IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP WITH SELLER: To help the United States Government fight terrorism and money laundering, Federal law requires Seller to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or business that opens an account or establishes a relationship with it. When Buyer opens an account or establishes a relationship with Seller, Seller will ask for Buyer’s name, street address, date of birth (if an individual) and identification number, such as a social security number or taxpayer identification number.

  1. ACCEPTANCE. The acceptance given by this invoice/acknowledgement creates a complete and binding contract between Seller and Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions appearing herein. Acceptance is at all times subject to availability for delivery of the goods covered by each order and is subject to Seller’s prices in effect for said goods at the time of shipment, unless otherwise agreed in a separate written agreement signed by Buyer and Seller. Prices on the face hereof are those in effect on the date this invoice/acknowledgement was prepared and Seller, in its sole discretion, may adjust such prices up to the time of delivery. The acceptance given by this invoice/acknowledgement is expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s acceptance of all terms and conditions stated in this invoice/acknowledgement, including any additional or different terms and conditions, and upon the express understanding that any additional or conflicting terms and conditions contained in Buyer’s purchase order or other communications are deemed material, are hereby objected to and rejected by Seller and will not be applicable to the order evidenced by this invoice/acknowledgement. Buyer’s issuance of a release, if applicable, or acceptance of goods from Seller shall be deemed an acceptance by Buyer of all terms and conditions stated in this invoice/acknowledgement. No changes in the terms and conditions of this invoice/acknowledgement, and no additional or inconsistent terms and conditions in the order evidenced by this invoice/acknowledgement, shall be effective unless approved in writing by Seller. Reference to Buyer’s purchase order shall not be construed as incorporating the terms and conditions of such offer and shall not amend these terms.
  2. QUOTATIONS. If this invoice/acknowledgement is provided by Seller to Buyer as a quotation, then, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, such quotation is for information only and is not intended as an offer and is subject to change without notice in all respects, including prices, delivery dates, terms, quantities, and/or specifications.
  3. TERMS OF PAYMENT. Terms of payment shall be as stated on the face hereof. Buyer represents to Seller that Buyer is presently solvent.

(Under (b) and (c), Buyer, at Seller’s option, may be charged all collection fees.) Any amount not paid when due will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per year or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the date due to the date of payment. Until an invoice has been paid in full, Seller will have and Buyer hereby grants to Seller a “purchase money security interest” in all goods delivered under that invoice and in all proceeds (if any) received by Buyer from the sale of such goods. Buyer agrees that this acknowledgment is a written record that expressly authorizes Seller to execute (in the name of and on behalf of Buyer) and file any financing statements and other documents as may be required to perfect this “purchase money security interest”. If Buyer fails to pay any invoice when due, then Seller may exercise all rights with respect to the goods subject to its “purchase money security interest” in accordance with applicable law. If Buyer is located in one of those places which recognizes reservation of title, Buyer agrees that Seller retains title to the goods to secure Buyer’s payment for them, and Buyer assigns to Seller all proceeds from their sale or pledge. Invoices are payable in United States currency unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller.
  4. TAXES. Unless otherwise stated on the face hereof, prices do not include any applicable federal, state or local taxes. Any tax or other charge now or hereafter levied upon the production, sale, use or shipment of goods ordered or sold may, at Seller’s option, be added to the purchase price.
