Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Buyer agrees to pay the full purchase price and other charges for the goods (“Goods”) described in this document. All purchase orders received by Durable Blast Parts (“Seller”) are subject to acceptance or rejection by Seller. Seller shall not be obligated to Buyer unless Seller accepts such purchase order in writing. Acceptance of these terms and conditions, orally or in writing, or acceptance of the subject Goods by Buyer, or Buyer’s acceptance of Seller’s quotation, shall evidence Buyer’s agreement to be bound by the following terms, covenants and conditions of sale, notwithstanding the terms set forth in Buyer’s purchase orders or any other document. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE TERMS OF THIS CONTRACT SHALL SUPERSEDE ANY TERMS CONTAINED ON BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER OR ANY DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT SUBMITTED BY BUYER.

Prices, Payment and Late Charges. Prices are F.O.B. point of shipment. All freight charges will be paid by Buyer. If such costs are prepaid by Seller, Buyer shall immediately reimburse Seller for such costs. In addition, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with excess packing shall be paid by Buyer. Full payment of the purchase price and other charges is due within thirty (30) days after invoice date. Each incremental shipment of Goods or other items covered by this order may be invoiced at the time of shipment in an amount proportionate to the total contract price. If full payment is not received by the applicable due date, Buyer agrees to pay Seller attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection incurred by Seller, and a monthly late charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of all outstanding amounts. Buyer understands that Seller may refuse to sell any Goods to Buyer until overdue accounts are paid in full. Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes, duties, customs and other fees of any nature imposed relating to this transaction, the Goods, or their construction, or inventory, or upon the manufacture, storage, sale, transportation, importation, delivery, use or consumption of the Goods, by any federal, state, local or foreign government authority including, without limitation, all state and local sales and use taxes and all taxes of a similar nature. In the event Seller is required to prepay any such tax, duty or fee, Buyer will reimburse Seller immediately.

Credit Approval. All orders are subject to approval of Buyer’s credit. If Buyer’s credit is not approved by Seller prior to shipment of the Goods, Seller may require, in its sole discretion, different terms of payment from those specified in this document, including, without limitation, requiring Buyer to pay Seller cash upon delivery, or to return the Goods to Seller at Buyer’s expense. Any such demand may be oral or in writing and Seller may, upon making such demand, stop production and suspend shipments hereunder. If within the period stated in such demand Buyer fails or refuses to agree to such different terms of payment or refuses to give adequate assurance of due performance, Seller may, at its option, treat such failure or refusal as a repudiation of the portion of this agreement which has not been fully performed or may resume production and make shipment under reservation of a security interest and may demand payment against tender of documents of title.

Telephone Orders. If the Goods are sold to Buyer as a result of a telephone order or under other circumstances when Buyer is not available to execute this agreement at the time the order is placed, Buyer agrees, in any event, to be bound by these terms and conditions of sale.

Delivery. Seller shall ship the Goods to the location designated by Buyer via commercial carrier at the earliest available shipment date.

Shipping date are estimates only. Changes in the shipping schedule by Buyer may at Sellers’ discretion result in an increase in the purchase price of the Goods.

Irrevocability. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may not have on hand in Sellers’ open stock all of the items purchased by Buyer and that Seller will be relying on Buyer’s agreement to purchase such items as a basis for Seller to enter into binding agreements with others for the delivery of such items. Because of Sellers’ reliance, Buyer agrees that Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Goods shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Buyer’s cancellation or refusal to accept the Goods shall be subject to such cancellation charges as Seller shall determine is appropriate, together with such other remedies as may be provided herein and under applicable law.

Seller’s Right to Substitute. Seller shall have the right to substitute Goods of comparable quality for Goods ordered by Buyer which are not currently in Seller’s open stock. The obligation of Seller to sell the Goods to Buyer is subject to prior sale, and if Seller is unable to furnish some or all of the Goods specified, Seller reserves the privilege to cancel such items and deduct the price thereof from the balance owed by Buyer.

Nonconforming Goods. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within ten (10) days after delivery of any nonconforming Goods or any deficiencies or shortages; otherwise all such claims shall be deemed waived by Buyer. The use or resale by Buyer of any Goods claimed to be nonconforming or deficient shall constitute acceptance of such items by Buyer. Buyer shall have no right to withhold payment of the purchase price or to adjust the amount of the purchase price because of any such claim. The sole remedy of Buyer shall be the replacement or repair by Seller, at Seller’s option, of nonconforming or deficient items, which remedy shall be in lieu of Buyer’s right to consequential damages or any other remedy available under applicable laws; provided, Seller shall have no obligation to replace or repair any such items if Buyer is in default under this agreement in any respect. Any Goods delivered to Buyer but not accepted shall be held and stored by Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner until returned by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s authorization, freight prepaid. Claims of Buyer for damages or loss of Goods during shipment shall be made solely against the carrier.

Title and Risk of Loss. Title to all goods and risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at the time the Goods are delivered to the carrier for shipment, or when delivered to the location specified by Buyer, whichever occurs first.

Assignment. No loss, injury, destruction, sale, transfer or pledge of all or a portion of the Goods shall release Buyer from Buyer’s obligations or operate to pass title to all or any portion of such Goods to any third party. Seller shall have the right to assign all or a portion of its rights under this agreement and such assignee shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of Seller without liability for any right of recoupment, setoff or counterclaim which Buyer may have against Seller.
