Terms of Payment: Subject to the approval of Seller’s Credit Department, terms are F.O.B. shipping point net 30 days from date of Seller’s invoice in U.S. currency. If any payment owed to Seller hereunder is not paid when due, it shall bear interest at a rate to be determined by Seller which shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date on which it is due until it is paid.

Prices:  Unless otherwise specified by Seller, Seller’s price for the Goods shall remain in effect for thirty (30) days after the date of Seller’s quotation or acceptance of the order for the goods, whichever is delivered first, provided an unconditional, complete authorization for the immediate manufacture and shipment of the Goods pursuant to Seller’s standard order processing procedures is received and accepted by Seller within such time period. If such authorization is not received by Seller within thirty (30) day period, Seller shall have the right to change the price for the Good to Seller‘s price in effect for the Goods at the time the order is released to final manufacture. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the price for Goods sold by Seller, but manufactured by others, shall be Seller’s price in effect at the time of shipment to Buyer.

​

Limited Warranty: Seller warrants title and that the goods provided by Seller will be free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and service until the expiration of the earlier of twelve (12) months from the date of initial operation or eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment by Seller. If, within thirty (30) days after Buyer's discovery of any warranty defects, Buyer notifies Seller thereof in writing, Seller shall, at its option, promptly repair or replace F.O.B. point of manufacture, that portion of the goods found by Seller to be defective.  Failure by Buyer to give such written notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of Buyer's claim for such defects.  Goods repaired and parts replaced during the warranty period shall be in warranty for the remainder of the original warranty period. Replacement spare parts are further warranted to meet or exceed the quality of the OEM part and to be completely interchangeable in form, fit and function to the part supplied by the OEM. Buyer's exclusive remedy shall be for damages, and Seller's total liability for any and all losses and damages arising out of any and all causes whatsoever shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the goods in respect of which such causes arise or, at Seller's option, the repair or replacement of such goods, and in no event shall Seller be liable for incidental, consequential or punitive damages resulting from any such cause.  Seller makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, or any other matter with respect to any of the goods.

​

Limitation of Remedy and Liability: Seller shall not be liable for damages caused by delay in performance. The sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty hereunder shall be limited to repair, correction or replacement under the “Limited Warranty.” In no event, regardless of the form of the claim or cause of action (whether based in contract, infringement, negligence, strict liability, other tort or otherwise), shall Seller’s liability to Buyer and/or its customers exceed the price to Buyer of the specific goods manufactured by Seller giving rise to the claim or cause of action. Only Gem-Trim’s president and/or Board of Directors are authorized to approve liability exposure beyond the valve of the purchase order price. Buyer agrees that in no event shall Sellers’s liability to Buyer and/or its customers extend to include incidental, consequential or punitive damages.
