If Buyer at any time wishes to no longer conduct transactions electronically with Seller, Buyer must notify Seller of this intent in writing.
- Quotations and Proposals. Unless otherwise specified, Seller’s quotations or proposals are for information only, and are not intended as an offer. Seller reserves the right to revise all quotations or proposals including prices, delivery dates, terms, quantities or specifications, without notice to Buyer, prior to Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s order.

If satisfactory credit has not been established by Buyer, Seller shall have the right to require full payment in advance, including any and all preparatory costs involved. If the financial condition or credit of Buyer at any time shall, in the judgment of Seller, not warrant shipment of goods ordered, Seller may at its option require full payment prior to shipment or refuse to ship and terminate any other outstanding orders without liability to Buyer.

In the event Buyer defaults on its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall be liable for Seller’s costs of collections, including reasonable attorneys fees. Seller may, at its option in order to mitigate its damages, cancel and/or sell any unshipped products should Buyer fail to fulfill the complete terms of payment.

Seller shall retain title and possession of all hobs, dies or other preparatory components and will use its best efforts to hold and maintain such items in good condition without further charge for the reasonable life expectancy of such items.
