Any order by a person (“Buyer”) for goods (an “Order”), if accepted, is accepted subject to these Midland Industries Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale (“T&Cs”), which are incorporated into any acceptance, acknowledgement, invoice and other document issued by Midland Industries. Co., Inc. (“Seller”) in response to such Order (each a “Response”), and any reference thereto shall include these T&Cs. No waiver, alteration, or modification of these T&Cs shall be valid unless expressly agreed to in writing by Seller. The T&Cs constitute the entire agreement between the parties and any different, additional or conflicting terms or conditions set forth in Buyer’s purchase order or any other document issued by Buyer are expressly objected to by Seller and the terms hereof, including those contained in the applicable Response, shall exclusively govern the purchase and sale of the goods covered by the Response unless there is another manually signed agreement between the parties, which shall control to the extent there is a conflict between the terms of such agreement and these T&Cs.

1. Payment Terms: Payment terms are NET 30 on approved accounts in good standing and shall be paid in United States dollars. Shipment may be held if account is past due. Buyer agrees that any overdue amounts shall be subject to a late payment charge on the overdue balance of 1.5% per month or such lesser amount as is the maximum rate of interest allowed by law. Buyer shall pay any and all reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Seller while collecting any delinquent balance. Debit memos are not accepted unless approved.

2. Price: The Seller list or quoted price is subject to change without notice. The goods are invoiced at prices in effect on date of shipment. Prices do not include taxes, if any, based upon or measured by the sales price, which taxes will be added to the prices where applicable. Any taxes which Seller may be required to pay or collect, upon or with respect to the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use, or transportation of the goods purchased hereunder, shall be for Buyer’s account, and shall be paid promptly by Buyer to Seller upon demand.

3. Delivery Terms: All goods are sold FOB our shipping USA locations. Title and risk of loss passes to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier. Freight is prepaid via the carrier of our choice on orders totaling $1,500 or more to any destination in the USA. Backorders for items from prepaid orders that are marked in our price list as “stock” items will be shipped prepaid along with upcoming prepaid orders when possible. Non-stocked or special-ordered items will be shipped when available. Buyer is responsible for costs associated with shipment upon acceptance if so assigned based on freight classification (i.e., “prepaid” or FOB)

4. Title/Security: Unless a conditional sale is noted in this Agreement, title to the goods covered by this Agreement shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to carrier. Buyer hereby grants Seller and Seller hereby reserves a purchase money security interest in and to the goods sold to Buyer together with all proceeds thereof to secure Buyer’s performance and payment. Buyer agrees upon Seller’s request to do all acts and execute all documents reasonably necessary to assist Seller’s perfection and maintenance of any such security title and right of possession, including, but not limited to, executing and filing documents with the appropriate governmental agency.

5. Orders: (A) Domestic (USA) Sales. Buyer shall submit a purchase order (“Purchase Order”) for the goods which shall, at minimum, include: (a) part number of the goods ordered; (b) quantity; (c) price of the goods; (d) requested delivery date; and (e) shipping instructions and shipping address, including a statement that the goods will be shipped in accordance with these T&Cs. All Purchase Orders are subject to acceptance by Seller. Buyer shall be responsible for all additional costs resulting from errors made in connection with telephone, online, or hand written Purchase Orders accepted by Seller and any errors related to such a Purchase Order must be disputed within 1 hour from Seller’s receipt of the Purchase Order. Confirming Purchase Orders are not accepted by Seller. If such a confirming Purchase Order is sent to Seller, it may be treated as an original open Order and duplicated. Seller will not be responsible for expenses or inconveniences incurred thereby. If Buyer’s Order is in the form of a blanket Purchase Order, Buyer agrees that each release shall be treated as a separate sales transaction hereunder, that all releases shall be non-cancelable and, unless agreed in writing by Seller, all releases under such blanket Purchase Order shall be accepted by Buyer within 12 months of Seller’s Order acknowledgement. If the aggregate purchase price of goods pursuant to a Purchase Order is under $50, or such other amount that is agreed to from time to time by the parties, then the cost of such goods shall be rounded up to that minimum order value.

