4. Price. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company and Purchaser, the prices for the Goods shall be those as outlined in the Company's pricing policies that are in effect at the time of tender of delivery of such Goods to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser desires to change its order in advance of shipment by Company (and if and when expressly permitted to do so in writing by Company), the Company may also elect to adjust such prices accordingly and at its sole discretion. Purchaser acknowledges that such prices do not include applicable fees, taxes, excises, duties, transportation, or other costs or expenses that the Company may be required to collect and/or remit. Therefore, it shall remain the exclusive liability of the Purchaser. Also, any and all permits, licenses, authorizations, and/or other Purchaser requirements to accept and take delivery of the Goods shall be obtained in advance by the Purchaser at its sole cost and expense. IF THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED AS A QUOTATION, THE PRICES AS QUOTED (IF ANY) SHALL BECOME FINAL ONLY IF FULLY ACCEPTED (ABSENT ANY CONTRARY TERMS OR CONDITIONS) BY THE PURCHASER WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH QUOTATION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT.
5. Payment, Collection, Security Interest. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company and Purchaser, payment terms for the Goods are 1% 10, net 30 days. These payment terms are subject to change in the exercise of the Company's sole discretion and without notice to the Purchaser. If Purchaser does not remit a timely payment in accordance with such payment terms, Company reserves the right to charge Purchaser an additional 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, on any unpaid balance until such balance is paid in full. Also, in the event that Purchaser fails to make timely payment according to such payment terms, Company is hereby authorized by Purchaser to use any alternative collection measures permitted by law to obtain payment from Purchaser of any past due payment amount. Purchaser further agrees that any and all costs, expenses, and/or fees (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) that are incurred by Company in an attempt to collect such past due payment amounts shall be added to such past due payment amount and shall be then due and owing by Purchaser to Company. Company hereby reserves, and Purchaser hereby expressly grants to Company, a security interest in the Goods to secure Purchaser's payment of the purchase price and any other costs, expenses, and/or fees owed Purchaser to Company. Purchaser agrees that Company may (but is not obligated to) take appropriate actions to evidence and perfect such interest, and Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not oppose such actions by Company.

Any delivery date is approximate and is intended as an estimate only. The actual delivery date may vary. Title to the Goods shall immediately pass to Purchaser upon the Company's tender delivery of the Goods. If the Goods are held by Company subject to delivery instructions from Purchaser, Company may elect to invoice the Goods to the Purchaser, and therefore, Purchaser agrees to make payment in accordance with this Document. The Goods so invoiced and held at any location by Company shall remain at Purchaser's sole risk and expense. The company may charge the Purchaser for (but is not obligated to carry) insurance, storage, shelving, and all other costs or expenses associated therewith. Purchaser shall accept and pay for partial delivery of the Goods, or any portion thereof, at Company's prices and in accordance with this Document. When Purchaser has declared or manifested an intention not to accept delivery of the Goods in accordance with this Document, no tender on the part of Company shall be necessary; however, Company may, at its sole option, give notice to Purchaser that Company is ready and willing to deliver and such notice shall constitute a valid tender of delivery.
7. Force Majeure. The Company shall not be liable for any failure to perform by reason of strikes, riots, insurrections, fires, floods, unavoidable accidents, wars, terrorism, delay in transportation, acts of God, or any other causes beyond its reasonable control. In connection with the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that delivery of the Goods is contingent upon Company's ability to obtain supplies, raw materials, production capacity, and other goods and/or services through its regular and usual sources and, thus, if for any reason beyond Company's reasonable control, Company is not able to meet anticipated delivery date(s) or any other performance, Purchaser acknowledges that Company shall not be liable therefor and Company may postpone the delivery date(s) under this Document for such period of time which is reasonable in the judgment of Company under the circumstances.
8. Disclaimer of All Warranties and/or Guarantees. By placing an order or accepting the delivery, Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Goods are sold on an "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" basis only.

This document is not intended to be all-inclusive as to the manner and conditions of use, handling, storage, disposal, application, combination, reactive properties, and/or any other factors that may involve other or additional legal, physical, environmental, chemical, safety, performance or other conditions, and Company expressly disavows and assumes no liability whatsoever for the use of or reliance upon this information. By ordering or taking delivery of the Product, Purchaser understands and agrees that all safe handling and appropriate use of the Product remains the sole and exclusive responsibility of Purchaser. NO WAIVER, ALTERATION, ADDITION, OR MODIFICATION OF THE FOREGOING SHALL BE VALID OR ENFORCEABLE UNLESS MADE IN A WRITING, OTHER THAN THIS DOCUMENT, THAT IS FULLY SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF THE COMPANY AND DATED AFTER THE DATE OF THIS DOCUMENT.
9. Inspections and Limited Remedy. The purchaser will promptly inspect each delivery of the Goods for any damage or defect. PURCHASER WILL NOTIFY THE COMPANY OF ALL CLAIMED DAMAGE OR DEFECT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY OF THE GOODS. If Purchaser fails to inspect or notify Company as provided herein promptly, Purchaser shall be deemed to have fully accepted the Goods and to have waived any damage claim, defect, or refund. If Purchaser promptly inspects the Goods upon delivery and notifies Company as to Purchaser's claim within the period as provided herein that the Goods are subject to damage or defect, Company shall review Purchaser's claim and, if Company determines such claim to be valid, Purchaser and Company shall mutually agree as to the method and timing of curing such damage or defect. Any limited remedy of Purchaser against Company as provided herein shall be barred unless adequate notice is given in accordance with this Section 9. PURCHASER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST THE COMPANY, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF ANY ASSOCIATED CLAIM OR THEORY OF RECOVERY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE GOODS OR CREDIT FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE GOODS AT THE EXCLUSIVE OPTION OF COMPANY, AS LONG AS PURCHASER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION 9.
