Andros Terms and Conditions of Sale
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. Acceptance. Placement of any order with Andros Engineering Corporation (“Company”) constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”). No purchase order, sales agreement or other agreement shall bind Company unless accepted by Company. No order or agreement accepted by Company may be canceled without Company’s written consent. Company shall have no liability for delay, failure, or refusal to accept Purchaser’s orders or to ship products to Purchaser if the delay, failure, or refusal results from: (1)capacity restraints, demand in excess of available supply, labor strikes or lockouts; or (2) any cause beyond Company’s control.
2. Prices. The prices charged for products shall be those agreed to and acknowledged by Company in its sole discretion upon acceptance of a sales agreement or purchase order. Prices are subject to change without notice. Such published prices and terms may be changed by the Company at any time, and Purchasers will be notified of such changes, but any such change will become effective on the date indicated whether or not the Purchaser has actually received notice thereof. All prices are FOB Company plant (Paso Robles, CA) and do not include shipping, special packaging, insurance, taxes, duties and other similar charges, except as expressly provided by Company in its price list or on the invoice.
3. Taxes. In addition to the price of the products, Purchaser assumes and agrees to pay Company, and to hold Company harmless from and against all duties, imports, fines, sales, use, excise or other taxes or assessments imposed upon the products or any sales transaction by any national, state or local authority.
4. Terms of Payment. The Company shall invoice Purchaser upon shipment of products covered by the invoice and payment shall be received by the due date for payment on the invoice (“Due Date”). If the Due Date falls on a weekend or national holiday, the payment must be received on the next business day. Unless payment is received by the Company within 5 days of the Due Date, a service charge of eighteen percent (18%) per annum compounded monthly or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, shall be paid by Purchaser upon all late payments. If the payment is received 5 or more days after the Due Date, the service charge will be retroactive to the Due Date. If an early payment discount is stated on the invoice, Purchaser shall receive a cash discount off the price of the invoiced products, not including freight or special charges, if the payment is received and posted by our bank on or before the date for early payment. If payment is made via a check but is received by the bank after the date for early payment described on the invoice, discounts will be allowed if the postmark date is five days prior to the date for early payment described on the invoice. The Purchaser’s account must be current (i.e. there are no past due invoices on the account) to qualify for an early pay discount. All rebates and credit memos must be deducted from the account prior to application of any cash discount.
5. Security Interest. In consideration for the sale of products to Purchaser, Purchaser grants to Company a purchase money security interest in the products, which security interest shall extend to all parts, repairs, and accessories now or thereafter attached to the products, and to all proceeds there from, including, without limitation, accounts, general intangible and chattel paper, to secure payments to Company of all monies now or hereafter owed by Purchaser to Company in connection with sale of the products to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver whatever documents Company may require in order to enable Company to perfect its security interest. Purchaser’s failure to pay all amounts owed to Company in full and when due shall constitute a default, and shall give Company all rights of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code.
6. Risk of Loss. Delivery of products by the Company to a carrier (which term includes agents or employees of the Purchaser as well as common or contract carriers) for transportation to the Purchaser, or to a Company designated third party warehouse or transfer company, shall constitute delivery to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall bear all risk of loss thereafter.
7. Title to Goods. Title to and ownership of products shall pass to the Purchaser upon delivery to the Purchaser, as provided in paragraph 6 above.
8. Nonconformity of Goods. Purchaser may not reject or revoke its acceptance of any product(s) unless the nonconformity of such product(s) is substantial. No nonconformity or defect in any lot or installment shall constitute grounds for claiming breach of the entire purchase order or sales agreement, and any lots or installments whose conformity Purchaser does not dispute shall be paid for in accordance with these terms and conditions, regardless of any dispute concerning other shipments, installments, or undelivered products. Company reserves the right to cure, by repair or replacement, any defects within a reasonable time after receiving written notice of such defects from Purchaser. Purchaser has 15 days following delivery of products hereunder to give Company written notice of any claimed defect in such products. Failure to give timely notice, as provided above, shall be deemed irrevocable acceptance of such products.
9. Returns and Order Cancellations. For all products, written permission must be received from Company prior to return of any product. Company will not accept returns unless the products are in new, resalable condition. Returned items are subject to a twenty percent (20%) restocking charge unless return occurrence is due to Company error. Credit will be based on invoice price. In addition, the Purchaser is responsible for arranging shipment and paying all freight charges associated with returning the product to Company’s warehouse. Special, custom products, including all assembled equipment, are manufactured to order and are non-returnable. Returns will not be accepted if requested more than 90 days after invoice date unless return occurrence is due to Company error. All Sales Order cancellations will be treated as a Return and subject to the conditions above.
10. Product and Packaging Changes. Company reserves the right to make changes of any kind to the products, packaging, and brand names, which it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, without providing notice to Purchaser and may deliver revised products (including, but not limited to, revised designs, models, packaging, or brand names) against any and all orders.
