Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. Application of Terms and Conditions of Sale
These terms and conditions of sale (“Terms”) shall apply to any quote, purchase order, order acknowledgement, invoice and any other document used to place an order (“Order”, the Terms and Order together referred to as the “Agreement”) which is issued or accepted by either party for the sale by Vendor of Goods to Purchaser, to the entire exclusion of all other terms and conditions. The Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Purchaser and Vendor with respect to the Goods. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and any other part of an Order, these Terms shall prevail. No additional or differing terms communicated by Purchaser shall be binding and Vendor shall not be deemed to accept any such other terms for failure to object to them in any communication received from Purchaser. Any purchase order or other document sent by Purchaser to Vendor shall be for its own internal purposes and shall not constitute part of the agreement between the Parties.

2. Price and Payment
The purchase price (“Price”) for the Goods shall be specified on the Order. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Price is to be paid in Canadian dollars. The Price is payable without offset, back charge, retention, holdback or withholding of any kind. The Price is subject to adjustment to reflect Vendor’s prices in effect at the time of shipping and is subject to change. All quotations are subject to change without notice and prior to delivery of Goods. All invoices are due 30 days after the date of Vendor’s invoice, with an interest charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) applying on past due invoices. If Purchaser defaults on any payment when due or refuses to accept delivery or becomes insolvent, Vendor may at its option, without prejudice to other lawful remedies, defer deliveries or cancel the remainder of the Order under the Agreement. Goods held for Purchaser shall be at the risk and expense of Purchaser. If Purchaser’s financial condition is or becomes unsatisfactory to Vendor, Vendor reserves the right to cancel or delay the Contract or shipment at any time prior to delivery of the Goods without further obligation or liability on Vendor’s part.

3. Taxes
The Price is subject to all applicable customs duties, import duties, excise taxes, value added taxes (including HST, or GST, as applicable), sales taxes (PST) if applicable and any other taxes, charges or levies levied by any governmental authority (“Taxes”). Vendor may add to the Price any applicable Taxes; however, Purchaser is responsible for payment of all taxes, duties and charges and Vendor’s failure to charge or collect any Tax shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligation for payment of Taxes.

4. Title, Delivery and Inspection
4.1 Title and Delivery. Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Goods shall be delivered free carrier (FCA) Vendor’s location. Title, ownership and risk of loss or damage to the Goods shall pass to Purchaser immediately upon Vendor packaging the Goods unless otherwise specified as being on delivery. The date of delivery of Goods is an estimate based upon, among other things, availability and production schedules. Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Goods within the time agreed but shall in no circumstance be liable for any loss or damage, consequential or otherwise, caused directly or indirectly by any delay in delivery.
4.2 Inspection. Purchaser is obligated to inspect the Goods as promptly as practicable upon receipt thereof. Purchaser shall notify Vendor of any visible defects, quantity shortages or incorrect product shipments within 10 days of receipt. Failure to notify Vendor in writing of any visible defects in the Goods or of quantity shortages or incorrect shipments within such period shall be deemed a waiver of any rights to return Goods or to not pay for the Goods on the basis of visible defects, shortages or incorrect shipments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless Purchaser notifies Vendor, within 10 days of delivery by Vendor to Purchaser of an invoice relating to Goods, that Goods have not been received or that the Price is incorrect, the invoice shall, as against Purchaser, be deemed to be final as to Goods delivered and the Price.

5. Cancellation or Changes
Purchaser expressly acknowledges that all Orders are firm and no Order may be cancelled or altered, in whole or in part, by Purchaser unless Vendor agrees in writing. Vendor’s interpretation of a verbal Order shall be final and binding in the absence of a written confirmation. For any Vendor-approved change, Vendor shall receive payment in full from Purchaser of all costs committed or incurred to the time of the change. Any changes to an Order requested by Purchaser may affect or delay the delivery and the Price of the Goods and must be agreed to by the Parties in writing and signed by Vendor.

6. Acknowledgment and Limited Warranty
6.1 Acknowledgment. Purchaser expressly acknowledges that: (i) Vendor is solely a distributor of Goods and that Vendor does not manufacture the Goods nor does Vendor test the properties or integrity of the Goods; and (ii) it may consult with Vendor’s employees for assistance, recommendations or instructions in selecting Goods, but that it is solely Purchaser’s responsibility to determine the appropriate specifications and materials for its particular purpose.

The warranties contained in this section 6.2, constitute the sole and exclusive warranties in respect of the Goods and the Parties expressly disclaim any and all other representations, warranties, conditions, covenants, guarantees and/or assurances, whether based in tort, contract, law equity or otherwise or arising from a course of conduct, dealing or trade including without limitation, any implied representations, warranties, conditions, covenants and/or guarantees as to merchantability, merchantable quality or fitness for purpose.

In the event Vendor is found to have any liability for any reason whatsoever regardless of whether such liability arises in tort, contract, law, equity or otherwise, the maximum aggregate liability of Vendor to Purchaser shall be limited in all circumstances to the price paid by purchaser to Vendor for such Goods in the specific transaction giving rise to the damage or loss. The limitation of liability is a condition to the sale of the Goods by Vendor. The Parties acknowledge that the price payable for the goods would have been substantially greater in the absence of this limitation of liability which shall apply in all circumstances.

Where Purchaser has supplied the design for all or any part of the Goods, Purchaser also agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vendor from any against and any loss, damages, expenses, claims, repairs, suits, causes of action or judgments whether direct or indirect arising from or in connection with any claim that the Goods or any part thereof infringe any patent, industrial design or any other intellectual property right.
