"Buyer" means the person who accepts a quotation of the Seller for the sale of the Goods or Services or whose order for the Goods or Services is accepted by the Seller.

"Seller" means National Imports LLC.

2.      ACCEPTANCE
These Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with information contained in Seller's written product order acknowledgment and/or invoice (and any additions or revisions mutually agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer), shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Seller and Buyer with respect to the purchase and sale of Seller's products, superseding all prior oral or written understandings relating thereto. If Buyer's order contains provisions inconsistent with the provisions hereof, these terms and conditions shall prevail. Buyer's acceptance of delivery of or payment for any products provided hereunder shall constitute Buyer's acceptance of all terms and conditions herein.

3.      TERMS OF PAYMENT
Unless otherwise stated on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, Buyer shall pay all amounts due for products purchased hereunder in cash within thirty (30) days from the date of Seller's invoice, provided that in the event Seller reasonably deems Buyer's financial status unsatisfactory or Buyer is in default of any obligation of Buyer to Seller, Seller (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have) may require payment in full in cash of all amounts payable to Seller by Buyer under Seller's invoice or otherwise prior to shipment of any products thereunder. Buyer shall pay an additional interest and service charge in the amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the unpaid balance per month (or portion thereof), or if less, at the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law, accruing from the applicable due date. Buyer shall not withhold or set off from any amounts due to Seller, any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Buyer for any reason whatsoever.

4.      PRICES
Unless otherwise expressly indicated in writing by Seller, prices for all products are as noted on Seller's price list as in effect on date of shipment. All prices are based on quantity indicated and, unless otherwise indicated on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, are F.O.B. the location of Seller's facility from which products are shipped. Unless otherwise indicated on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, Buyer shall pay, and be exclusively liable for, all costs of shipping, delivery, insurance and the like after the Seller has effected delivery of the products to the carrier.

5.      TAXES
Prices do not include any tax or other governmental charge or assessment on the sale, shipment, production or use of any products sold to Buyers hereunder. Such taxes and charges, when applicable, may appear as separate additional charges on Seller's invoice. Buyer shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay to Seller upon demand, any such tax, charge or assessment, unless Buyer has furnished to Seller an appropriate valid certificate of exemption issued by or acceptable to the tax authority in question.  International duty, taxes and brokerage charges are the responsibility of Buyer. Seller shall invoice to Buyer all duty, taxes and brokerage charges unpaid by Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay all of these charges and authorizes Seller to charge Buyer's credit card if that was the original method of payment.

6.      QUANTITIES
Unless otherwise indicated on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, in accordance with industry practice, Seller reserves the right to ship and invoice plus or minus ten percent (10%) of the total quantity of each product ordered by Buyer hereunder.

7.      DELIVERY
Seller shall make every reasonable effort to effect shipment on or before the scheduled shipping date(s) reflected on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, but such schedule may vary due to, among other things, conditions beyond Seller's reasonable control. If no shipping date is specified, shipment will be made on date(s) selected by Seller. In no event shall Seller be liable for any damages or penalties for delay in delivery or for failure to give notice of delay. Delivery may be made in advance of any scheduled delivery date upon reasonable prior notice to Buyer.

8.      PACKING AND SHIPMENT
Unless preferred packing method is noted on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, all items will be packed for shipment in accordance with Seller's standard practices. Unless otherwise specified on Seller's acknowledgment and/or invoice, Seller will ship by the most appropriate method, but by doing so does not assume any liability in connection with the shipment. Any and all claims by Buyer for damage or loss of products in transit shall be made by Buyer against the carrier. If requested by Buyer, transportation charges and insurance will be prepaid and will be added to invoice as a separate item.

9.      TITLE
Title to all products sold by Seller to Buyer shall pass from Seller to Buyer when such products are delivered by Seller to the carrier for shipment to Buyer; however, if Buyer should fail to pay when due any amount Buyer owes to Seller on account of such products, Seller shall have, in addition to any other rights of Seller, the right (without liability of Seller) to repossess such products or to require Buyer to effect (at Buyer's expense) return delivery of such products to Seller. In addition, until Buyer has paid to Seller the entire amount due to Seller for such products, Seller shall retain a security interest in such products in the amount of the full purchase price plus all other amounts due hereunder and all costs of collection incurred by Seller (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees), and Seller shall retain all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect at the time of delivery of such products. A copy of Seller's invoice may be filed with the appropriate authorities at any time as a financing statement or chattel mortgage in order to perfect Seller's security interest. Upon the request of Seller, Buyer will execute any financing statements and other documents or instruments necessary or appropriate in order for Seller to perfect its security interest.

10.  RISK OF LOSS
Delivery of all products sold by Seller to Buyer hereunder is F.O.B. Seller's facility from which such products are shipped. All risk of loss of or damage to such products shall be assumed by Buyer upon Seller's delivery of such products to the carrier for shipment to Buyer. Any and all claims by Buyer for damage, loss or delays in transit shall be made by Buyer against the carrier (with notice thereof to Seller), and Seller shall have no responsibility or obligations with respect to any such damage, loss or delay.

11.  INSPECTION BY BUYER
Buyer shall carefully inspect all deliveries of products as they are received by Buyer and report to Seller promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of shipment) any alleged error, shortage, defect or nonconformity of such products. Any failure by Buyer to so inspect and report shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any claim or right of Buyer against Seller arising with respect to any such error, shortage, defect, or nonconformity which was reasonably discoverable by such an inspection.  Pull force values are presented by National Imports LLC as approximations and are not presented as definitive values.  Pull force can vary significantly as a result of surface conditions, direction of pull, and type and thickness of steel. Pull force values cannot be used as a basis for a claim against nonconformity to specifications.
