FHC Standard Terms and Conditions

1. Terms and Conditions Govern all sales by (FHC) Frameless Hardware Company a California corporation, and/or its divisions A subsidiaries (hereinafter alternatively referred to collectively as “FHC” or “FHC” to any buyer (“Buyer”) shall be governed exclusively by these FHC Inc. Standard Terms and Conditions (“This Agreement”). The provisions of all purchase orders from Buyer, except for the quantity and description of the products, shall be deemed null and void. All sales are final. No agreement between FHC and Buyer shall create a third party beneficiary agreement. No general contractor or other third party may rely upon performance of This Agreement by FHC.

2. Price. No verbal quotations shall be binding, until or unless confirmed by FHC in a written quotation, confirmation, or invoice and then the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute the sole, exclusive, and entire agreement between the parties. Unless otherwise specified in writing and signed by an officer of FHC, a written price quote (“Quote”) is valid for a period of 30 days subject to FHC’S right to withdraw the Quote if the price is affected by circumstances beyond FHC’S control. The reference number on the Quote must appear on Buyer’s Purchase Order to receive the quoted price. FHC will not assume the costs for items or methods not specifically indicated on the Quote. Price is subject to final review and specifications at the time of order. Yields may affect pricing at the time Buyer’s order is placed and/or released.

3. Taxes. Prices on the products specified herein are exclusive of all taxes and other levies of taxing authorities, including, but without limitation, taxes on manufacture, sales, receipts, occupation or use. Wherever applicable as determined by FHC, such tax or taxes will be added to the purchase price as a charge to be paid by Buyer. Buyer is responsible to pay any taxes and any customs duties, fees, and tariffs. In the event FHC is required to pay any such taxes, Buyer shall immediately reimburse FHC.

4. Delivery. Delivery or shipping dates, if any, set forth in the Purchase Order are approximate only, non-binding and merely represent FHC’S best estimate of the time required to make delivery or shipment. Yields and availability of some products may affect delivery dates at the time Buyer’s order is placed and/or released. FHC’S obligations here under may also be dependent upon FHC’S ability to obtain the necessary raw materials, parts and other components. FHC will not be liable for any loss or expense (consequential, liquidated or otherwise) incurred by Buyer or Buyer’s end customers as a result of any delay in shipment for any reason other than arbitrary refusal by FHC to perform. Delivery is subject to compliance with all U.S. export rules and regulations and Buyer shall comply with the foregoing, including providing all necessary information, documents and certifications required by law. Buyer is cautioned to make allowance for delays. FHC shall not be liable to Buyer, nor to anyone else, for delays regardless of the cause of the delays.

5. Inspection and Acceptance. Buyer shall inspect each order of products upon receipt thereof. If Buyer determines that a product is nonconforming or defective (a “Rejected Product”) (provided that such non-conformity or defect did not result from damage caused after shipment by FHC), then Buyer shall deliver written notice to FHC within 24 hours following receipt of the product setting forth the alleged reason for the Rejected Product, date of purchase, date of receipt, and invoice number. Buyer shall return the Rejected Product at its cost to FHC. Unless Buyer provides FHC with such written notice within 24 hours, then such products shall be deemed finally inspected and accepted by Buyer. If FHC examines such Rejected Product to its satisfaction and determines that such damage or defect exists, and was not caused by the negligence, misuse, improper storage, or other accident of Buyer or any third party, then FHC shall replace such Rejected Product or issue a credit for the sales price of such Rejected Product. Any claim of Buyer related to damage during shipping or delivery should be made directly to the carrier (unless delivery was made by FHC). FHC’S invoice or shipping list delivered with the products, when signed by any employee of Buyer, shall be deemed accurate and binding on Buyer, and an acceptance of the products.

