Sales Terms & Conditions

1. ACCEPTANCE AND CANCELLATION OF ORDER: Any Contract for the sale of goods made between Buyer and Seller may only be cancelled by Buyer upon the advance written consent of Seller (which it may withhold in its sole discretion). As a condition to receiving Seller’s written consent, Buyer shall pay all reasonable cancellation and restocking charges due to Buyer’s cancellation of the order. Special orders for items normally not stocked by Seller are non-cancelable and non- refundable.

2. DELIVERY: All prices quoted, and goods shipped are F.O.B. Seller’s place of shipment. Title to and risk of loss of all goods shall pass to Buyer when the goods are placed by Seller in possession of a common carrier, selected by Seller for shipment to Buyer. Unless expressly provided otherwise in the Contract, Buyer shall pay all freight, handling, delivery and insurance costs for the shipment of goods. Seller may refuse or delay any shipment if Buyer fails to satisfy fulfilling any contractual obligation to Seller, whether pursuant to this Contract or any other contract between Seller and Buyer. Seller may deliver all goods covered by this Contract at one time or in portion, from time to time, within the time for delivery provided in the order.

3. FORCE MAJEURE: Seller is excused from performance of any obligation and shall not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform if its failure or delay of performance is caused by events not within Seller’s reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, quarantine, restriction, expropriation or confiscation of facilities, compliance with any order of any governmental authority, industrial disturbances, blockades, insurrection, arrest and restraint of people or rulers, civil disturbances, boycotts, acts or omission of Buyer, acts or omission of civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockouts, landslide, lightning, washouts, tornadoes, hurricanes, windstorms, explosions, epidemic, flood, storm, earthquake, riot, war, breakage or accident of machinery or equipment, delays in transportation, delays of suppliers, or inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, or supplies. In the event of any delay, the contractual date of delivery, if any, shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a consequence of the delay without penalty to the Seller.

PAYMENT TERMS:

Buyers shall pay for goods in full, without offset or deduction, within the time frame and in the manner set forth in the Contract. For those sales that do not require payment in advance of or on delivery, if payment is not received by Seller within the period set forth in the Contract, Buyer shall pay to Seller on demand, a late payment charge of 1.5% per month of the unpaid balance or the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, whichever is less. Time is of the essence with respect to Buyer’s obligation to pay all invoices in full.

All checks are accepted subject to collection. Seller may apply any payment by Buyer to any amount owed to Seller by Buyer, whether under this or any other Contract between Buyer and Seller. Acceptance of any partial payment shall not constitute waiver of Seller’s right to payment in full of all amounts owing from Buyer to Seller.

Buyer hereby grants to Seller a security interest in the goods shipped pursuant to this Contract, including all accessions to and replacement of the goods and the proceeds thereof, to secure the due and punctual payment of the purchase price of the goods and all other amounts owing hereunder. Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller any additional documents instruments, financing statements, or amendments that Seller deems necessary or advisable to maintain, continue and perfect the security interest created.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller is acting solely as the third-party distributor of the goods covered by the Contract and that the licensee or the manufacturer of the goods shall be solely responsible to Seller and any third-parties for all liability, claims, damages, obligations, and costs and expenses related to the goods distributed by the Seller. Buyer agrees to look solely to the manufacturer for compliance with the manufacturer’s warranty and for any maintenance, support, or repairs of the goods. Seller assigns to Buyer any warranty delivered to Seller by a manufacturer or other vendor to the extent the assignment is permitted by the terms thereof. Seller makes no representation, covenant, or warranty with respect to the extent or enforceability of the manufacturer’s warranty.

All claims for any damages, defects, or shortage, or for any cause whatsoever (whether the claim is based in contract, negligence, strict liability, other tort, or otherwise) shall be deemed waived unless made in writing and received by Seller within 14 days of the invoice date. Failure of Seller to receive written notice of any such claim within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver by Buyer of the claim regardless of whether the facts giving rise to the claim shall have been discovered or whether processing, further manufacture, other use, or resale of goods shall have then taken place.

BUYER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE FOR DAMAGES AND SELLER’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM WHATSOEVER, WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND SHALL, IN NO EVENT, EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE GOODS IN RESPECT TO WHICH THE CLAIM ARISES, OR AT SELLER’S OPTION, THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE GOODS. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY CLAIM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS LOSSES, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, OR ANY LIABILITY OF BUYER TO ITS CUSTOMER OR THIRD PARTIES). Seller shall not be liable for, and Buyer assumes full liability for, all personal injury and property damage connected with the handling, transportation, possession, processing, repackaging, further manufacture, or other use or resale of goods, whether the goods are used alone or in combination with any other material.

SELLER’S RIGHT TO INCREASE PRICES: Seller reserves the right to increase the price of the goods covered by this Contract to reflect any increase in Seller’s cost for those goods caused by an increase in the price charged by the Seller’s supplier, and Buyer agrees to pay to Seller any such increased price according to the terms of this Contract.

Accordingly, Buyer shall pay, in additional to the prices specified by Seller, all local, state, and federal taxes, including all sales tax, use, excise or other similar tax, payable with respect to the goods or the transaction contemplated herein, or, alternately, provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the applicable taxing authorities.

BREACH: In the event of a breach by the Buyer, Seller shall have all the remedies provided by the State of Florida, which shall be cumulative with one another and with any other remedies that Seller might have at law, in equity, under any agreement of any type, or otherwise, without limitation. The waiver by Seller of any breach hereof or default in any payment shall not constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach or default. The exercise or failure to exercise any remedy shall not preclude the exercise of the remedy at another time or any other remedy at any other time. Buyer shall pay to Seller, on demand, all costs incurred by Seller in enforcing, prosecuting, or defending any provision of this Contract.
