KOR-PAK CORPORATION’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY YOU, THE BUYER (“YOU” OR “BUYER”) ARE EXPRESSLY SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE PURCHASE ORDER AND AT THE KOR-PAK WEBSITE, WWW.KOR-PAK.COM. THESE TERMS ARE INCORPORATED INTO AND MADE A PART OF THE PURCHASE ORDER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGREEMENT”). IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE SET FORTH IN THE PURCHASE ORDER AND THOSE SET FORTH AT THE KOR-PAK WEBSITE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE SET FORTH AT THE KOR-PAK WEBSITE SHALL PREVAIL. NO PERSON HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ALTER THESE TERMS OTHER THAN A CORPORATE OFFICER OF KOR-PAK CORPORATION, AND ANY SUCH ALTERATION MUST BE IN WRITING. BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF PRODUCTS CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.

  1. Pricing.

(a)   KOR-PAK’s prices for the goods you are purchasing (the “Products”) are those stated on the face of the applicable Purchase Order. All prices are F.O.B. shipping point unless otherwise specified. Quoted prices are subject to additional federal, state or local taxes, including any present or future sales, use, excise, or similar taxes.

(b)   The prices for any Products shall be confidential, and Buyer shall not disclose such prices to any unrelated third party.  KOR-PAK and Buyer acknowledge and agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for a breach of this Section, that such a breach would irreparably harm KOR-PAK and that KOR-PAK is entitled to equitable relief (including, without limitations, injunctions) with respect to any such breach or potential breach in addition to any other remedies.

  1. Payment.

(a)   All payments for Products must be made in United States currency unless specified in writing by KOR-PAK. Payments for Products on orders over $10,000 must be made by check or wire transfer only. KOR-PAK may offer different credit terms in KOR-PAK’s sole discretion based on your credit approval.

(b)   Unless otherwise stated on the face of the Purchase Order, payment for Products from Buyers whose credit is approved is due within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s receipt of invoice.

 (c)  KOR-PAK reserves the right to modify payment terms in its sole discretion. For instance, KOR-PAK may require first time buyers to prepay the full cost of the Products.

(d)   If Buyer does not pay when payment is due, past due amounts are subject to late fees of one and a half percent (1 ½%) per month or the maximum percentage rate permitted by law, whichever is less. KOR-PAK will not ship the Products prior to receiving all required payments.

(e)   KOR-PAK shall have the right to offset any and all amounts due and owing from KOR-PAK to Buyer under the current-Purchase Order, including, without limitation, any chargebacks or rebates, against any amounts due and owing from Buyer to KOR-PAK under this Purchase Order or any other Purchase Order placed between you and KOR-PAK.

(f)    If Buyer defaults in payment, Buyer will be liable for all collection costs incurred by KOR-PAK including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and collection agency fees, and all related disbursements.

 

  1. Shipment of Products.

(a)   Shipment of all Products shall be made F.O.B. shipping point. Buyer shall bear the risk of loss and damage to Products as soon as the Products leave from the shipping point.

(b)   Any shipping dates for Products are approximate and are for informational purposes only. Shipment is contingent on Buyer’s prepayment of the required amounts (as set forth in Section 2 and/or on the applicable Purchase Order). Unless otherwise agreed to by KOR-PAK in writing in the Purchase Order, KOR-PAK may, in its sole discretion, use any commercial carriers for shipment of the Products in agreement with the Buyer to add Prepaid and Allowed on the Purchase Order.

(c)   KOR-PAK reserves the right to make shipment and delivery of Products in installments. All such installments shall be separately invoiced and paid for when due, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve Buyer of the obligations to accept and pay for remaining deliveries.

(d)   Unless otherwise agreed to by KOR-PAK in writing, Buyer will pay all insurance costs in connection with delivery of the Products, if any, and be responsible for filing and pursuing claims with carriers for loss of, or damage to, Products in transit.

(e)   Buyer is responsible for obtaining at its sole cost and expense any and all necessary licenses and permits for the Products, including, without limitation, any licenses and permits for transportation.

(f)    If Buyer is unable to receive the Products when they are tendered, Buyer will be liable to KOR-PAK for any losses, damages, or additional expenses incurred or suffered by KOR-PAK as a result of Buyer’s inability to receive the Products.

(g)   Buyer agrees to immediately inspect all Products upon its receipt of them and will be deemed to accept the Products upon receipt. Any claims for shortages, discrepancies, defects or nonconformities will be waived by Buyer unless made in writing to KOR-PAK within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt of the Products.

(h)   Manufacturing tolerances are ± 10% of quantity.

(i)    Until Buyer has fully and finally paid all amounts owed to KOR-PAK for any Products, Buyer shall hold such Products in trust for KOR-PAK, and KOR-PAK may repossess them if Buyer fails to pay for them in a timely fashion.

(j)    KOR-PAK shall be excused from performing any of the obligations under this Agreement which are prevented or delayed by an occurrence wholly outside of the control of KOR-PAK. This includes without limitation destruction or damage to the goods or facilities of KOR-PAK or its vendors or suppliers, strikes or other labor matters, floods, fire, accidents, riots, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, explosion or any regulations, rules, ordinances or orders of any governmental authority, whether foreign, federal, state or local. If any such event shall occur, KOR-PAK shall have the right to determine any reasonable formula of prorating under such circumstances and may terminate the order as to the undeliverable portion or may deliver when available.

 

  1. Cancellation.

    No order may be canceled or changed in whole or in part without the prior written consent of KOR-PAK. Cancellation of any order may be subject to additional fees, including but not limited to KOR-PAK’s expenses already incurred and additional restocking fees.

    KOR-PAK allows you to return Products for a refund (less the applicable restocking fee) that you have purchased Products within ninety (90) days of receiving such Products.  Beyond this ninety (90) day period, KOR-PAK only accepts the return of Products that are subject to the manufacturer’s warranty. All such returns are subject to KOR-PAK’s 35% “restocking fee.”
