Washroom Equipment, Inc.
STANDARD
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Applicable
to all orders for Bobrick goods or services received by The Bobrick
Corporation, Bobrick Washroom Equipment, Inc., or any subsidiary thereof.
1.
Applicability of Commercial Code.
This is a purchase and sale between merchants and the California Commercial
Code governs this transaction as provided herein.
2.
Contingencies. Bobrick is not
liable for any failure to make delivery of the goods which are the subject of a
customer’s order that are caused by circumstances beyond its control which
makes such performance commercially impracticable including, but not limited
to, acts of God, fire, flood, war, civil unrest, terrorist act, governmental
action, accident, labor difficulties, shortages or inability to obtain
material, equipment or transportation. In the event Bobrick is so excused from
making delivery of such goods, either party may terminate the contract and the
customer will, at its expense and risk, return any goods previously shipped to
the place of shipment by Bobrick.
3.
Risk of Loss. All shipments by
Bobrick are made F.O.B. at Bobrick’s shipping point, whether or not freight
charges are prepaid and allowed or prepaid and charged to the customer. This
means that Bobrick’s customer assumes all risks of loss once the products have
been placed in the custody of the shipper. Moreover, Bobrick is not responsible
for, and shall have no obligation to make, any freight claims covering goods
damaged or lost in transit by a shipper. Claims for damaged or lost goods
should be made directly by the customer against the shipper involved, and such
customer should keep Bobrick informed so that it can cooperate in the
prosecution of such claim.
4.
Sales and Other Taxes. In
California, Colorado, New York and Tennessee, sales taxes, if applicable, shall
be added to the invoice price covering the customer’s purchase in question. In
all other jurisdictions, state or local sales or use taxes, if applicable,
shall be paid by the customer. In all locations, all applicable federal
manufacturer’s or other taxes shall be added to the customer’s invoice covering
the goods which are the subject of the transaction.
5.
Insurance. For parcel post
shipments, a fee equivalent to insurance charges will be included in the amount
added for delivery charges unless the customer’s purchase orders states that
shipment is not to be insured by Bobrick. Customers are advised to promptly
notify Bobrick in the case of goods damaged or lost in transit so that Bobrick
may file the necessary tracer or complaint and help to prosecute the customer’s
claim against the shipper.
6.
Terms of Sale. Unless otherwise
agreed to by Bobrick, all monies due Bobrick for sales of goods are due net 30
days from the date of invoice. If, in Bobrick’s opinion, extension of credit
for the amount involved is not warranted at the time of shipment, Bobrick may
require the customer to change the method of payment for such goods. All
payments are to be made in U.S. dollars. Bobrick reserves the right to subject
all goods which are not paid for in a timely manner to a late payment charge of
up to 1½ % per month.
7.
Prices. Prices stated in
Bobrick’s published price list and specific quotations are based on Bobrick’s
cost of labor and material prevailing at the time of issuance. Prices stated in
Bobrick’s Acknowledgement of Purchase Order are firm for any customer orders
that request prompt delivery. Otherwise, if a customer requests definite or
indefinite future delivery or if there is a delay in Bobrick’s receipt of any
approvals that may be required prior to shipment, prices will be subject to
escalation to cover Bobrick’s cost prevailing at the time of shipment. Any
reduction in the quantities shown in the customer’s purchase order may result
in changes in unit prices of remaining items or cancellation charges to cover
Bobrick’s expenses and losses incurred. Special orders are not subject to
reduction in quantity or cancellation by the customer after fabrication has
been started by Bobrick.
8.
Changes in Delivery Requirements.
If a customer order indicates that the customer will advise Bobrick
subsequently of its delivery requirements or if there is a change in the
customer’s stated delivery requirements, Bobrick requests that the customer
notify it at least 60 days in advance of the intended future shipment date.
9.
Bobrick’s Warranties. All
Bobrick products, under normal usage, are guaranteed to be free from defects in
material and workmanship for periods which vary by product type. The specific
warranty periods are set forth in the “Product Warranties” section of the
company’s web site (www.bobrick.com), and are also published in Bobrick’s full
line catalog. Bobrick’s obligation under such warranties is limited to the

returned by the customer, shipping charges prepaid, to Bobrick’s factory within
the stated warranty period. Except as hereinabove specifically set forth, it is
expressly understood that Bobrick makes no other warranties, express or
implied, with respect to any Bobrick products. Under no circumstances shall
Bobrick be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages suffered by
the customer, whether or not such incidental or consequential damages are
forseeable by Bobrick.
10.

and Costs. In the event of a dispute between Bobrick and its
customer as to a purchase order placed by such customer with Bobrick, both
parties agree to waive a right to trial by jury. The party prevailing in any
litigation arising from a dispute between Bobrick and its customer as to an
order shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
