HOWEVER, Shipments will be billed at Seller’s prices in effect on the date the shipments are made, unless otherwise specified as a special term and condition on the face of: the quote, order acknowledgment, Genergy product price lists or invoice. Issuance of an order against a numbered quotation indicates acceptance of the listed cable and cable assemblies’ characteristic and descriptions. Orders containing any deviation from quoted specification nullifies the price herein. Special tools, dies or fixtures, other than standard in Genergy product line, that are necessary for the manufacture of a customer’s product and not supplied by Buyer may be charged to the customer and indicated previously in the quotation. All special tools, dies, or other fixtures not supplied by Buyer shall be and remain the Seller’s property and in the Seller’s sole possession and control, and any changes made by Seller therefore, shall be for the use of such equipment only. When for a period of one year, no orders or releases are accepted from the Buyer for products to be made with such tools, dies or fixtures, Seller may make such disposition thereof, as it desire without liability to Buyer.  Prices do not include any sales, use, excise, privilege, or other taxes or assessments now or hereafter imposed or levied by or under the authority of any foreign, federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation concerning the goods or the manufacture or sale thereof.  Buyer must submit a state sales tax exemption form.

If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, Buyer shall be liable for all costs and expenses related to collection of past due amounts, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs.  If, in Seller’s judgment, the financial condition of Buyer does not justify continuance on the terms of payment above, Seller may require full or partial payment in advance or otherwise adjust the terms including ceasing to supply Buyer.

Orders may not be canceled after completion unless Seller agrees in writing.
