Orders shipped to a New Jersey address will have the applicable six (6) percent New Jersey sales tax added. Seller does not have a GST number in Canada. Therefore, Seller does not collect GST at this time. Shipments in which third party carriers are designated may collect GST, duties, brokerage fees, and other related charges upon crossing the border from the United States to Canada. Third party carriers may also contact Buyer to determine if Buyer wishes to designate a broker. If Buyer does not have a broker, the third party shipper will designate one.

Seller will make a good faith effort to deliver orders at the time requested; however, Seller assumes no responsibility or liability and will accept no back charge for loss or damage due to delay or inability to deliver, whether or not such loss or damage was made known to Seller, including, but not limited to, liability for Seller's non-performance caused by acts of God, war, labor difficulties, accidents, inability to obtain Goods, delays of carriers, contractors or suppliers or any other causes of any kind whatever beyond the control of Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, indirect, or liquidated damages, losses, or expense (whether or not based on negligence) arising directly or indirectly from delays or failure to give notice of delay.

RETURNS

Items that are special ordered, made to customer specifications, non-inventory or non-stock items, cannot be returned for any credit due to their special nature unless found defective.

Absolutely no refunds or returns will be permitted for perishables or consumable items such as Chemicals or Chemical Additives.

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
The BILL OF LADING indicates that Goods shipped have now become Buyer’s property and is an acknowledgment by the Motor Truck Carrier of the receipt of the Shipment in good condition. Safe delivery is the responsibility of the Carrier. If Buyer causes or requests a Shipment delay, or if Seller ships or delivers the Goods erroneously as a result of inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by Buyer or its agents or employees, storage and all other additional costs and risks shall be borne solely by Buyer.

CLAIMS
Seller is not responsible for damage after Shipment pickup by Carrier. All Shipments must be thoroughly inspected upon Delivery. Any damage or shortage must be noted on the Delivery Receipt and signed by the Consignee or its agent and witnessed by Carrier driver/agent. Loss or damage claims must be reported immediately to Seller provided a Seller contracted Carrier was used for Delivery. Any claim for a Shipment by a Carrier arranged or contracted by the Buyer must be reported by the Buyer directly to their Carrier. The Buyer must not deduct transportation charges from the invoice, nor withhold payment or invoices awaiting adjustment of such claims, since it is the function of the Carrier to guarantee safe Delivery. Seller will give all reasonable assistance to the Buyer in collecting loss or damage claims from Carriers by furnishing the required backup documentation for legitimate claims.

INSPECTION
EXAMINE THE SHIPMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING PARCEL OR DELIVERY RECEIPTS.

1. Motor Truck Shipments: If any damage is noted, or if the number of pieces received does not agree with the Bill of Lading, Buyer should not accept Shipment without shortage or damage noted on the Delivery Receipt by the Carrier's agent and Buyer should secure a signed copy of the Delivery Receipt from Carrier’s agent; failure to do so may jeopardize Buyer’s claim. If any concealed damage or shortage is discovered when unpacking, leave material and packing as is and notify agent of Carrier to inspect and make reference thereto on the freight bill. Consult Carrier for disposition of damaged articles.

2. Parcel Carrier Shipments: If any damage is noted upon Delivery from Parcel Carrier, refuse the Shipment. Parcel Carrier will return the Shipment to Seller. Seller will file a claim and send out a new Shipment as soon as possible dependent on Seller’s stock and manufacturer’s product availability. Buyer must report parcel count shortages immediately upon delivery to Parcel Carrier and Seller. All reports of shortage will be investigated promptly against recorded stock and shipping documents. If after opening the Shipment, Buyer or its agents or employees find concealed damage, Buyer must preserve Goods intact with the original packing and contact the Parcel Carrier and retain the Shipment for a prescribed period of time to enable the Parcel Carrier to inspect or collect the Shipment. Buyer may contact Seller at any time to place another order which will be handled separately from the damaged claim Shipment.

ACCEPTANCE
Claims for damage, concealed or otherwise, shortage or errors in shipping must be initiated within three (3) business days following Delivery to Buyer. If the Buyer fails to do this, Buyer is deemed to have accepted the Goods without exception. A Claim for shortage attributed to the Buyer’s count in packing must be made within seven (7) days from the date the Shipment is received. Buyer shall have seven (7) days from the date Buyer receives any Shipment to inspect such Goods for defects and nonconformance which are not due to damage, shortage or errors in shipping and notify Seller, in writing, of any defects, nonconformance or rejection of such products. After such seven (7) day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Goods, if not previously accepted. After such acceptance, Buyer shall have no right to reject the Goods for any reason or to revoke acceptance. Buyer hereby agrees that such seven (7) day period is a reasonable amount of time for such inspection and revocation. The sole and exclusive remedy for Goods alleged to be defective in material or workmanship will be the replacement of the merchandise subject to the manufacturer's inspection and warranty.

Export Orders
Buyer shall obtain all licenses, permits and approvals required by any government and shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, policies and procedures of the applicable government and other competent authorities. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any violation or alleged violation by Buyer of such laws, rules, policies, or procedures. Buyer shall not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, separately or as part of any system, the Goods or any technical data received from Seller, without first obtaining any license required by the applicable government, including (without limitation) the United States government and/or any other applicable competent authority.

The Buyer will bear all shipping and handling cost for returning products to the manufacturer or its designate. The foregoing shall constitute the exclusive remedy of the Buyer and the sole obligation of the Seller.

INDEMNIFICATION

Seller makes no promise or representation that the products or services will conform to any federal, state or local laws ordinances, regulations, codes or standards, except as particularly specified and agreed upon in writing by an authorized representative of Seller.

Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its agents and employees against any loss, damage, claim, suit, liability, judgment or expense (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) arising out of or in connection with any injury, disease or death of persons (including, without limitation, Buyer's employees and agents) or damage to or loss of any property or the environment, or violation of any applicable laws or regulations resulting from or in connection with the sale, transportation, installation, use, or repair of the products by Buyer or of the information, designs, services or other work supplied to Buyer, whether caused by the concurrent and/or contributory negligence of Buyer, Seller, or any of their agents, employees or suppliers.
