Washroom Accessories Terms & Conditions
1. Offer, Governing and Cancellation. This writing constitutes an offer or counter-offer by Bradley Corporation ("Seller") to sell products described herein in accordance with these terms and conditions, is not an acceptance of any offer made by buyer, and is expressly conditioned upon assent to these terms and conditions. Seller objects to any additional or different terms contained in any purchase order or other communication previously or hereafter provided by buyer to Seller. No additional or different terms or conditions will be binding upon Seller unless specifically agreed to in writing. No order may be cancelled or altered by buyer expect upon terms and conditions acceptable to Seller, as evidenced by Seller's written consent. In the event of such an approved cancellation by buyer, Seller shall be entitled to payment of the full price, less the amount of any expense saved by Seller by reason of the cancellation.
2. Prices and Payment. All prices are subject to change upon notice; and the price of the products on order but unshipped will be adjusted to the price in effect at the time of shipment. Payment is due upon buyer's receipt of Seller's invoice, unless Seller requires payment in advance. Interest will be charged at 18% per year (but not more than the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law) on accounts more than 30 days past due.
3. Taxes and Other Charges. Any manufacturer's tax, occupation tax, use tax, sales tax, excise tax, value added tax, duty, custom, inspection or testing fee, or any other tax, fee, interest or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any government authority, on or measured by the transaction between Seller and buyer (collectively, "taxes and other charges") shall be paid by buyer in addition to prices quoted or invoiced. In the event Seller is required to pay any such taxes and other charges, buyer shall reimburse Seller therefore.
4. Delivery, Claims and Force Majeure. Delivery of products to a carrier at Seller's plant or other loading point shall constitute delivery to buyer; and regardless of shipping terms or freight payment, buyer shall bear all risk of loss or damage in transit. Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments, unless otherwise expressly stipulated herein; all such installments to be separately invoiced and paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve the buyer of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries.
Buyer must make claims for shortages or other errors in delivery in writing to Seller within 10 calendar days after receipt of shipment and failure to give such notice shall constitute unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims. Claims for loss or damage to goods in transit should be made to the carrier and not to Seller.
All delivery dates are approximate. Seller shall not be liable for any damage as a result of any delay or failure to deliver due to any cause beyond Seller's reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God, act of buyer, embargo, or other governmental act, regulation, or request, fire, accident, strike, slowdown, war, riot, delay in transportation, or inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, or manufacturing facilities. In event of such delay the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost because of the delay. Buyer's exclusive remedy for other delays and for the Seller's inability to deliver for any reason shall be rescission of this agreement.
5. Delayed Shipment. If the products are not shipped within 15 days after notification to buyer that they are ready for shipping, for any reason beyond Seller's reasonable control, including buyer's failure to give shipping instructions, buyer shall pay Seller a fee equal to 10% per annum on the invoice price of the products, as compensation for handling, transportation and storage costs associated with such a delay.
6. Changes. Seller may at any time make such changes in design and construction of products, as Seller deems appropriate, without notice to buyer. Seller may furnish suitable substitutes for material unobtainable because of priorities or regulations established by governmental authority or non availabilitiy of materials from suppliers.
