STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE . . . |

|
This
Sales Agreement ("Agreement") with AMC Industries, Inc.
("AMC") is subject to the following terms and conditions, which
are incorporated in and made a part of the Agreement. 1.
Acceptance. This
Agreement, initially prepared as a quote by AMC, is subject to assent by
the customer ("Buyer") to all terms herein to which Buyer has
previously objected (if any), or which materially alter any terms proposed
by Buyer (if any) covering the subject matter of this confirmation.
Upon such acceptance the quote will become a binding agreement,
subject, however, to price adjustment under Paragraph 3 below.
Moreover, Buyer's
acceptance of any part of the Goods sold hereunder, (the
"Goods") any payment by Buyer for such Goods, or any other form
of acceptance by Buyer, shall constitute Buyer's acceptance of all terms
and conditions herein. Descriptions,
specifications, information and other data concerning AMC's products
contained in AMC's catalogs, circulars, advertisements, price lists, or
similar promotional materials or representations or statements thereof
made by AMC's representatives or sales agents are AMC's estimates and
approximations only, and shall not be binding except as and to the extent
expressly agreed to by AMC. AMC
objects to any terms and conditions proposed by Buyer which vary the terms
hereof. 2.
Cancellation. An
order once placed with and accepted by AMC can be cancelled by Buyer only
with the written consent of AMC and upon the terms that will indemnify AMC
against any loss. 3.
Price Adjustment. Prices
are based upon material, production, and manufacturing costs as of the
Contract Date and upon duty, surcharge, tariff and similar import or
export charges and currency exchange rates in effect on the Contract Date.
Should there be changes adverse to AMC in such prices, charges or
rates occur, AMC reserves the right to adjust prices accordingly.
AMC's quotes are not binding upon AMC unless AMC expressly agrees
in writing that they are not subject to change. 4.
Delivery, Shipment, Security Interest, Risk of Loss, and Claims. Delivery
of Goods shall be F.O.B. at Temple Terrace, Florida unless otherwise
specified by AMC. AMC may, at
its option, ship all of the Goods at one time or in portions from time to
time. AMC will attempt to
ship Goods for delivery on or about the times stated on the face hereof,
although time shall not be of the essence in this contract.
In the absence of instructions from Buyer, AMC shall have absolute
discretion as to mode and routing of shipment.
Until Buyer has paid in full for all Goods, Buyer grants to AMC a
security interest in all Goods and to the proceeds thereof.
Buyer shall execute and deliver any financing statements or other
documents that AMC may reasonably require for the perfection of such
security interest and Buyer hereby authorizes AMC to do all other acts
reasonably necessary for the establishment, perfection, preservation, and
enforcement of its security interest.
Risk of loss of the Goods shall pass to Buyer upon loading with
carrier. Buyer shall have all
responsibility for and expense of preparing and filing claims against
carriers for loss or damage to Goods in transit unless AMC otherwise
requires or agrees. 5.
Taxes. Buyer
shall pay all privilege, occupation, personal property, sales, excise, use
and other taxes applicable to the sale, purchase, storage, erection, use
or ownership of the Goods covered hereby, regardless of whether such taxes
are invoiced by AMC. 6.
Payment Terms. Unless
otherwise agreed, the net price amount for Goods purchased, payment for
installation charges and reimbursement for any company charges or taxes
paid by AMC, shall be due and payable by the Buyer immediately upon
receipt of AMC's invoice. Invoices
not paid within thirty (30) days after the date of AMC's invoice will be
subject to carrying charges. Carrying
charges shall accrue in the amount of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%)
per month (18% per annum) on any overdue unpaid balance.
AMC's invoice shall constitute an "evidence of
indebtedness" as that term is related to the recovery of attorney's
fees. Buyer shall reimburse
AMC for the costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees of
any overdue amount owed by Buyer to AMC and such collection costs shall be
added to Buyer's indebtedness subject to the aforementioned carrying
charges. If, in AMC's
opinion, Buyer's financial condition at any time does not justify
continuance of the production or shipment on the terms of payment herein
specified, AMC may require full or partial payment in advance.
All payments shall not be deemed to have been made until so
received by AMC. 7.
Installation of Goods. Unless
otherwise agreed or specified on the front this quote, prices do not
include product erection or installation which shall be Buyer's
responsibility and expense. Buyer
may obtain erection or installation service and assistance from AMC
pursuant to a separately negotiated agreement, provided, however, that
nothing in the Agreement shall obligate AMC to enter into any such
agreement with Buyer except upon terms and conditions acceptable to AMC.
The limited warranty as provided for in Paragraph 10 shall apply
only to Goods erected or installed by AMC or under AMC's supervision, or
by some person or organization expressly approved and authorized in
writing by AMC to perform such erection or installation.
In the event any Goods or Good is not thus erected or installed,
any such limited warranty shall terminate immediately upon erection or
installation or expiration of Buyer's 10-day inspection period as provided
for in Paragraph 12. Further,
any such limited warranty provided for in Paragraph 10 or any other
warranty in connection with the erection or installation of any Good or
Goods shall be subject to and conditioned upon Buyer (or owner of the
premises at which the Good or Goods are being erected or installed (the
"Premises")) having installed deadwood/blocking within the walls
of the Premises sufficient and appropriate for booth table support.
