All orders are subject to acceptance on these Standard Terms and Conditions of
Sale applying to products sold by the Company. The acceptance of the Purchaser's
order is expressly made conditional on the Purchaser's assent to the terms and
conditions as stated herein. The Purchaser acknowledges and accepts the
Company's Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale by virtue of (a) the issuance of a
purchase order, (b) the acceptance of a delivery (either by the Company or common
carrier) or of services performed, or (c) the will-call pick-up of product at a Company
location. The Company agrees to furnish the merchandise or services covered by an
agreement of sale and/or quotation only upon these terms and conditions. No waiver,
alteration, or modification of the terms and conditions herein shall be valid unless
made in writing and signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer. No
provisions of any purchase order or any form of acceptance used by the Purchaser
which are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions hereof, except
additional provisions specifying the quantity and type of the products or services, the
shipping schedule, purchase price, invoicing, and shipping instructions, shall be
considered applicable to the purchase of the Company's products or services, and
none of these provisions shall be binding upon the Company unless specifically
accepted or approved in writing and signed on its behalf by one of its said officers.
-
The Company makes no representations with respect to compliance with project
specifications. Any agreement of sale and/or quotation represents the Company's
best interpretation of any applicable project and the material required for the project
based on specifications and/or schedules provided to us by the Purchaser or by
Custom Survey. Any change to said specifications and/or schedules will void the sale
and/or quotation at the Company's option. The Company will not be liable for
omissions from, nor any labor or material charges resulting from a misinterpretation
of, the project requirements or information provided for the materials, regardless if
the information was provided by the Purchaser or not. The Company is not
responsible for verification of voltages, mounting methods, ceiling types, or
suspension types and lengths, or for determining if multiple ballasts are required for
switching, or for any other options or variation of products. It is the responsibility of
the Purchaser to determine and verify these items and any other pertinent
information required to supply each particular project per plans and specifications.
-
Products sold by the Company are sold as commercial grade products not intended
for application in facilities or activities utilized for atomic purposes. The products are
not intended, nor shall they be used, in any safety-related application in any nuclear
facility.
-
Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing, all product sales are made FOB
point of shipment with freight prepaid and charged to destinations (nearest freight
station or common carrier delivery point) within the continental United States, except
Alaska. All product sales made to Alaska and Hawaii are FOB point of shipment with
freight prepaid and charged to port of embarkation. All transportation charges will be
billed to and paid by Purchaser. In all cases, title to the products shall pass upon
delivery to the carrier at the FOB point, and thereafter all risk of loss or damage shall
be upon the Purchaser. Shipments are not insured unless so ordered. All claims for
shortage, breakage, or damage must be filed with the carrier.
-
Prices quoted by the Company, unless otherwise specified, must be accepted within
48 hours. After 48 hours, or in the event of a Declaration of War or a National
Emergency, prices are immediately subject to renegotiation. All other prices not
covered by an authorized quotation are subject to change without notice.
-
The Company's prices do not include sales, use, excise, or similar taxes.
Consequently, in addition to the prices specified by the Company in any agreement
of sale or quotation, the amount of any present or future sales, use, excise, or other
similar taxes applicable to the sale or use of the products shall be billed to and paid
by the Purchaser in addition to the prices specified therein.
-
After a Purchaser's order is received by the Company, no changes therein, whether
pertaining to the quality and type of products or services ordered, their specifications,
or other provisions of the order, will be approved by the Company unless the
Purchaser agrees in writing to pay the Company for any applicable cost or expenses
resulting from such changes.
-
The Company's permission must be obtained in writing before any products are
returned to it by Purchaser for any reason whatsoever. If products are returned
without such permission, Purchaser authorizes the Company, in addition to such
other remedies as it may have, to hold the returned products at Purchaser's sole risk
and expense. Special-ordered materials (non-stock) are not subject to return.
Standard stock materials are subject to a minimum restocking charge of 25% on
authorized returns. Applicable invoice numbers must accompany returned goods.
-
Purchaser's assignment of its order or any interest therein, or of any rights
hereunder, without the written consent of the Company shall be void at the
Company's option.
-
Stock material is subject to prior sale.
-
The Company does not guarantee delivery dates. Shipping dates given by the
Company prior to shipment are estimated only, and the Company shall not be liable
for failure to meet such dates for any reason, including delays in or failure of delivery
by a manufacturer resulting from product shortages or other manufacturing delays or
causes beyond the Company's reasonable control. Causes beyond the Company's
reasonable control include the following, whether in the Company's own facilities or
in any other facility affecting its supply, production, transportation, or delivery: fire,
windstorm, earthquake, or other natural disaster; strikes, lockouts, or other work
stoppages; wars, riots, or civil commotion; priorities or other Government allocations
or controls; interference or restraint of public authority (whether lawful or not);
explosion or accident; epidemic or quarantine restrictions; failure of the Company's
suppliers to deliver; shortage of raw material or labor; or any other cause, whether or
not of the same kind as those here specified, which the Company cannot provide
against by the exercise of reasonable diligence. In the event of any delay from such
causes, shipping and/or delivery dates shall be extended to a period equal to the
time lost by reason of the delay. In the event of a product shortage, the Company
shall have the right to allocate its available products among its customers on such a
basis as it may determine at its sole discretion in the exercise of its business
judgment.
