The terms of sale for in stock, out of stock, special ordered, or custom-made building materials (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date a customer (“Buyer”) places an order with Golden State Lumber, Inc. (“Seller”) unless earlier entered into by Buyer’s execution of Seller’s Credit Application/Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Effective Date”).
Upon satisfaction of all conditions set forth in these Terms of Sale, Seller will sell to Buyer stock on hand or out-of-stock specially ordered building materials (collectively the “Product”) or custom building materials to be manufactured in accordance with Buyer’s specifications, or building materials not stocked by Seller (collectively a “Special Order”). Seller may provide a quotation on a form described as a “Quote” and later if Seller proceeds to purchase from Seller, that sales order, whether in a paper writing, electronically, or verbally communicated, including by a request for a Product or Special Order, or both (collectively “Building Materials”), and sometimes without an agreement as to price, will be subsequently reflected in an invoice to Buyer with the price to be charged by Seller (any of which are a “Sales Order”). Unless expressly stated otherwise, the prices are quoted in U.S. dollars and the Quote does not include delivery charges, fuel surcharges, or taxes, all of which will be additionally charged to Buyer by Seller, and will be charged in all documentation identified by Buyer as a Sales Order, or invoice, or any combination of the foregoing, including all of the foregoing, if applicable. A Quote is only valid the day provided unless specified for a longer period of time in writing on the Quote, and is only valid if the Quote is accepted in its entirety. Pricing and availability will not necessarily be honored if Buyer only agrees to purchase some, but not all, of the Building Materials or agrees to purchase some or all of the Building Materials on a date different than the date of the Quote or a date outside of the dates which the Quote expressly states the Quote may be accepted.
The Terms of Sale herein shall come into full force and effect on the date Seller receives the down payment referred to in Article 7 (Payments) hereof (the “Effective Date”). In the event that all of the foregoing conditions have not been fulfilled by the Expiration Date, it is understood and agreed that Seller may terminate this Agreement immediately. Acceptance by the Seller of an untimely Quote is in the Seller’s sole discretion.
Any order subject to this Agreement shall expire five (5) business days from Seller’s provision of the Quote to Buyer (the “Quotation Date”), unless earlier revoked by Seller (the “Expiration Date’).
The purchase price of the Product is that sum which appears in the Quote subject to Section 1 above (the “Purchase Price”).
Seller will deliver the Building Materials (collectively “Building Materials”) to Buyer at the Seller’s location identified in the Sales Order or at any one of Seller’s lumber yards selected by Buyer when the Product is available for pick-up or delivery (the “Arrival Site”). Absent express instructions from the Buyer concerning the Arrival Site, Seller will deliver the Building Materials to the lumber yard at which the Buyer placed Buyer’s order, the lumber yard closest to the sales office at which Buyer placed the order, or at Seller’s distribution center at Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer shall give Seller at least 2 business days (business days are those days which Seller is regularly open to the public) prior notice of Buyer’s intent to take physical possession of the Building Materials. Seller shall furnish the facilities and labor necessary for the loading of the Building Materials onto Buyer’s vehicle as directed by Buyer if so desired. The cost of Seller’s storage of the Building Materials, if any, will be paid by Buyer. Seller agrees to store the Building Materials for five (5) calendar days from the date on which the Building Materials arrive at the Arrival Site at no additional cost to the Buyer. Each calendar day of storage thereafter may incur a reasonable storage charge determined in Seller’s sole discretion. If Buyer does not retrieve the Building Materials after thirty (30) calendar days, Seller may dispose of the Building Materials as Seller deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Seller may, in its sole discretion, agree with Buyer to deliver the Building Materials to a location other than the Arrival Site, but, Buyer shall pay Seller additional funds for such delivery. Buyer bears the risk of loss if the Building Materials are stored by Seller if Buyer elects to not take physical possession of the Building Materials when the Building Materials are ready for pickup or delivery. This means no bailment is created by storage, Buyer expressly releases Seller from Seller’s own negligence in the storage of the Building Materials, and Buyer acknowledges that the Building Materials may become damaged, destroyed, or stolen on account of exposure to weather, mold, mildew, water, rain, flooding, fire, theft, vandalism, or some other human or natural cause, even though Buyer will be financially obligated to the Seller for the entire price charged by Seller to Buyer without any right in law or equity to any offset, setoff, or discount. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may not be able to deliver the Building Materials to locations other than the Arrival Site. If Seller determines in its sole direction that delivery is impractical to the project site or warehouse designated by Buyer, Seller will notify Buyer and instead deliver the Building Materials to one of Seller’s locations as described herein, and Seller will refund to Buyer any extra delivery fees if Buyer has a zero-dollar balance with Seller. Title to the Building Materials sold hereunder will be deemed to pass to the Buyer upon delivery to the Buyer and/or Buyer’s removal of the Building Materials from Seller’s locations.
