Acceptance. The Terms apply to all quotations, offers, sales and deliveries of Product made by Seller to Customer. In the event that any of these Terms conflict with terms and conditions affixed to a Customer’s purchase order, bill of lading or any other procurement document, the Terms contained herein shall govern. Acceptance of Customer’s order is conditioned upon Customer’s acceptance of the Terms herein, irrespective of whether Customer accepts these Terms by a written acknowledgement, by implication, by acceptance of Products ordered, or by payment for Products ordered. Seller’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Customer shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions herein. Seller reserves the right at any time to amend these Terms, which amended Terms shall be posted on Seller’s website at: https://www.belknapwhite.com/legal. Customer shall be deemed to accept such amended Terms by ordering Products offered after the date of any such amendment. Pricing. Pricing for Products is published in Seller’s price list (“Price List”) found at: https://bwg400.belknapwhite.com/danciko/d24/. Seller reserves the right to change its prices and the specifications of Products at any time without notice. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, prices quoted in the Price List do not include any federal, state or local sales, use, excise or similar tax or fee related to the production, sale or delivery of the Products. Customer is responsible for payment of all such taxes, charges and fees unless Customer furnishes an acceptable tax exemption certificate in advance to Seller. Quotations and Orders. A quotation by Seller does not constitute an offer, and Seller reserves the right to withdraw or revise a quotation at any time prior to Seller’s acceptance of Customer’s purchase order. Seller’s acceptance of Customer’s order shall be effective only where such acceptance is made in writing by an authorized representative of Seller. Credit Terms. Upon request, Customer shall provide Seller such credit information and documentation as Seller may reasonably require to determine Customer’s creditworthiness. If at any time, in Seller’s sole opinion, Customer’s financial responsibility is unsatisfactory or impaired, or Customer fails to promptly provide requested credit information, then Seller may suspend deliveries or may place Customer on a full or partial cash-in-advance status until arrangements are made for security satisfactory to Seller in Seller’s sole discretion or, at Seller’s option, until Customer pays all indebtedness in full. Payment Terms. The terms of payment for all orders of Product are net 30 days from the date of invoice, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Seller. A service fee of 1.5% per month will be added to Customer’s account on any account balance remaining unpaid for 10 or more days past due, without prejudice to any other rights of Seller to demand immediate payment. In the event it becomes necessary to place Customer’s account for collection, Customer agrees to pay all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated therewith. Failure of Customer to make payment according to the Terms shall entitle Seller to suspend deliveries and/or terminate the purchase order. Payment Collection. As a condition of doing business with The Belknap White Group, customers must pay on account balances, cash on delivery (“COD”) payments, and over the counter transactions with checks drawn on US banks. All checks must be written against sufficient funds and may not be post marked. Checks can either be mailed or hand-delivered to any BWG office or branch location. Checks are The Belknap White Group’s standard method of collection. From time to time, alternate methods of collection and payment may be accepted, but those alternate methods may be charged a convenience fee. Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss for Products shall pass to Customer F.O.B. Warehouse, whereupon Customer assumes all responsibility and liability for loss and damage to Products resulting from its shipping, handling, storage or use. Security Interest. As security for the payment of the purchase price of Products sold to Customer by Seller, Customer hereby grants to Seller a purchase money security interest in all right, title and interest of Customer in and to the Products, wherever located and whether now existing or arising from time to time, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. Customer agrees that Seller may assert rights in Products delivered to Customer to ensure payment therefore, which may include the filing of financing statements and/or mechanic’s liens. Delivery and Inspection. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to meet performance dates for delivery of Products as are expressly agreed in the purchase order, and any such dates shall be estimates only. One delivery fee, as applicable to Customer’s delivery location, will be charged per delivery of Product from any Seller location. Seller assumes no liability for loss of profits, special, incidental or consequential damages due to delays. Product being held by Seller at Customer’s request shall be returned to inventory, and the order cancelled, if not shipped within 30 days; provided, however, that any samples or display Product held by Seller at Customer’s request shall be billed to Customer after 30 days. Any order of Product shipped directly from the manufacturer in an amount less than a full truckload will be subject to a 5% handling charge and all applicable freight charges. Seller is not liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit caused by a shortage of raw materials, manufacturing problems, delivery or labor problems, acts or laws of regulatory, governmental or judicial bodies, discontinuation of a product line, wars, riots, fires, explosions, accidents, terrorist acts, sabotage, acts of God, or other causes beyond its control. Inspection and Acceptance. Product sold by Seller shall be deemed accepted by Customer upon delivery. Customer or its agent should be present when and where the Product is delivered as agreed in the purchase order, and must sign a delivery verification slip acknowledging satisfactory receipt thereof. Customer agrees to inspect the Product immediately upon delivery, and any damage and/or shortage of Product must be noted in writing by Customer upon the delivery verification slip and be countersigned by the carrier’s agent. If such delivery verification slip is not signed by Customer or its agent upon delivery of Product, or if Customer requests delivery of Product to a location where Customer or its agent is not present to verify such delivery and sign such slip, then the Customer expressly and irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that carrier’s signature on such slip shall constitute conclusive evidence of delivery of the Product, and Customer must report any damage or shortage of Product to Seller in writing within 24 hours of such delivery, or else Customer will automatically be deemed to have accepted the condition and quantity of the Product as represented by Seller. Failure to give notice as provided herein within the specified time constitutes an unqualified acceptance of the Product and a waiver of all claims with respect thereto. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller may enforce lien rights against Customer in the event of non-payment, and these Terms, together with any invoice or purchase order, shall constitute evidence of the contractual relationship between the parties giving rise to such lien rights. Where Seller accepts liability for any non-delivery, damage or shortage of Product, Seller’s sole obligation shall be, at its option, to remedy any such non-delivery or shortage and/or (as appropriate) to replace any of the Products found to be damaged and/or to refund the cost of such Products to Customer. The remedies set forth in this Section 9 are expressly agreed to be Customer’s exclusive remedies against Seller or any other third party for non-conforming delivery of Products. Cancellation and Returns. Any order for Product that is cancelled after material has been cut and/or picked is subject to full handling and freight charges. All returns of Product are at the discretion of Seller and require a return authorization number and shipping directions prior to such return. No returns of Product will be accepted after 60 days from original delivery. Any Product that is authorized for return will be subject to a restocking fee of 15% for wood Products and 25% for all other Products, with a minimum charge of $25.00. Returned Product must be picked up at Customer’s place of business, not a job site. Customer is responsible for all costs of returning Product to a facility identified by Seller, including without limitation, any applicable common carrier charges. Any return from a Customer that is not within Seller’s or a carrier’s delivery area must be shipped back to Seller’s servicing warehouse prepaid by Customer. All Products are subject to inspection upon return to Seller, and any damaged portion will not be credited to Customer. Returns will NOT be accepted for the following Products: Sheet goods in an amount less than 20 square yards; Five cartons of tile or less; Drop-shipped, special orders and non-stock Products; Improperly packaged or open/broken cartons of Product; and Products valued at less than $50.00. No Warranty or Liability. Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the Products whatsoever, including, without limitation, with respect to the suitability, reliability, availability, safety or accuracy of Products. All Products are provided “As Is,” without warranty or condition of any kind, and Customer assumes the entire risk as to quality, safety, performance or otherwise. Seller expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that may arise from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. In all circumstances, and notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, the maximum liability in the aggregate, of Seller, its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates to Customer for any and all claims, losses, costs or damages whatsoever regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, including but not limited to, negligence, professional errors or omissions, strict liability, breach of contract or warranty, express, implied or otherwise, shall not exceed the purchase price received by Seller for the Products at issue. In no event shall Seller be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages, loss of goodwill, loss of use, lost profits, loss, damage or injury to any person or property or any damages in any way connected with the use of Products, or otherwise arising out of Products, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or other legal theory, even if Seller has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Assignment. The Terms are not assignable. None of the rights granted to Customer hereunder shall be assigned, subcontracted or otherwise transferred directly or by operation of law without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may withhold in its absolute discretion. Nothing herein shall confer on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy whatsoever. Binding Effect. The Terms shall be binding on the successors and permitted assigns of Seller and Customer. Entirety of Contract; Waiver. The Terms constitute the full understanding of Seller and Customer, and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. No waiver by either Seller or Customer in respect of any breach or default of any right or remedy hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a continuing waiver of any other breach or default or any other right or remedy hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing signed by both parties. Disputes. Any dispute or claim by Customer for defective or deficient Products, or any other alleged breach of the Terms by Seller, shall be first submitted to mediation and then to arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. Customer is required to commence such arbitration within one (1) year from delivery of the Products, otherwise any such claim is deemed waived and barred. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications shall be in writing and addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth in the purchase order. All notices shall be delivered by hand delivery or nationally recognized overnight courier, in each case, postage prepaid. Severability. If any term or provision of the Terms is invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of the Terms or render such provision unenforceable in another jurisdiction. Survival. The Terms remain in force after delivery of the Products. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and performance of the Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these terms and conditions or the website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these terms and conditions in your country of residence or any other relevant country. Customer waives any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over Customer by such courts and to venue in such courts.
