1. Acceptance of Orders and Governing Terms
All quotations, order acknowledgements, sales, and deliveries by Seller are subject to these Terms.
Buyer’s submission of a purchase order constitutes an offer to purchase products from Seller. Seller may accept or reject any purchase order in its discretion. An order becomes binding upon Seller only when accepted through Seller’s written order acknowledgement or other express written acceptance by an authorized representative.
Seller’s acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms and any additional or different terms expressly agreed to in writing by Seller.
Any additional, conflicting, or different terms contained in Buyer’s purchase order, purchasing documents, supplier portals, or other communications are objected to and rejected unless expressly accepted in writing by an authorized representative of Seller.
Seller’s commencement of performance, shipment of products, or acceptance of payment shall not constitute acceptance of Buyer’s additional or conflicting terms.
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a separately negotiated written agreement signed by both parties, the signed agreement shall control to the extent of the conflict.
2. Quotations and Pricing
Unless otherwise specified, Seller’s quotations are valid for thirty (30) calendar days from the date of issuance.
Prices are based upon the quantities, specifications, delivery schedules, and other conditions identified in Seller’s quotation.

Following order acceptance, any price adjustment must be authorized by these Terms, agreed to by the parties, or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Prices exclude applicable sales, use, excise, value-added, and similar taxes, duties, and governmental charges, which shall be the responsibility of Buyer unless a valid exemption certificate is provided.

Overdue balances may accrue a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
Buyer shall be responsible for reasonable collection costs, including attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Buyer shall not withhold, deduct, or offset payments for unrelated claims without Seller’s prior written consent, except where prohibited by applicable law.

Claims for damage or loss occurring during transportation shall be made by Buyer directly with the carrier.
Seller may make partial shipments and invoice such shipments separately unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Delivery Schedules and Delays
All quoted and acknowledged delivery dates are estimates unless Seller expressly agrees in writing to a guaranteed delivery date.

Such circumstances may include material shortages, supplier delays, labor disruptions, equipment failures, transportation interruptions, natural disasters, governmental actions, or other events beyond Seller’s reasonable control.
Seller shall not be liable for lost profits, production interruptions, line shutdowns, expedited freight, or other incidental, indirect, special, or consequential damages resulting from delayed delivery, subject to applicable law.

6. Order Cancellation and Rescheduling
Orders accepted by Seller may not be canceled, reduced, or rescheduled by Buyer without Seller’s prior written consent.
If Seller agrees to a cancellation or reduction, Buyer shall be responsible for reasonable, documented costs incurred in connection with the affected order, including:
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs.
For custom-engineered, special-order, or nonstandard products, cancellation charges may equal the full purchase price of completed products plus applicable costs associated with unfinished quantities, not to exceed the unpaid contract value for the canceled portion unless otherwise agreed.
Requests to defer scheduled deliveries are subject to Seller’s written approval. Seller may assess reasonable storage, handling, financing, and administrative charges for approved delays.
