DOCKSIDE CANVAS COMPANY


TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY TO ALL GOODS AND/OR SERVICES (“PRODUCTS”) SOLD AND/OR PERFORMED BY DOCKSIDE CANVAS COMPANY (“DOCKSIDE”) AND ARE INCORPORATED INTO EACH AND EVERY SALES ORDER, QUOTATION OR OTHER DOCUMENT ISSUED BY DOCKSIDE. BY PURCHASING PRODUCTS FROM DOCKSIDE, CUSTOMER INDICATES THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITHOUT MODIFICATION.

  1. Offer; Acceptance; Exclusive Terms of Contract. DOCKSIDE’s sales order, quotation or other offer document, together with these Terms and Conditions (“Sales Order”) constitutes DOCKSIDE’s offer to the customer identified in the Sales Order (“CUSTOMER”) to sell the Products identified in the Sales Order and otherwise to enter into the agreement the Sales Order describes and the Sales Order shall be the complete and exclusive statement of such offer and agreement (“Contract”). The Contract is formed when CUSTOMER accepts the Sales Order by written acknowledgement or by the issuance to DOCKSIDE of a purchase order or other document for the purchase of the Products (“Purchase Order”). Acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions expressly referenced on the face of the Sales Order. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in CUSTOMER’s Purchase Order, neither DOCKSIDE’s failure to object to CUSTOMER’s terms and conditions, nor DOCKSIDE’s delivery of Products, commencement of performance, or any other conduct in furtherance of DOCKSIDE’s supply of the Products to CUSTOMER shall constitute acceptance of CUSTOMER’s terms and conditions. Where a Sales Order and/or Purchase Order is not issued as described above, DOCKSIDE’s order acknowledgement or other confirmation document, together with these Terms and Conditions, shall be the complete and exclusive statement of the Contract described herein.
  2. Adjustments. DOCKSIDE reserves the right to equitably adjust the price and delivery terms of the Contract in the event of, and as a condition to, any changes in the specifications, timing, quantity or other requirements for Products or the scope of any work covered by the Contract.
  3. Shipping and Delivery. All sales of Products are F.O.B. DOCKSIDE’s facility unless otherwise expressly stated in the Sales Order. Where Products are shipped, responsibility of DOCKSIDE shall cease upon delivery to and receipt of the Products by a common carrier at which point CUSTOMER will bear all risk of loss for the Products. Deliveries of Products may be changed, deferred or canceled by CUSTOMER only upon specific agreement in writing by DOCKSIDE and DOCKSIDE may condition such agreement upon CUSTOMER’s assumption of liability and payment to DOCKSIDE for: (a) all completed work at the Contract price; (b) a sum equal to the costs of work in process including costs accrued for labor and material, (c) any amount for which DOCKSIDE is liable by reason of commitments made by DOCKSIDE to its suppliers and/or subcontractors, and (d) any other loss, cost or expense of DOCKSIDE as a result of such change, deferment or cancellation.
  4. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Sales Order, all accounts are due and payable in U.S. currency with a 50% deposit down at the time of the Sales Order and the balance due immediately upon delivery of the Products. If any payment owed to DOCKSIDE is not paid when due, it shall bear interest at the lesser of 18% per annum (1.5% per month) or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date on which it is due until it is paid. Credit and delivery of Products shall be subject to DOCKSIDE’s approval. In the event CUSTOMER defaults under its payment terms or DOCKSIDE otherwise deems itself insecure for any reason, DOCKSIDE may, without notice, suspend deliveries of Products, cancel all credit available to CUSTOMER, require that any invoices outstanding be immediately due and payable in full, and refuse to make any further credit advances. CUSTOMER is prohibited from and shall not setoff against or recoup from or otherwise debit, chargeback or net from any amounts due or to become due from CUSTOMER or its affiliates any amounts due or to become due from DOCKSIDE or its affiliates, whether arising under the Contract or under any other agreement. CUSTOMER shall be responsible for all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by DOCKSIDE in collecting or enforcing payment under the Contract.
  5. Prices. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Sales Order, prices for Products do not include storage, handling, packaging or transportation charges, service charges or entry fees from outside facilities or any applicable federal, state, local or foreign duties or taxes. DOCKSIDE reserves the right to increase Product prices in the event of increases in its raw material or component costs, labor costs or other costs or expenses arising after the date of the Sales Order. The price for Products sold by DOCKSIDE that are finished products manufactured by third parties shall be DOCKSIDE’s price in effect at the time of shipment to CUSTOMER.
  6. Limited Warranty. DOCKSIDE warrants that at the time of delivery to CUSTOMER, the Products will (a) be free from defects in material, but only to the extent such materials are warranted to DOCKSIDE by the third-party manufacturers or other vendors of such materials, (b) be free from defects in DOCKSIDE’s workmanship, and (c) conform to the specifications that are a part of the Sales Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any Products sold by DOCKSIDE that are finished products manufactured by third parties, the warranty delivered to DOCKSIDE by the manufacturer or other vendor of such Products shall, to the extent assignment is permitted by the terms thereof, be assigned to CUSTOMER and shall be expressly in lieu of any other warranty, express or implied, of or by DOCKSIDE for such Products. CUSTOMER shall make available for inspection and testing by DOCKSIDE all Products claimed by CUSTOMER to be defective or nonconforming. Any claim for defective or nonconforming Products must be verified by DOCKSIDE and, upon verification, DOCKSIDE’s liability shall be limited to the replacement or repair, at DOCKSIDE’s election, of such part of the Product in question as DOCKSIDE may determine is defective or nonconforming. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND DOCKSIDE MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DOCKSIDE SPECIFICALLY, BUT NOT BY WAY OF LIMITATION, DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS IN THE APPLICATION(S) SELECTED BY CUSTOMER AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY. DOCKSIDE FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR PRODUCTS THAT ARE FURTHER PROCESSED BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR IN ANY WAY CHANGED BY CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FROM THE PRODUCTS DELIVERED BY DOCKSIDE; THAT ARE DAMAGED OR CAUSE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF MISUSE, ACCIDENT, NEGLECT, OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION, HANDLING, CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, SECUREMENT, TRANSPORTATION, ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS ON THE PART OF CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY; OR THAT ARE DAMAGED OR CAUSE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF VANDALISM, ACTS OF GOD, ANIMALS, POOLING OF WATER, SNOW OR ICE, CONTACT WITH SHARP OR OBTRUSIVE OBJECTS, CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS, POOR VENTILATION, OR EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS, ABRASIVES, CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, CLEANING AGENTS, LUBRICANTS OR OTHER HARSH SUBSTANCES.
  7. Order Assistance. From time to time, CUSTOMER may request, and DOCKSIDE may offer, certain order assistance, including, without limitation, advice, recommendations and/or other suggestions as to the design, specifications, use and suitability of certain Products. CUSTOMER acknowledges and agrees that such advice, recommendations and/or other suggestions by DOCKSIDE with respect to any Products do not constitute any warranties with respect to any Products. DOCKSIDE disclaims any such warranties and CUSTOMER assumes full responsibility for accepting and/or using such advice, recommendations and/or other suggestions.
  8. Returns. No returned Products will be accepted for any reason unless a valid return authorization for such Products is first secured from an authorized representative of DOCKSIDE and such return is shipped in accordance with DOCKSIDE’s instructions.
  9. Termination. Neither CUSTOMER nor DOCKSIDE shall have any right to terminate the Contract, or any part thereof, except where the other party materially defaults in any of its obligations under the Contract and the default is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to the defaulting party by the non-defaulting party. Upon any such termination by either party, (a) DOCKSIDE shall be relieved of any further obligation to CUSTOMER (including, without limitation, any obligation with respect to production or delivery), (b) CUSTOMER shall be liable to DOCKSIDE for the immediate payment of amounts then billed to date by DOCKSIDE to CUSTOMER, (c) CUSTOMER shall purchase and pay DOCKSIDE immediately for all raw materials, components, work in process and finished goods acquired or produced by DOCKSIDE in connection with the Contract, and (d) CUSTOMER shall immediately reimburse DOCKSIDE for all other loss, cost or expense of DOCKSIDE as a result of the termination of the Contract.

