for other business reasons. If the requested advance payment or securities are not provided to Seller’s satisfaction, Seller reserves the right to suspend performance or reject the purchase order, in whole or in part, without prejudice to Seller’s other rights or remedies, including the right to full compensation. Seller may revoke or shorten any payment periods previously granted in Seller’s sole determination. At any time if in Seller’s sole judgement, Buyer’s financial position does not justify the terms of payment specified, Seller may require full or partial payment prior to shipment of goods. The rights and remedies herein reserved to Seller are cumulative and in addition to any other or further rights and remedies available at law or in equity. No waiver by Seller of any breach by Buyer of any provision of these terms will constitute a waiver by Seller of any other breach of such provision.


4. Shipment; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss

All delivery dates are approximate, and Seller is not responsible for damages or additional costs resulting from any delay. All deliveries are subject to our ability to procure materials from our suppliers. Regardless of the manner of shipment, delivery occurs and title and risk of loss or damage pass to Buyer, upon placement of the Products with the carrier at Seller's facility. Unless otherwise agreed prior to shipment and for domestic delivery locations only, Seller will select and arrange, at Buyer’s sole expense, the carrier and means of delivery. When Seller selects and arranges the carrier and means of delivery, freight and insurance costs for shipment to the designated delivery location will be prepaid by Seller and added as a separate line item to the invoice. Buyer shall be responsible for any additional shipping charges incurred by Seller due to Buyer’s acts or omissions. Buyer shall not return or repackage any Products without the prior written authorization from Seller, and any return shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer.
