Terms & Conditions
of Sale
The following
terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") shall apply to
the sale of products by Julabo East and Julabo West ("Seller") to the
entity shown as buyer ("Buyer") on Buyer’s purchase order ("Purchase
Order") or on Seller’s invoice or quote, as applicable.
1. Buyer’s Acceptance of Seller’s Terms and
Conditions. Seller’s acknowledgement and acceptance of
the Purchase Order is made expressly conditional upon Buyer’s assent
to the Terms and Conditions and upon no other terms and conditions.
Buyer’s assent to the Terms and Conditions shall be conclusively
presumed from the first to occur of (i) Buyer’s execution of a credit
application respecting credit with Seller; or (ii) Buyer’s execution
of any other document containing the Terms and Conditions; or (iii)
Buyer’s acceptance of delivery of any product ordered from Seller.
Seller hereby objects to and rejects any terms or conditions at
variance with, different from or additional to the Terms and
Conditions unless such terms and conditions are hereafter set forth in
a writing signed by Seller. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no amendment to, or waiver, modification or deletion
of, the Terms and Conditions shall be deemed effective unless any such
amendment, waiver, modification or deletion, as the case may be, shall
have been approved and accepted in writing by an officer of Seller.
2. Prices. All prices will be
adjusted to conform to Seller’s prices in effect at the date of
shipment. All prices are FOB Allentown, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. and
method of delivery and routing shall be at Seller's discretion.
Notwithstanding any agreement to pay freight, delivery of products
purchased hereunder to a common carrier or licensed trucker shall
constitute delivery to Buyer and be determinative of the date and time
of shipment and all risk of loss or damage in transit shall be borne
by Buyer. Seller may arrange for storage, the risk and the cost,
including insurance costs, to be borne by Buyer (and Buyer agrees to
pay such amounts upon demand).
3. Taxes. Seller’s prices do not
include any sales, excise or value-added taxes, import/export duties,
licenses, insurance or any other federal, state or local taxes or any
other government fees or charges. Buyer shall be solely responsible
for the payment of any sales, excise or value-added taxes, import/export
duties, licenses, insurance or any other federal, state or local taxes
or any other government fees or charges.
4. Payment. The terms of payment
shall be as stated on Seller’s invoice. If the full amount of each
invoice is not paid by its due date, any amount outstanding shall
accrue a service charge of 1.5% per month (subject to applicable law)
until any such amount outstanding is paid in full. Accrued and unpaid
service charges shall be added monthly to the outstanding balance due
upon which such service charges accrue (and additional service charges
shall accrue on the service charges so added), to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law. Seller is authorized to apply toward any
payment of any monies due Seller hereunder any sums now or hereafter
owed by Seller (or any entity affiliated with Seller) to Buyer (or any
entity affiliated with Buyer).
5. Title. Upon Seller’s receipt of
payment in full of all amounts due and owing Seller in connection with
the products being purchased hereunder, Seller shall be deemed to have
sold or otherwise transferred title in such products purchased
hereunder to Buyer.
6. Delivery. Delivery will be made in
accordance with Seller’s regular production schedule. Seller shall be
excused from any failure to perform due to any actions, events,
conditions, inactions or any other cause beyond Seller’s control in
the reasonable operation of its business. Any and all delivery dates
given by Seller constitute good faith estimates only. Seller shall not
be liable for any failure to meet any specific shipping or delivery
date as long as Seller acts in good faith.
7. Shortages and/or Defective or Damaged
Materials. Any alleged shortages and/or defective or
damaged products received by Buyer in connection herewith must be
reported in writing by Buyer to Seller within three (3) days of
receipt of such products.
8. Warranty Provisions. Seller’s
Warranty Provisions are incorporated herein by reference.
