TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
-
Parties. These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”) are between Future Glass (“Seller”), and the business or individual (“Buyer”) that purchases a Future Glass branded product (“Product”) from Seller for the purpose of re-selling the Product to an end user customer (“Customer”). By placing an order for a Product from Seller, Buyer agrees to comply with and be bound by these Terms.
-
Applicability. These Terms apply to and govern all orders placed by Buyer and all purchases made by Buyer from Seller. These Terms shall prevail over any additional or inconsistent terms of Buyer’s purchase order or any other Buyer documents or communications. Additional or different terms and conditions purporting to alter or modify these Terms are expressly rejected by Seller and shall not be binding upon Seller. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
-
Orders. No order is binding on Seller unless and until the order is accepted by Seller as evidenced by an order confirmation or other acknowledgment from Seller stating that the order has been accepted or will be fulfilled.
-
Prices. The prices for Products shall be as set forth online at futureglass.us. Seller reserves the right to change prices at any time without notice. The new price will apply to all orders received after the change in price. Orders placed and accepted by Seller before the price change will receive the price in effect before the change. Any mathematical, publishing, clerical, or other errors are not binding on Seller. Prices shown do not include any sales, excise, or other governmental tax or charge. Any such applicable taxes and charges will be added to the purchase price and paid by Buyer unless Buyer has provided Seller with an acceptable tax exemption certificate.
-
Payments. Buyer shall pay the full amount of the purchase at the time of placing the order, unless Buyer has a credit account in good standing with Seller. If Buyer has a credit account in good standing with Seller, Seller shall issue Buyer an invoice for amounts due pursuant to the terms of the credit account extended by Seller. Buyer shall pay the amount of the invoice in full within the time period specified for payment in the invoice, or if no time period is specified on the invoice, within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. If Buyer fails to pay any amount when due or to comply with any other terms applicable to Buyer, Seller may, in its sole discretion and in addition to all other remedies available to Seller, suspend or cancel all of Buyer’s pending orders, terminate all credit privileges, discontinue shipping any jobs in progress, and declare the entire unpaid balance owed by Buyer to Seller to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all credit orders are subject to Seller’s continuing approval of Buyer’s credit. Seller, in its sole discretion, may suspend or cancel performance, or require different payment terms, including, but not limited to, cash on delivery or in advance of shipment. In addition, Seller may, in its discretion, require an advance deposit of up to 100% of the sales price for any specially-manufactured Products ordered by Buyer. All payments by Buyer shall be made in United States Dollars and be made via the payment method specified by Seller.
-
Late Payments and Returned Checks. Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Returned checks are subject to a service charge in an amount not to exceed applicable law. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments or unpaid amounts, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.
-
Shipment. Seller will ship Products to Buyer using the shipping method and carrier selected by Seller. Seller will use its own shipping account to arrange for and pay for shipping products to Buyer; provided that Seller may, in its discretion, agree to use Buyer’s shipping account and/or carrier. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the costs of shipping paid by Seller which may be added to the invoice or otherwise billed by Seller. Title and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at the delivery location for Products shipped on Seller’s account and at the FOB Point for Products shipped on Buyer’s account. If Products are damaged during shipment on Seller’s account, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of such damage within five (5) business days of delivery of the damaged Products to Buyer, in which case Seller shall in its discretion (a) replace the damaged Product(s) or (b) refund or credit the price of the damaged Product(s). Seller may allow Products to be picked up by Buyer at Seller’s location in its discretion. Partial shipments are permitted at Seller’s discretion. Delivery dates are only estimates and are not guaranteed.
-
Inspection. Buyer shall inspect the Products within five (5) business days of delivery or Buyer’s pickup at Seller’s location, as applicable (“Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Products unless it notifies Seller in writing during the Inspection Period of any (a) Products damaged during shipping on Seller’s account pursuant to Section 7 (Shipment) above or (b) Nonconforming Products and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller. “Nonconforming Products” means only the following: the Products shipped are different than identified in Buyer’s order; or the Product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Products, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, replace such Nonconforming Products with conforming Products, or credit or refund the price for such Nonconforming Products, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Products to the location specified by Seller. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Products, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Products, ship to Buyer, at Seller’s expense, the replaced Products to Buyer’s delivery location. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this paragraph are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products.
-
Changes and Returns. Any requested changes in Product, quantities, destination, shipping schedules, or any other aspect of the Products are not binding on Seller unless agreed to in writing by Seller in its discretion and may result in price, delivery, and other adjustments by Seller. Products that have not been used, that are in their original condition, and have their original packaging may be returned within sixty (60) days from the delivery date. Buyer shall pay for the cost of shipping returned Products back to Seller. Seller reserves the right to charge a re-stocking fee on returned Products in Seller’s discretion.
-
Security Interest. To secure payment and performance of all obligations, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a continuing purchase money security interest in all Products, whenever sold, consigned or delivered, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of Buyer by Seller, wherever located, and all proceeds from the sale thereof until Buyer pays Seller in full for such Products. Seller’s purchase money security interest is explicitly limited to outstanding obligations between Buyer and Seller. Seller authorizes Buyer to file a financing statement for the Products in the filing office of any jurisdiction(s) Seller deems to be appropriate. Buyer waives its right to receive a verification statement evidencing the registration of a UCC financing statement or UCC change statement.