6. Payment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by FHC, Buyer shall submit, with each Purchase Order, payment in full of the invoice price for the Purchase Order plus anticipated shipping, sales, use, excise or similar taxes and anticipated customs duties, imposts, tariffs or other charges for such Purchase Order. All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars. If FHC expressly agrees in writing to “net 30 day payment,” payment for products purchased hereunder shall be net 30 days from the date of the applicable invoice. All orders are subject to approval of FHC’S credit department. FHC may, at any time, require payment in advance or satisfactory security for payment of an invoice when due. Buyer will not withhold payment or the purchase price of products or any other amount payable to FHC in connection with this document in the event of a dispute between Buyer and FHC.

7. Freight. Buyer shall specify the mode of delivery in Buyer’s Purchase Order. FHC shall not be responsible for loss, damage, or delay caused by Buyer’s use of contract or common carriers. Buyer will be responsible for filing and recovering on any and all freight damage claims. Buyer is responsible for discovering concealed freight damages. FHC will not be responsible for such damage. Risk of loss shall transfer to Buyer upon delivery of products to a common carrier, to Buyer’s place of business, to Buyer’s employees or agents, to a job site, or to any other location specified by Buyer.

8. Product Suitability. Buyer is solely responsible for determining whether a product purchased from FHC is suitable for Buyer’s needs or application. FHC makes no warranties regarding suitability of product(s) for Buyer’s needs. FHC will not, by responding to requests for or otherwise providing information or opinions, assume any responsibility for the design or suitability of the Buyer’s product(s) in the proposed application. Buyer will at all times be responsible for determining the suitability of FHC’ or FHC’ affiliates’ information, opinions, processes, products and services for use in Buyer’s own applications and for identifying and performing to the Buyer’s satisfaction all quality control tests and analyses necessary to assure that the Buyer’s products and services will be safe, acceptable and suitable for use under end-use conditions.

Any liability of FHC to Buyer, whether arising out of or related in any way to any contract, negligence, strict tort, warranty, or otherwise, shall be limited to FHC’s choice of any one of the following: (a) the repair of the defective products by FHC; (b) the delivery of non-defective and conforming product to BUYER or to BUYERS’ customer (c) the payment by FHC to Buyer of the reasonable cost of repairing or replacing the defective products, but not the cost of removing or reinstalling products; or (c) the cancellation of the contract, Buyer’s return of the products in question to FHC’s refund of the purchase price to Buyer. These remedies are exclusive; Buyer waives all other remedies.

11. LIMITATIONS ON FHC’ LIABILITY. FHC shall not, under any circumstances, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, be liable to BUYER or BUYER’S customer for indirect, consequential, special, economic, incidental, or punitive damages whether the damages were foreseeable or arise out of tort, strict liability, product liability, or any other legal theory, except as precluded by law. Without limiting the generality of the preceding, FHC shall not be liable for: loss of or damage to other property; lost profits or revenue; damage to reputation; the labor and material cost of removing and reinstalling defective or nonconforming products; or damages caused by delays, back-charges, or loss of use.

The jurisdiction and venue for any civil action shall be, solely and exclusively, the state courts in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or the United States District Court for the Central District of California- Western Division, as well as to all appellate courts to which an appeal may be taken from such trial courts. Each of the parties expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to move to dismiss or transfer any such action brought in such courts on the basis of any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum in any of such courts.

14. Waiver. Waiver by FHC of any breach of any of the terms and conditions set forth herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach, and the failure of FHC to exercise any right arising from any default of Buyer hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right.

15. Force Majeure. FHC shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder if such failure results from any act of God, riot, war, civil unrest, flood, earthquake, delay or interruption in shipment, compliance with import and exports regulations, or other cause beyond its reasonable control.

16. Collateral Recovery. If FHC seeks to recover payment from a collateral source, pursuant to Division 4, Part 6 (Work of Improvement) of the California Civil Code (for example, against the owner of real property on a Mechanic’s Lien claim), FHC shall only be required to credit against Buyer’s account the net amount recovered after deducting costs and actual attorneys’ fees incurred. Furthermore, in the event that Avalon is unsuccessful in its attempt to recover from a collateral source, Avalon costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in the unsuccessful attempt shall be chargeable to and collectible from Buyer.
