- The following terms and conditions of sale apply to any sale of goods by the Seller. The Buyer shall be deemed to have full knowledge of these terms and conditions and such terms and conditions shall be binding if the goods being supplied are delivered to and accepted by the Buyer.
- In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions of sale and the terms and conditions contained in the buyer’s order or in any other form issued or offer made by the Buyer, whether or not any such form or offer has been acknowledged or accepted by the Seller, the Seller’s terms and conditions shall prevail. No waiver, alteration or modification of these terms and conditions shall be binding upon Seller unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Seller.
- The price to be paid for the goods will be the price agreed to by the Seller and the Buyer plus, if the goods are delivered to the Buyer, freight charges to the place of delivery within the United States or Canada, such price to be reflected on the invoice. The Seller reserves the right to provide goods from any of its mills, without any alteration to this price. Absent an express written agreement providing otherwise with respect to a particular purchase, Buyer shall not export the goods to any country other than the United States or Canada.
- The Buyer shall take delivery of and pay for the goods in accordance with this Agreement, it being understood that invoices are due and payable at the expiration of the discount period.

- All invoices are due and payable without alteration.

If the cause of delay continues after the last day of shipment, the Seller may, upon notice to the Buyer, cancel the contract.
- If in the Seller’s judgment the Buyer’s credit shall become impaired at any time or any payments are overdue, the Seller shall have the right in addition to any and all other remedies to decline to make deliveries to the Buyer except for cash until such times as the credit has been re-established to the Seller’s satisfaction.
- The Buyer agrees to and accepts all usual customary clauses in the bills of lading and such additional clauses and stipulations as may be lawfully imposed by the carriers as a condition of their accepting the materials for transportation.

- Claims for shortages, defects or error in shipment shall not be considered unless made within five days of receipt of shipment, or as dictated by the appropriate Grading Authority. Claims for shortages or for goods damaged in transit must be made by the Buyer against the carrier upon receipt.
