Acceptance of Terms
By purchasing and accepting delivery of any products supplied by PFS LOUISIANA (“Products”) you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”). Any other terms or conditions contained in any order form or other document submitted by you which are inconsistent with, or in addition to, these Terms and Conditions are rejected, objected to and shall be deemed void and of no force or effect.
Changes
Once submitted, any change(s) to your order(s) may be made only with advance written approval of PFS LOUISIANA and such changes may require different terms, including a change in the price and/or time of delivery. Once submitted, you may not cancel any order unless cancellation is expressly approved by PFS LOUISIANA in writing, which approval may be contingent on your payment of PFS LOUISIANA’S costs or other charges, including, but not limited to, storage and shipment costs, costs of producing non-standard materials, costs of purchasing non-returnable materials, cancellation costs imposed on PFS LOUISIANA by its suppliers, and any other costs resulting from cancellation. A verified bill of costs issued by an officer or other authorized representative of PFS LOUISIANA shall be conclusive as to the amount of such costs. PFS LOUISIANA reserves the right to cancel any order, in whole or in part, upon your breach of these terms and conditions or your bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, receivership proceedings, or upon the occurrence of any event leading PFS LOUISIANA to reasonably question your willingness or ability to pay.
Delivery, claims
Delivery of Products to the carrier at PFS LOUISIANA’S shipping point shall constitute delivery to you and you shall bear all risk of loss or damage in transit. PFS LOUISIANA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the exact method of shipment for any shipment. PFS LOUISIANA reserves the right to make delivery in instalments, all such instalments to be separately invoiced and paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any instalment shall not relieve you of your obligations to accept remaining deliveries. Immediately upon your receipt of any Products shipped hereunder, you shall inspect the same and shall notify PFS LOUISIANA in writing of any claims for shortages, defects or damages and shall hold Products for Umbrella Labs’ written instructions concerning disposition. If you fail to so notify PFS LOUISIANA within 1 day after the Products have been received by you, such Products shall conclusively be deemed to conform to the terms and conditions hereof and to have been irrevocably accepted by the you.
Delays
Any specified delivery dates are estimates only and do not represent a promise by PFS LOUISIANA to deliver Products at a date certain. PFS LOUISIANA shall not be liable for any loss, damage or penalty as a result of any delay in or failure to manufacture, deliver or otherwise perform hereunder due to any cause beyond PFS LOUISIANA ‘s reasonable control, including, without limitation, unsuccessful reactions, act(s) of you, embargo or other governmental act, regulation or request affecting the conduct of Umbrella Labs’ business, fire, explosion, accident, theft, vandalism, riot, acts of war, strikes or other labor difficulties, lightning, flood, windstorm or other acts of God, delay in transportation, or inability to obtain necessary labor, fuel, materials, supplies or power at current prices
Allocation of Products
If PFS LOUISIANA is unable for any reason to supply the total demands for Products specified in your order, PFS LOUISIANA may allocate its viable supply among any or all customers on such basis as PFS LOUISIANA may deem fair and practical, without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
Payment and Interest
In the event of default by you in the payment of the purchase price or otherwise, PFS LOUISIANA, at its option, without prejudice to any other of PFS LOUISIANA’s lawful remedies, may defer delivery, cancel your order and any other order of you, or sell any undelivered products on hand for the account of you and apply such proceeds as a credit, without set-off or deduction of any kind, against the agreed upon purchase price, and you agree to pay the balance then due to PFS LOUISIANA on demand. For any chargebacks done by the customer, and not approved by PFS LOUISIANA, will result in the customer’s information being reported to collections.
Pricing
Any quotation provided by PFS LOUISIANA is firm only if you place a corresponding order within the time specified on the quote or, if no period is mentioned, within 30 days.
Price Changes
Shipment will be made promptly even if prices have been nominally increased. Notwithstanding any price quotation or prices listed by PFS LOUISIANA, if at any time prior to delivery PFS LOUISIANA’s costs of materials have increased by 10% or more, then PFS LOUISIANA may cancel any accepted but undelivered orders or condition the continuance of any order on your agreement to a corresponding increase in price.
