By submitting a Purchase Order for the purchase of products, Customer
acknowledges and agrees to the following terms and conditions:
Orders
Customer will initiate offers to purchase products by the
submission of a Purchase Order to Steven Engineering. Purchase Orders
will identify the products, unit quantities, part numbers, descriptions,
applicable prices and requested delivery dates. All Purchase Orders
are subject to Steven Engineering's acceptance, in its sole discretion,
according to product availability and these governing Terms and
Conditions.
Prices
All prices are set forth in US dollars. All quoted prices
are subject to change without notice. Prices charged are those in
effect at the time of shipment and Customer agrees to pay such prices,
subject to any Customer specific pricing and transaction related
charges. Prices may increase before shipment in the event Steven
Engineering's costs increase. If delivery is delayed at Buyer's
request beyond the originally scheduled delivery date, prices are
subject to revision.
Products invoiced and held by Steven Engineering at Customer's
request will be held at Customer's sole risk and expense above and
beyond the purchase price, including but not limited to storage and
handling charges.
Taxes
Any applicable sales, excise, use or other taxes, duties or fees
which Steven Engineering may be required to pay or collect, under
any existing or future law, upon or with respect to the sale, purchase,
delivery, storage, processing, use, consumption or transportation
of any products covered hereby, shall be for the account of the
Customer, and Customer agrees to pay such amount to Steven Engineering
upon request in addition to the quoted purchase price.
Terms of Payment
Subject to the approval of Customer's credit by Steven Engineering,
standard term of payment is NET thirty (30) days from the date of
invoice, and payment shall be made as follows:
a. For Customers having an established place of business in the
United States (excluding protected territories and possessions)
and requesting delivery of product in the United States (excluding
protected territories and possessions), Customers may pay by personal/business
check, money order, major credit card (MasterCard, Visa, and American
Express), Cash on Delivery (C.O.D) or, upon advance qualification,
an open account with Steven Engineering.
b. For Customers requesting delivery of product to locations outside
of the United States, Customers must pay by wire transfer of funds only. A $200 minimum order is required for international orders.
All international orders will be charged a $30 wire transfer fee. If the minimum requirement is not met, a minimum order fee will be charged the order difference. Normal terms will apply to US companies exporting to foreign countries.
c. For Customers paying by credit card and ordering NCNR (non cancellable,
nonreturnable) or non stock items, the credit card will be charged
in advance.
d. For
Customers paying by personal/business check, a $25 fee will be charged for returned checks.
Customer will pay the total amount of each invoice from Steven Engineering
pursuant to the terms of such invoice without offset or deduction.
Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment
at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate
as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make
payment when due, Steven Engineering may pursue any legal or equitable
remedies, in which event Steven Engineering will be entitled to
reimbursement for costs of collection and reasonable attorneys'
fees.
All Customer Purchase Orders are subject to ongoing credit approval
by Steven Engineering. Customer will submit such financial information
as Steven Engineering may reasonably require for determination of
credit terms. Steven Engineering may, at any time or times, suspend
performance of any order or require payment in cash, security or
other adequate assurance satisfactory to Steven Engineering when,
in Steven Engineering's opinion, the financial condition of Customer
or other grounds for insecurity warrant such action. Steven Engineering
may, in its sole discretion, change theses terms of payment without
notice, at any time or times, for all future transactions and require
advance payment, security, payment by official bank draft or other
approved payment means, as Steven Engineering deems appropriate
in its sole discretion.
If Customer is in default of any payment, Steven Engineering may,
in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel delivery of product under
any and all Purchase Orders or cancel any and all Purchase Orders,
in whole or in part, and Customer shall be liable to pay Steven
Engineering for products already shipped.
As may be authorized hereunder, payments by check are subject to
collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of
payment.
Any payment received from Customer may be applied by Steven Engineering
against any obligation owing by Customer to Steven Engineering under
this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing
on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer's liability
for any additional amounts owing by Customer to Steven Engineering.
The acceptance by Steven Engineering of such check will not constitute
a waiver or settlement of Steven Engineering's right to pursue the
collection of any remaining unpaid balance.
Delivery & Title
All orders are shipped FOB point of shipment from Steven
Engineering's facility. Products will be shipped via UPS (or other
like carrier when necessary), unless requested otherwise by Customer.
For priority or overnight deliveries, please so indicate when ordering.
Steven Engineering will make commercially reasonable efforts to
deliver products in accordance with Customer's requested delivery
date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Steven
Engineering are estimates only - not a warranty or guarantee --
and that Steven Engineering will not be liable for failure to deliver
product on such dates. Customer requests to reschedule delivery
dates are subject to acceptance by Steven Engineering in its sole
discretion.
Subject to Steven Engineering's right of stoppage in transit, delivery
to a carrier will constitute delivery to Customer, and all risk
of loss will thereupon pass to Customer; however, title in and to
all products shall remain in Steven Engineering until payment is
made in full by Customer and received by Steven Engineering.
Any claims for shortages and/or damage to delivered products must
be made to the carrier in accordance with the carrier's claims policy,
but not more than ten (10) days after delivery of the product to

upon receipt. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the products
unless a valid written notice of rejection, due to defect in the
goods or non-conformance to the order, is received by Steven Engineering
within 30 days of Customer's receipt of goods. No such claims made
after such period need be considered by Steven Engineering. Products
purchased on the basis of weight are subject to customary quantity
variations recognized by trade practice.
Return Policy
Customer must obtain a material authorization number ("RMA
No.") from Steven Engineering before returning any product
eligible for return. No return of eligible products will be accepted

must notify a Customer Service Representative of the nature of the
defect prior to returning the product. All items not eligible for
return will be returned to customer, transportation costs collect.