9. Cancellation. Buyer may not
cancel any order for products without Seller’s express, written
consent. Any cancellation so authorized shall be subject to a
cancellation charge of twenty-five percent (25%) at Seller’s sole
discretion. Seller may cancel Buyer’s order, or any part thereof, upon
the occurrence of any of the following events ("Events of Default"):
(i) Buyer fails fully to perform any of its obligations under the
Terms and Conditions or (ii) Seller in its reasonable opinion believes
that Buyer’s ability to perform the Terms and Conditions is in danger
or impaired. If an Event of Default occurs, Seller shall be entitled
to all rights and remedies set forth in the Pennsylvania Uniform
Commercial Code and all other remedies available at law or in equity
and the remedies herein reserved by Seller shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other legal or equitable remedies.
10. Indemnification. Buyer assumes
the entire responsibility and liability for, and agrees to release,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their
respective officers, agents, employees, successors, and assigns, from
and against any and all losses, expenses (including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), costs, damages (including
consequential and incidental damages), demands, liabilities, suits and
claims in connection with or arising out of any actual or alleged
personal injury (including death) or damage or destruction to property
(including loss of use) by whomsoever suffered, sustained or alleged
to have been sustained by reason of (i) any act, error or omission,
whether negligent or not, of Buyer or its agents, employees, suppliers,
subcontractors and consultants, provided that such injury, death,
damage or destruction is not occasioned by the sole negligence of
Seller or its agents, employees and subcontractors, or (ii) any
failure of Buyer or its agents, employees, suppliers, subcontractors,
or consultants to comply with any applicable law.
11. Assignment. Buyer shall not
assign (by operation of law or otherwise) any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of Seller.
The Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted
assigns.
12. Entire Agreement. These Terms and
Conditions constitute the entire understanding between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all
negotiations, prior discussions and preliminary agreements, if any.
Neither of the parties relied on any promises or representations made
by the other or any third party, whether written or oral, including
any advertising material, as an inducement to enter into this
agreement, except as may appear herein. No course of prior dealings
between the parties and no usage of trade shall be relevant to
supplement or explain any term herein. Seller’s acceptance or
acquiescence in a course of performance rendered by Buyer hereunder
shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of this agreement even
though Seller has knowledge of the nature of the performance and
opportunity for objection.
13. Severability. If any term,
covenant or condition of this agreement, or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement or the application of
such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other
than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not
be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition of this
agreement shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
14. Governing Law. The Purchase Order
and the Terms and Conditions and all questions relating to their
validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement shall be
construed in accordance with, and shall be governed by, the
substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to
its principles of conflicts of law. The Court of Common Pleas of
Lehigh County or the Unites States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any
action arising hereunder. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, any lawsuit brought by Buyer against Seller, whether
based on contract, tort or any other legal theory of recovery must be
commenced within one (1) year from the date when the alleged cause of
action accrued.
15. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event
that Seller must institute a lawsuit against Buyer to collect any
monies that it is due hereunder or pursuant to any purchase order for
products, or if Seller successfully defends against a lawsuit
instituted by Buyer against it hereunder, whether based on contract,
tort or any another theory, then Seller shall be entitled to its costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in
connection with any such lawsuit.
16. Waiver. Any failure of the part
of Seller to insist on strict compliance with the Terms and Conditions
shall in no way constitute a waiver of such right. No claim or rights
arising out of a breach of the Terms and Conditions by Buyer may be
discharged in whole or in part by a waiver of the claim or right,
unless the waiver is in writing signed by an authorized representative
of Seller. Seller’s waiver or acceptance of any breach by Buyer of any
provisions of the Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver
of or an excuse for nonperformance as to any other provision of the
Terms and Conditions nor as to any prior or subsequent breach of the
same provision.
17. Headings. The descriptive
headings of the several sections of the Terms and Conditions are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the
meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
18. Warnings. Buyer acknowledges that
certain dangers including explosions, burns, and fires, may be
associated with the misuse, improper installation or operation,
unauthorized or improper repair, replacement, or alteration or
unreasonable use or abuse of the product or the failure to follow the
product’s written installation or operating instructions.
