Terms of Service

THE FOLLOWING STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS OF SALE”) APPLY TO ALL SALES AND SERVICES BY PRECISION FLUOROCARBON, INC. (“PFI”). ANY OFFER OR PROPOSAL BY BUYER IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THESE TERMS OF SALE. ANY PURCHASE ORDER, OFFER OR COUNTER-OFFER MADE BY BUYER WITH VARYING TERMS IS EXPRESSLY REJECTED BY PFI. NEITHER THE FAILURE OF PFI TO OBJECT TO A PURCHASE ORDER OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM BUYER NOR ANY DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE, OR SHIPMENT OF A PURCHASE ORDER BY PFI SHALL BE DEEMED AN ACCEPTANCE BY PFI OF ANY TERMS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS WHICH ARE ADDITIONAL TO, DIFFERENT FROM, OR CONFLICTING WITH THESE TERMS OF SALE, INCLUDING SITUATIONS IN WHICH PFI SATISFIES AN ORDER SUBMITTED ON BUYER’S OWN PURCHASE ORDER FORM.

Orders. No order shall be binding upon PFI until accepted by PFI in writing. All sales are limited to and expressly made conditional upon Buyer’s assent to these Terms of Sale. Such written acknowledgment by PFI and these Terms of Sale comprise the entire agreement between PFI and Buyer. Buyer shall be deemed to agree to these Terms of Sale upon the earlier of Buyer’s acceptance of PFI’s quotation, acceptance of delivery of goods or services, or the issuance of a purchase order to PFI. Terms and conditions at variance with these Terms of Sale are not binding upon PFI unless expressly accepted in writing by a duly authorized representative of PFI. Orders accepted by PFI cannot be cancelled by Buyer except with PFI’s written consent and upon terms that will indemnify PFI against loss, including without limitation compensation for all costs of performance incurred by PFI through cancellation. Buyer may, prior to delivery, request changes in the specifications of the product or the quantity ordered; provided however, any such change shall be subject to written acceptance by PFI. Buyer agrees to pay any and all additional direct or indirect costs occasioned by Buyer’s change order.

Prices. Written quotations expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date of PFI’s quotation unless otherwise specified in writing by PFI. Verbal quotations are not binding upon PFI. Legal delivery and prices are F.O.B. PFI’s facility and quoted prices do not include transportation charges. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, all sales, excise, use or similar taxes charged by any national, federal, state or local government or relevant authority upon the production, manufacture, distributions, sale or use of goods or services, which PFI may be required to pay or collect, shall be in addition to PFI’s quoted price and shall be paid by Buyer, unless Buyer provides PFI with valid exemption certificates acceptable to the relevant taxing authorities. PFI reserves the right to revise final quoted prices of work in progress resulting from any change to the order by Buyer.

Quantities. All quotations are based on Buyer accepting over run or under run on each individual item not exceeding 5-10% of quantities ordered.

Invoices are payable thirty (30) days from the date of invoice unless other approved in writing by PFI.

Acceptance of bank drafts, checks or other form of payment shall be subject to immediate collection of the full face amount. PFI may, at its discretion, impose a transaction fee on payments processed via wire or by Letter of Credit (“LOC”). PFI reserves the right at any time to suspend credit or to change credit terms when in PFI’s sole opinion Buyer’s financial condition warrants. PFI may demand payment or irrevocable LOC in advance of shipment if, in PFI’s discretion, the credit or financial condition of Buyer is, or is about to become, impaired or Buyer has insufficient credit history with PFI. If Buyer delays or defers delivery beyond the scheduled date, payment may be due in full when PFI is prepared to ship the goods or perform the services. The goods may thereafter, at PFI’s option, be stored at Buyer’s risk and expense. In the event of nonpayment of an invoice when due, and without prejudice to other lawful remedies, PFI shall have the right to suspend further work or the delivery of future goods or services with Buyer until such invoice is paid in full. If such invoice remains unpaid for more than ten (10) days after written demand for payment, PFI may terminate its contract with Buyer without penalty.
• Delivery. PFI will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet delivery dates stated in advance of actual shipment of goods or performance of service, but in no event shall such quoted delivery dates be deemed to represent fixed or guaranteed delivery dates. PFI shall not be liable for any damage resulting from any non-delivery or delay due to any cause beyond PFI’s control, including without limitation: act of Buyer; act of God; embargo; other governmental act, regulation or request; fire; accident; strike; war; boycott; slowdown; riot; or delay in transportation or inability to obtain necessary labor, materials or manufacturing facilities.

Any special packaging requested by Buyer will be done at Buyer’s expense.
• Claims. If Buyer claims delivery is not as ordered, Buyer must notify PFI within five (5) days of receipt of shipment. Buyer will be deemed to have inspected and accepted any shipment if within five (5) days after Buyer’s receipt of goods or services, Buyer has not notified PFI in writing that such goods or services are rejected. Claims for defect or shortage must be detailed including grounds therefore. If such claim is sustained, PFI shall, at its option, repair, replace, credit or complete order.

Buyer further expressly acknowledges that it has provided PFI with all designs, drawings, plans and/or specs for the manufacture of such goods. PFI warrants only that such goods have been produced in accordance with PFI’s standard practices with regard to materials and workmanship and no samples or prior description of goods shall constitute an express warranty.

Buyer shall be required to purchase any goods into which PFI incorporated any non-conforming or defective Buyer-supplied materials, inserts, or parts at the current market rate for comparable goods free of defects as well as reimburse PFI for all work performed in relation to such goods. Additionally, Buyer is liable to pay for all associated costs incurred by PFI due to Buyer’s selection of noncompliant or defective designs and materials. These associated costs are calculated based upon any additional costs incurred by PFI in managing the noncompliant or defective goods, including without limitation all reworks, investigations and other consequential costs. PFI shall not be responsible for any selection made by Buyer and will not have any liability of Buyer for any loss, damages, costs or expenses suffered by Buyer as a result thereof.
