​
These Standard Sales Terms of Sale for Products (“Sales Terms”) apply to the sale of A.P. Nonweiler Co., Inc. (“Seller”) products (“Products”) to you (“Customer”), which are deemed a part of and incorporated by reference into all other documents exchanged between us, whether electronic or in writing, including, without limitation, all quotations, acknowledgments, packing slips, invoices, and purchase orders. Seller’s offer to sell Products to Customer, and Seller’s acknowledgment of any purchase order or other Customer document (“Order”) is expressly limited to, and expressly conditioned on Customer’s acceptance of these Sales Terms. The applicability of terms contained in Customer’s Order is limited to the identification and the quantity of Products ordered. Seller objects to and rejects all other Customer terms, in any form, that are different from or additional to these Sales Terms.
1. Compliance. Seller will manufacture and sell the Products in compliance with the federal, state, and local laws applicable to each Product. Customer will comply with the federal, state, and local laws applicable to the handling, transportation, storage, use, processing, disposal, distribution, sale, and resale of Products and to any of Customer’s products that contain or are made by using Products.

2. Product Information, Selection, and Use. Seller may provide Product information, including technical information, specifications, recommendations, literature, and other materials (collectively “Product Information”) for Customer’s convenience in Customer’s selection of Products. The accuracy or completeness of Product Information is not guaranteed and is subject to change without notice. No license under any Seller or third-party intellectual property rights is granted or implied with this Product Information. Customer is solely responsible for evaluating and selecting Products and determining whether each Product is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for Customer’s use and method of application. Products are not manufactured to any Customer requirements or specifications unless expressly agreed to in writing by Seller. Products that are sold for Customer’s use or consumption may not be repackaged, resold, or redistributed in any manner without Seller’s prior written consent.
3. Prices and Taxes. Prices will be set forth in the Quotation or Seller’s published price schedules. Prices and these Terms are subject to change without notice. Unless specifically stated, prices do not include sales, use, excise or other similar taxes or duties (“Taxes”). Buyer will pay any and all clearance charges, broker’s fees, Taxes and other amounts payable in connection with Seller’s delivery of Goods and provision of Services. If Seller is required to pay any Taxes on the Goods or Services furnished hereunder, Buyer will promptly reimburse Seller for such Taxes.

Buyer will pay all Invoices within due date of Invoice in the currency indicated on the Invoice in immediately available funds via wire transfer to an account designated by Seller or by check payable to Seller.

Seller may cancel a Customer Order without obligation or liability upon notice to Customer.