IN NO EVENT SHALL DOCKSIDE’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY CONTRACT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, SALE, DELIVERY, INSTALLATION, HANDLING, CLEANING, STORAGE, REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE ALLEGED TO BE DEFECTIVE OR NONCONFORMING OR THE CAUSE OF ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE, WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL DOCKSIDE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF REVENUE AND COST OF CAPITAL) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CONTRACT OR ANY PRODUCTS. ANY CLAIM BY CUSTOMER AGAINST DOCKSIDE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY CONTRACT OR ANY PRODUCTS CANNOT BE FILED, MADE OR MAINTAINED, AND SHALL BE DEEMED WAIVED, UNLESS FILED WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER DOCKSIDE HAS SHIPPED OR PROVIDED THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION. THE LIMITATIONS ON DOCKSIDE’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS SECTION 10 SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISIONS OF ANY MANUFACTURER OR OTHER VENDOR WARRANTY REFERENCED UNDER SECTION 6 HEREOF.
  11. Compliance. CUSTOMER shall be solely responsible for compliance with any federal, state or local or laws, rules, regulations and ordinances or any industry standards that may be applicable to the Products.

No Proprietary Materials created by DOCKSIDE in connection with or pursuant to the Contract shall be considered “works made for hire” as that term is used in connection with the U.S. Copyright Act.
  13. Confidentiality. CUSTOMER shall maintain the confidentiality of all technical, business or financial information of DOCKSIDE (“Confidential Information”) in the same manner in which it protects its own confidential information of like kind, but in no event shall CUSTOMER take less than reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure, publication, dissemination or use of the Confidential Information. Upon termination of the Contract, CUSTOMER shall return the Confidential Information and shall not use the Confidential Information for its own, or any third party’s, benefit.
  14. Excusable Delay. DOCKSIDE shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform if such delay or failure to perform is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God or public authority, riots or other public disturbances, labor disputes of any kind, power failures, failure of CUSTOMER to provide required information, failure of CUSTOMER to provide adequate containers, or the change in cost or availability of raw materials, components or services based on market conditions, supplier actions or contract disputes. During any such delay or failure to perform by DOCKSIDE, DOCKSIDE’s obligations under the Contract shall be suspended and DOCKSIDE shall not have any obligation to provide CUSTOMER with Products from other sources or to pay or reimburse CUSTOMER for any additional costs to CUSTOMER of obtaining substitute Products. DOCKSIDE may, during any period of shortage due to any of the above circumstances allocate its available supply of Products among itself and its customers in any manner that DOCKSIDE deems fair and reasonable in its sole discretion.
  15. Assignment. The Contract shall not be assigned in whole or in part by CUSTOMER without the prior written consent of DOCKSIDE.
  16. Waiver. Waiver by DOCKSIDE of any of the terms or conditions of the Contract shall be effective only if in writing and signed by DOCKSIDE, and shall not constitute a waiver of such terms as to any subsequent events or conditions, whether similar or dissimilar.

  18. Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions and any other terms and conditions, attachments, exhibits or supplements expressly referenced on the face of the Sales Order, constitute the entire agreement and Contract between DOCKSIDE and CUSTOMER with respect to the matters contained herein and therein and supersede all prior oral or written representations and agreements. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, the Contract may only be modified by a written agreement signed by DOCKSIDE.
