Terms And Conditions

THESE CUSTOMER TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THESE “TERMS”) ARE THE ONLY TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH GOVERN THE SALE OF THE GOODS (THE “GOODS”) FROM MIXER DIRECT LLC (THE “SELLER”) TO THE BUYER NAMED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE TO THESE TERMS (THE “BUYER”). THE ACCOMPANYING SALES ORDER (HEREAFTER, THE “SALES ORDER”) AND THESE TERMS (COLLECTIVELY, THIS “AGREEMENT”) COMPRISE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS UNDERSTANDINGS, AGREEMENTS, NEGOTIATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COMMUNICATIONS, WHETHER WRITTEN AND ORAL. THESE TERMS PREVAIL OVER ANY OF BUYER’S GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR WHEN BUYER HAS SUBMITTED ITS TERMS TO SELLER. ANY TERMS, CONDITIONS AND/OR PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN BUYER’S INSTRUCTIONS OR ITS PURCHASE ORDER WHICH ARE IN ANY WAY INCONSISTENT WITH OR IN ADDITION TO THESE TERMS HEREIN ARE HEREBY REJECTED BY SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO THESE TERMS OR BINDING IN ANY WAY UPON SELLER. SELLER’S FAILURE TO OBJECT TO TERMS CONTAINED IN BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER (OR ANY OTHER COMMUNICATION FROM BUYER) OR SELLER’S FULFILLMENT OF THE BUYER’S ORDER WILL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THESE TERMS OR AN ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN BUYER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR PURCHASE ORDER AND DOES NOT SERVE TO MODIFY OR AMEND THESE TERMS.

 

  1. Price and Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall purchase the Goods from Seller at the price(s) (the “Price”) set forth as of the date the Seller accepts the Sales Order accompanying these Terms. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts are payable by Buyer. For all sales transactions subject to sales tax based on the presence of a nexus, Seller will calculate, collect, and remit the appropriate sales tax. The amount of sales tax charged will be shown on the Buyer's invoice. Buyers are responsible for providing accurate shipping or billing addresses at the time of purchase to ensure correct calculation of sales tax. Buyers with tax-exempt status must provide a valid tax exemption certificate applicable to the delivery jurisdiction before the time of purchase.  Seller will inform Buyers of any changes to its sales tax collection practices resulting from new or changed nexus statuses through updates to these Terms and Conditions or direct communication.  Buyer shall be solely and directly responsible for the reporting of sales, use, excise, and any other similar taxes in any states where Seller does not have nexus.  If sales or other transfer taxes are not paid at the time of the sale and are later determined to be applicable to the sale by a state of competent jurisdiction, the Buyer agrees to pay the sales or other transfer taxes at such later time. If legal proceedings are employed to collect any payment, all costs thereof shall be paid by the Buyer.

 

  1. Terms and Method of Payment. Buyer shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the total sales price, including, without limitation, shipping, freight, and transfer taxes, when the Goods are ready for shipment, except where satisfactory open credit is established in Seller’s sole discretion, in which case the terms will be as negotiated by the Seller and the Buyer. If the Goods are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the terms of payment set forth herein, and Buyer’s obligation to pay for such installment shall accrue regardless of whether the remaining installments are delivered. If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel performance under any or all Sales orders or agreements under which Seller has extended credit to Buyer or pursue any other remedy available to Seller. Seller’s suspension of performance may result in a rescheduling delay contingent on availability. All quotes and payments shall be in United States dollars. Buyer shall make all payments hereunder by wire transfer, check, ACH, or credit card. All late payments shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) the maximum rate allowable by law, or (ii) 2.0% per month.

 

  1. Title, Shipment, Identification, Risk of Loss, and Insurance. Title to the Merchandise shall remain, as a security interest only, in Seller until the full purchase price is paid. Failure to pay the purchase price when due shall give Seller the right, without liability, to repossess the Merchandise with or without notice and to avail itself of any other legal remedies. Unless otherwise agreed to by Seller, all shipments of the Merchandise shall be F.O.B. shipping point. The method and route of shipment shall be at Seller's discretion, unless Purchaser supplies explicit written instructions, which are agreed to in writing by Seller. If the method or route of shipment is specified by Purchaser, Seller shall have the option of requiring Purchaser to pay the delivery charges. In such case, delivery charges will be prepaid by Seller and added to the purchase price. Risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser when the Merchandise is placed in the hands of the carrier or, if no carrier is used, in the hands of the Purchaser. Until final payment is made, Purchaser shall insure the Merchandise for which it has risk of loss against damage, destruction or loss of theft, fire or other casualty for full replacement value. Purchaser shall name Seller as an additional insured and provide sufficient evidence to Seller of such required insurance.

 

  1. Delivery, Delay. Delivery dates stated, if any, are estimates and are not a guarantee of delivery on a particular date. Any Merchandise unavailable at the time of order will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible. Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for any failure or delay in performance or for any damages suffered by Purchaser by reason of such failure or delay arising from any cause not within Seller's reasonable control including but not limited to: (a) accidents to or breakdowns or mechanical failures of plant, machinery or equipment; (b) strikes, embargoes, lockouts or other disputes or unrest; (c) fires, explosions, floods, natural disasters or acts of God; (d) shortages of labor, fuel, power, materials or supplies or transportation delay; (e) war, civil disturbance, riots and armed conflict; (f) governmental action, order, confiscation or other acts directly or indirectly affecting Seller's performance hereunder; or (g) Seller's inability to obtain the Merchandise.