Seller will not install the Building Materials. Buyer is solely responsible for the installation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Buyer will pay the Purchase Price when Buyer places an order for Building Materials unless Buyer has a credit account with Seller, in which case, Buyer’s Credit Application/Agreement will control. If the item being purchased is a Special Order, Seller may require a deposit or the full price upon acceptance of the Quote. Upon delivery, Seller will apply the deposit to the Sales Order and Buyer shall pay the balance, sales tax, and delivery charges prior to pick-up or delivery of the Building Materials to the Arrival Site. At Seller’s discretion, Seller may wait to invoice Buyer any unpaid monies until the Special Order’s manufacture is complete.
Seller retains a security interest in the Building Materials (and replacements) until the full purchase price (including taxes and additional charges) has been paid. Buyer’s failure to pay any amount when due shall give Seller the right to repossess and remove the Building Materials should Seller deliver the Building Materials prior to payment in full. Such repossession and removal shall be without prejudice to any of Seller’s other remedies at law or in equity. Buyer agrees, without further consideration, at any time to do or cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts and instruments as Seller may reasonably request in order to perfect and protect Seller’s security interest in the Product, including, without limitation, a financing statement appropriate for filing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller reserves the right to exercise any mechanics’ lien, stop payment notice, or payment bond remedies as cumulative remedies. Buyer acknowledges that none of the remedies set forth in this Section 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement are exclusive. Seller may pursue any remedies to protect its interests as allowed by law within Seller’s sole discretion
The Special Order is being made specifically for Buyer. Seller does not know when the Special Order will be ready for Buyer. Any representation as to the delivery date is a rough estimate, and accordingly, Seller shall store the Product for thirty (30) calendar days without charge, as set forth above in Section 5 (Buyer to Take Possession at Seller’s Place of Business Unless Specified Otherwise). Buyer waives any claims against Seller for delay damages.
Buyer may not reject or revoke its acceptance of any Building Materials unless the nonconformity of such Building Materials is substantial. No nonconformity or defect, including a substantial one, shall constitute grounds for claiming breach of the Agreement, and any Building Materials whose conformity Buyer does not dispute shall be paid for in accordance with these terms and conditions, regardless of any dispute concerning other shipments, or undelivered Building Materials. Seller reserves the right to cure, by repair or replacement, any defects within a reasonable time after receiving written notice of such defects from Buyer. Buyer shall provide Seller written notice of any claimed defect in such Building Materials upon delivery (other than latent defects not discovered by Buyer). Buyer agrees that such notice period is reasonable. Failure to give timely notice, as provided above, shall be deemed irrevocable acceptance of such Building Materials.
If Buyer has accepted the Building Materials tendered under this Agreement in any manner provided in the California Uniform Commercial Code, Buyer shall have no right to subsequently reject the Building Materials for any reason and to revoke acceptance of nonconforming Building Materials.
Seller offers no warranties for the Building Materials. If a manufacturer’s warrant exists, Seller shall notify Buyer of the warranty when the Building Materials are delivered. The foregoing warranty shall not apply to any Building Materials which have been:
(a) Used or operated in a manner inconsistent with the use intended by Seller;
(b) Modified or repaired by anyone other than Seller’s personnel or Seller’s authorized service representatives in a manner which adversely affects its operations or reliability; or
(c) Damaged because of accident, neglect or misuse by anyone other than Seller’s personnel, failure or surge of electrical power, air conditioning or humidity control, transportation, or other causes other than ordinary use.
