1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Customer shall place orders for products (the “Products”) to be purchased hereunder by submitting a written purchase order to RAMPF (“Order”). All Orders must be in writing and are accepted subject to these Terms and Conditions. Customer acknowledges and agrees that these Terms and Conditions, together with the Order, comprise the entire agreement between Customer and RAMPF with respect to the Order. In the event any terms and/or conditions of the Order conflict with these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail. Additionally, in the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any terms and conditions provided by Customer, or any other third party, all parties acknowledge and agree that these Terms and Conditions shall prevail and control the parties’ transaction.
2. DEPOSIT/PAYMENT. RAMPF shall be paid in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Order. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by RAMPF, a minimum 1/3 deposit of the contract price is required to be paid at the time of the Order. The remaining balance shall be paid to RAMPF at least one (1) day prior to delivery, as such term is defined below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Orders must be paid in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. A service charge of 5% per month (18% per annum) shall apply to all amounts due and not received within thirty (30) calendar days from the invoice date. There shall be no discount for early payment. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, all unit prices, contract price, fees and charges are nonrefundable. RAMPF may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges in its sole discretion, by giving Customer advance notice. Unless otherwise agreed to by RAMPF and Customer, RAMPF retains a security interest lien in all Products until payment in full is received. A returned check fee may be charged to the extent allowable by state law. Customer shall pay reasonable attorney's fees and any other costs incurred by RAMPF in the collection of monies due to RAMPF.
3. DELIVERY. All Orders shall be delivered Ex Works (EXW) 90 Western Maryland Parkway, Hagerstown, Maryland USA (INCOTERMS 2020), or Ex Works (EXW) at any other RAMPF manufacturing location, as the case may be. As a courtesy to Customer, RAMPF may coordinate shipping and/or carriage as set forth herein, provided, however, (i) the Products shall nevertheless be at the disposal of Customer upon delivery, as such term is defined below; (ii) Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that any part(ies) with whom such shipping and/or carriage is contracted shall constitute solely Customer’s carrier(s); (iii) Customer shall be solely responsible for all shipping and handling costs, any duty or custom fees or taxes, insurance, including marine or other forms of insurance, storage fees, stowage within any boxes or containers, export clearance, or any other costs, expenses, or liabilities; and (iv) any such coordination by RAMPF with Customer’s carrier(s) shall in no way impact the passage of risk of loss from RAMPF to Customer upon delivery. The delivery deadlines and dates shall be approximate based upon current and expected factory loads, and shall not be considered to be legally binding, unless the Order expressly includes a binding delivery date. The term “delivery”, and any derivation(s) thereof, shall, for all purposes of these Terms and Conditions, be deemed to mean the date when the Products are delivered Ex Works (EXW) 90 Western Maryland Parkway, Hagerstown, Maryland USA, or Ex Works (EXW) at any other RAMPF manufacturing location, as the case may be. It is agreed that partial deliveries are permitted. Any liability on the part of RAMPF for late delivery of the Order shall be excluded to the extent permitted by law. Further, RAMPF assumes no responsibility for loss, damage or consequential damage due to delay. Any claims for incorrect delivery shall be void if made more than fourteen (14) days after receipt by Customer.
4. CANCELLATION/CHANGE ORDERS. All Products are custom made specifically for Customer. Customer may not cancel, modify or terminate any Order for any reason at any time. RAMPF reserves the right to cancel any Order for any reason at any time in its sole discretion. Any agreement for changes to an Order prior to beginning production must be in writing and agreed to by both Customer and RAMPF in order to be binding. The contract price shall be adjusted to reflect the change order and the new contract price shall be indicated in writing prior to the change order being processed.
5. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP; RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE. Title to the Products shall be transferred to the Customer upon RAMPF’s receipt of the contract price paid in full. The risk of loss or damage to the Products shall be transferred to the Customer upon delivery as defined in Section 3 above.
