All sales of products and services by STOKES ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC., and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates ("Seller"), are conditional on acceptance of these terms and condition by the buyer named on Seller's quotation, acknowledgement or invoice ("Buyer"). In these Terms and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms”), any products sold by Seller to Buyer are referred to below as "goods," and any services sold by Seller to Buyer are called "services."
If Buyer has not otherwise expressly agreed to these Terms, then Buyer's acceptance of delivery of, or payment for, goods or services shall constitute Buyer's agreement to these Terms in their entirety. These Terms shall govern all sales of goods and/or services by Seller to Buyer and, except as expressly provided herein, shall supersede the terms and conditions contained on any purchase order or other document submitted to Seller by Buyer. All other terms and conditions contained in any other communication between Buyer and Seller, oral or written, including, without limitation, Buyer's purchase order, other than the identity of and quantity of the item(s) being purchased, are null and void and are hereby rejected and shall not be binding upon Seller. No change, modification, rescission, discharge, abandonment, or waiver of these terms and conditions shall be binding upon Seller unless made in writing and signed on its behalf by an officer of Seller. No conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement, purporting to modify, vary, explain, or supplement these terms and conditions shall be binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound. Any proposed modifications or additional terms are specifically rejected and deemed a material alteration hereof. If this document shall be deemed an acceptance of a prior offer by Buyer, such acceptance is expressly conditional upon Buyer's assent to any additional or different terms set forth herein.
Unless otherwise quoted, prices shall be those in effect at time of shipment, which shall be made F.O.B. shipping point, prepaid and bill. Seller has the right to increase its prices at any time without notice, subject to any other written agreement between Seller and Buyer concerning pricing.
Payment terms are as stated on Seller’s invoice or as otherwise mutually agreed. As a condition of the sales agreement, a monthly service charge of the lesser of 11/2% or the maximum permitted by law may be added to all accounts not paid by net due date. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards are accepted at point of purchase only. If at any time Seller determines that Buyer's financial condition or credit rating does not justify a sale on credit or if Buyer is at any time in default in any indebtedness or obligation that Buyer owes to Seller, then Seller may require advance payment or may ship goods C.O.D. Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by Buyer and Seller, all payments shall be in U.S. Dollars.
In addition to any price specified for the sale of goods, Buyer shall pay the gross amount of any present or future sales, use, excise, value-added or other similar tax applicable to the price, sale, or delivery of any product or services furnished hereunder, or to their use by Seller or Buyer, or Buyer shall furnish Seller with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. In the event any purchases are subsequently held to be taxable, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the amount of any taxes or penalties involved.
Seller is not to be accountable for delays in delivery occasioned by acts of God, failure of its suppliers to ship or deliver on time, or other circumstances beyond Seller’s reasonable control. Factory shipment or delivery dates are the best estimates of our suppliers, and in no case shall Seller be liable for any consequential or special damages arising from any delay in shipment or delivery.
Merchandise is not returnable without the written consent of Seller. Requests for permission to return must be made within thirty days after receipt of shipment. Seller will assign an authorized number for approved returns which must appear on both the customer’s shipping container and the related debit memo. Only current items in their original cartons standard package quantities are subject to return. All unauthorized returns will be sent back to Buyer at Buyer’s expense. Return shipments must be pre-paid and shipped in accordance with the instructions set forth on the return authorization form. Credit will be issued, less any transportation charges and service charges, to cover handling, inspection, counting, repacking, etc.
The goods sold by Seller are products of recognized manufacturers sold under their respective brand or trade name in accordance with their terms and conditions. Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain from each manufacturer, in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty (copies of which will be furnished upon request) or customary practice, the repair or replacement of goods that may prove defective in material, design, or workmanship. The foregoing shall constitute the exclusive remedy of Buyer and the sole obligation of Seller. Except as to title, SELLER GIVES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE HERBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER. Seller shall not, under any circumstances be liable for any special, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, liquidated, or consequential damages to persons or property arising out of or connected with the transactions contemplated hereby or the design, manufacture, subsequent sale or use of the goods, including, but not limited to, loss of profit or revenues, loss of use of the products, or any associated equipment, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, facilities, service, or replacement power, down time costs, or claims of Buyer’s customers for such damages. Seller’s maximum cumulative liability relative to all other claims and liabilities, including that with respect to direct damages and obligations under any indemnity, whether or not insured, will not exceed the cost of the goods or services giving rise to the claim of liability. Seller disclaims all liability relative to gratuitous information or services provided by, but not required of seller hereunder. If Buyer transfers title to or leases the products sold hereunder to any third party, Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller and its suppliers against any such damages.
Jurisdictions have varying laws, codes and regulations governing construction, installation, and/or use of goods for a particular purpose. Certain goods may not be available for sale in all areas. Seller does not guarantee compliance or suitability of the goods it sells with any laws, codes or regulations, nor does Seller accept responsibility for construction, installation and/or use of goods. It is Buyer’s responsibility to review the product application and all applicable laws, codes and regulations for each relevant jurisdiction to be sure that the construction, installation, and/or use involving the goods are compliant.

Convention Against Corruption, and the InterAmerican Convention Against Corruption in Buyer’s country or any country where performance of this agreement or delivery of goods will occur.

Price and, if necessary, delivery will be equitably adjusted to compensate Seller for the cost of compliance with any other laws and regulations.
Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller with respect to all damages, losses, claims and expenses, including consequential and incidental damages and actual attorney fees, that Seller incurs as a result of Buyer's breach of any of Buyer's obligations under these Terms, any claimed unfair competition or patent, trademark or copyright infringement or any other claim resulting from or in connection with the sale, transport, installation or use of the goods or Seller's supplier's manufacture of the goods, or performance of the services, to Buyer's specifications. If Buyer brings a claim against Seller arising out of or relating to these Terms or the goods or services, and Seller ultimately prevails or Buyer eventually elects not to further pursue the claim, then Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such claim, including but not limited to actual attorney fees.
The failure of Seller to insist upon the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this agreement or to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such terms, conditions, or rights in the future, nor shall it be deemed to be a waiver of any other term, condition, or right under these Terms.
Buyer shall not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Seller, and any such assignment, without such consent, shall be void.
All typographical or clerical errors made by Seller in any quotation, acknowledgment or publication are subject to correction.