Seller disclaims all liability for (i) any defect arising from normal wear and tear, willful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow Seller’s instructions (whether oral or in writing), misuse or alteration or repair of the Building Materials without the Seller’s approval; (ii) for external causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, problems with electrical power, riot, vandalism, theft, fire flood, wind, lightning, freezing, acts of God; (iii) for problems caused by installation, removal or re-installation of the Building Materials or a portion thereof; (iv) for usage not in accordance with instructions; (v) for failure to perform maintenance; or (vi) for problems caused by using incompatible accessories, parts, or components.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL BUYER AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SELLER SHALL IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR OTHER PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE.
The above exclusions of liability are not applicable to residents of New Jersey. With respect to residents of New Jersey, Seller shall not be liable for any damages unless such damages are the result of Seller’s negligent or reckless acts or omissions.
SOME STATES AND/OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
(a) Prior to commencement of Building Materials production, Buyer shall evaluate any custom sample and sign a quote, bid, or final plans, applicable. Seller does not warrant that the Building Materials when delivered shall conform in all respects to the sample exhibited to Buyer, as explained below.
(b) Stains: Soil conditions, climatic conditions and pests affect tree growth rates, grain development, and wood colorations. The wood grain and color are as individual as the conditions under which the tree grew. The early wood and late wood in each tree vary in color, grain pattern and density. A product of natural wood reflects these variations in the final finish. The amount of color variation perceived will depend upon wood species, lightness of stain, and lighting conditions. A good example of this is a light stain on oak which displays significant color variation. Pine is also a soft wood and will not resist abrasions as well as hardwood species. In all cases, some effort is taken to eliminate radical grain and color variations from your Building Materials, and therefore variations in the finish due to varying wood characteristics do not qualify for product replacement or warranty.
Color variances occur with age as a result of photochemical reaction to natural and some artificial light. This natural mellowing is more evident in cherry, pine and maple. Lighter finishes and natural finishes referred to as “seal and varnish” will mellow more rapidly than a dark finish. These differences are considered to be the distinctive character and beauty of a natural wood product.
(c) Paints: Painted finishes have inherent challenges. Because the painted finish is smooth, imperfections are magnified. Even the smallest imperfection will stand out on a painted finish that would normally go unnoticed on a stained finish. Stress lines may appear at joints. These lines are not an indication of finish failure.
(d) Distressing and glazing may be hand applied and will produce variation within the overall appearance, designed to be somewhat inconsistent on individual pieces but blend together on an entire installation. Expect some lighter and darker glazing or lighter or heavier distressing throughout.
(a) Seller shall in no event have obligations or liabilities to Buyer or any other person for loss of profits, loss of use or incidental, special or consequential damages, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or any other theory or form of action, even if Seller has been advised of the possibility thereof, arising out of or in connection with the sale, delivery, use, repair or performance of the Building Materials, or any failure or delay in connection with any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Seller shall not be liable for personal injury or property damage.
(b) Seller’s sole liability for any claims, whether based in contract or tort, at law or in equity, for any loss or damages arising, resulting from, or connected with the Building Materials, shall be limited to the remedies set forth in paragraph 74 hereinbelow.
Seller shall be entitled to all incidental damages including but not limited to all commercially reasonable charges incurred:
(a) In stopping delivery under the Uniform Commercial Code;
(b) In storing the Building Materials after a breach by Buyer; and
(c) In connection with the return or resale of Building Materials as well as for any other damages resulting from Buyer’s breach.
If the performance of this Agreement or any obligation hereunder, except the making of payments hereunder, is prevented, restricted or interfered with by reason of fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or other casualty or accident; a pandemic or epidemic; a government ordered evacuation or shelter-in-place instruction; strikes or labor disputes; inability to procure parts, supplies or power; war or other violence; any law, order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand or requirement of any government agency; or any other act or condition whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, the party so affected, upon giving prompt notice to the other party, shall be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction or interference; provided, however, that the party so affected shall take all reasonable steps to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and shall resume performance hereunder with dispatch whenever such causes are removed. Buyer waives the right to assert any defense based on impossibility, frustration of purpose, or impracticability.
