Multilink Terms and Conditions of Sale

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

Price and Payment: All prices, unless otherwise stated, are F.O.B. shipping point and are exclusive of any federal, state, local or other taxes.  Any applicable taxes are the responsibility of the Purchaser and shall be added to the invoice unless MULTILINK is provided the appropriate, valid exemption certificate by Purchaser.  All prices are subject to change without notice.  Shipments of ten percent (10%) more or less than the order quantity constitute completed orders, unless previously agreed to by both Purchaser and MULTILINK. 

Invoices are payable in full within thirty (30) days following invoice date: Invoices outstanding past thirty (30) days following invoice date will be subject to a late payment charge of one and one half percent (1-1/2%) per month.  Failure to pay any invoice by its due date makes subsequent invoices due immediately regardless of the terms herein.  MULTILINK may option to withhold subsequent shipments until the account in question is settled to MULTILINK’S satisfaction. 

Acceptance: All orders subject to acceptance by MULTILINK.  Once placed and accepted, any order may be cancelled only upon terms exempting MULTILINK against all loss with the consent of MULTILINK. 

Title and Risk of Loss: Title and risk of loss on all material sold by MULTILINK shall pass to Purchaser upon delivery of said materials to a common carrier regardless of freight terms stated or method of payment of transportation charges. 

Transportation charges: Most shipments are via United Parcel Service and are prepaid and billed; however, MULTILINK reserves the right to specify routing of shipments.  Truck shipments will be made prepaid. 

Non-conformance return: All materials sold by MULTILINK are non-returnable except for manufacturing defects.  Upon receipt of materials, the customer will have 30 days to make a viable claim for non-conformance.  Any material shown to MULTILINK’S satisfaction to be non-conforming at time of shipment will be replaced.  MULTILINK will then render credit for the returned goods, provided MULTILINK shall not be responsible for claims beyond replacement value of the defective material.  Before returning any material, Purchaser must obtain written material return authorization from MULTILINK. 

Express warranties: MULTILINK warrants that the goods are free from any material defect in workmanship and materials under normal and proper usage for a period of one year from the date of shipment by MULTILINK.  Purchaser acknowledges that no sample or model of the goods, nor any sales literature, proposals, projections, or engineering data regarding the goods are any part of the basis of the bargain between the parties.  Purchaser has made, and relies solely upon, its own determination of the suitability, compatibility, performance, and uses of the goods, and acknowledges to MULTILINK that the Purchaser does not rely upon any oral or written representations or statements by MULTILINK regarding the goods, other than as expressly set forth in this Contract.

Purchaser’s Exclusive Remedy: IF MULTILINK BREACHES THE WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, THEN PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DEMAND THAT MULTILINK, AT MULTILINK’S COST, REPAIR THE GOODS, OR REPLACE THE GOODS IF, AFTER A REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS, THEY CANNOT BE REPAIRED.  In lieu of making any repair or replacement of the Goods, Multilink may elect to refund the total purchase price, in full satisfaction of all obligations owed to Purchaser by reason of such breach, in which case Multilink’s duty to pay the refund will be conditioned upon Purchaser permitting Multilink to inspect and take possession of the Goods.
