Our Terms and Conditions of Sale

Our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. TAXES: Prices do not include any applicable taxes. Pollock Industries, Inc. (PII) will add taxes to the sales price where (PII) is required by law to collect them, and will be paid by Buyer unless Buyer provides (PII) with a tax-exemption certificate.

2. PRICES AND RELEASES: Prices apply only if the quantity ordered is released within twelve (12) months and shipments scheduled no more than eighteen (18) months from the date (PII) received Buyer's order. Otherwise, (PII)’s standard prices in effect on such release date for the quantity actually shipped shall apply.

In the event of extraordinary increases in the market prices of fuels, metals, raw materials, equipment and other production costs, (PII) shall have the right and Buyer shall have the obligation to renegotiate in good faith the price of the goods hereunder not yet shipped, and if agreement is not reached, (PII) shall have the right to cancel this contract without liability.

3. TITLE AND DELIVERY: Domestic shipments of goods within the U.S. shall be delivered F.O.B. shipping point. Title and liability for loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon (PII)’s tender of delivery of the goods to a carrier for shipment to Buyer and any subsequent loss or damage shall not relieve Buyer from any obligation.

Shipments of goods to destinations outside of the U.S. shall be delivered "Ex Works" (EXW) at a named point of origin i.e. ex warehouse (White River, VT). In this case, (PII) agrees to place the goods at the disposal of the buyer at the specified place on the date or within the period fixed. Title and liability for loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon (PII)’s tender of delivery of the goods to a carrier for shipment to Buyer and any subsequent loss or damage shall not relieve Buyer from any obligation.

If (PII) agrees to pre-pay charges for any shipment, Buyer shall reimburse (PII) for costs of insurance and transportation on such shipments and shall be responsible for all import duties, taxes and any other expenses incurred or licenses or clearances required at port of entry and destination.

(PII) may deliver the goods in installments. Delivery dates are estimates. (PII) shall not be liable for any loss or expense (consequential or otherwise) incurred by Buyer if (PII) fails to meet the estimated delivery dates because of unavoidable production or other delays.

4. TERMS AND METHOD OF PAYMENT: Where (PII) has extended credit to Buyer the terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. The amount of credit or terms of payment may be changed or credit withdrawn by (PII) at any time for any reason. If the goods are delivered in installments, Buyer shall pay for each installment in accordance with the terms of payment hereof. When Buyer fails to make each payment when it is due, (PII) reserves the right to withdraw credit and thereby suspend or cancel performance under any or all purchase orders or agreements in which (PII) has extended credit to Buyer. (PII)'s suspension of performance may result in a rescheduling delay contingent on current product availability.

If in (PII)'s judgment, Buyer's financial condition does not justify the terms of payment specified herein, (PII) may cancel this contract unless Buyer shall immediately pay for all goods which have been delivered and pay in advance for all goods to be delivered.

5. CONTINGENCIES: (PII) is not liable, either wholly or in part, for nonperformance or a delay in performance due to force majeure or contingencies or causes beyond the reasonable control of (PII), including but not limited to, shortage of labor, fuel, raw material or machinery or technical or yield failure where (PII) has exercised ordinary care in the prevention thereof.
