Sales Order Terms and Conditions

Review Date: 06/27/2023

1. Controlling Terms and Conditions. Acceptance of the Invoice is expressly limited to the terms and conditions stated herein and any additional or different term or condition on Buyer’s purchase order or acknowledgement form or otherwise communicated or proposed by Buyer is hereby objected to and rejected by Seller. Any such term or condition shall be totally inapplicable to the Invoice unless specifically agreed to in writing signed by an authorized representative of Seller. Shipment of the Goods covered by the Invoice shall not constitute acceptance by Seller of Buyer’s terms and conditions. Any correspondence, proposal, purchase order or other communication from Buyer characterized as an offer is hereby rejected in full, and in such situation the Invoice constitutes Seller’s counter-offer.

2. Acceptance. The Invoice is an offer to sell the goods and perform the services as set forth on the face hereof (the “Goods”). Buyer shall immediately and irrevocably accept the Goods when tendered and shall, in the case of nonconforming Goods, follow only the procedures and remedies outlined in the Invoice. If Buyer refuses to accept such Goods, Seller shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to it pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and all other applicable laws related to the sale of goods in the jurisdiction where the Goods are sold. Upon acceptance, the Invoice shall constitute the entire agreement between the Seller and the Buyer with respect to the Goods.

3. Changes; Taxes. The quantities, prices, terms, conditions or other pertinent specifications of the Invoice shall not be changed except by Seller's written authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that all prices for the Goods, whether quoted or set forth in the Invoice shall be adjusted to Seller’s prices in effect at the time of shipment of the Goods. If transportation charges are included in the prices quoted or set forth in the Invoice, then any changes in such transportation charges shall be adjusted to the charges in effect at the time of the shipment of the Goods. Seller’s prices do not include sales, use, excise, value added, customs duties, or other similar taxes; therefore, the amount of any such present or future taxes applicable to the sale of the Goods, the use of the Goods by Buyer, or applicable to the shipping destination shall be paid by the Buyer.

4. Permissible Variations. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller, all Goods shall be produced in accordance with Seller’s standard practice. All Goods and materials incorporated into the Goods, including those produced to meet exact specifications, shall be subject to deviations and variations consistent with usages of the trade, manufacturing processes, testing and inspection.

5. Solvency and Credit Approval. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that by placing its order for the Goods Buyer hereby represents and warrants that Buyer is solvent. In the event that Buyer becomes insolvent before accepting the Goods, it will notify Seller in writing of such insolvency. Failure to notify Seller shall constitute a written reaffirmation of Buyer’s solvency at the time of acceptance. Ordering, shipment and deliveries shall at all times be subject to Seller’s approval (in Seller’s sole discretion) of Buyer’s creditworthiness. If at any time Seller believes that its prospect of receiving payment from Buyer has been impaired, or if Buyer is insolvent or has repudiated its agreement with Seller or failed to make payment in full for any prior installment, then Seller may at any time, at Seller’s sole option do all or any of the following: (i) decline to make any shipment or delivery of Goods except upon receipt of prior payment or security, or upon such other terms and conditions as determined in Seller’s sole discretion; (ii) suspend production until any payments are received by Seller; or (iii) stop delivery of Goods at any time prior to delivery to Buyer. In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to make any further shipments of Goods until all payments for prior shipments have been received by Seller.

6. Payment, F.C.A., Title and Risk of Loss. Payment shall be made by Buyer in United States dollars or other medium acceptable to Seller. Payment shall be made by Buyer upon Seller’s presentation of the Invoice to Buyer, subject to the terms and conditions of payment stated herein. Unless otherwise stated in the quotation, seller’s prices are quoted F.C.A. Sunnen Products Company, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Incoterms 2020 (at the location indicated on the face of the Invoice) unless otherwise stated on the face of the Invoice. The risk of loss or damage to the Goods shall pass to Buyer at the F.C.A. point, Seller’s warehouse (at the location indicated on the face of the Invoice). Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to the Goods shall transfer to Buyer on delivery at Buyer’s designated shipping destination.

7. Machine Acceptance Delay. For goods which require acceptance or runoff of the goods at Sunnen Products Company (Sunnen) prior to shipment, if customer has been notified Sunnen is prepared for acceptance/runoff at Sunnen, and such acceptance cannot be performed due to customer delays, any progress payments which are due prior to shipment will be invoiced after 30 days of said notification.  Payment is due net 30 days or prior to shipment from Sunnen, whichever occurs first.  If acceptance/runoff is delayed beyond 30 days, due to no fault of Sunnen, the Customer agrees to pay Sunnen a delayed shipment charge of  0.5% percent of the purchase price for every day the runoff is delayed. This will be invoiced at the time of acceptance, due net 30 days.

8. Shipment Authorization Delay. Upon notification that the goods are ready for shipment from Sunnen Products Company (Sunnen), if the customer fails to authorize shipment within 14 days, due to no fault of Sunnen, the Customer agrees to pay Sunnen a delayed shipment charge of  0.5% percent of the purchase price of those goods for every day the shipment of the goods is delayed, starting 15 days from the date of notification.

9. Delivery; Force Majeure. Each delivery of Goods shall stand as a separate sale and is subject to credit arrangements in accordance with Section 5.

Seller may make partial delivery of Buyer’s order shown on the Invoice or may distribute the available supply of Seller among any or all purchases on such basis as it may deem appropriate without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom. In the event of any such delay or failure, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period of time equal to the time lost by reason thereof.

10. Limited Warranty. For a period of twelve (12) months for consumables and (3) years for machines from the date of delivery of the Goods to the F.C.A. point, the Seller warrants to the original Buyer of the Goods that: (i) all Goods provided for under the Invoice will conform to the requirements of the Invoice; and (ii) at the time of delivery of the Goods, the Goods will be free of defects in materials and workmanship. Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to extend the length of the applicable warranty period by delivering notice in writing to Buyer setting out the length of such extension and any other terms and conditions applicable thereto (including all costs and expenses related thereto). This warranty does not cover any defects or costs caused by: (i) modification, alteration, repair, or service of the Goods by anyone other than Seller; (ii) physical abuse to, or misuse of, the Goods or their operation in an incorrect manner; (iii) any use of the Goods other than that for which they were intended; or (iv) damage during any shipment of the Goods.

ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, AND ANY REMEDY THAT, BUT FOR THE WARRANTY CONTAINED HEREIN, MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION OR OPERATION OF LAW, IS HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT SELLER’S LIABILITY AND BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), IN STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY BUYER, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF EQUIPMENT, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, COSTS OF RENTING REPLACEMENTS, AND OTHER ADDITIONAL EXPENSES, EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
