Terms and Conditions

1. Applicability

These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms") are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods ("Goods") or services (the “Services”) offered by Rocket Industrial, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation ("Seller"), to the buyer named in the applicable quotation, confirmation of sale, invoice or other document to which these Terms are appended or otherwise made part of ("Buyer"). The accompanying quotation, confirmation of sale, invoice or other document to which these Terms are appended or otherwise made part of (the "Sales Confirmation") and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement") comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. These Terms may only be amended or modified in a writing which specifically states that it amends these Terms and is signed by an authorized representative of each party.

 

2. Delivery

The Goods or Services will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer's purchase order. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall deliver the Goods either by direct ship from one or more third party vendors of Seller or by physical delivery by Seller or one or more of its affiliates to the destination specified in the applicable purchase order to which the shipment applies (the "Destination") using Seller's standard methods for packaging and shipping such Goods. Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Destination.

 

3. Shipping Terms; Title and Risk of Loss.

Delivery shall be FOB shipping point for all deliveries of Goods, except that it shall be FOB Destination for any Goods physically delivered to Destination by Seller or one or more of its affiliates. Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer at the shipping point for all deliveries, except that it shall pass upon delivery of the Goods at the Destination for any Goods physically delivered to Destination by Seller or one or more of its affiliates.

 

4. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods

Buyer shall inspect the Goods within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such Goods ("Inspection Period"). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Seller. "Nonconforming Goods" means only the following: (a) product shipped is different than identified in Buyer's purchase order; or (b) product's label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the purchase price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller's facility. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer's shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Destination. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section are Buyer's exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.

 

5. Price

Buyer shall purchase the Goods and Services from Seller at the price (the "Price") set forth in Seller's published price list in force as of the date of Buyer's purchase order. Seller reserves the right to cancel or modify orders based upon errors where non-current Prices are reflected in online or other published Price lists as of the date of Buyer’s purchase order. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible for all such charges, costs and taxes; provided, that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Seller's income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or real or personal property or other assets.

 

6. Payment Terms

Buyer shall pay all invoiced amounts due to Seller within thirty (30) days of Seller's invoice date, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in a separate writing signed by the parties. Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods or Services if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder. Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller's breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.

 

7. Manufacturer’s Warranty; Disclaimer

Seller passes through to Buyer, to the extent permitted, any manufacturer’s warranty which may exist with respect to the Goods. Seller offers no assurance or guarantee of the availability, applicability, scope or content of any such manufacturer’s warranty whatsoever, but Seller will provide reasonable assistance, at no cost to Seller, in order to confirm Seller’s passing of any such warranty rights through to Buyer. Without limiting any return policy stated at Seller’s website as of the date of Buyer’s purchase order, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS OR SERVICES, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

 

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

9. Termination

In addition to any remedies that may be provided under these Terms, Seller may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to Buyer, if Buyer: (a) fails to pay any amount when due under this Agreement; (b) has not otherwise performed or complied with any of these Terms, in whole or in part; or (c) becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

10. Force Majeure

Seller shall not be liable or responsible to Buyer, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.

 

11. Miscellaneous

No waiver by Seller of any of the provisions of this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by Seller. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement operates, or may be construed, as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Buyer shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. The terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to sales of goods only, to mixed sales of goods and services (regardless of which factor predominates), and to sales of services only and, in either of the latter two cases, the term “goods” as used herein shall be construed as including all services rendered hereunder, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 

12. Governing Law; Venue

All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule of any jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Wisconsin. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Wisconsin in each case located in the State of Wisconsin, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
