1. Exclusive Terms
All orders shall be governed by the following terms and conditions. These terms and conditions shall constitute the complete Agreement between the purchaser of the goods (herein called ‘Buyer’) and Cavity Sliders USA Inc. (herein called ‘Vendor’) and shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral and written statements of any kind whatsoever made by the parties and their representatives.
2. Acceptance
Vendor’s acceptance of any order is expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s assent to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any added, varied, or conflicting terms in Buyer’s Purchase Order, or elsewhere in any correspondence from Buyer, are hereby objected to and shall not bind Vendor. Buyer shall notify Vendor in writing, as soon as practicable after receipt of Vendors acceptance of Buyer’s order, of any objection to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer’s failure to notify Vendor of any objection shall conclusively indicate Buyer’s assent to and acceptance of all terms and conditions herein. Buyer expressly accepts the terms and conditions herein at the exact moment Vendor commences performance on any purchase order requiring or providing for Vendor to commence performance prior to Buyer’s receipt of Vendor’s written acknowledgment.
3. Prices
Vendor has the right to change, without notice, any prices and/or specifications contained in its catalog or any other writing that does not expressly prohibit such change.
4. Taxes
Any applicable federal, state, local or other government taxes or charges on the sale or shipment of the goods covered by this Agreement shall be added to the price and paid by Buyer.

Buyer is responsible for reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of past due balances. Buyer shall have no right of set-off. Buyer’s cancellation of orders for any items referred to in the Vendor’s current catalog is subject to a service charge to cover the costs of initial processing and/or production of the order.

Shipments and deliveries of all items shall at all times be subject to approval of Vendor’s Credit Department. Vendor at any time may require payment in advance or satisfactory security or guarantee that invoices will be promptly paid when due.

In addition to and without limiting Vendor’s existing rights and remedies, Vendor reserves the right to withhold further deliveries and/or terminate this or any other contract with Buyer, if Buyer fails to comply with the terms of this or any other Agreement.

11. Limitation of Remedies
Vendor’s obligations under the above warranties (contained in Section 10) are conditioned upon Vendor actually receiving notice from Buyer of the alleged defect within two (2) years from date of shipment and the allegedly defective goods revealing an actual defect upon examination by Vendor. Vendor shall not be liable for any labor or other expenses incurred by Buyer in the removal, repair, or replacement of the goods or any component part claimed to be defective, nor shall Vendor be liable for any expenses incurred by the Buyer in order to remedy any defect. Vendor shall not be liable for any consequential, special, or contingent damages or expenses, arising directly or indirectly from any defect in the goods, or from Buyers use or inability to use such goods.

The sole purpose of the stipulated exclusive remedy shall be to provide Buyer with a credit or replacement for, or repair of, defective parts in the manner provided herein.