Buyer represents and warrants that such sufficient and appropriate
deadwood/blocking shall be in place prior to any erection or installation
work by AMC. Buyer will
indemnify and hold AMC harmless from any and all loss, damage, expense or
costs incurred by AMC, including but not limited to any attorneys' fees
and costs (including but not limited to paralegals' fees) arising from or
in connection with Buyer's breach of the foregoing representation and
warranty in this Paragraph. AMC
accepts no responsibility for material and equipment or for the acts of
persons furnished by Buyer. 8.
Force Majeure. AMC
shall have no liability for any non-performance or delay in performance
caused by circumstances beyond AMC's control, including, but not limited
to, acts of God, fire, flood, war, government action, accident, labor
trouble or shortage, inability to obtain material, equipment or
transportation, or failure of AMC's suppliers to furnish necessary parts
or products for production of completion of the Goods or the Goods
themselves. 9.
Compliance with Laws. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed in writing signed by AMC and Buyer, AMC shall
not be liable to Buyer for, and Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend and
hold AMC harmless from, any liability arising or alleged to arise out of,
any failure of the Goods to conform to any federal, state, or local law,
order, regulation, or standard. If local regulations require inspection,
the cost of the inspection and any modification(s) to the Goods is the
responsibility of the Buyer. 10.
Remedies of Buyer and Limitation of Warranties. AMC
warrants that the Goods shall be free from defects in materials and
manufacture at the time of delivery to Buyer.
AMC may, at its option, repair or replace any defect, or pay the
reasonable cost thereof, for any such defects for which notice is given to
AMC within thirty (30) days after discovery of such defect by Buyer, but
not later than six (6) months after delivery of the Goods to Buyer.
AMC shall have no obligation to remedy any defect except upon
delivery, at Buyer's expense, of the defective part or parts to AMC at
AMC's office in Temple Terrace, Florida. The repair, replacement or
payment in the manner described above shall be the exclusive remedy of
Buyer for breach of AMC's warranty. AMC
disclaims all other warranties whatsoever, express or implied, including
all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall AMC be liable for any consequential,
incidental, special or indirect damages whatsoever (including without
limitation personal injury, property damage, lost profits or other
economic injury) even if AMC has been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Buyer shall have no
right of rejection or revocation of acceptance against AMC for any part or
all of the Goods. Normal
wear, tear, and deterioration during use shall not constitute a defect in
material or manufacture under this limited warranty.
In no event is AMC liable for any damages or loss attributable to
incorrect use or abuse of the Goods, including but not limited to,
inadequate or improper maintenance or unauthorized alteration, whether or
not such alteration is necessary or recommended for the Good to conform
with laws under Paragraph 9 above. The
foregoing warranty of AMC shall not limit Buyer's recourse against a
manufacturer of Goods sold hereunder for any warranty extended by such
manufacturer. As to any Goods
not manufactured by us, the warranty of any manufacturer or other third
party shall not be deemed to be the warranty of AMC. 11.
No Liability to Third Persons. AMC
shall in no way be liable to Buyer for any claim or action by any third
person arising out of or alleged to arise out of the delivery of Goods
covered by this Agreement or out of the presence of AMC's employees on
Buyer's premises in connection with this Agreement, or out of the use, by
Buyer or third persons, of the Goods.
"Third persons" shall include, without limitation,
employees of both Buyer and AMC as well as all third persons not connected
with Buyer or AMC. 12.
Statute of Limitations, Claims. No
suit may be brought by Buyer for any breach by AMC or any other claim
arising out of this contract after two (2) years from the date of delivery
of the Goods. No later than
ten (10) business days after receipt by Buyer of Goods sold, Buyer must
deliver to AMC written notice of any claim based upon the condition,
quantity, or grade of the Goods sold or of any claimed nonconformity with
Buyer's specifications, which notice must indicate the basis of Buyer's
claim in detail. The failure
of Buyer to comply with this Paragraph 12 shall constitute irrevocable
acceptance of the Goods by the Buyer and bind it to pay to AMC the full
price of the Goods. 13.
Waiver of Claims or Defenses Against Secured Parties. Buyer
agrees that it will not assert against any party having a security
interest in any contract between Buyer and AMC, or in the inventory or
accounts of AMC, or against any other assignee of any such contract,
accounts, or inventory, any claim or defense that Buyer may have against
AMC. 14.
Governing Law, Venue, Jurisdiction. This
contract shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Florida, and
any action arising out of it shall be governed by the law of the State of
Florida. Any action arising
out of this contract may be brought only in a state or federal court
siting in the County of Hillsborough, State of Florida.
Buyer consents that such courts shall have personal jurisdiction
over Buyer with respect to any such action. 15.
Waiver Failure
to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such term,
covenant or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of any right
or remedy at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of
such right or remedy at any other time or times. 16.
Entire Agreement; Modification. The
provisions of this Agreement, including the standard terms and conditions
of sale, are intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
of the agreement between AMC and Buyer.
This Agreement may not be modified, rescinded, or cancelled, and no
waiver by AMC of any claim or right hereunder shall be effective, except
by writing signed by an officer of AMC. |