Failure to make any payment when due in accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute a default. Finance charges will begin to accrue on a daily basis for the day after which payment was due but not paid at 18% per annum unless a lesser sum is stated in Buyer’s Credit Application/Agreement with Seller or required by law, in which case the maximum legal rate will be charged. Seller is entitled, but not obligated, to terminate this Agreement in the event of a default by Buyer. Such decision is within Seller’s sole discretion.
Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party is insolvent or has made any assignment by operation of law or otherwise of this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder for the benefit of creditors.
(a) A Special Order is a custom build-to-suit order which cannot reasonably be sold by Seller to another customer. Accordingly, a Special Order is not subject to cancellation by Buyer for any reason. Seller is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of any measurement or other specifications furnished by Buyer.
(b) While Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill all orders, Seller cannot guarantee the availability of any particular product. Seller reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any product listed at any time without notice. Seller reserves the right to limit quantities to the amount reasonable for Seller’s regular customers. Seller does not guarantee that any content is accurate or complete, including price information and product specifications. If Seller discovers price errors, Seller will correct the prices in its systems, and the corrected price will apply to Buyer’s order. Seller reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions (including after an order has been submitted and accepted).
(c) Seller may cancel this Agreement at any time if Seller reasonably determines that its performance hereunder is commercially impracticable. Seller will refund any deposit unless there is a balance on the account, in which event the refund will be applied toward the Buyer’s outstanding balance with Seller in accordance with the Credit Application/Agreement, if any, and otherwise to oldest invoices first.
The parties’ representations and warranties and any other provision that, in order to give proper effect to its intent, should survive expiration or termination, will survive the expiration and/or termination of this Agreement.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing to Buyer and Seller at their respective addresses as last known. Either party may change its address by written notice to the other.
The rights of Buyer under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without the express written consent of Seller.
These Terms of Sale may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party except with the prior written consent of the other party, except that: (a) Seller may assign any of its right to receive any payment or payments from Buyer hereunder; and (b) Seller may subcontract the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that Seller shall remain primarily responsible for the performance of obligations which it subcontracted hereunder.
The failure by either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any election or option provided herein, shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions or options, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any warranty or representation by any person or entity except for the warranties or representations specifically set forth herein.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings of the parties with respect thereto. No representation, promise, modification or amendment shall be binding upon either party as a warranty or otherwise unless in writing and signed on behalf of each party by a duly authorized representative. Although Buyer may use its standard purchase order form to give any order or notice provided for hereunder, said order or notice will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any term or condition set forth in any such standard form which is inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall have no force or effect. Although Seller may use its standard invoice or delivery tag forms, this Agreement will control, and any conflict between those forms and this Agreement will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Seller’s Chief Executive Officer is the only person with authority to enter into in an agreement with Customer with terms and conditions contrary to this Agreement, and, in such an event, must do so in writing for the agreement to be enforceable.
This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any and all claims, controversies, and causes of action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws rule that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
Buyer and Seller agree that appropriate venue for any dispute between Buyer and Seller shall be in the California Superior Court in either Marin County or in the State and County of the Arrival Site.
If any legal action is brought to collect the Purchase Price hereunder, Seller shall be entitled to receive its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
The invalidity in whole or in part of any of these terms and conditions shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or condition.
If any clause of this Agreement is held to be unconscionable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the clause in question shall be modified to eliminate the unconscionable element, and, as so modified, the clause shall be binding on the parties. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by the modification of any unconscionable clause. “Unconscionable” shall be deemed to mean that the enforcement of the entire Agreement or a specific clause of the Agreement will work oppression or cause unfair surprise to one of the parties. Unconscionability shall be determined as of the time when the Agreement is made, but shall not be deemed established either by the fact that the Agreement subsequently proved disadvantageous to one of the parties or by the fact that one of the parties has bargaining power superior to that of the other.
