Standard Terms and Conditions

SUPERSEDING EFFECT
THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE “TERMS”) OF PURCHASE SHALL APPLY WITHOUT EXCEPTION TO THE ACCOMPANYING PURCHASE ACKNOWLEDGMENT BETWEEN MOORE FANS (“MF”) AND THE BUYER IDENTIFIED ON THE ACCOMPANYING PURCHASE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

THE ACCOMPANYING PURCHASE ACKNOWLEDGMENT (THE “ACKNOWLEDGMENT”) AND THESE TERMS (COLLECTIVELY, THIS “AGREEMENT”) COMPRISE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS UNDERSTANDINGS, AGREEMENTS, NEGOTIATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, AND COMMUNICATIONS, BOTH WRITTEN AND ORAL. THESE TERMS PREVAIL OVER ANY OF BUYER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR WHEN BUYER SUBMITS OR HAS SUBMITTED ITS PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER PURCHASE INSTRUMENT OR COMMUNICATION CONTAINING SUCH TERMS. MF EXPRESSLY REJECTS ANY OF SUCH TERMS THAT ARE IN ADDITION TO, INCONSISTENT WITH, OR DIFFERENT FROM THESE TERMS. FULFILLMENT OF BUYER’S ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OF BUYER’S TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND DOES NOT SERVE TO MODIFY OR AMEND THESE TERMS.

PLACEMENT OF THE ORDER SHALL CONSTITUTE BUYER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT.

TERMS OF PAYMENT
Payment in full for any purchase made hereunder is due within 30 days, or as otherwise agreed in writing, after the earliest of either the invoice date or the date on which the factory holding period begins. If payment is not made within the above times, Buyer agrees to pay a late or holding charge as hereafter set forth. For the purpose of avoiding a late or holding charge, the date of payment is the date MF actually receives payment and not the mailing date or the check date.

FACTORY HOLDING PERIOD
Orders may be held at the MF factory after the requested shipping date at the request of the Buyer. They may also be held at the discretion of MF if the Buyer’s account is overdue or if the Buyer’s credit limit, as determined in the sole discretion of MF, has been exceeded or will be exceeded by the shipment being held. The period that orders are so held shall be designated as the “Factory Holding Period”. MF will retain title of the goods during the Factory Holding Period, but will notify the Buyer that the order is being held. The holding period will begin at the requested shipping date and end upon actual shipment of the order. Buyer will pay MF a holding charge of 1% per month (12% per year), or if prohibited by law, then a charge equal to the highest lawful contract interest rate, on all sums remaining unpaid commencing 30 days after the Factory Holding Period begins and running until actual shipment of the order.

LATE AND OTHER CHARGES
Buyer will pay MF a late charge at the rate of 1% per month (12% per year), or if prohibited by law, then at the highest lawful contract rate, on all sums that remain unpaid 30 days after the earliest to occur of either the invoice date or after the end of any Factory Holding Period. Late charges and holding charges will not be applied simultaneously. Buyer also will promptly pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and all filing fees and other costs incurred by MF in enforcing its right to payment under this Agreement.

PRICE OR DISCOUNT CHANGES
The Acknowledgment must be accepted in writing by the Buyer within 30 days of the Acknowledgment date, unless otherwise stated in the Acknowledgment, in order to hold the price and any discount schedule set forth in the Acknowledgement.

CANCELLATION
Orders may be cancelled without charge only if made prior to the start of production, or when special material must be ordered, prior to the ordering of such special material. In the event that later cancellation is necessary, the cancellation charge will be determined by MF on the basis of the value of, and demand for, the parts fabricated or in fabrication and the special materials ordered.

SHIPMENT AND LIABILITY
Every effort will be made by MF to meet scheduled shipping dates; however, MF will be excused and be relieved from all liability whatsoever for delays in shipment or performance that result, in whole or in part, from strikes or other disputes with employees, shortage or delay in receipt of materials, fuel or labor, failure of carriers to provide transportation, government regulations, or any cause beyond the control of MF including but not limited to fire, flood, windstorm, war, riot, and embargoes. If any of the foregoing events occur that delay shipment or performance, the time for completion of the contract by MF shall be extended accordingly, and the Buyer shall have no right to cancel or rescind the contract by reason of any delay excusable under this paragraph. Shipping dates may be changed by the Buyer without penalty prior to the start of production. The deferral of the shipping date after the start of production will result in the order being placed in a Factory Holding Period at the time of the initial shipping date, with resulting holding charges. Unless otherwise requested, shipments will be routed by the best means known to MF. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, orders will be shipped collect. It is suggested, however, the Buyer make arrangements with MF to prepay shipping charges to a field installation or to the Buyer. Such prepaid charges will be billed to the Buyer upon receipt by MF. It is to be understood that shipping weights may vary considerably from those published due largely to the variation in weight of the lumber used for crating. Shipping weights are subject to change without notice. Unless otherwise specified, shipment will be made F.O.B. Marceline, Missouri. Title to the product and risk of loss or damage to the product passes to the Buyer upon delivery of the product by MF to the carrier.
