Purchase Terms and Conditions

Purchase Terms and Conditions

Customer agrees to purchase and accept Metallurgical Supplies products in accordance with these terms and conditions. Metallurgical Supplies objects to and rejects any and all terms proposed by Customer, whether contained in Customer’s purchase order or elsewhere. If Metallurgical Supplies and Customer have signed a separate, written agreement governing Customer’s purchase of Metallurgical Supplies products (“Contract”), then the terms of that Contract shall govern.

Prices and Taxes

Prices are in U.S. Dollars and exclude all taxes, duties or assessments (“Taxes”). Any Taxes Which Metallurgical Supplies may be required to pay or collect may be added to each invoice or separately invoiced by Metallurgical Supplies and promptly paid by Customer.

Payment

Customer shall make full payment for all products within thirty (30) days of the invoice date without any offsets or credits, and Metallurgical Supplies may suspend production, shipment or delivery of any additional products until such payments are made. Past due invoices shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month, but not in excess of the maximum lawful rate, until paid in full.

Title; Shipping and Storage Charges

Title to the products and risk of loss shall pass to Customer at Metallurgical Supplies’ shipping point. Customer shall be responsible for shipping charges and Metallurgical Supplies assumes no liability in connection with shipment, nor shall any carrier be construed to be an agent of Metallurgical Supplies. Freight charges are based on standard rates before volume or other discounts. Freight charges may also include a uniform handling charge of $3.00 per package. Metallurgical Supplies shall have the right to assess a storage and handling charge for product left in Metallurgical Supplies’ possession after notification to Customer that the products are available to ship. Products held for Customer due to such delay shall be held at Customer’s risk.

Time of Shipment and Shipping

Lead time requirements and delivery dates will vary according to manufacturing and other conditions. Each shipment is to be considered a separate sale.

Security Interest

Until the purchase price for the product has been paid in full, Customer grants Metallurgical Supplies a security interest in the products, together with any proceeds, including accounts receivables. Customer authorizes Metallurgical Supplies to file any necessary financing statements or other documents to evidence and perfect such security interest.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders

Purchase orders may be cancelled for non-custom products within the same business day, provided that the order has not yet been processed. Purchase orders are non-cancellable for custom products and custom volumes once production of the custom order has been started.

Product Returns

All returns are subject to Metallurgical Supplies’ prior approval and shall be governed by Metallurgical Supplies’ Product Return Policy (“Return Policy”) in effect at the time of such return. The Return Policy is located at www.Metallurgical Supplies.com or is available upon request and may change from time to time. Metallurgical Supplies reserves the right to evaluate all returns and its decision concerning damage or defects shall be conclusive. Metallurgical Supplies will then, at its option, either repair or replace such products or credit Customer’s account in the amount of the original invoice price.

Recall

In the event Metallurgical Supplies is required by a regulatory agency to recall products, or Metallurgical Supplies voluntarily initiates a recall of products, Customer agrees to cooperate with and assist Metallurgical Supplies in locating and retrieving the recalled products. Customer shall promptly report to Metallurgical Supplies any complaints or other information regarding the products of which it becomes aware that could reasonably be expected to lead to recall or other regulatory action.

Default

Customer shall be in default hereunder if any one or more of the following events occur: (a) Customer shall default in not timely performing or providing any of its obligations to Metallurgical Supplies; (b) a receiver, liquidator or trustee of Customer, or any of its property, is appointed by court order; (c) Customer is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (d) any property of Customer is sequestered by court order; (e) a petition is filed by or against Customer under any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction; (f) Customer becomes insolvent; or (g) in the event that delivery is dependent on Customer’s cooperation, Customer fails to cooperate in effecting delivery at the time agreed upon, or absent such agreement, at the time fixed by Metallurgical Supplies. In the event of any such default, all unpaid payments shall become immediately due and payable and Metallurgical Supplies shall have the right to consider its contract with the Customer cancelled and to recover damages and shall further have all rights and remedies provided by applicable law.
