If the terms of this form or Seller’s acknowledgement differ from Buyer’s order, Seller’s form shall be a counter-offer and not an acceptance unless Buyer assents hereto, which shall be expressly limited to these terms. Buyer’s ordering or accepting goods shall constitute such assent. Any term stated by Buyer differing from the terms hereof is a material alteration hereof and is hereby objected to. No act or omission of Seller shall waive these conditions.

All taxes and increases in cost to Seller, resulting from present or future laws or other government act shall be Buyer’s responsibility.

Allowance shall not exceed the allocable contract price of defective containers. Replacement of defective items or issuance of credit in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any claim, whether based on contract, warranty, tort, strict liability or otherwise.

Buyer assumes all risk and liability for results obtained by the use of the articles sold hereunder.
All goods shall be subject to reasonable variations, as to quantities, and shall be within the standard tolerance limits specified by S.P.I. where applicable, as to capacity, heights, diameter, thickness, width, and weight. Seller shall be allowed variation in quantity of ten percent (10%) over or under.
Prices are based upon Seller’s standard shades and colors. Seller will charge extra for special shades and colors. Seller will duplicate requested shades and colors as nearly as practicable, but exact duplication is not guaranteed. If Buyer has designated raw materials or components, Seller reserves the right to substitute raw materials or components which in its sole judgment are substantially equivalent.
Buyer assumes all risks of damage or loss to any products arising from any cause, including, without limitation all risk of delay, damage or loss in transportation or delivery, regardless whether title has passed.
If Buyer’s financial condition ever becomes unsatisfactory to Seller, or Buyer attempts to transfer any of Buyer’s business, Seller may require Buyer to post security satisfactory to Seller, in advance, before manufacture or delivery of any goods, and/or declare the entire purchase price payable, in advance.
Payment terms are cash with order, or with Seller’s Credit Department approval, net cash 30 days. Finance charges of 1.5% per month will be added to all past due amounts. Buyer shall make pro-rata payments as shipments are made. If Buyer delays shipments, payment is due when Seller notifies Buyer that Seller is prepared to ship, and Buyer will pay a reasonable storage charge from that time until shipment is made.
Buyer waives all claims not submitted in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the goods. Seller may at any time inspect any and all allegedly defective goods. Any and all claims relative to goods that Buyer has used or disposed of are waived.
If any person claims Seller is violating any law or regulation or is infringing any intellectual property or contributing to any act of unfair competition or is in violation of any law, Seller may suspend delivery of all goods pending resolution thereof or cancel this Agreement. Buyer shall indemnify and save Seller harmless for loss or damage, including attorney’s fees, resulting from any claim based upon Seller’s manufacture or sale of goods embodying any structure, composition, mark, design, notice or other device or materials specified by Buyer.
Orders accepted by Seller may not be cancelled without Seller’s written consent. If the goods must be specially manufactured and any change or cancellation is made, Buyer shall take all completed goods at full price and all goods in process at Seller’s cost plus pro-rata profit (as calculated by Seller) and Buyer shall also reimburse Seller for any loss on materials purchased or on commitments made for the order.

All information furnished by Seller or prepared by Buyer for Seller (including, without limitation, prices, drawings and other specifications) is confidential. Without Seller’s express written permission, Buyer shall not disclose any such information to any other person or use such information itself for any purpose other than performing this agreement.
