THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE APPLY TO BOTH NEW AND USED MACHINERY.
OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE. Unless otherwise noted, this quotation by Hariton Machinery Company, Inc. (“HMC”) constitutes an offer to sell you (“Buyer”) certain machinery and/or equipment (collectively, “Machinery”) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Buyer may accept this offer only upon such terms and conditions. HMC hereby objects to any terms contained in the Buyer’s acceptance which are in addition to or different from the terms set forth herein. If the Buyer submits to HMC an acceptance or confirmation that contains terms in addition to or different from the terms in this offer, such acceptance or confirmation shall be operative as an acceptance of this offer, but such additional or different terms shall not become part of this contract. The offer provided for herein is subject to prior sale or, in the case of Machinery to be purchased by HMC from a third party to fill the Buyer’s order, the continued availability of such Machinery. The Buyer agrees that its acceptance of the Machinery tendered shall constitute an acknowledgment by the Buyer that such Machinery satisfies any and all obligations of HMC hereunder. The Buyer may not revoke its acceptance for any reason whatsoever.

Terms of payment are one-third (1/3) non-refundable deposit of the total sale to be paid with the order and the balance due in United States dollars prior to delivery, unless otherwise specified on the invoice form of HMC. The Buyer shall pay HMC a service charge on all amounts over thirty (30) days past due computed on an interest rate equal to eighteen (18%) percent per annum. The Buyer shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses incurred by HMC arising out of or in connection with the efforts by HMC to collect any unpaid accounts hereunder including, without limitation, attorney or collection agency fees and expenses. No forbearance, indulgence, or delay by HMC in taking any action hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any rights of HMC under this contract. Unless othefwise stated all Machinery is quoted F.O.B. trucks at shipping point.
TITLE. Title to the Machinery shall not pass to the Buyer until payment of the purchase price is made in full. Prior to said payment in full, HMC retains title to the Machinery.
TAXES. Prices do not include any federal, state or local taxes which are in addition to the purchase price and must be paid by the Buyer. Any and all foreign duties and taxes are the responsibility of the Buyer. Unless the Buyer furnishes HMC with a tax exemption certificate, any sales, use, excise, or similar tax, where applicable, shall also be the responsibility of the Buyer and may, at the election of HMC, be added to the quoted purchase price and invoice by HMC to the Buyer. The failure of HMC to invoice such taxes does not excuse the Buyer from responsibility for paying the same.

Shipping dates are approximate and not guaranteed. HMC shall not be liable for failure to deliver or perform, occasioned by causes beyond its control.
