GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
All price lists, quotations, purchase order acceptances and sales issued or made by Glazers Choice (SELLER) with respect to any of the products sold by SELLER (GOODS) are subject to the
following terms and conditions and those contained on the reverse of this writing:
1. ACCEPTANCE: The offer of SELLER represented by a price list and/or quotation appearing on the reverse of this writing shall become a binding contract between the SELLER and any
offeree
(BUYER) only upon acceptance of the BUYER. Acceptance by BUYER shall be made either by written acknowledgement incorporating SELLER’S offer by reference, by issuance of a purchase order for
any GOODS described on the reverse or by acceptance of any GOODS described on the reverse. These GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE shall supersede any provisions, terms and
conditions contained on any confirmation order or other writing BUYER may give or receive, and the rights of the parties shall be governed exclusively by the provisions, terms and conditions
herein con-tained.
If SELLER’S quotation is accepted and the BUYER’S purchase order form is used for the purpose of acceptance, it is expressly understood and agreed that the terms and conditions herein set
forth
shall prevail insofar as the same may in any way conflict with the terms and conditions set forth in such purchase order form, and the issuance of such purchase order by the BUYER shall be
deemed to
denote the BUYER’S assent to the foregoing. If this writing has been issued by SELLER in response to a purchase order or other offer delivered by BUYER to SELLER and, if terms herein
are additional to or different from any terms of such offer, then the issuance of this writing by SELLER shall constitute an acceptance of BUYER’S offer, subject to the express condition that
the BUYER assent
to such additional and different terms herein and acknowledge that this writing constitutes the entire agreement between BUYER and SELLER with respect to the subject matter hereof and the
subject mat-ter
of such offer; and, BUYER shall be deemed to have so assented and acknowledged unless BUYER notifies SELLER to the contrary in writing within forty eight (48) hours of receipt of this
writing. In all
events, no term or condition proposed in any writing given by BUYER with respect to the purchase of GOODS which adds to, varies from or conflicts with this exclusive statement of the
terms and conditions of sale shall be effective unless in writing and executed by the authorized representatives of SELLER.
2. PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT: Any terms of payment set forth on the reverse side of this writing are payable accordingly from the date of SELLER’S invoice. Unless otherwise set forth
on the reverse side, payment in full for GOODS purchased by BUYER is due upon the receipt of SELLER’S invoice and all amounts remaining unpaid thirty (30) days thereafter shall bear interest
at the rate
of two percent (2%) per month (24% per year) until paid. If at any time, in SELLER’S opinion, BUYER’S credit becomes unsatisfactory, the terms of payment provided in this writing or on the
reverse of this
writing may be altered or terminated by SELLER and delivery of GOODS may be suspended by SELLER pending receipt of payment in full or other security satisfactory to SELLER. All prices are in
United
States dollars and are F.O. B., SELLER’S point of shipment and, unless otherwise stated, exclude cartage; insurance charges; sales, use, occupation, license, excise and other taxes in respect
of manufac-ture,
sale or delivery; and export and import duties, all of which shall be paid by BUYER, unless, in the case of sales taxes, a proper exemption certificate is furnished by BUYER to SELLER. SELLER
makes
no charge for standard packaging for domestic shipment. The BUYER will be invoiced by SELLER for export packaging or other special packaging required, the cost of which will be
quoted by SELLER upon request.
3. DELIVERY: GOODS purchased by BUYER may be shipped by SELLER in one or more lots. Unless otherwise expressly set forth on the reverse of this writing, delivery will be F.O.B. SELLER’S
point of shipment. BUYER assumes all responsibility for risk of loss and damage to the GOODS to be sold by SELLER to BUYER upon delivery to the carrier at SELLER’S point of shipment and no
such
loss or damage shall relieve BUYER of BUYER’S obligations to SELLER. Any prepayment by the SELLER of freight charges shall not affect the obligations of SELLER with respect to delivery but
will be for
the account of BUYER and will be included in the amount of SELLER’S invoice to be repaid by BUYER upon presentation thereof.
4. DELAYS: Any delivery date stated on the reverse of this writing is based upon conditions prevailing at the time of SELLER’S issuance of this writing. All delivery dates are
approximate and
are
subject to change upon notice from SELLER. In no event will SELLER be liable to BUYER for any loss or damage, whatsoever, direct, incidental or consequential, caused by delay in delivery. For
the pur-poses
of complying with the terms of any agreement between BUYER and SELLER, SELLER will not be responsible for reasonable or excusable delays, nor will BUYER refuse to accept delivery because
of any such decrees. The term “excusable delays” includes, without limitation, delays resulting from: fires; floods; weather; accidents; civil unrest; labor difficulties from whatever cause
arising; war or civil riots;
freight embargos or transportation delays; machine breakdown; inability to secure fuel, goods, supplies, labor or power at current prices or on account of shortage thereof; any existing or
future laws; acts,
regulations, order or delays of any agency or body governments of SELLER or BUYER affecting the conduct of SELLER’S business or the transaction contemplated hereby; or any other cause, similar
or
dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of SELLER. The term “reasonable delays” includes, without limitation, delays to which the BUYER, when notified, makes no objection. If delivery is
delayed or inter-rupted
by BUYER, either directly or indirectly, any additional costs, expenses or charges resulting therefrom shall be paid by BUYER to SELLER.
5. CANCELLATION: Any order or contract may be cancelled by BUYER only upon SELLER’S written consent and upon reimbursement of all applicable costs incurred resulting from commitments
made by SELLER. In no event are GOODS to be returned without first obtaining SELLER’S written consent.
6. QUOTATIONS AND PRICES: Written quotations automatically expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date issued and are subject to immediate termination upon notice by SELLER within
that
period. Prices appearing in SELLER’S price list are subject to change without notice and orders shipped more than thirty (30) days after the date of a purchase order issued by BUYER (unless
delay in ship-ment
is occasioned by SELLER’S unreasonable or inexcusable delay) will be invoiced at SELLER’S price for the GOODS in effect at the time of shipment.
7. TECHNICAL ADVICE: All recommendations, technical advice, or assistance furnished by SELLER concerning the characteristics, properties, or performance of the GOODS are based on data

its products and

assis-tance

assistance, or
the results obtained.
8. WARRANTIES: SELLER warrants the GOODS to conform to the specifications published by SELLER when used in accordance with application instructions provided by SELLER. BUYER and

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: In no event will SELLER by liable for anticipated profits or incidental or consequential damages suffered by BUYER. SELLER’S liability on any claim of any
