Terms and Conditions
of Sale

Scope

These Bartlein Terms and Conditions of Sale (these “Terms”) shall apply to and govern all Bartlein Barrels, Inc. (“Bartlein”) product(s) and/or service(s) (the “Products”) described in any quotation, offer, invoice or sale to any individual or entity (“Buyer”) and, to the extent permitted herein, to any individual or entity to whom Buyer may resell the Products (“End User”), except to the extent that these Terms conflict with a written contract, sales agreement or distributor agreement executed by Bartlein that expressly supersedes these Terms. Use of the Products and Bartlein quotations, offers, invoices and sales are expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s and/or End User’s acceptance of these Terms, which acceptance may be express or implied. For purposes hereof, Buyer and/or End User shall be deemed to accept these Terms upon receipt of these Terms and/or the receipt of any Products from Bartlein. Any attempt by Buyer or End User to vary these Terms in any acceptance, acknowledgment, confirmation, purchase order or other communication or document, which may contain additional, different or inconsistent terms, is hereby expressly objected to and rejected by Bartlein. Bartlein’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Buyer or End User shall not be deemed to waive any provisions herein, or to accept any different terms and conditions communicated by Buyer or End User. These Terms apply in lieu of any course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the industry.

Prices and Taxes

All price proposals by Bartlein for Products, including those listed on Bartlein’s website, are subject to change, without notice, unless and until Buyer’s order is confirmed by Bartlein in writing. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes, including, but not limited to, revenue or excise taxes, value added taxes, import duties (including brokerage fees) or other taxes or handling fees applicable to the manufacture or sale of any Products. All applicable taxes shall be the responsibility of and paid by Buyer unless Buyer provides a proper tax exemption certificate. All fees associated with the export of the Products to Buyer or, to the extent permitted herein, to an End user, including, without limitation, all fees incurred by Bartlein for export licenses and handling and shipping costs shall be the responsibility of Buyer. All such fees and costs shall be invoiced to Buyer and shall be reimbursed by Buyer prior to the shipment of any Products, in accordance with Section 5, below. Bartlein will not be responsible for the payment of any penalties or special charges relating to Bartlein’s failure to comply with Buyer’s special requirements for order processing, handling, packaging, shipping or invoice.

Time of Delivery

Buyer acknowledges that any delivery date specified by Bartlein is an estimated and projected delivery date and that time of delivery by Bartlein is not of the essence.

Payment Terms

All accounts are due and payable by Buyer net thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, unless Bartlein, in its sole discretion, requires from Buyer full or partial payment(s) in advance before proceeding with the order. Any taxes, fees or costs incurred by Bartlein in connection with the manufacture, sale, shipping or handling of any Products at any time after the original date of invoice will be separately invoiced to Buyer and shall be due and payable by Buyer in accordance with this Section. If amounts are not paid when due, Buyer agrees to pay interest on any unpaid balance at a rate of one and one half percent (1.5 %) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Title to the Products shall remain in Bartlein until all accounts due and payable by Buyer are paid in full. Buyer agrees to pay Bartlein’s reasonable costs to collect delinquent accounts, including, but not limited to, attorney fees and costs of legal action.

Order Cancellation, Acceptance and Returns

All orders are final and non-cancelable by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bartlein may, in its sole discretion, permit Buyer to modify or cancel an order in whole or in part. Any permitted modification or cancellation shall only be effective upon Buyer’s receipt of Bartlein’s written confirmation of such modification or cancellation. Bartlein shall have the right to modify or cancel any order in whole or in part, upon notice to Buyer, in the event that Buyer becomes insolvent, adjudicated bankrupt, petitions for or consents to any relief under any bankruptcy reorganization statute, or otherwise in Bartlein’s judgment becomes unable to meet its financial obligations in the normal course of business. Buyer shall be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by Bartlein in connection with a modified or cancelled order prior to any accepted modification or cancellation. Bartlein shall invoice any such costs or expenses to Buyer, plus, at Bartlein’s discretion, a reasonable profit, which shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 4, above. Products shall be deemed accepted after five (5) business days following delivery of the Products to Buyer, unless Buyer delivers written notice of rejections to Bartlein within such five-day period. Acceptance of the Products shall constitute an unqualified waiver by Buyer of any rights to reject the Products and such acceptance may not be revoked by Buyer. Buyer may reject the Products only when a reasonable inspection shows that the Products fail to conform substantially to the specifications for the Products, as set forth in the applicable order or quotation. Buyer’s remedies for any nonconformity detected after acceptance are limited to those expressly provided in the Limited Warranty set forth in Section 7, below.

Limited Warranty

For a period of one (1) year following the receipt of the Products by Buyer or End User, whichever occurs first, Bartlein warrants that the Products manufactured by Bartlein hereunder shall be free from defects in workmanship and shall conform to Bartlein’s published specifications or other specifications accepted in writing by Bartlein. This warranty shall be null and void and without force or effect hereunder as to any defect in the Products which arises from normal wear and tear, any neglect or other improper use, repair, negligence, excessive use, modification or integration of the Products with or into another third-party product, as determined in Bartlein’s sole discretion. Bartlein’s sole obligation for Products failing to comply with this warranty shall be, at its option, to repair, refinish, replace or issue credit for the nonconforming Products where (a) Bartlein has received timely written notice of any nonconformity; (b) after Bartlein’s written authorization, Buyer or End User has returned the nonconforming Products to Bartlein; and (c) Bartlein has determined that the Products are nonconforming and that such nonconformity is not the result of any action described in the foregoing sentence. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND MADE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS AND WARRANTIES AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS. BARTLEIN DOES NOT ASSUME OR AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PRODUCTS.

Limited Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL BARTLEIN BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SALE OF ANY BARTLEIN PRODUCTS, OR PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DELAY, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, EVEN IF BARTLEIN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL BARTLEIN BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR INJURIES SUSTAINED IN THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS. BUYER’S AND END USER’S AGGREGATE RECOVERY FROM BARTLEIN FOR ANY CLAIM OTHER THAN THOSE EXCLUDED HEREIN SHALL NOT EXCEED BUYER’S PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE PRODUCTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE. BARTLEIN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS BASED ON BARTLEIN’S COMPLIANCE WITH BUYER’S DESIGNS, SPECIFICATIONS OR INSTRUCTIONS, OR MODIFICATIONS OF ANY PRODUCTS BY PARTIES OTHER THAN BARTLEIN, OR USE IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS. IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE FOUND BY AN ARBITRATION PANEL OR COURT TO BE INVALID OR INAPPLICABLE UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, BUYER AND END USER AGREE THAT BARTLEIN’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES PROVIDED BY ANY SUCH APPLICABLE LAW.
