Buyer expressly agrees that the following terms and conditions shall govern the purchase by Buyer and the sale of any goods or services by Ballistechs OR any of it’s divisions, affiliates or subsidiaries.

Acceptance & Cancellation of Orders

Each order for goods is subject to acceptance in writing by a duly authorized officer of Ballistechs. Any written acknowledgment of receipt of an order shipment in and of itself constitutes such acceptance. Buyer may cancel orders accepted by Ballistechs only upon written consent of Ballistechs. In the event of cancellation or other withdrawal of an order, without limiting any other remedy which Ballistechs may have as a result of such cancellation or other withdrawal, reasonable cancellation or restocking charges and all expenses incurred and commitments made by Ballistechs relating to the order shall be paid by Buyer to Ballistechs, LLC. Special orders for items normally not stocked are non-cancelable and non-refundable.

Delivery & Shipment

All prices quoted and goods shipped are F.O.B. – Carrier, Ballistechs’s facility. Title and risk of loss of all goods shall pass upon Ballistechs’s reasonable commercial delivery to carrier for shipment to Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed by Ballistechs in writing, Buyer shall pay all freight, handling, and delivery and insurance charges for shipment of goods. Choice of carrier and shipping method and route shall be at the election of Ballistechs unless specifically designated by the Buyer. Despite specific selection of preferred carrier(s) by Buyer, Ballistechs, LLC may elect to choose a different carrier for reasons of reliability or access to specific geographic zones or for any other reasonable business grounds. Ballistechs, LLC shall not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Ballistechs, which causes shall include without limitation, acts of God, acts or omissions of Buyer or civil or military authorities, fire, strikes, epidemics, quarantine restriction, floods, earthquakes, riot, war, delays in transportation or inability to obtain necessary labor materials or supplies. In the event of any delay, the contractual date of delivery, if any, shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a consequence of such delay without penalty to the Ballistechs. Ballistechs shall be entitled to refuse or delay shipments for failure by Buyer to pay promptly any payments due Ballistechs, whether on this or any other contract between Ballistechs, LLC and Buyer. Ballistechs shall have the right to deliver all goods covered hereby at one time or in portions from time to time within the time for delivery provided in such order, subject to the prior terms of this paragraph.

Terms & Payment

If requested by Ballistechs, and as applicable, Buyer will deliver to WLM within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter a detailed balance sheet and income statement for the Buyer’s prior fiscal year and quarter that will have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

c) All checks and payments accepted by Ballistechs are subject to collection and Buyer agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. Ballistechs may apply any checks or payments received from Buyer against any obligation of Buyer to Ballistechs under this or any other agreement, notwithstanding any statement appearing on or referring to such check. Acceptance of partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of Ballistechs’s right to payment in full of all amounts owed from Buyer to Ballistechs.

d) Buyer hereby grants Ballistechs a security interest in any goods shipped under this agreement, including all accessions to and replacements of such goods and the process thereof to secure the payment of the purchase price for such goods and all other amounts owing under this agreement. Buyer agrees that this agreement may be used by Ballistechs for facilitation of filing a financing statement in any location deemed necessary or advisable to perfect Ballistechs’s security interest in the goods and their proceeds without the necessity to obtain an additional signature on the actual financing statement.
Nonetheless Buyer agrees to cooperate fully with Ballistechs in executing any additional documents, instruments, financing statements or amendments thereof as Ballistechs may deem necessary or advisable to maintain and continue the security interest created by this agreement.

Inspection & Acceptance of Goods

Buyer shall be responsible for conducting any final acceptance tests on goods if necessary, which tests shall be completed promptly and in no event later than immediately after delivery. The goods shall be deemed accepted by Buyer unless Buyer notifies Ballistechs in writing of Buyer’s rejection of the goods and the reason for such rejection within 10 days after delivery of the goods to the Buyer. Ballistechs, LLC shall elect to credit the account of Buyer or replace, with an additional shipping charge only, to Buyer all goods which at the time of delivery are not in accordance with their manufacturer’s specifications, but only if Buyer provides Ballistechs, LLC timely rejection of the goods and returns such goods to Ballistechs’s facility within 10 days from date of delivery in original intact packaging and in good condition deemed acceptable to Ballistechs in it’s sole discretion, without their serial numbers, affixed labels, or any part thereof altered, replaced or removed, and accompanied by a specification in writing of the defects involved. Items returned after 10 days from the date of delivery cannot be returned or refunded. Buyer shall notify Ballistechs, LLC in each instance when Buyer intends to return goods that Buyer believes are not in accordance with their manufacturer’s specifications and Ballistechs shall be entitled to examine such goods at Seller’s or Buyer’s facilities, at Seller’s option, prior to return. Final inspection and determination whether goods are in accordance with their manufacturer’s specifications shall be made at Ballistechs, LLC’s facility or may be based upon the manufacturer’s actual test report. Other than the foregoing inspection and acceptance provisions, all sales are final and Buyer shall not have the right to cancel goods ordered prior to delivery of such goods without the prior consent of Ballistechs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Ballistechs issue or cause to be issued a Return Manufacturer’s Authorization (“RMA”) beyond 90 days from the date of delivery to Buyer of any goods and any RMA’s approved by Ballistechs shall be subject to the procedures for returns and replacements of goods under the ‘Warranties’ section of this website.

Shipping Damage Or Loss

In the event of shipping damage or loss, Buyer must contact Ballistechs and the shipping company immediately. If the Buyer has insured the merchandise or if the goods were shipping F.O.B. (meaning the Buyer is being billed for the shipping charges directly by the shipping company), then the insurance claim will be the sole responsibility of the Buyer. If Ballistechs has shipped the merchandise C.I.F., then the Buyer must register a claim with Ballistechs on the insurance claim form currently found on its Website. Ballistechs will credit the Buyer for the loss if and only if the insurance company has approved a claim for the loss with Ballistechs. Ballistechs will not be responsible for issuing the Buyer a credit memo if the insurance company has denied the claim. Ballistechs, LLC will not be responsible for any consequential or other damages for the loss or damage of merchandise during shipping. The Buyer will still be expected to pay for the shipment on the appropriate due date.

If Buyer is owed any monies by Ballistechs because of goods purchased from Buyer, overpayment to Ballistechs or because Ballistechs has credited Buyer for returned goods or discounted a purchase to Buyer, Ballistechs at it’s sole discretion may apply the owed amount to any other amounts owed by Buyer to Ballistechs. Any request for cash refunds of credits to Buyer must be sent to Ballistechs in writing. Any request for refunds of overpayments not done in writing and held by Ballistechs for more than two years will be deemed forfeited. Ballistechs may withhold payment of any amounts owed to Buyer if amounts owed by buyer to Ballistechs are past due.
