SIERRA SAGE General Terms and Conditions
Entire
Agreement. The terms and
conditions stated herein shall govern all sales of products made by Sierra
Sage, regardless of the terms and conditions stated in any purchase order
submitted by the purchaser ("Purchaser"). SIERRA SAGE hereby
disclaims and rejects any terms and conditions appearing in a purchase order
from Purchaser that are in addition to, or inconsistent with, the terms and
conditions stated herein. Any such additional or inconsistent terms and
conditions shall not be a part of the contract and shall not be binding on
SIERRA SAGE. The terms and conditions stated herein shall govern over any
contrary terms in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
CANCELLATIONS:
Purchaser's purchase
orders shall not be subject to cancellation, changes or reductions in amount,
or suspension of deliveries by Purchaser except upon Sierra Sage's prior
written consent and upon terms which indemnify SIERRA SAGE against loss.
Sierra Sage reserves the right to cancel the order, or any part thereof, by
giving written notice to Purchaser. In the event of such cancellation,
Purchaser shall pay for all goods previously delivered and accepted by
Purchaser. If Purchaser ceases to conduct its operations in the normal course
of business, fails to meet its obligations as they come due, or if any
proceedings are commenced under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws with respect
to Purchaser, or a receiver is appointed for the assets of the Purchaser or
Purchaser makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, Sierra Sage may
cancel these Terms and Conditions without further liability or cost to Sierra
Sage and shall be entitled to the return of all deposits. Such cancellation
shall be without prejudice to any other rights of Sierra Sage.
PAYMENT AND LATE FEES: The Purchase Price and time for payment
shall be net 30 days from the date of the invoice (excluding international
orders); provided, however that orders over $2,500 (for wholesalers) and $4,500
(for distributors) shall require 50% prepayment for wholes at half percent
(.5%) discount for prepayment. Purchaser shall pay a late fee of one and one half
percent (1.5%) per month on all balances not paid within thirty (30) days from
the date of invoice. Excessive late payments may cause future purchase orders
to be shipped to Purchaser on a prepayment or COD. All international orders
require pre-payment by wire with 1% discount for prepayment. All transactions
are in US dollars.
MINIMUM ORDER:
There is a minimum initial
order of $1,500 for distributors.
QUOTATIONS: Unless otherwise stated, all SIERRA
SAGE price quotations are valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of quotation. All quotations of product prices shall be FOB Sierra SageŐs
facility in Boise, Idaho, and exclusive of shipping, insurance, taxes and
duties. All freight and insurance will be prepaid by SIERRA SAGE and added to
the invoice, unless otherwise arranged by the Purchaser with SIERRA SAGE.
DELIVERY DATE:
Any date of delivery
furnished by SIERRA SAGE to Purchaser is determined from the date of
SIERRA SAGE's receipt of Purchaser's order and the date is only an estimate of
the date of delivery, not a guarantee of a particular delivery date. If
prepayment is required by SIERRA SAGE, the delivery date is determined from the
date of SIERRA SAGE's receipt of such prepayment. SIERRA SAGE shall not be
liable for a failure of delay in shipment. All orders subject to raw materials
being available.
ERRORS OR
OMISSIONS: Errors or
omissions in any SIERRA SAGE quotation, acceptance, specification or other
document shall be subject to correction at SIERRA SAGE's discretion. If Sierra
Sage fails to deliver the product as scheduled or makes a delivery which is
nonconforming in any material manner, then PurchaserŐs sole remedy is for
Sierra Sage to remediate the nonconforming delivery in accordance with the
specification in the PurchaserŐs order.
SHIPPING: Unless otherwise requested in writing by
Purchase, (a) all SIERRA SAGE products will be shipped by whatever means and
carrier that SIERRA SAGE considers to be the most appropriate method of
transportation, and (b) all freight and insurance charges will be prepaid by
SIERRA SAGE and added to the invoice. Risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser upon
delivery by SIERRA SAGE to the carrier.
PURCHASER'S
DUTIES: By accepting
delivery of any SIERRA SAGE product, the Purchaser agrees to use that
product only for its Intended Use. The Purchaser assumes, without limitation,
all risk of injury, damage, or otherwise arising out of any use other than the
Intended Use of a SIERRA SAGE product.
RESALE: The Purchaser agrees to assume all
liability, and indemnify, defend and hold SIERRA SAGE harmless for any and
all claims, losses and liability (including attorneysŐ fees) arising out of any
use other than the intended use of a SIERRA SAGE product by any third
party who has directly or indirectly obtained the product from the Purchaser.
LIMITED WARRANTY: Sierra Sage warrants that the product is as
described and in conformity with any product samples provided by Sierra Sage
and fit for the purposes intended and stated in Sierra SageŐs product
specification, and free from defects in material and design. Notwithstanding
any other obligation hereunder, in the event of a defect in material or design,
Sierra SageŐs obligation shall be to repair or replace any product or unit of
product which Sierra Sage deems to be defective, in accordance with Sierra
SageŐs return merchandise authorization (RMA) procedure.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: Purchaser and Sierra Sage shall take appropriate measures to keep
confidential all information communicated to each by the other in connection
with this transaction. Sierra Sage shall retain ownership of all trade secrets,
manufacturing technology and product formulations as supplied under these Terms
and Conditions.
FORCE MAJEURE:
An event of force majeure
shall mean any act of God or nature or government, including government decrees
or legislation, flood, fire or hurricane, or war, rebellion, riot, insurrection
or declared state of emergency, which prevents a party hereto from performing
that partyŐs obligations hereunder. On the occurrence of an event of force
majeure, the obligations of the parties hereto shall be suspended for the
duration of the event of force majeure and the time for performance hereunder
shall be modified accordingly. If such event of force majeure shall continue
for six months, either party hereto may cause the Purchase Order to be
canceled.
WAIVER: No waiver or delay by Sierra Sage in the
enforcement of the terms of these Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon
Sierra Sage unless in writing signed by Sierra Sage and shall not prevent
Sierra Sage from later enforcing any of the rights so waived or delayed.
GOVERNING LAW: The validity, interpretation and performance of these Terms and Conditions shall be construed and governed by the substantive laws of the State of Idaho. Any disputes arising under, or in connection with, these Terms and Conditions and the parties themselves shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Idaho.
