Hillary Machinery Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale

These terms and conditions govern the sale of CNC machine tool Products and/or Services (“Product and/or Service”) provided by Hillary Machinery (HMI) and its affiliates (“Seller”) as well as by third party vendors, manufacturers and/or service providers of Seller as listed and described in the Order (“Orders, Sales Order, Sales Order Acknowledgement, Quote, Proposal, Invoice”) including but not limited to any accessories, services, transportation, and/or rigging if so included in the Order of machine tool Products. These terms and conditions (“Agreement”) take precedence over Buyer’s (“Buyer, Customer or Purchaser”) supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Neither Seller’s commencement of performance or delivery shall be deemed or construed as acceptance of Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions. HMI’s failure to object to conflicting or additional terms will not change or add to the terms of this agreement. Buyer’s acceptance of the Products and/or Services from Seller shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.

1.Orders: All Orders placed by Buyer are subject to acceptance by Seller. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled without HMI’s written consent. All Orders must identify the Products, unit quantities, part numbers, estimated delivery, and applicable prices of the Products being purchased. Unless otherwise noted in the Order, all items will be shipped when manufacturing is complete and/or domestically available to ship. Seller may at its sole discretion re-allocate Product among its customers to meet delivery expectations, assuming those Products are functionally identical.

2.Prices: The final prices of the Products are those prices specified in the Invoice. Pricing for undelivered Products may be increased (or decreased) in the event of an increase (or decrease) in Seller’s cost, change in market conditions, prior sale, or any other causes beyond the Seller’s reasonable control and upon written notification to Buyer. Unless otherwise noted in Order, prices shall automatically expire in thirty (30) days from the date of same.

3.Taxes: Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all prices quoted are exclusive of transportation and insurance costs, duties, and all taxes including federal, state and local sales, excise and value added, goods and services taxes, and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on Seller’s invoice.

4.Payment: Payment may be made by check, money order, or bank wire (all fees are borne by the Buyer). Unless Order states otherwise, where Seller has extended credit to Buyer, terms of payment require 20% (of Order total) in advance from Buyer at time of purchase with remaining balance of Order paid by Buyer no later than thirty (30) days from date of the Order’s shipment (or completion date of Service performed), without offset or deduction. On any past due invoice, Seller may impose interest at the rate of one and one-half percent [1.5%] per month. If Buyer fails to make payment when it is due, Seller reserves the right to interrupt service, change or withdraw credit and thereby suspend or cancel performance under any or all purchase orders or agreements in which Seller has extended credit to Buyer and recover in its entirety, all Products described in Order delivered. In the event of default by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to costs, fees, and expenses, including but not limited to recovery of attorney fees, court costs and fees, and collections costs.

5.Shipment, Delivery, Acceptance and Title: Shipment occurs when the Product is loaded and released to the carrier at shipping point. The Product’s arrival (or any portion thereof) on-board the carrier at the Buyer’s ‘Ship To’ address described in the Order, constitutes Delivery. Any utilization of the Product by the Buyer including, but not limited to powering on, setting up, installing tooling, and/or programming, constitutes Acceptance. Title and risk of loss pass to the Buyer upon loading and release of the Product to the carrier. Deliveries will be made “FOB USA Shipping Point” or Free On-Board from point of USA based shipment. Seller’s delivery dates are estimates only and Seller is not liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Seller, nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of the Seller. Physical delivery of any line item, component, or portion of the order constitutes delivery of same and is therefore subject to payment terms described in paragraph 4. A delayed delivery of any part of an Order does not entitle Buyer to withhold payment of entire order, nor does it entitle buyer to cancel the Order or any portion of the Order. Buyer may elect to withhold payment on any undelivered line item, component, or portion of the Order with Seller’s written consent.

6.Returns, Refunds and Exchanges:

Returns:

Only products originally shipped from HMI or from an authorized supplier (drop-ship) will be considered for return to HMI. By a Customer requesting return of products to HMI, the Customer certifies that the products were purchased from HMI and there has been no substitution of the product from another supplier, distributor or other source of the product. Any return must be in the original packaging and in unused condition except if approved for failure analysis/warranty evaluation by HMI via a Return Material Authorization (RMA).

Return Freight / Restocking Fee:

HMI reserves the right to charge cancellation and restocking fees, at a minimum rate of 15% to be deducted from the Customer refund. HMI does not refund the original shipping and rigging if part of the original Order. Customer is responsible for all rigging and return freight charges. HMI does not accept COD shipments. Any deposit paid to HMI by Buyer may be deemed non-refundable to Buyer.

Refunds:

Upon receipt and inspection of returned item(s), HMI will advise of the refund status. In the case of factory warranty or failure analysis, HMI will issue any applicable credit pending manufacturer confirmation of failure. HMI initiates credits via the original method of payment within 48 hours of approval.

7.Limited Warranty: Final commissioning and warranty activation of the Product requires that the Machine Installation Record (MIR) be submitted and accepted by the Seller and/or Seller’s affiliates to obtain a Permanent Operation Code (POC), if the Product is so equipped. The Seller and/or Seller’s affiliates reserve the right to withhold POC if Payment obligations are not met, which may render Product temporarily inoperable.

Materials or parts alleged to be defective shall be returned to Seller, at Seller’s request, transportation charges prepaid.
