Terms & Conditions and Warranties

These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) define the relationship of Tramec, LLC (“Seller”) and buyer (“Buyer”) and apply to all sales of goods by Seller to Buyer. These Terms and the accompanying sales confirmation issued by Seller comprise the entire agreement of the parties relating to Seller’s sale of goods to Buyer. All orders are expressly conditioned on Buyer’s assent to these Terms. Any contrary terms and conditions appearing on Buyer’s request for quotation, purchase order or contract are expressly rejected. Buyer waives any right to object to these Terms. Buyer accepts these Terms by signing and returning Seller’s quotation, sending a purchase order in response to the quotation, instructing Seller to ship the goods, or accepting or paying for the goods. Seller’s failure to object to terms contained in any communication from Buyer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Seller’s terms and conditions.

TERMS OF PAYMENT
Terms are net thirty (30) days. A 2% monthly carrying charge will be added to all past due accounts, beginning the thirty-first (31st) day from date of invoice. Shipments can be made cash in advance prior to credit approval. All invoices are payable in U.S. funds. Buyer shall pay from invoice. If invoices are not paid within sixty (60) days, Buyer’s account will be placed on credit hold.

PRICES
All prices are subject to change without notice, and will be invoiced at the price in effect at the time of shipment. Discrepancies between purchase order price and prices in effect may result in delays or cancellation of purchase orders. Prices are F.O.B. shipping point. Prices do not include foreign or domestic sales, use, excise, surcharges or similar taxes. In addition to the prices specified by Seller, the amount of any present or future sales, use, excise or other general or specific tax, or imports, duties or penalties or other governmental charges shall be added to the price and paid by Buyer or, in lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate to Seller and the relevant taxing authorities.

PACKAGE QUANTITIES
Orders must conform to Seller’s specified package quantities. Nonconforming orders will be adjusted by Seller and will become binding on Buyer.

CANCELLATIONS
Buyer may not cancel any order without Seller’s prior written approval and Buyer shall pay Seller’s costs and other charges resulting from cancellation, including, without limitation, expenses incurred and work performed by Seller or Seller’s subcontractors or suppliers plus Seller’s lost profits.

SHIPMENT
Direct ship orders not meeting Seller’s qualifications for prepaid freight and all collect ship orders will be made F.O.B. at Seller’s facility at which time risk of damage and loss shall pass to Buyer. Seller reserves the right to select means and route of shipment if specific instructions are not included with an order, and Buyer waives any right it may have to notification of shipment. Seller may in its discretion make partial shipments. Shipments weighing 200 lbs. or less, dependent upon product size, will be made via package carrier (FedEx, UPS or US Mail). All shipments weighing more than 200 lbs., or are restricted by size for package carrier delivery, will be made via motor truck unless otherwise specified. Seller will endeavor to ship merchandise within the specified time; however, Seller does not guarantee delivery.

RISK OF LOSS AND DELIVERY
The promised delivery date is the date your purchase order is scheduled to be shipped. Liability for loss or damage passes to Buyer upon delivery at F.O.B. location. For collect shipments, this is delivery of goods by the Seller to the carrier at the F.O.B. shipping point. For prepaid shipments, this is delivery to the Buyers F.O.B. delivery location. Title to goods shall pass to Buyer at the appropriate F.O.B. location, subject to Seller’s right of stoppage in transit to secure payment of the purchase price for the goods. In the case of deliveries scheduled to be made over an extended period, the price to be paid by Buyer shall be that price in effect at the time of shipment.

FORCE MAJEURE
Seller shall not be liable, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any delay in performance or for non-performance, in whole or in part, caused by the occurrence of any act or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Seller or Seller’s suppliers, including but not limited to, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, sabotage, insurrection, riot or other act of civil disobedience, act of a public enemy, epidemic, failure or delay in transportation, act of any government or agency thereof affecting these Terms, judicial action, labor dispute, accident, fire, explosion, flood, storm or other Act of God, shortage of labor, fuel, raw materials, tools, dies or equipment or technical failure. Any such delays shall excuse Seller from performance, and Seller’s time for performance shall be extended for the period of delays and for a reasonable time thereafter.

MULTIPLE SHIPMENTS – SEPARATE CONTRACTS
If the contract provides for, or if Seller elects to make, multiple shipments or deliveries, each such shipment or delivery shall be construed as a separate sale. Buyer agrees to accept and pay for each such shipment or delivery. Should Buyer fail to accept and pay for each shipment or delivery, Seller may, without prejudice to any other lawful remedy, (a) defer further shipments or deliveries until acceptance thereof by Buyer or until payment is made by Buyer, (b) at its sole discretion and without liability whatsoever, terminate these Terms as to any unaccepted or undelivered portion thereof, as well as any other outstanding contract with Buyer and (c) recover from Buyer any expenses and losses sustained by Seller.

INSPECTION & ACCEPTANCE
Buyer will have five (5) days from delivery to inspect goods for defects and nonconformity and to notify Seller in writing of any defects or nonconformity or rejection of the goods.

Seller’s limit of liability for defective merchandise shall be the difference in value on contract date of delivery between goods specified and goods actually delivered. The limit of Seller’s liability for non-delivery shall be the difference, if any, between the contract price and the fair market price on the contract date of delivery of the goods to be delivered.
