4. Seller may recover for each delivery hereunder as a separate transaction, without reference to any other delivery. If Buyer is in default with respect to any of the terms or conditions of this or any other contract with Seller, Seller may, at its option, defer further deliveries hereunder until such default be remedied (in which event, if Seller so elects, the contract period should be deemed extended by a time equal to that during which deliveries shall be so deferred), or, without prejudice to any other legal remedy, Seller may decline further performance hereof. Termination or suspension of contract or the retaking of materials under any of these conditions shall not prejudice any claims of Seller for price of materials furnished, or for damages other than the reduction of any such claims by the value to Seller of any materials retaken.

5. As to any goods sold hereunder, the Buyer releases Seller from any liability hereunder for personal injuries, known or unknown and damage to property real or personal caused by or arising from the goods sold hereunder and agrees not to sue Seller under any theory of strict liability in tort, negligence, contract or otherwise for any claim or demand for personal injuries and property damage which in any manner arises out of the sale, use, application, transportation or otherwise of the goods sold hereunder. The foregoing disclaimers of warranty and disclaimer of liability shall be binding upon the Buyer and any successors in title, assigns transferees and ultimate users.

No addition or conflicting provisions contained in any other communication from or with the Buyer will be considered to be part of this Agreement and receipt of a purchase order or other communication from Buyer will be considered an unconditional acceptance of the terms and conditions appearing hereon, without regard to any additional or conflicting terms proposed by Buyer.

7. A service charge/administrative fee of two percent per month will be charged on all overdue accounts, which shall be defined as all accounts remaining unpaid after thirty (30) days from the delivery of material to the Buyer, unless otherwise specified. In the event such rate should exceed the legally enforceable rate, Buyer will pay the maximum rate which is legal and enforceable. In the event Seller directs the use of legal remedies to collect payment, the Buyer agrees to pay to Seller all costs and expenses, including legal fees, incurred in the course of collection or pendency of the action.

This contract shall bind and inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, successors, heirs, and assigns of the parties hereto.

10. Delivery of materials to carriers at F.O.B. shipping point shall constitute delivery to Buyer and materials shall be at Buyer’s risk thereafter. In the event Seller is requested to make delivery to Buyer, insurance and collective bargaining agreements may preclude delivery beyond tailboard or the pavement of the nearest public road adjacent to Buyer’s designated premises and Seller assumes no obligation to deliver beyond these points. If delivery is made beyond these points, Buyer assumes responsibility for property damage or personal injury caused by and to delivery vehicle, and agrees to indemnify Seller against and hold it harmless from loss, damages, claims and liability including attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements.

11.

In the event of damage, defect, shortage or improper character of materials arising from error of the Seller, if Buyer shall give written notice by certified mail to Seller within three (3) days from receipt of the Buyer of the materials from the carrier, the Seller shall recondition or replace any such materials within reasonable time. Failure to give said three (3) days notice shall constitute waiver of any claim against Seller on account of any such damage, defect, shortage or improper character of materials.

No allowances will be made for labor, repairs, or alterations performed by the Buyer without the Seller’s written consent.

Orders for custom or non-stocked items are noncancellable and require prepayment in full for the amount equal to the sale price of those items. Failure to pick up the special order or custom material will not relieve Buyer of the responsibility of paying in full for the product.

17. Unless a specific agreement is reached in advance between Buyer and Seller, returns of material are not allowed once it has been removed from Seller’s premises. All returns will be assessed a minimum restocking fee of 25% of the sale amount of the returned items. Additional repackaging and/or delivery fees may also apply.
