These Terms of Purchase supersede all previous agreements between the Seller and G.L. Huyett. This Purchase Order and Terms of Sale do not constitute an acceptance of any offer or quote from Seller.
Goods
Seller agrees to provide the products, services, warranties, scope of work, and product support, hereinafter referred to as “Goods” in accordance with this Purchase Order and the Terms of Purchase (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) set forth herein. Upon acceptance of this Purchase Order or a shipment of goods, Seller shall be bound by this Agreement, including all provision set forth in the Purchase Order, whether Seller acknowledges or otherwise signs this Agreement or the Purchase Order, unless Seller and G.L. Huyett agree in writing to the contrary prior to Seller’s shipment of Goods. This Agreement may not be added to, amended, modified, superseded or otherwise altered, except if agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of G.L. Huyett. Any of the following acts shall constitute acceptance of this Purchase Order and Agreement: signing and returning a copy of the Purchase Order; delivery of any of the Goods ordered; or returning Seller’s own version of an Order Acknowledgement. Any additional term, provision, warranty, or condition in Seller’s Order Acknowledgement shall be deemed to be a material alteration of the Agreement and Purchase Order, and is hereby objected to by G.L. Huyett. Any such term, provision, or condition shall be totally inapplicable to this Purchase Order and Agreement unless specifically agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of G.L. Huyett. To the extent that this Agreement might be interpreted as acceptance of Seller’s prior offer, such acceptance is expressly made on condition of assent by Seller to the terms hereof and shipment of the Goods shall constitute such assent. Should the Seller fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement or Purchase Order, G.L. Huyett hereby reserves the right to reschedule any delivery or cancel any purchase order issued at any time prior to shipment of the Goods. G.L. Huyett shall not be subject to any charges or other fees as a result of such cancellation, or any restocking fees for excess inventories or materials built or purchased by Seller unless approved in writing by an authorized representative of G.L. Huyett.
Delivery
Delivery of Goods shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Purchase Order. In the event that Seller fails to deliver the Goods within the time specified, or via the wrong carrier route method, G.L. Huyett may, at its sole option, decline to accept the Goods and terminate the Purchase Order and this Agreement. In the event that G.L. Huyett decides to accept such Goods, Seller agrees to ship such Goods via priority air shipment methods for overnight delivery at Seller’s sole expense, should such expedited delivery be requested by G.L. Huyett in writing to Seller. Seller shall package all items in suitable containers to permit safe transportation and handling, and to insure that Goods arrive at G.L. Huyett’s facility in good and resalable condition. Seller shall legibly and prominently place G.L. Huyett’s purchase order number on all shipping containers, packing sheets, bills of lading, and delivery tickets. Seller shall legibly and prominently place its lot number for each production lot on each shipping container, and individual lots shall be segregated from one another in a manner that prevents co-mingling of lots during transportation. It is desirable that the G.L. Huyett item number, Seller’s shipping quantity, Country of Orgin, G.L. Huyett’s purchase order number, and Seller’s lot number be barcoded in accordance with G.L. Huyett Packaging Specifications.
Risk of Loss
Title of the Goods shipped under this Purchase Order shall pass to G.L. Huyett in accordance with the shipping terms specified in the Purchase Order.
Payment
G.L. Huyett shall pay Seller the amount agreed upon and specified in the Purchase Order. Payment shall not constitute acceptance of the Goods. Seller shall invoice G.L. Huyett within ninety (90) days of delivery of Goods and must reference the applicable purchase order number, and attach the original Bill of Lading. G.L. Huyett reserves the right to return all incorrect invoices, and such delay may delay payment with no loss of cash discount if the Seller does not comply with these provisions. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, G.L. Huyett shall pay the invoiced amount within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a correct invoice. G.L. Huyett may at all times set off any amount that Seller, or any affiliate of Seller, owes to G.L. Huyett against any amount that G.L. Huyett, or any G.L. Huyett affiliate, owes to Seller.