This Agreement and all representations or covenants contained herein shall constitute binding and continuing obligations between and among the parties hereto. Each of the parties to this Agreement has agreed to the particular language and provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be deemed prepared or drafted by one party or another and should be construed accordingly.
The waiver of any breach or default by any party to this Agreement of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be considered to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument signed by all parties hereto, or by their authorized representatives.
In no way does this Agreement void any personal guarantee provided by Buyer to Seller with Buyer’s submission of the Credit Application/Agreement, nor change any material terms concerning regularly stocked product.

Seller will not accept any responsibility as to the date of delivery for any Building Materials. Delivery or will call dates are an estimate and actual delivery can vary widely due in whole or in part to the manufacturer or vendor’s scheduling, manufacturing, and delivery on account of business protocols, strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, fires, wind storms, floods, acts of God, inability to secure cars and/or trucks, volume of business, and/or any number of other causes, some of which are not in Seller’s control. Delay in delivery or will call pick-up will not constitute a default by nor result in any liability to Seller.
It is Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that all Building Code requirements are addressed in Buyer’s purchase.
Buyer must inspect the Building Materials upon receipt and if any errors or irregularities exist, Buyer must report them to Seller in writing before using the Building Materials and within 5 days of receipt. Otherwise, no claims or adjustments of any kind will be recognized. Seller assumes no responsibility for the use of the Building Materials.
All invoices are subject to verification. Corrections will be reflected on Buyer’s monthly statement.
Where delivery is made to the Buyer’s designated location, delivery will be made to the curb only. Seller will not be responsible for broken sidewalks, curbs, walks, etc., when Buyer requests delivery to the premises. Buyer assumes responsibility for all damage which results from any such delivery.
Buyer agrees to have supervisory or knowledgeable personnel at job or delivery location to accept the load. In the event the Building Materials are delivered on schedule and left unattended, rolled-off, etc., Buyer assumes all risk of loss or shortage that may occur after delivery. It is the Buyer’s receiving-agent responsibility to inspect and verify all delivered materials prior to offload from truck. If any damage or defects are detected, Buyer should refuse delivery.
Any Buyer that does not have a credit account with Seller in good standing must pay Seller in full in advance before delivery or receipt of any Building Materials.

Only Seller’s CEO has authority to recommend a contractor on behalf of Seller. Anyone else making a recommendation does so in his or her individual capacity, and not on behalf of Seller or at Seller’s direction, and Buyer should not rely on that recommendation without undertaking additional and appropriate due diligence. It is Buyer’s responsibility to vet anyone performing work on Buyer’s behalf. Seller urges Buyer to check with appropriate government agencies to satisfy Buyer that anyone Buyer retains to perform services on Buyer’s behalf is an appropriate hire. Please visit the California Contractor’s State License Board for tips as to what Buyer should know before hiring contractor at the following website: http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Resources/GuidesAndPublications/WYSKPamphlet.pdf.
Buyer is urged to visit the California Contractor’s State License Board website at https://www.cslb.ca.gov/About_Us/Library/Guides_And_Publications/ to review guidelines concerning how Buyer can protect Buyer from mechanics’ liens and what Buyer should do if Buyer is an owner-builder improving real property in the State of California.
Finger-Jointed Siding and Trim products require all end cuts be primed in exterior applications.

Cash and cash equivalent purchases exceeding $1,000.00 may be refunded by check.
The trademarks, service marks and logos (collectively the “Trademarks”) used and displayed by Seller are registered and unregistered Trademarks of Seller and others. Nothing should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed by Seller, without the prior written permission of the Trademark owner. Seller aggressively enforces its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law. The name of Golden State Lumber, Golden State Window & Door Design, Golden State, the Golden State Lumber logo, or the other Seller formatives may not be used in any way, including in advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of materials, without prior, written permission from Seller.

Each provision of this Agreement that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranty, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks of this Agreement between the parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by Seller to Buyer and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties.
Seller will not take back any item, nor refund to Buyer in the form of cash or on Buyer’s credit card or store credit, unless Buyer returns the item to Seller with a receipt within 30 days of purchase.
