Standard Terms & Conditions of Sale
General Terms
Unless otherwise agreed to by Grand Teton Energy Solutions, Inc. (“GRAND TETON” or “Supplier”) in writing, the following terms and conditions apply to all orders and shipments of any batteries, cells, components, systems, goods or other products (the “Products”) sold by GRAND TETON to any party (a “Purchaser”).
Note: Prices and terms are subject to change with written notice.
Quotations & Order Confirmation
Quotations made by GRAND TETON will not be binding until GRAND TETON has received acceptance from the Purchaser and issued an order confirmation. Supplier reserves the right to make minor modifications to ordered products.
The order confirmation and these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale constitute the agreement concerning the sale of goods between the parties, unless another written agreement has been executed by the parties and accepted by the Supplier.
Pricing
The purchase price is the amount listed in a GRAND TETON approved invoice, pro-forma invoice or order confirmation which supersedes all prior quotations. If the order confirmation does not contain a purchase price, GRAND TETON’s standard price in force at the time of the delivery of the goods shall apply to the sale of goods.
GRAND TETON is, however, entitled to adjust the purchase price if GRAND TETON’s total costs for the manufacture of the goods have been increased by circumstances beyond GRAND TETON’s control, such as increases in prices on raw material, exchange rate fluctuations, electricity, taxes etc.
Prices are exclusive of all taxes, duties or other such imposts. All taxes (including, but not limited to, income, withholding, sales, use, registration, ad valorem, excise, employment and documentary taxes), duties, excise or other charges imposed by governmental or quasi-governmental bodies, other than GRAND TETON’s United States income taxes thereon, assessable on a product sold or furnished hereunder are borne by Purchaser after delivery. All taxes outside the United States are the responsibility of the Purchaser.
Payment
The purchase price payment for any Products shall be made at the time of order or within 30 days of invoicing if Purchaser has received prior credit approval. In addition to any other right or remedy it may have, GRAND TETON shall be entitled to interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 1 1/2% per month or the maximum allowed by law on all overdue payments plus all costs and expenses of collection. All goods remain the property (even though the risk of loss may have passed to Purchaser) of GRAND TETON until payment in full has been made by Purchaser.
Shipping
Standard shipping terms are: Ex Works (Incoterms EXW) GRAND TETON’s facilities. Purchaser assumes the risk of loss from GRAND TETON’s facilities. Purchaser is responsible for all costs of shipping, insurance, taxes, duties and other charges or imposts related to the delivery of the product. Delivery dates are best estimates only, are not guaranteed and do not form a term of this contract unless delivery dates are specified and agreed to by GRAND TETON in writing. Delivery delay or default in any installment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining deliveries.
IN NO EVENT SHALL GRAND TETON BE LIABLE FOR INCREASED MANUFACTURING COST, LOSS IN PROFITS OR GOOD WILL OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES RELATED TO DELAYED SHIPMENTS.
Force Majeure
Orders are accepted on the condition that the following circumstances shall be considered beyond the control of GRAND TETON, and GRAND TETON will not be responsible for order cancellations or delays if they impede the performance of the contract or make performance unreasonably onerous. Those events include, without limitation: Industrial disputes, fires, war, weather conditions, general mobilization or unforeseen military mobilization to a similar extent, requisition, seizure, currency restrictions, insurrection and civil commotion, shortage of transport, general shortage of materials, government action or inaction, restrictions in the use of power and defects or delays in deliveries by subcontractors caused by any such circumstances referred to in this clause and any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of GRAND TETON.
Inspection
Purchaser shall inspect each shipment of product supplied. Claims for order deficiencies are waived unless presented to GRAND TETON in writing within ten (10) days of delivery of each shipment.
Product Returns
Products will not be accepted for return unless GRAND TETON and Purchaser have agreed to such return in writing (subject to GRAND TETON’s limited warranty terms and conditions) and Purchaser has received a Returned Materials Authorization (“RMA”) number.