 

  1. Buyer’s Acts or Omissions. If Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay. Buyer acts or omission may include, but not be limited to, inaccurately describing the material properties of the products being made; inadequately describing or omitting how additional materials are added to the agitation process; inadequately describing, or omitting process details or equipment integration (including pipes, fittings, valves, pumps or any other equipment attached to Seller’s Goods) which may impact performance or operation of delivered Goods; or inaccurate or unclear shipping instructions. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that upon Seller’s delivery of the Goods to the common carrier at the Seller’s shipping facility, the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Seller is fixed and is not contingent upon any subsequent act, including, without limitation, the payment or non-payment by a customer of the Buyer.

 

  1. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. Buyer shall inspect the Goods within ten (10) business days of delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Point (“Inspection Period”). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods before the end of the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” means only Goods shipped that are different than the quantity or quality identified in the Sales Order. The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller or common carrier on dispatch from Seller’s facility is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer unless Buyer provides conclusive evidence to the contrary within ten (10) business days of delivery of the Goods. The Buyer is responsible for any costs associated with inspecting the Goods, provided the Seller shall reimburse the Buyer’s inspection costs for Nonconforming Goods. If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. The Seller shall pay the shipping expense for Nonconforming Goods returned to the Seller and incur the risk of loss. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 7 are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.

 

  1. Limited Warranty. For new equipment, The Seller warrants to the first user (the buyer) that the equipment’s components manufactured by it will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and proper maintenance for a period of twelve (12) months from the date the equipment is shipped from its plant. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPORE, PERFORMANCE, OR OTHERWISE. 

    For used equipment, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED ON THE SALES ORDER AND/OR INVOICE FACE, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE PURCHASE OF ALL MERCHANDISE IS "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS".  SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE MERCHANDISE TO PURCHASER, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

     The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after notifying Seller of a warranty claim; (ii) the defect arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller's instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, or maintenance of the Goods; (iii) the defect arises because the Goods are used by Buyer to any degree outside of normal intended use, which shall include, but are not limited to, use or storage of chemicals not expressly listed in Seller's published functional specifications for the Goods or industry specifications commercially known and practiced; (iv) Buyer runs mixer without the designed shaft and impeller installed or fails to fill the tank to designed levels, or (v) Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of Seller.

With respect to Goods which are in breach of the Limited Warranty, (i) Buyer will obtain a return merchandise authorization (RMA) from Seller, (ii) if Seller so requests, Buyer (at Seller’s cost) returns such Goods to Seller’s warehouse or to such other location as Seller directs. If Seller elects to repair or replace such Goods, Seller shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs or replace such Goods, and such repaired or replaced Goods shall be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Such repair, replacement, or credit shall constitute fulfillment of all liability of Seller to Buyer whether based in contract, tort, indemnity, statutory provision, or otherwise. If Seller’s examination of the Goods finds that the alleged deficiencies do not exist, or were caused by accident, misuse, neglect, alteration, improper installation, unauthorized repair or improper testing by Buyer or Buyer’s agents, then, at Seller’s discretion, Seller may ship the Goods back to Buyer at Buyer’s expense.

Supplementary services or change requests by Buyer regarding the scope of engineering services will be invoiced separately based on an hourly rate of $200 per hour. Additional changes outside the subsequently defined review process or delays in Buyer approvals will delay delivery of final Goods and the Seller shall be held harmless for any material or immaterial impact caused by such delays.

 

MXD Process Engineering review process consists of two (2) phases:  “Design” approval, and “As-built” drawing. 

 

(a) At "Design" phase, Seller will present engineering drawing to review and approve the overall geometry and key features of any tanks, specifications of the mixers and control systems, and delineation of any and all additional equipment needed to support the Buyer’s process. The Seller will provide two (2) rounds of review and revision to refine the design based on the Buyer's written feedback. Additional reviews and revisions beyond two (2) rounds of revision will incur additional fees at $1,000 plus $200 per hour time and materials until approved during this phase. The Buyer will sign the concept drawings, at which point the proposal will be considered at Design Complete: which signifies the Buyer's acceptance of the fundamental design parameters of the Goods provided by the Seller. The seller is approved to begin purchasing raw materials at this time. If at any point the Buyer decides to change the fundamental design parameters of any of the Seller’s Goods, the Buyer agrees to pay 5% of the total project fee and all purchased raw materials or $2,500 plus $200 per hour time and materials, whichever is greater.

 

(b) At “As-Built Drawing” phase, the Buyer agrees to the final placement of all features, fittings, and signs off on the engineering drawings. After signing, the project will be considered "Drawing Approved." Delivery of Engineering Services shall be regarded as completed on the date of receipt of the engineering documentation specified in the contract and completed at “Drawing Approval.” The time schedule in accordance with this contract is preconditioned on the due fulfilment of all contractual obligations by Buyer. In case Buyer doesn’t fulfill its payment obligations or any other contractual obligations in time, the time schedule will be adjusted accordingly. Buyer shall notify Seller of any claims in regard to the engineering documentation within 7 days from the date of receipt of the engineering documentation, otherwise the delivery of the engineering documentation respectively the engineering services shall be regarded as fully accepted by Buyer. In case of non-conformity of the engineering documentation with the documents to be provided under this contract, Seller has the right to take remedial steps within a reasonable time-frame to be agreed upon between the parties. In no case shall Buyer be entitled to a price reduction in case of non-conformity. In addition, the Seller reserves the right to delay start of production until receipt of all payments in accordance with agreed upon terms set at the beginning of the project.