We impose a 2.25% surcharge on all credit card payments in satisfaction of a credit account balance to partially reimburse us 3rd party processor credit card fees.

Buyer hereby authorizes Seller to (i) investigate Buyer’s credit history and financial history and obtain credit and financial information from banks, credit bureaus, trade references, and other sources, from time to time, (ii) request each of the aforementioned to advise Seller of its credit experience with and to express an opinion as to the credit record of Buyer, and (iii) release any credit information, including but not limited to, Buyer’s balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement to Seller. Seller is authorized to receive and rely on periodic reports concerning or implying Buyer’s likely future delinquency or insolvency. If Buyer is a partnership or a sole proprietorship and/or has a personal guarantor, authorization is granted to Seller to investigate the personal credit history of the individuals, which may include obtaining personal credit reports from various reporting agencies.
If Buyer fails to provide Seller with the current list of authorized signers on Buyer’s account or notify Seller in writing of any changes to authorized signers on Buyer’s account, Buyer shall be solely responsible for unauthorized charges to Buyer’s account.
Changes in Duty and/or Freight Rates
Any changes, after date of the contract, in rate of duty, United States import taxes, or valuations by United States Customs, shall be paid by Buyer unless otherwise specified. Any change in freight rates between contract date and bill of lading date above and beyond the negotiated price shall be paid by Buyer.
Detention
Goods are sold subject to inspection by USDA, or by any other United States Government Department, Bureau or Agency with jurisdiction over them. If the goods or any part of them are detained by the United States government and not released for entry after reasonable efforts have been made by Seller to remove such detention, it is understood that Seller is not required to make a replacement of the merchandise and that the contract in regard to the detained and unreleased merchandise shall then become void and Seller shall be released of all responsibility and liability except that Seller must either refund the purchase price, if paid, plus freight charges, insurance and other expenses incurred by Seller on Buyer’s behalf and paid by Buyer to Seller, if at all, in connection with the transaction, or at Seller’s discretion provide the same material from another source.
Claims for shortages, defects, nonconforming goods or errors in shipment must be made in writing within 5 days after receipt of shipment, except that notice of claims based on moisture content must be given to Seller within 72 hours after receipt of shipment. Buyer shall within 15 days following the date of completion of delivery, furnish to Seller in support of a claim, a detailed proof of claim in writing, including all material facts upon which claim is made. If Buyer’s claim is based upon the grade or quality of the goods, or any portion thereof, Buyer shall accept delivery of and pay for, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the portion of the goods in respect to which no claim is made, and shall hold intact and properly protect for a period of 30 days, for inspection by Seller or its authorized agent, the portion of goods in respect to which claim is being made hereunder. Any reinspection of the goods shall be conducted and governed by the association which grade stamped the goods. The rules and standards of that association, including any 10- day or other time limitation for the assertion of acknowledgement of claims or for requests for inspection, shall govern and shall be the basis for final settlement. The findings of that association shall be binding upon the parties in the event of litigation. The expenses of the inspection and survey shall be borne by Seller if the item complained of is found to be more than 5% below grade. If 5% or less, the expense shall be borne by Buyer. All claims for shortage or damage related to shipments must be supported by written statement of Buyer or its agent, stating unit count, piece tally, seal number of the railcar if boxcar shipment and car numbers and initials, if any. If the shipment is a rail car and its seals have been broken or changed, there shall be a report of the transportation agent at the destination, or by written statement the transportation agent was requested to make such a report and declined to do so. In cases of a complaint involving measurements and/or tally, the entire shipment shall be kept intact for inspection. Buyer agrees that Buyer’s exclusive remedy shall be to return the goods to Seller and to obtain repayment of the purchase price, or, at Seller’s option, Seller may repair nonconforming goods, deliver replacement goods or refund the purchase price. Buyer agrees that no labor expense or any other consequential damages of any kind shall be recoverable from Seller for mis-delivery, non-delivery, defect or nonconformity of the goods, regardless of whether arising out of a contract, warranty or negligence, strict liability or other tort.