-
Pro-rata payments are due when shipments are made or services performed and
invoices rendered. If shipments are delayed by the Purchaser, payments shall
become due when the Company is prepared to make shipment. Products so held for
the Purchaser shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser.
-
All sales are subject to prior approval by the Company's credit department and
agreement to the extension of credit by the Company's main office. If the financial
condition of the Purchaser at any time does not, in the judgment of the Company,
justify continued performance by the Company on the terms of payment as agreed
upon, the Company may require full or partial payment in advance or shall be entitled
to cancel any order then outstanding and shall receive reimbursement for its
reasonable and proper cancellation charges, and in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Purchaser or in the event any proceeding is brought against the
Purchaser, voluntarily or involuntarily, under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, the
Company shall be entitled to cancel any order then outstanding at any time during
the period allowed for filing claims against the estate and shall receive
reimbursement for its reasonable and proper cancellation charges. No credit will be
issued for goods returned without the Company's permission, and a restocking
charge will be made. See the paragraph on Returns, above. All claims for shortage
must be reported immediately upon receipt or shipment, or otherwise will be deemed
waived.
-
The parties hereto expressly agree that the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy
against the Company shall be for the repair or replacement of a defective product
under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty for each of the products sold by the
Company. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed of its essential
purpose so long as the Company is willing and able to negotiate in good faith with
the manufacturer on behalf of the Purchaser for either repair or replacement of
defective goods. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE NOT
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. The Company's liability, whether under theories
of breach of contract or warranty, negligence, or strict liability, shall be limited to
repairing or replacing parts found by the Company to be defective or, at the
Company's option, to refund the purchase price of such product. In no event shall the
Company be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising out of or in
connection with a product or services sold by the Company. Consequential damages
shall include, but not be limited to, loss of use, income, or profit, and losses
sustained as a result of injury (including death) to any person or loss of or damage to
property. Material Safety Data Sheets may be obtained upon written request.
-
The Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold the Company harmless from and
against all claims, demands, causes of action (including third-party claims, demands,
and causes of action, whether directly or for contribution or indemnification), losses,
damages, expenses (including attorney's fees), and liabilities of every kind and
nature (each a "Claim") asserted by any person that arises out of or results from any
one or more of the following with respect to products sold to Purchaser by the
Company: (a) any breach by any manufacturer of any of its representations,
warranties, or covenants; (b) without limiting the preceding, any defective product,
whether such defect is one of design or manufacture; (c) any recall of any product,
regardless of who initiates the product recall; and (d) any negligent act or omission
by a manufacturer. Purchaser's duty to indemnify the Company will apply whether
the Claim arises under theories of tort, contract, warranty, strict liability, product
liability, statute, or otherwise. To the extent that the Company incurs any loss for
death, personal injury, or loss of property to unrelated third parties, whether during
any warranty period or after its expiration, in connection with any products or
services, Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold the Company harmless from
and against such loss, notwithstanding the expiration of the warranty period, the
amount of insurance to be carried by the manufacturer, or any other limitation. This
indemnity applies except to the extent that the Claim arises out of the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.
-
Prices quoted by the Company for products are those in effect as of the date of the
agreement of sale or quotation, and are predicated on immediate release for
manufacture and shipment as soon as completed. These prices shall be adjusted for
changes in the price of metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), petroleum products or other
chemicals which may occur between the date of sale/quotation and the dates
shipments are made. All such adjustments will be made against the net price after all
discounts and will be calculated using commonly excepted industry indexes for the
specific metal, petroleum product and/or chemical (e.g. COMEX for copper). Orders
received without cutting lengths or for subsequent release, shall be billed at the price
in effect on the day release is received and shall be adjusted thereafter for changes
in the prices of metals, petroleum products, and/or chemicals which may occur
between the date of release and the dates shipments are made.
-
Unless otherwise stated, prices do not include lamps, mounting hardware, or
accessories. All fixtures are quoted with 120V as supplied by the fixture
manufacturers in accordance with their UL listings unless otherwise noted.
-
This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the State of Oregon applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within
the State of Oregon. Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with this
agreement shall, at the option of the Company, be resolved by binding arbitration in
the State of Oregon. Venue of any arbitration or other legal action arising out of or in
connection with this agreement shall be at the sole option of the Company. The
prevailing party in any such arbitration or other legal action shall be entitled to
recover its attorney's fees and expenses, including expert witness fees, in addition to
any other costs allowed by law. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing,
should the Company retain any attorney or collection agency for the purpose of
collecting monies owed by Purchaser to Company for products or services sold
hereunder, Purchaser shall pay all of Company's costs of collection, including
attorney's fees, whether or not a lawsuit is filed to collect the debt.
