Use
of CAD Models.
The CAD models on the
PriceCloser.com Properties (“CAD Models”) are being made available to help you
decide whether to purchase Products from us. You may download the CAD Models
and share them with others in your organization or with third parties acting on
behalf of or rendering services to you or your organization (including your data
center or cloud service providers), but only for purposes of deciding whether
to purchase Products from us or in order to develop design drawings and
prototypes for use by you or your organization in connection with a decision
regarding whether to purchase Products from us. You shall not use the CAD
Models to engage in 3D printing or other fabrication of the objects depicted in
the CAD Models for any other purpose, and you shall not otherwise redistribute
or make available the CAD Models (or any design drawings or prototypes that
incorporate them) to any third parties, including third parties in the business
of selling products similar to the Products.
The CAD Models do not
contain any technical information other than what is readily observable,
specified by industry standards or provided to us by our suppliers. The
dimensions and other technical specifications of Products may vary from those
shown in the CAD Models, due among other reasons to tolerances associated with
manufacturing processes. Manufacturing tolerance information is considered
proprietary by many of our suppliers and is not always provided to us. Thus
tolerance information may not be reflected in the CAD Models. You acknowledge
and agree as follows: (i) your use of the CAD Models is at your own risk and
you are solely responsible for any use you make or permit others to make of the
CAD Models; (ii) PriceCloser.com makes no representation or warranty (express
or implied) with respect to the CAD Models, including but not limited to the
accuracy or completeness of Product dimensions or any other technical
specifications contained in or accompanying the CAD Models, non-infringement of
third party rights, and quality, suitability, fitness for purpose or title;
(iii) PriceCloser.com may terminate or limit your access to the CAD Models for
any reason at any time; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, you
shall indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and other expenses (including court costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from claims asserted by you or others
as a result of your use of the CAD Models.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF SALE
Prices
and Payment Terms
Published prices
don’t include taxes, duties, brokerage or shipping costs, and they may be
changed without notice. All payments must be in U.S. Dollars. Open accounts may
be available on terms approved by us. Payment terms on open accounts are net 30
days, less two percent for payment within 10 days of shipment or pick-up of the
Products. Visa, MasterCard and American Express will generally be accepted for
orders, but credit card arrangements are subject to change.
Right to Correct,
Reject or Cancel Orders
We reserve the right
to correct typographic errors and reject or cancel orders because applicable
law prevents the sale of the Products in your area or for any other reason.
Other
Charges
In addition to the
published price, we may charge you for shipping, freight, taxes and all other
expenses that we incur in connection with the shipping of your order.
Taxes and
Governmental Charges
You are responsible
for all applicable national, state, provincial and local sales and use taxes,
value added taxes, duties, tariffs and other governmental fees which may be
imposed in connection with your purchase of Products from us. When we collect
taxes and other governmental fees from you, the amount collected will be stated
separately on the invoice. If you are claiming exemption from sales tax, you
are responsible for providing a valid sales tax exemption certificate and you
agree that you will not claim a sales tax exemption for purchases that do not
qualify as exempt. If your claim of exemption for any purchase is deemed
invalid by the taxing jurisdiction, you will upon request reimburse us for any
and all taxes due on that purchase from us. If any Product which you purchase
for resale is subsequently used by you, you will pay the use tax directly to
the taxing authority if required by law.
Delivery,
Title and Risk of Loss
Delivery. Delivery
occurs at PriceCloser.com’s warehouse when the Product is tendered to the
carrier or is picked up by the customer, except for those sales into Canada as
to which we agree to act as importer of record in the documentation you receive
from us relating to your purchase of Products. With respect to sales into
Canada as to which we agree to act as importer of record in the documentation
you receive from us relating to your purchase of Products, the place of
delivery is the destination in Canada to which we have prepaid the shipping
charges.
Title and Risk of
Loss. Title and risk of loss pass to the customer at PriceCloser.com’s
warehouse when the Product is tendered to the carrier or is picked up by the
customer. For sales as to which we have agreed in the documentation you receive
from us relating to your purchase of Products to prepay the shipping charges,
we may elect at our sole option to replace or refund the purchase price of a
Product damaged in transit.
Product
Returns
To return a Product,
send it to the nearest PriceCloser.com location. To exchange a Product, return
it to us and place a new order. No return authorization is required. We do not
take title to returned Products until the Product arrives at our facility. You
will be given credit upon our receipt of the returned Product. We reserve the
right to reject returns of Products used or damaged by the customer or
designated as non-cancellable or non-returnable.
Limited
Product Warranty
Because we don’t make
the Products we sell, our only warranty or other obligation and your only
remedy against us with respect to our Products is for us to replace any Product
which is defective in material or workmanship when sold and which you return to
us. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS WE SELL,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. HOWEVER,
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IN ALL JURISDICTIONS WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED
WARRANTIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Limitation of
Liability and Remedies Concerning Products
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, PRICECLOSER.COM AND ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR
DIRECTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER LOSSES
(OTHER THAN THE COST OF THE PRODUCT OR ITS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR) THAT ARISE
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF YOUR PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT FROM US, EVEN IF WE
HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE
MISUSE, IMPROPER SELECTION, FAULTY REPAIR OR IMPROPER MODIFICATION OF A
PRODUCT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS WE SELL IS
THE RIGHT TO RETURN THE PRODUCTS AND OBTAIN AT OUR OPTION A REFUND OF THE
PURCHASE PRICE OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT THAT GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIM. TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM OR ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST US ARISING OUT OF
ANY PRODUCT WE SELL TO YOU MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE PRODUCT
HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO YOU.
Limits on Use of and
Reliance on Information We Make Available to You
Warnings, Information
and Instructions. We do not manufacture any of the Products we sell. We
rely entirely on our suppliers to provide all necessary warnings, instructions,
chemical content and other information regarding the purchase, installation,
use, handling, storage, resale, transportation and disposal of or relating to
the Products, including but not limited to any warnings required by California
Proposition 65 for Products containing chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. A list of
these chemicals is available online from the California Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html. The dimensions and
other technical specifications of Products may vary from those shown in the CAD
Models due to tolerances associated with manufacturing processes. Because
manufacturing tolerance information is considered proprietary by many
manufacturers and is not provided to us, tolerance information may not be
reflected in the CAD Models. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED) CONCERNING AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE HAVE NO
LIABILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY WARNINGS, INFORMATION
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PRODUCT DIMENSIONS OR ANY OTHER TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THE CAD MODELS) OR INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY OUR
SUPPLIERS.

attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting (directly or indirectly) out of your (i)
breach of any of the Terms and Conditions, (ii) negligence, misuse or other wrongful
conduct related to a Product, or (iii) violation of any applicable law related

Anti-Deficiency Act, the indemnification provisions in the Terms and Conditions
will not apply to any sale made by us to a U.S. federal government agency to
which the Anti-Deficiency Act applies.
Government

agreements must be in writing or signed by the parties to be bound thereby; and
(ii) copies of our e-commerce records are admissible in any legal proceeding
under the business records exception to the hearsay rule, the best evidence
rule or any other rule of evidence, notwithstanding that such records were not
originated or maintained in documentary form. As provided in the Uniform Commercial
Code, we adopt as our signature on e-commerce communications the electronic
identification of PriceCloser.com affixed to or contained in each electronic
record transmitted in connection with a transmission. In the event of a
dispute, the business records maintained by us regarding your e-commerce
purchases with us shall be deemed to be the governing records for purposes of
establishing the terms of those purchases.
Additional Terms
