Terms and Conditions of Sales

1. QUOTATIONS AND ACCEPTANCES

Unless otherwise specified herein, all proposals are subject to prior sale or disposition, for immediate acceptance and subject to change without notice. Acceptances of orders are made with the mutual understanding that orders are not subject to cancellation by Buyer except upon Seller's written consent. Seller reserves the right to cancel any order if prior to the date of shipment, all previously shipped goods have not been paid for when due. The shipping date is approximate only and is conditional upon delays, nonperformance occasioned by strikes, fires, or other causes beyond our control. Upon acceptance this agreement shall be an Illinois contract and shall be interpreted and administered for all purposes under the laws of Illinois.

2. TERMS

Cash with order unless otherwise stated herein or agreed in writing. It is understood that there are no conditions or agreements outside of this written proposal and that all prior conversations, agreements or representations with reference to its subject matter are superseded and merged herein. All prices quoted are exclusive of federal, state, or local taxes and are subject to an increase equal to the amount of any such taxes either now in force or later imposed which are applicable to Buyer's order. Buyer agrees to pay any such taxes which may be billed as part of the selling price, or separately, if the Seller is required by any taxing authority to collect and pay such a tax. Unless otherwise specified herein, all sales are F.O.B. Seller's premises in Wheeling, Illinois and Buyer assumes all responsibility for transportation and all risk associated therewith. Care is taken to give reliable descriptions but these are not guaranteed and prospective purchasers are advised to check vital details. All sales are "As Is" or "As Inspected" unless otherwise specified herein. Seller reserves the right to correct typographical errors herein.

3. RETURN PRIVILEGE/DISCLAIMER WARRANTIES

Seller will accept the return of a machine sold within thirty (30) days from shipment, freight prepaid, for refund of the purchase price if conclusively proven mechanically unsatisfactory. In lieu of refund, Seller may repair such machine, at Seller's sole option. This return/repair privilege does not apply to machinery or equipment sold on an "as-is" basis or damaged in transit. Unless otherwise expressed in writing, all equipment sold at less than the original quoted price shall be considered an as-is sale. Unless otherwise provided herein, machinery or equipment purchased by Seller from third parties to fill customer orders do not carry a return/repair warranty unless specifically given by the third party seller. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER WARRANTS ONLY THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING GOOD TITLE. SELLER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.

4. TITLE

Where less than the entire purchase price is to be paid prior to delivery, title shall not pass to Buyer with delivery of the above personal property, but shall remain vested in Seller until the entire purchase price is paid. A 2% monthly service charge will be added to all overdue balances from the date of delivery. In the event that title is transferred or deemed to have been transferred by operation of law or otherwise, Buyer hereby grants and transfers to Seller, a security interest in favor of Seller in and to all machinery and equipment purchased from Seller pursuant hereto which shall come into Buyer's control or actual or constructive possession. This security interest shall secure the timely payment of all sums due to Seller from Buyer. Buyer agrees to sign and deliver to Seller such financing statements and such other documents as may be reasonably required for public filing or any other reason, all in form satisfactory to Seller and/or its attorneys as may, from time to time, be requested. Seller may, at its sole discretion, file any such financing statements or other documents. Buyer further agrees to pay any and all costs incurred by Seller (including reasonable attorney's fees) in connection with the documentation and perfection of Seller’s security interest. In the event that Buyer refuses to execute and deliver such financing statements within one (1) day of receipt thereof, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints any present or future officer of Seller as its lawful attorney in fact to take possession of, and to endorse in the name of the undersigned, any financing statement or similar instrument.

5. MACHINE USE AND SAFETY/RELEASE OF LIABILITY

Buyer acknowledges that the goods covered by this agreement are preowned (used) goods which were neither designed nor manufactured by the Seller; that Seller does not know the specific application of these goods by the Buyer; and that Seller does not know of alterations made by former owners. It is the Buyer's (user's) sole responsibility to provide proper safety devices and notices, equipment and other means which may be necessary or desirable, to safeguard the operator from harm for any particular use, operation, or set up, of machines to adequately safeguard all machinery and equipment to conform to all federal, state, and local government safety standards (including, but not limited to the Occupational Safety and Health Act if 1970 as amended), and all industry safety standards.
