The Terms control to the exclusion of any additional or conflicting terms proposed by or received from Customer, unless expressly accepted in writing by HGO. The Uniform Commercial Code’s “battle of the forms” does not apply to the transactions between the Parties. 2. Individual Sales & Purchases. Upon Customer’s request, HGO may, at its sole discretion, issue a written sales order setting forth additional terms (time, price, quantity, method of shipment and delivery date) upon which HGO agrees to sell a specific allotment of products to Customer (“HGO Sales Order”). HGO is not obligated to issue an HGO Sales Order to Customer nor is Customer obligated to accept an HGO Sales Order. However, an HGO Sales Order becomes binding on Customer when accepted by the Customer. Each HGO Sales Order is governed by, and incorporates, all of the Terms. To the extent any term in an HGO Sales Order is inconsistent with the Terms, the Terms control.By executing an HGO Sales Order, Customer agrees to purchase the types and quantities of products described in an order pursuant to the Terms and any specific terms contained in the order. At its election, Customer may take delivery of the total quantity of the products purchased in lots of minimum sizes or larger as described in the specific terms of the order. HGO is deemed to have satisfied all of its obligations to Customer when the entire quantity of products identified in an HGO Sales Order is made available to Customer for pick up at HGO’s dock at the facility set forth in the order (the “HGO Dock”). 3. Commercial Purpose. Customer represents that the products purchased from HGO are not for personal, family or household use and that Customer is a merchant with respect to the products purchased from HGO. 4. Prices and Other Charges. Products will be sold at prices quoted and accepted in the HGO Sales Order (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is valid only for the period of time specified in the applicable Sales Order. Thereafter, the Purchase Price is subject to change or termination at HGO’s sole discretion and without notice to Customer.Prices are based on delivery to Customer FOB at the HGO Dock, and do not include shipping. Prices quoted by HGO are exclusive of sales, use or excise taxes, and/or other charges required to be paid or collected by HGO by any government authority with respect to the sale or end use of any products sold to Customer. All such charges shall be billed to and paid by Customer in addition to the Purchase Price of the products. 5. Modifications to an HGO Sales Order. A modification to an HGO Sales Order requested by Customer will be made only upon (i) HGO’s written acceptance of the request, and (ii) Customer’s acceptance of the corresponding adjustment of the Purchase Price on that order to reflect the cost to HGO of the modification, including without limitation the cost of additional Products, restocking fees, or additional handling. 6. Payments and Credit. Time is of the essence regarding Customer’s payment for the products. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by HGO, Customer will pay HGO the full Purchase Price without set off for delivered products no later than thirty (30) days following delivery at the HGO Dock. Delinquent payments will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month until paid. At HGO’s discretion, any sums received from Customer may first be applied to accrued but unpaid interest owed. Accrued interest is due immediately upon demand by HGO. Customer agrees to pay all costs of collection including attorney’s fees. HGO reserves the right to alter or suspend credit extended to Customer at any time without notice for any reason. Customer authorizes HGO to verify Customer’s credit worthiness at any time through contact with any credit information source or references. Upon termination of credit, Customer agrees to pay for all products in cash or equivalent on delivery. HGO also reserves the right to refuse to deliver an accepted order without receiving full in advance payment if HGO is not satisfied that Customer will make timely payment for the products.If Customer becomes insolvent or if any proceeding is brought by or against Customer under bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, creditor protection or similar laws, or if Customer ceases to pay its debts as they become due, or is dissolved or goes into liquidation, or decides to take such action, or has its assets attached, then, in addition to its remedies under ORS 72.7020, HGO may immediately cancel all agreements with Customer and any HGO Sales Order then outstanding, whether or not accepted, and shall receive reimbursement for its cancellation charges and costs incurred to date. 7. Delivery. Customer acknowledges HGO’s delivery of the product is dependent on harvest, which can fluctuate depending on the weather and other factors. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by HGO, there are no firm delivery dates for the products purchased pursuant to an HGO Sales Order. HGO will make commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the product to Customer after it has been harvested. HGO is deemed to have completed delivery when the entire quantity of products identified in an HGO Sales Order is made available to Customer for pick up at the HGO’s Dock. HGO’s weights and grades govern, unless official weights and grades are available,and Customer pays for the same to be determined. HGO shall not be liable for failure or delay in delivering products to Customer due to any cause beyond its control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of war, acts of civil or military authority, fires, floods, sabotage, accidents, labor disputes, shortages, third party delays, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (whether valid or invalid), or inability to obtain products from growers, transportation, or other necessary services.Packaging other than HGO’s standard for the type of product purchased shall be the sole responsibility of and chargeable to Customer.
