Terms and Conditions of Sale

All goods and/or services that CBS ArcSafe, LLC  and/or any of its affiliated companies (individually or collectively, “Seller”) may provide to you (“Buyer”) are subject to the general terms and conditions listed below (“Seller’s Terms”). Any accompanying or applicable quotation, confirmation of sale, and/or invoice of Seller (individually or collectively, the “Sales Confirmation” and, together with Seller’s Terms the “Sales Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, both written and oral. For good and valuable consideration, Buyer agrees as follows:

1. ORDER TERMS: Terms and conditions hereof shall apply to all orders placed by Buyer in lieu of any terms and conditions in Buyer’s purchase orders. SELLER’S TERMS SHALL PREVAIL OVER ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS, GENERAL OR SPECIFIC, WRITTEN OR ORAL, THAT BUYER MAY SET FORTH AS PART OF ITS PURCHASE OF ANY GOODS AND/OR SERVICES FROM SELLER EITHER IN A PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHERWISE. IF BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER SETS FORTH ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT DIFFER FROM, OR ARE IN ADDITION TO, SELLER’S TERMS; SUCH DIFFERING OR ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER ARE EXPRESSLY REJECTED. Should unknown conditions be a variance with the conditions indicated by the Sales Agreement, or should unknown physical conditions, or concealed or unknown conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in work of the character provided for in this Sales Agreement be encountered, the prices shall be equitably adjusted by change order upon a claim by either party made within twenty (20) days after the first observance of the conditions.

2. PAYMENT: Unless otherwise specified by Seller in writing, terms of payment are in United States Dollars due in full within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. All past-due accounts are subject to finance charges not to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Buyer shall indemnify and reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with collecting late payments or prosecuting any other breach by Buyer of this Sales Agreement, including, without limitation, Seller’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition to all other remedies available under this Sales Agreement or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend, cancel, or otherwise terminate the delivery of any goods and/or performance of any services if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder.

3. PRICES AND TAXES:

   1. Prices quoted are predicated on payment made by check, ACH, or wire transfer and are exclusive of taxes, freight, and merchant fees (if applicable and allowed under applicable law) and are valid for thirty (30) days from date of quote issuance unless otherwise published on Seller’s quote. Prices do not include any federal, state, local, use, sales, excise, value-added or other taxes or tariffs. Buyer is responsible for all taxes or tariffs associated with any order and agrees to indemnify Seller from such expenses. Prices are considered firm at the time Seller issues a written order acceptance to Buyer. Should any raw materials, component parts, or whole or partial equipment, used, incorporated, or otherwise supplied by Seller to Buyer, be subject to governmental regulation, tariffs, taxes, or cost increases beyond Seller’s control, Seller, at its option, may reprice such goods or services or otherwise impart those regulations, tariffs, taxes, or costs to Buyer.

   2. Payments by Credit Card. Due to additional third-party processing costs charged to Seller, (a) Seller in its sole discretion may refuse to accept payment by credit card or debit card, and (b) where permitted by applicable law, payments made to Seller by credit card will incur a merchant fee of three percent (3%) of the total amount of the payment to be made by credit card.

4. DELIVERY; RISK OF LOSS:

   1. All purchase orders are subject to credit application and approval and will be deemed accepted by the issuance of the Sales Confirmation. Buyer may not cancel or otherwise terminate a previously accepted purchase order unless Buyer (i) provides written notification of same to Seller prior to shipment of the goods and/or performance of the services affected thereby, and (ii) obtains written consent to same from Seller. If Seller agrees to any cancellation of the purchase order, such purchase order is subject to payment of Seller’s duly substantiated costs and the applicable administrative cancellation fee per the following table:

      Goods (Non-Engineered)	Percentage of Total Order Amount
      At least 90 days’ prior to scheduled delivery date	15%

      Within 7 days prior to onsite schedule	15%
      Within 48 hours prior to onsite schedule	25%
      Within 24 hours prior to onsite schedule	50%

       

   2. Unless Seller agrees otherwise in writing, Seller shall deliver the goods and risk of loss shall pass EXW Seller’s chosen facility (Incoterms 2020), and Buyer agrees that it has accepted the goods and risk of loss upon such goods being made available by Seller to Buyer and agrees there are no conditions to Buyer’s obligation to pay for such goods. Buyer shall pay for the goods pursuant to the terms of the applicable invoices whether or not it takes delivery of the goods. Buyer will not exercise any right of setoff against Seller to reduce the amount Buyer owes to Seller under the applicable invoices. Should Buyer fail to take possession of the goods upon Seller making the goods available to Buyer, Buyer agrees to pay a reasonable monthly inventory storage charge to Seller for the monthly storage of such goods. Shipping dates are approximate and are dependent on prompt receipt of all necessary information from Buyer.

   3. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipment of goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer’s Purchase Order.

   4. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates to render the services Seller provides to Buyer under this Sales Agreement, and any such dates shall be estimates only. With respect to such services, Buyer shall (i) cooperate with Seller in all matters relating to the services and provide such access to Buyer’s premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Seller, for the purposes of performing the services; (ii) respond promptly to any request from Seller to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Seller to perform the services in accordance with the requirements of this Sales Agreement; (iii) provide such materials or information as Seller may reasonably request and Buyer considers reasonably necessary to carry out the services in a timely manner and ensure that such materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the services before the date on which performance of the services are to start.

5. FORCE MAJEURE: Seller shall not be liable or responsible to Buyer, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Sales Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing this Sales Agreement, in whole or in part, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller including, without limitation, changes in rules, regulations, applicable laws, standards or requirements of governmental authorities existing at the time this Sales Agreement was made, tariffs, ICC regulations, accidents, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party’s workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage. In the event delay in performance is caused thereby, the time of performance shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of the delay and its consequences. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to give Buyer notice within a reasonable time after Seller becomes aware of any such delay.

6. BUYER’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS. Seller shall not be deemed in breach of this Sales Agreement for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing this Sales Agreement, in whole or in part, or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay if Seller’s performance of its obligations hereunder is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, including but not limited to Buyer’s failure or delay in supplying all necessary instructions, documents, licenses, authorizations, or other information as and when requested or specified by Seller. In the event delay in performance is caused by any of the foregoing, the time of performance shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of the delay and its consequences. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to give Buyer notice within a reasonable time after Seller becomes aware of any such delay or matters giving rise to such delay. Should the Buyer’s actions cause a delay for any unreasonable time, then Seller has the option to implement an equitable adjustment to the contract price.

7. TERMINATION. In addition to any remedies that may be provided under this Sales Agreement, Seller may terminate this Sales Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to Buyer, if Buyer: (i) fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for five (5) days following written notice thereof; (ii) has not otherwise performed or complied, in whole or in part, with this Sales Agreement and Seller’s Terms; or (iii) becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or assignment for the benefit of creditors
