The following Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms of Sale”) are applicable to the sale of all products (the “Products”) by Floor Prep By Dependable (“Seller”), to any purchaser thereof (“Buyer”). All orders are subject to approval by Seller at its corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. Any amendment, waiver or other alteration of the Terms of Sale by Seller shall be effective only if made in a writing signed by a designated officer or director of Seller, and Buyer’s attempts to alter such Terms of Sale with printed purchase orders, acknowledgments or similar documentation shall be void.

1. Entire Agreement; Assent to and Acceptance of Terms of Sale. These Terms of Sale constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Seller and Buyer with respect to, and shall exclusively govern, the sale of the Products by Seller to Buyer in connection with or as contemplated by Seller’s written or oral proposals, quotations and sales to Buyer (any such item being a “Quotation”) and/or Buyer’s written or oral purchase orders or other communication to Seller related to the Products (any such item, written or oral, being a “Purchase Order”), and shall continue in effect until terminated in writing by Seller. The sales of Products contemplated by these Terms of Sale are “forward contracts” and Buyer and Seller are “forward contract merchants,” as those terms are used in the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions contained in a Quotation, invoice or final order acknowledgement and those contained in these Terms of Sale, the terms contained in these Terms of Sale shall govern. Notwithstanding any different or additional terms or conditions contained in a Purchase Order, Seller accepts Buyer’s order only on the condition that Buyer expressly accepts and assents to these Terms of Sale. Buyer’s order shall not be binding upon Seller unless and until such order is accepted by Seller in writing. In the absence of Buyer’s acceptance hereof, Seller’s commencement of performance or Seller’s acknowledgement of a Purchase Order shall be for Buyer’s convenience only and shall not be construed as Seller’s acceptance of any of different or additional terms contained in a Purchase Order. In addition, Buyer’s acceptance of any Products shall be deemed to be an acceptance of all of the Terms of Sale. Seller hereby objects to any additional, contradictory or different terms contained in any initial or subsequent Purchase Order from Buyer pertaining to the Products, including, but not limited to, any indemnification, remedy or warranty provisions. Seller’s failure to object specifically to provisions contained in any Purchase Order shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions contained in these Terms of Sale. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller’s rights and obligations hereunder will not be qualified by or subject to any vendor credentialing, code of conduct, or similar requirements imposed by Buyer upon any of its vendors or suppliers.
2. Payment. For purpose of payment, each shipment and invoice therefor shall be a separate sale. Payment is due and payable no later than net thirty (30) days from date of invoice (the “Due Date”). All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. Buyer’s outstanding unpaid balances shall be subject to a finance charge, until such outstanding amounts are paid in full, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum; or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. Buyer shall also pay Seller’s cost of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), regardless of whether or not suit is brought. Payments received may be applied by Seller against any obligation owed by Buyer to Seller. Seller may refuse or delay shipments if Buyer fails to pay promptly any payments due Seller. If Seller shall, in its sole discretion, deem itself to be insecure regarding Buyer’s ability to fulfill the terms of payment herein specified, whether due to Buyer’s financial condition, status as an international account, or any other reason, Seller may by notice to Buyer (i) require full or partial payment in advance of delivery or (ii) reduce the credit terms. Any authorized early payment discounts must be taken at the time of invoice payment and will be calculated from the invoice date to the date payment is received by Seller. To secure the payment of the purchase price of the Products sold hereunder, Buyer grants Seller a purchase money security interest in all Products sold hereunder whether constituting equipment, inventory, fixtures and/or general intangibles, including all accessions to and replacements thereof, and all proceeds thereof to perfect or continue the security interest created hereby. Seller shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, which remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive. Time is of the essence and, in addition to any other rights, Seller shall further have the right, at its option, to terminate any sale of Products without notice to Buyer if (i) payment is not made on the Due Date, (ii) Buyer becomes insolvent, or (iii) Buyer’s ability to pay debt in the normal course of business otherwise becomes impaired.
3. Prices; Taxes, Freight and Other Costs. Unless otherwise specified in a Quotation or other communication from Seller to Buyer, the price of Products shipped hereunder shall be an amount equal to Seller’s price on the date of shipment, and shall not include applicable Federal, State and local transactional costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, freight, taxes, duties, tariffs or other additional costs imposed by reason of the sale of the Products, which costs and expenses shall be the responsibility of Buyer.

Choice of carrier and shipping method and route shall be at the election of Seller. Seller shall have the right to deliver all Products covered hereby at one time or in partial shipments from time to time, within the agreed time for delivery. All delivery dates are approximate, and Seller shall not be liable for damages or costs which arise in connection with the delivery of goods after the date stated on any Quotation, Purchase Order or other document. Delivery dates are further dependent upon the prompt receipt by Seller of all information required by Seller to proceed with work immediately and without interruption.
5. Shipments; Shipment Quantities; Shortages. With respect to each shipment of Products, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice, which notice shall include date of delivery and shipping instructions. Seller shall not be required to deliver in any month more than the monthly quantity agreed, or if no monthly quantity is specified, more than the pro-rata amount of the maximum quantity specified, nor shall Seller be bound to tender delivery of any quantities for which Buyer has not given reasonable advance notice. If Buyer fails to accept delivery of the stipulated or minimum pro-rata quantity in any month, or fails to give such notice, Seller may, at its option, in addition to its other rights and remedies, cancel such deliveries or parts thereof. All Products shipped hereunder shall be subject to Seller’s usual tolerances and variations as to quantity. Unless Seller receives written notification of variances in quantity within sixty (60) days of the invoice date, the invoiced quantity shall be conclusive.
6. Inspection; Acceptance of Products. Upon receipt of Products, Buyer agrees to immediately inspect and/or test the Products.

Buyer shall permit Seller to inspect any damaged or otherwise nonconforming Products. Seller shall be under no obligation to notify Buyer of any changes to the processing, design, composition, or performance of its products, unless such change cause such products to be non-conforming in accordance with the terms hereof.

Any extra cost incurred by Seller to meet Buyer’s request for rescheduling/cancellation will be Buyer’s responsibility.
8. Force Majeure.
