Your failure to comply with the terms of this paragraph and as otherwise provided in this document shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the goods as conforming to the type and quality specified and bind you, our customer, to pay the contract price for the goods. All claims must be made prior to the installation or other use of the goods. If you have accepted the goods tendered under this document in any manner provided in the Uniform Commercial Code, you, our customer, shall have no right to revoke its acceptance.
PRICES: All prices are quoted F.O.B. EP’s shipping point unless otherwise stated. All prices are subject to adjustment to reflect EP’s prices in effect at the time of shipment, including increases in packaging, storage, shipping charges, or taxes. Cash discounts, if any, are as allowed by EP at the date of shipment and apply only to EP’s selling price f.o.b. the shipping point exclusive of all packing, storage, shipping, insurance, or taxes. You are not entitled to any cash discount if you owe EP any uncontested past due balances.
TERMS OF PAYMENT: Payment for all goods is due and shall be paid according to the terms appearing on the face of the invoice from EP. The invoice amount cannot be paid in any other manner than in full when due. On any amount not paid within one (1) day of the date it is due, liquidated damages will accrue and be payable. Liquidated damages shall be interest on the amount due at the maximum rate allowed by law.
TAXES: The prices quoted do not include sales, use, value-added, excise or other taxes unless otherwise stated.

If you, our customer, claim exemption from any of these taxes, you shall furnish satisfactory proof of such exemption.

Orders ship during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, and cannot be delivered to PO Boxes.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing and signed by EP, freight charges from EP’s shipping point are the responsibility of the customer.
Additional charges may apply for special packaging, if in EP’s discretion, enhanced protection is needed to ensure safe delivery.

TITLE RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE: Title shall pass to you, our customer, upon delivery of the goods to the common carrier. Customer bears the risk of loss or damage to or the destruction of the goods from the time of their delivery by EP to the common carrier. All claims for loss, damage, or destruction attributable to shipping should be made directly to the carrier. EP shall not be responsible for any such loss, damage, or destruction. The common carrier, although selected by EP, shall be deemed your agent.
CLAIMS AND CREDITS: EP is not responsible for shortages or errors unless written claims are made to EP within five (5) days of customer’s receipt of the goods. In any event, claims of shortages or damage should be noted immediately upon receipt of the goods on the bill of lading and/or delivery ticket. If there is a shortage or the goods have been damaged in transit, a notation to that effect must be made by you upon delivery on the carrier’s bill of lading and/or delivery ticket (receipt). Damaged goods should not be unloaded until they have been thoroughly inspected and all damages noted on the delivery ticket and/or bill of lading. EP will not insure the goods unless specifically instructed to do so. All charges relating to insurance of goods will be made to the customer’s account and are due and payable upon receipt of EP’s invoice unless they are billed directly to you by the insurance carrier.
DELAY IN DELIVERY: EP assumes no responsibility for failure to ship on a particular date, and when an order is placed for shipment on a specific date, if, for any reason, you will not accept the ordered goods if shipment is made earlier or later than the date specified, EP must be notified to that effect in writing when the order is placed. All orders are accepted subject to strikes, riots, wars, labor troubles, floods, fires, accidents, delays, contingencies of transportation, governmental acts, orders and regulations, and any other causes beyond the control of EP, and if any such cause prevents or interferes with the delivery of the goods ordered, customer shall accept as full, and complete fulfillment of the order the portion of the goods covered by the order which EP is able under the circumstances to procure and deliver in accordance with the order; and a time for delivery shall be extended for such time as shall be reasonably required.
RETURNS: No goods shall be accepted for return without the prior written authorization of EP. There will be a twenty-five percent (25%) restocking charge on all returned goods (non-processed, original shipped condition) accepted by EP. No returns will be accepted after thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to you, our customer. Goods which have been processed or fabricated may not be returned.
SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE: If you, our customer, fail to pay any amount owing to EP, or, if in EP’s judgment there is reasonable doubt concerning your financial responsibility, EP may suspend performance or terminate this contract without liability and without prejudice to other remedies, as to further delivery and work, and no forbearance or course of dealing affects this right of EP. Notwithstanding any previous shipment on credit EP may, at any time, demand payment on delivery, require payment in advance or upon tender of shipping documents.
RIGHT OF RESALE: If you, our customer, breach or repudiate a provision of this contract or fail to comply with this contract, EP may resell the goods which have not already been delivered to you, together with any goods reclaimed by EP or to which EP may agree to accept return. The sale may be public or private, wholesale or retail, and EP may hold more than one (1) sale. In addition, you, our customer, shall pay EP the amount by which the price established in this contract exceeds the amount received from the public or private sale, together with all incidental damages occasioned by your default. You, our customer, and EP agree that five (5) days written notice of resale at public sale or private sale which EP conducts as a result of your default is reasonable notice to you of the sale.
VERBAL ORDERS: EP telephone desks are maintained and staffed for immediate service. If shipment of your order is made before written confirmation from you is received, such orders must be considered as accurate as recorded by EP’s inside sales personnel. To avoid duplication of verbal orders please mark confirming orders prominently and clearly “confirmation”. Otherwise, duplications will result, and the charges involved will be at your expense. Acceptance of all verbal orders is expressly limited to these terms and conditions as stated herein. A minimum order amount is Fifty Dollars ($50.00) on standard products, it may be higher on certain items or special products.
CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS: Should you, our customer, find it necessary to change the specifications of your order while work is in progress, EP will make every effort to accommodate you. However, it will be necessary for EP to charge you, our customer, and you agree to pay for any services, labor, or material which are discarded or unusable because of such changes requested by you. Should you, our customer, for any reason, desire to cancel an order, you agree to reimburse EP for any and, all costs and expenses which EP may have incurred as a result of its performance under the order prior to your notification of cancellation. You also agree to pay for any material which has been cut or fabricated to your order and which is unusable. EP agrees to credit you with the value of the scrap value of the material which is discarded.
INDEMNIFICATION: Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold EP, its officers, and agents harmless from and against all loss, liability, cost, damage, or expense whatsoever incident to any claim, action, or proceeding against EP (i) arising out of (a) the negligent design of goods furnished per your, our customer’s, specifications, (b) installation, (c) maintenance, (d) use, (e) fabrication, and (f) operation of the goods by you, our customer, or on your behalf; or (ii) based on the allegation that any of the goods or any part thereof sold hereunder pursuant to your, or your customer’s design or specification infringe any patents applied for or issued as of the date of this order.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES: In the event it becomes necessary for EP to retain legal counsel, or to utilize its in-house counsel to implement collection procedures, or to undertake litigation, or to otherwise protect EP’s rights under this Agreement, or to defend itself against claims which are your responsibility, you, our customer, shall pay EP a reasonable sum for the attorneys’ fees and related costs, whether or not such litigation proceeds to final judgment.
WAIVER: No waiver of any breach or default of yours, under these terms and conditions, operates as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different character, except as otherwise provided in these terms and conditions.
SEVERABILITY: If any provision of these terms and conditions as applied to any party or to any circumstance shall be found by a court to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, it shall not affect any other provision of these items and conditions, the application of any such provision in any other circumstance, or the validity of enforceability of those terms and conditions.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT: The terms and conditions set forth here constitute the entire agreement between EP and you, our customer, the parties relating to the sale of the goods, and this Agreement prevails over any and all terms contained in your, our customers’, purchase order or acknowledgments unless explicitly stated to the contrary in a writing executed by both you and EP. This agreement cannot be modified except by a writing signed by both of us.
LAW: Any sale of goods or services by EP shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to Michigan’s conflict of law provisions.