6. Order Cancellation/Amendment: Orders cannot be canceled or amended except with Seller's consent. Cancellation charges may be applied at Seller's discretion. Seller may, in its sole discretion and without liability, alter the specifications for any goods.

7. Acceptance: Buyer shall conduct any incoming inspection tests on the goods within 5 days of delivery. In the event of any shortage, damage or discrepancy in or to a shipment of goods or pricing discrepancies, Buyer shall promptly give notice, but in no event later than within 15 days of delivery thereof to Seller and shall furnish such written evidence or other documentation as Seller reasonably may deem appropriate. If such evidence indicates, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, that such shortage, damage or discrepancy existed at the time of delivery of the goods to the carrier, Seller shall promptly deliver additional or substitute goods to Buyer; provided, however, that Seller may, in its sole discretion, require Buyer to return all damaged goods prior to delivery of substitute goods. If Buyer shall fail to timely give Seller such written notice, the goods shall be deemed to conform to the warranty and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods and shall pay for the goods in accordance herewith.

8. Termination: Seller shall have the right to cancel for default hereunder all or any part of Buyer’s order. This right of cancellation is in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies which Seller may have in law or equity.

9. Returns: No goods shall be returned to Seller without Seller’s prior written authorization to Buyer to make such returns and must be returned within 30 days of such authorization at Buyer’s cost. If Buyer returns goods in the manner required under the previous sentence, and if the returned goods are (a) in new, unused, unopened and undamaged condition; and (b) not more than 12 months after the original invoice date; the returned goods will, subject to the applicable handling charge, be accepted by Seller for return. Used or discontinued goods or parts or goods specially manufactured will not be accepted for credit unless specifically agreed to by Seller in its sole discretion. Buyer’s sole remedy for returns of goods shall be a credit for the purchase price less any handling charges. Returned goods are subject to a 25% handling charge. Returns found to be free of material and workmanship defects will be held for 20 days and if Buyer does not provide Seller repair or return instructions, the Seller will scrap the goods.

Buyer’s Specifications Buyer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all specifications, drawings, information, advice, recommendations or requests provided to Seller by Buyer or any of its agents are accurate and suitable.

15. Sole Remedy: The sole and exclusive remedy for breach of any non-warranty obligation of Seller and the sole remedy for Seller’s liability of any kind (including liability for negligence) with respect to the goods and services provided to Buyer shall be to use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cure such breach. Buyer must commence any suit for a cause of action arising hereunder within one year from the date in which the facts that gave rise to the cause of action first occurred.

16. Buyer Indemnification Buyer shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend (at Seller’s request) Seller for any and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including any costs of litigation, including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and any other costs and expenses), fines, or losses in connection with any threatened or actual claims, actions, demands, investigations, or suits, including, but not limited to, claims or suits by third parties, arising out of any of the following: (a) Buyer’s negligent or willful acts, or those of its employees and/or agents, (b) such goods being repaired or altered by persons other than Seller (unless expressly authorized in writing by Seller), (c) in the event that Buyer modifies, or combines with any non-Seller goods, any of the goods purchased from Seller, and such modification or combination results in the actual or alleged infringement of any intellectual property rights of any third party, (d) from goods produced by Seller according to Buyer’s specifications, (e) any violations of export control laws by Buyer, or (f) Buyer’s breach of any provision in these T&Cs.

All Confidential Information shall be the exclusive property of Seller, and Seller retains all its right, title and interest. Buyer agrees to use Confidential Information for the exclusive purpose of performance under the Purchase Order and not to disclose or provide any Confidential Information to any third party and to take all necessary measures to prevent any such disclosure by its employees, agents, contractors or consultants. Upon request of Seller or completion of the Order, Buyer shall return all Confidential Information to Seller and provide certification of such return.
