Terms & Conditions
Effective: 3/08/2021
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY
1. Acceptance - This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that apply to your ("you" or "Customer") purchase from Ibis Scientific, LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "Seller") on orders for materials and services. By accepting delivery of the products described on the invoice, customer agrees to be bound by and accepts these terms and conditions. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY UNLESS THE CUSTOMER HAS SIGNED A SEPARATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH IBIS SCIENTIFIC, LLC, IN WHICH CASE THE SEPARATE AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN. These terms and conditions are subject to change without prior written notice at any time, at Ibis Scientific's sole discretion.
These terms and conditions may NOT be altered, supplemented, or amended by the use of any other documents, including, but not limited to, any terms or conditions proposed by you or provided with your order. Any attempt to alter, supplement, or amend this document, or to enter an order for products or services that are subject to additional or altered terms and conditions, are hereby deemed to be material alterations and notice of objection to them is hereby given.
2. Acceptance of Orders - Orders are not binding upon Seller until accepted by Seller. As used in the terms and conditions, "acceptance" by Seller shall mean the actual shipment to Buyer of the order. No action by us prior to shipment will constitute acceptance. Seller reserves the right at any time after receipt of Buyer's order to accept or decline Buyer's order for any reason. Seller reserves the right at any time after receipt of Buyer's order, without prior notice to Buyer, to supply less than the quantity Buyer ordered of any item. Unless otherwise authorized by a separate agreement, Seller does not accept orders from dealers, exporters, wholesalers, or other customers who intend to resell the products offered by Seller.
3. Changes - Buyer may not cancel this order unless such cancellation is agreed to in writing by Seller. In such event, Seller will advise Buyer of the total charge for such cancellation, and Buyer agrees to pay such charges, including, but not limited to, storage and shipment costs, costs of producing nonstandard materials, costs of purchasing nonreturnable materials, cancellation costs imposed on Seller by its suppliers, and any other cost resulting from cancellation of this order by Buyer that is permitted by Seller.
4. Risk of Loss - When an order is placed, it will be shipped to an address designated by the Buyer as long as that shipping address is compliant with any shipping restrictions contained in these Terms. All risk of loss and title for all items purchased from Seller pass to Buyer upon delivery of the items to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments. Seller shall not be liable for any delays in delivery beyond the reasonable control of Seller including, but not limited to, delays caused by unavailability or shortages of product components from Seller's suppliers, natural disasters, acts of war, acts or omissions of Buyer, fire, strike, riot, governmental interference, unavailability or shortage of materials, labor, telecommunications, fuel, or power through normal commercial channels at customary and reasonable rates, failure or destruction of plant or equipment arising from any cause whatsoever, transportation failures, or computer-related transmission failures.
5. Claims - Immediately upon Buyer’s receipt of any goods shipped hereunder, Buyer shall inspect the same and shall notify Seller in writing of any claims for shortages, defects, or damages and shall hold the goods for Seller’s written instructions concerning disposition. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within ten (10) days after the goods have been received by Buyer, such goods shall conclusively be deemed to conform to the terms and conditions hereof and to have been irrevocably accepted by the Buyer.
6. Payment - Payment will be due net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Where other payment terms are specified on the Order Acknowledgement or Invoice, payment shall be made in accordance with those terms and conditions. If Buyer's credit has not been established with Seller, terms may be payment in advance. Items are shipped by a fast/standard method unless otherwise specified, with shipping and handling charges and insurance prepaid added as a separate charge on your invoice. A 1.5% per month service charge is added to delinquent accounts. In the event that it becomes necessary for Seller to incur collection costs or institute a suit to collect any amount due and payable, Buyer agrees to pay such additional collection costs, charges, and expenses, including attorney’s fees if the account is placed in the hands of an attorney or an agency for collection.
7. Pricing - Prices shown are in U.S. or CAD Dollars. Taxes, shipping, and handling charges are additional. Please call for current prices if you require this information prior to placing your order. Seller guarantees its written U.S. domestic quotes for 90 days. When placing an order, Buyer should please reference its quote number. If Buyer places an order by phone, Seller will confirm its current price at that time. Seller will attempt to provide accurate pricing and information. Seller does not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing, or other information is error-free. In the event of an error regarding pricing, Seller reserves the right to correct such error and revise Buyer's order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Buyer's sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel its order and obtain a refund.
8. WARRANTIES - SELLER WARRANTS SELLER’S BRANDED PRODUCTS, EXCEPT THOSE SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED, TO BE FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP FOR NINETY (90) DAY FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT. THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE. DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, SELLER WILL, AT ITS OPTION, EITHER REPAIR OR REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, OR RETURN TO PURCHASER THE PRICE OF THE ITEM. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO ANY PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF ACCIDENT, MISUSE, ABUSE, OR SERVICE OR MODIFICATION BY ANYONE.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, NO OTHER WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (WHICH ARE EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER), AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN. IN THE EVENT THE PRODUCT IS NOT FREE FROM DEFECT AS WARRANTED ABOVE, THE BUYER'S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE AS PROVIDED ABOVE. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS WARRANTY IS PROHIBITED BY ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR MUNICIPAL LAW THAT CANNOT BE PREEMPTED. FOR PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY, BUT NOT MANUFACTURED BY SELLER, THE WARRANTY IS LIMITED BY THE TERMS OF THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL SELLER, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES, AND EACH OF THE FOREGOINGS' DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, COUNSEL, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL THAT RESULTS FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR PRODUCTS OBTAINED FROM SELLER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF SELLER HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITY. THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF SELLER TO BUYER FOR ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT BUYER PAID FOR THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT GIVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY. BUYER MAY BRING NO CLAIM AGAINST SELLER MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ACTION AROSE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE LIABILITY OF SELLER IN SUCH JURISDICTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMIT BY THE LAW THEREUNDER.
