Terms & Conditions of Sale

The sale of goods by Intech Partners, LLC (together with XrayCurtains.com and Lead Free Shields as “Seller”) to the buyer of such goods (“Purchaser”) shall be governed and controlled by, and are subject to, these Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”).  The Terms and Conditions, and Seller’s accompanying documents, constitute the entire agreement between Purchaser and Seller, and any offer by Seller is expressly limited to the Terms and Conditions. Additionally, acceptance by Seller of any offer made by Purchaser is expressly made conditional on Purchaser’s assent to the Terms and Conditions.  Conflicting printed terms on a purchase order or acknowledgement used by Purchaser shall be deemed not to constitute a counter-offer or an objection, specific or general, and such conflicting terms are hereby rejected. 

 

1. Quotations. Quotations and prices are for the periods of time specifically stated in a written quotation and in all cases are subject to prior sale of the described goods. If no time is stated, then quotations and prices are not firm and are subject to change without notice. Purchase orders based on a quotation are not binding on Seller until accepted in writing by an authorized officer at Seller´s Texas office. 

 

2. Taxes. An amount equal to any tax or other governmental charge upon the production, sale, occupation of selling, shipment, storage, or use of material, which is now, or may be hereafter, imposed by governmental authorities upon either Purchaser or Seller and which Seller is obligated to pay or collect, shall be added, to the extent attributable to the goods to be sold hereunder, to the price quoted herein and shall be paid by Purchaser. 

 

3. Terms of Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the price and terms and time of payment are as shown on Seller’s acknowledgement. At any time and within Seller’s absolute discretion, the amount of credit may be withdrawn by Seller and the terms of payment may be changed. Seller reserves the right, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, before or after making any delivery to require payment in cash or to require security for payment. All past due amounts shall bear interest from and after due date at the rate of 18% per annum, or the highest legally allowable rate. If collected through court, probate or bankruptcy proceedings, or if placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, Seller shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney´s fees and court costs. If the financial position of Purchaser becomes, in Seller´s sole judgment, weakened, or if Purchaser shall fail to comply with any provisions hereof or fail to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof or of any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller, Seller may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, defer further shipments or, without waiving any other rights it may have, terminate any agreement between Purchaser and Seller.  Seller hereby reserves the right to claim drawback in any and every case where drawback is applicable, and this statement shall provide evidence that such reservation was made. 

 

4. Force Majeure. Purchase orders and shipments are subject to strikes, labor disputes, acts of God, accidents, machinery breakdown, delays of carriers or suppliers, governmental acts, fires, terrorism, hurricanes, and any other causes, similar or dissimilar, which are beyond Seller´s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”), and Seller shall not be liable for any late or delayed delivery, or shortages in quantity, which arises out of, or in connection with, any Force Majeure Event. Seller may, during period of shortage however caused and without liability, prorate its goods among its customers in such manner as Seller may deem fair and practicable. 

 

5. Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, shipments, delivery, and risk of loss and damage shall be made in accordance with Incoterms 2010 Free Carrier (Seller´s shipping point), as such shipping point is expressly set forth in the Seller quote. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, title to the goods shall pass from Seller to Purchaser upon the earlier to occur: (a) Purchaser (or its nominee) taking care, custody, or control of the goods at the Seller’s shipping point, whether or not freight is prepaid by Seller, or (b) Seller invoicing for the goods. Any quoted delivery time is approximate and the extension of delivery time shall not be cause for termination of any purchase order accepted by Seller. If Seller makes the goods available to Purchaser, and so notifies Purchaser, Purchaser will immediately take delivery.  Seller may store goods so made available to, but not accepted by, Purchaser for the account, and at the sole risk, of the Purchaser and invoice Purchaser for the purchase price of the goods, plus any and all costs associated with making the goods available. 

 

6. Acceptance and Inspection. Purchaser shall inspect the goods within eight (8) days of the invoice date (“Inspection Period”).  Claims by Purchaser must be made promptly, in writing, within the Inspection Period, and Seller shall be given an opportunity to investigate.  All Purchaser claims are deemed waived, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted, such goods if objection is not made in writing within the Inspection Period.  Written authorization must be obtained by Purchaser from Seller before Seller can accept returned goods.
