Relteck (Seller) desires to provide its Customers (Buyer) with prompt and efficient service. However, to negotiate individually the terms and conditions of each sales contract would substantially impair Seller’s ability to provide such service. Accordingly products furnished and services rendered by Seller are sold only on the terms and conditions stated herein. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions on Buyer’s order, Seller’s performance of any contract is expressly made conditional on Buyer’s agreement to Seller’s Terms and Conditions of Sale unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Seller. In the absence of such agreement, commencement of performance and/or delivery shall be for Buyer’s convenience only and shall not be deemed or construed to be acceptance of Buyer’s terms and conditions, or any of them.
Seller shall not be liable for, nor be deemed in default by reason of any delay or failure in the performance of this order in any particular way when such delay or failure is caused in whole or in part by any Natural disaster or the public enemy, law, regulations, or order by any Government agency, riot, strike or civil commotion or any other cause, direct or indirect beyond the Seller’s control.
Delivery is premised on receipt of Buyer’s purchase order, test samples, and controlling test documents at Seller’s test facility. Conduct of the test program is predicated on a normal 8-hour day, 5-day workweek basis.
Seller warrants that the test data reflects the correct result of tests performed and makes no other warranty, expressed, implied, or otherwise.
Unless otherwise specified terms of payment on full or partial shipments are Net 15. Any invoices not paid in full are considered to be delinquent and are subject to a service charge of 3 percent per month.
The acceptance by Seller of any order as a result of this Quotation is subject to Seller’s approval of the Buyer’s credit. Should Buyer’s credit rating change while the order is in process the Seller reserves the right to discontinue testing, withhold test data and the test samples until full payment has been paid.
If the Buyer defaults in any payment when due, Seller reserves the right to defer delivery or cancel the order without prejudice to other lawful remedies. In the event Seller engages the services of an agency to collect such overdue amounts, Buyer agrees to pay the agency costs or fees incurred by Seller whether or not suit is brought.
A billing will be submitted for all work completed and material (if applicable) for any order that has been placed on hold for any reason for a period of thirty (30) days or more.
Payment of Seller invoices by Buyer shall not be delayed by, or contingent upon, approval or payment of Buyer’s customer or any other third party.
If the Buyer delays shipment or testing, Seller reserves the right to invoice the Buyer for an amount based upon the contract price and percentage of completion. The storage of any products delayed in production or shipment by the Buyer will be at the expense of the Buyer
In the event the Buyer shall become insolvent or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files or has filed against it, a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization, or pursues any other remedy under law relating to the relief of debtors, or in the event a receiver be appointed of Buyer’s property or business, Seller may, at its option, terminate performance under the contract and treat the Buyer in default

Seller will not be liable for damage to samples resulting from samples malfunction, failure or inability to meet specified performance requirements.
Seller’s liability for damages shall not exceed the amount it receives for the services rendered unless the Buyer notifies the Seller in writing of extraordinary value involved in a particular item and pays an additional amount for appropriate insurance coverage.

The amount of all Federal, State or local taxes applicable to the sale, use, delivery or transportation of the articles sold hereunder and all duties, imports, tariffs and other similar levies shall be added to the contract price and paid by the Buyer, except where the Buyer shall furnish appropriate certification of exemption therefrom.
Any assignment of any order by the Buyer without written consent of Seller shall be void.
Seller uses reasonable care in performing tests. However, damage caused to persons or property by material provided by Buyer to Seller shall be for the account of Buyer.
Seller will immediately notify Buyer upon failures exceeding the percent defective allowed (PDA) and will suspend further testing until advised in writing of further action to be taken.

Risk of loss to test samples in transit shall be the responsibility of Buyer unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order and acknowledged by Seller.

Unless otherwise stated, the quoted prices are based on receipt of test specimens, and required technical data within thirty (30) days after receipt of order. In the event of a delay in the commencement of work in excess of thirty (30) days, occasioned by the failure of Buyer to furnish required test specimens and any other delays on the part of the Buyer, the prices herein set forth shall not be valid unless confirmed by Seller.
In the event the material fails required testing the Seller would notify the Buyer. If the Buyer does not respond within 5 days, Seller will provide a second notification.
