The following Terms and Conditions of sale shall apply to the sale of the Products listed on the attached Sales Order and/or accompanying invoice between ARCHITECTURAL POLYMERS INC. (“Seller”) and the buyer whose name and address is set forth on the attached Sales Order and/or accompanying invoice (“Buyer”) (the following Terms and Conditions, together with the attached Sales Order and/or accompanying invoice, shall comprise this “Agreement”).

1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions. The acknowledgement and acceptance by Seller of Buyer’s order is made expressly conditional upon Buyer’s assent to all of the Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) contained herein and upon no other Terms. Buyer’s assent to the Terms shall be conclusively presumed from the first to occur of: (i) Buyer’s execution of any document containing the Terms; or (ii) Buyer’s acceptance of delivery of any Product ordered from Seller. Seller hereby objects to any terms or conditions at variance with, different from or additional to the Terms unless such terms and conditions are hereinafter set forth in a writing signed by Seller. Buyer acknowledges and warrants that the signatory on all documents relevant to this transaction is specifically authorized and legally permitted to execute said documentation on behalf of Buyer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no amendment, waiver, modification or deletion of any of the Terms shall be deemed effective unless such amendment, waiver, modification or deletion shall have been approved and accepted in writing by a duly authorized officer of Seller.

2. Products. Seller agrees to supply and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller those products (“Products”) listed on the attached Sales Order and/or accompanying invoice, subject to the Terms.

3. Prices. All prices will be quoted in U.S. Dollars FCA (Incoterms 2010) the Seller manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the prices specified do not include any taxes, and all such excise taxes, sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, customs fees, duties and other charges now or hereinafter applicable to this transaction shall be paid by Buyer. Shipping charges will be added onto the invoice when Buyer requests that the carrier be contracted by Seller. A handling charge may be added to the cost of all Products regardless of shipping method.

4. Shop Drawings.

•  4.1  Additional work beyond the scope of producing standard shop drawings may be charged to the Buyer at a rate of Forty-Eight Dollars ($48.00) per hour. Additions would include, but are not limited to:
  • Redrawing shop tickets due to errors in original documentation supplied by the Buyer.
  • Producing 2D line work and 3D models on products where the Buyer has previously agreed to supply CAD or 3D models, but cannot.
  • Services which are not directly related to the production of the form liner, i.e., elevation layouts and form assemblies showing the Buyer’s formwork at the request of the Buyer.
•  4.2  The Buyer agrees that quoted lead times are contingent on the date of approved Seller shop drawings by the Buyer and not the date of the Purchase Order.
•  4.3  The final approval of the Seller’s shop drawings will be the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

5. Payment Terms. Terms of payment are at the sole discretion of Seller and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, a non-refundable fifty percent (50%) down payment is required to process an order, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) shall be due and payable upon or prior to tender of delivery of the Products at the Seller facilities. Orders may not be cancelled under any circumstances except with Seller’s prior written approval. Seller may extend to Buyer credit terms as expressly set forth on the Sales Order. Failure to make payment in full within five (5) business days of tender of delivery or, if payment terms are granted, by the due date, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and shall result in interest being charged to Buyer at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum on the unpaid balance until paid in full. If such interest rate is found to be usurious under relevant law, interest shall be charged to Buyer at the highest rate allowed by law. Buyer shall pay all such principal and interest. In addition, Buyer shall pay Seller’s cost of collection for delinquent accounts, including Seller’s court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

6. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to the Products passes from Seller to Buyer at the time of shipment from Seller’s facility. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping is the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer shall notify Seller within five (5) business days after receipt of the Products regarding shipment shortages, defects or the receipt of non-conforming goods. Failure to do so will constitute conclusive proof that the Products were tendered at the Seller facilities without defect, error or fault.

7. Intellectual Property Rights. Seller reserves all patent, copyright, proprietary design, manufacturing, reproduction and sale rights to all products that Seller manufactures and sells. Buyer may not obtain trademark or copyright protection for any products, trademarks or other intellectual property sold by Seller.

8. Warranty; Warranty Period; and Limitation of Liability.

•       8.1.  Seller warrants that the Products shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship, including latent defects, as of the date that Buyer takes title to the Products (the “Warranty”). THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
•       8.2.  The Warranty shall be effective for the period beginning on the date that Buyer takes delivery of the Products and ending on the date thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Warranty Period”). Certain multiple “elastomeric formliner” Products may have a prorated usage warranty which may extend beyond the foregoing Warranty Period. In the event that the Products are found to be defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise not in conformity with the Terms, within the Warranty Period, Seller will promptly cure such defect or nonconformity, at its option, by repairing or replacing the defective or nonconforming Products, without cost or delay to Buyer. If such defect or nonconformity is not promptly cured, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be recovery of the full purchase price of the Products. BUYER EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THIS REMEDY CONTAINED IN SELLER’S WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, AND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY OTHER LOSSES OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONTINGENT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTIES, FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS VOID AND SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IF BUYER ALTERS OR MISUSES THE PRODUCTS, OR USES THE PRODUCTS IN A MANNER WHICH IS INCONSISTENT WITH SELLER’S GUIDELINES.

9. Force Majeure. Seller shall not be liable for any failure to perform under this Agreement resulting from any cause beyond the reasonable control of Seller, including but not limited to, an act of God; accident; telephone service provider problem; war; fire; lockout; strike or labor dispute; riot or civil commotion; act of the public enemy; enactment, rule, order or act of civil or military authority; or acts or omissions of any party, including Seller’s vendors.
