Terms And Conditions Of Sale

1. General. These Terms and Conditions of Sale are made a part of any order from or sale to a customer of Irby (any such customer as well as any applicant for credit with Irby may be referred to as a "Customer") and any application for credit with Irby, and any purchase order, agreement, proposal, confirmation, estimate or quote (each, an "Agreement"), if any, submitted by either party. These terms and conditions, together with the Agreement, if any, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior communications and agreements regarding any order or sale. Acceptance by Irby of any order or Customer's acceptance of any Agreement is expressly limited to and conditioned upon Customer's acceptance of these terms and conditions (Customer’s payment for, or acceptance of, any performance by Irby being acceptance). Except as described below, the Agreement (incorporating these terms and conditions) may not be changed or superseded by any different or additional terms and conditions proposed by Customer (or in any Customer purchase order, acknowledgement, form or other document) to which additional or different terms and conditions Irby hereby expressly objects and rejects. Additional or different terms shall only apply if an officer of Irby (Vice President or higher only) shall approve such additional or different terms in writing by affixing such officer’s signature approving same to any document containing such additional or different terms, and only to the extent so indicated thereon. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Goods" means all of the goods referenced or sold under an order.

2. Type of Business. Customer certifies that it qualifies as the business type stated on page 2 of the Irby Credit Application and shall notify Irby of any changes which might affect its liability for sales and/or use tax on any future purchase.

3. Payment. Terms of all sales are cash or check (payable in U.S. dollars). No payment may be made by credit, debit or charge card. If an invoice or obligation of Customer is not paid by the net due date indicated on Irby’s invoice to Customer, Irby shall levy a "service charge" to cover the additional cost of handling the account in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or part thereof until paid. Customer acknowledges and agrees that this charge is a "service charge" levied by Irby to reimburse Irby for the additional cost of carrying its delinquent account and that such charge is not an interest charge. Irby reserves the right at any time to revoke or decrease any credit extended to the Customer, require payment security satisfactory to Irby or cancel any order if Customer’s account is delinquent, Customer fails to pay any obligation when due or, in Irby’s opinion, there is an adverse change in Customer’s financial condition. Delays in delivery or nonconformities in any installments delivered shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining installments.

4. Collection Costs. If it becomes necessary for Irby to retain legal or collection agency assistance to collect an overdue account, Customer shall pay all such costs of same, including any necessary and related incidental expenses (collectively, "Collection Costs"). Customer unconditionally waives its right to assert any statute, regulation or judicial decision that places limits on the amount of necessary Collection Costs that Irby can recover from the Customer to collect the account.

5. Prices. Unless otherwise specified in writing by Irby, all proposals expire thirty (30) days from the date thereof. Prices do not include any federal, state or local property, license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, or other like taxes. Such taxes, if any, shall be added to the purchase price and shall be paid by Customer unless Customer provides Irby with an exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. Any such taxes which Irby may be required to pay or collect under any existing or future law shall be for the account of Customer, who shall promptly pay the amount thereof to Irby upon demand.

6. Jurisdiction. If either party brings any lawsuit against the other party regarding any sale, delinquent account or any other matter arising from or relating to their relationship, such party may file its lawsuit or other action in a state or federal court located in Jackson, Mississippi. The parties submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and consent to venue in those courts.

7. Security Interest. To secure the payment and performance in full of all of Customer’s debts and obligations under and in connection with any Agreement and any order, Customer hereby grants to Irby a security interest in any unpaid Goods purchased from Irby, and all proceeds and products thereof. Customer hereby irrevocably authorizes Irby at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office any initial financing statements and amendments thereto, and to take such other actions as Irby deems necessary to protect Irby’s rights in such Goods.

8. All Sales Final. All purchases are final and no Goods purchased from Irby shall be returned for credit without prior written approval and acceptance of Irby. All items returned are subject to restocking charges.

9. Shipment. All shipments are F.O.B. point of origin and Customer is responsible for all claims with carriers and shipping insurance costs. Customer shall bear risk of loss upon tender of Goods by Irby to Customer, Customer’s representative or a common carrier. Claims for Goods damaged or lost in transit should be made by Customer to the common carrier as Irby’s responsibility ceases upon tender of goods to Customer, Customer’s representative or a common carrier.

10. No Waiver. Irby’s failure to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Irby’s rights or remedies hereunder, nor of its right to insist upon strict performance of the same or any other term herein in the future. No waiver of any term or condition herein shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Irby.

11. Force Majeure. Irby’s failure to perform any term or condition of an order or Agreement as a result of conditions beyond its control such as, but not limited to, war, strikes, fires, floods, acts of God, governmental restrictions, power failures, or damage or destruction of any facilities or infrastructure, shall not be deemed a breach of an order or Agreement.
