- Acceptance of Terms — By purchasing and accepting delivery of products supplied by Cellaria Biosciences (“Products”) you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”). Terms or conditions contained in any order form or other document submitted by you which are inconsistent with, or in addition to, these Terms and Conditions are rejected, objected to and shall be deemed void and of no force or effect. Changes — Once submitted, any change(s) to your order(s) may be made only with advance written approval of Cellaria Biosciences and such changes may require different terms, including a change in the price and/or time of delivery. Once submitted, you may not cancel any order unless cancellation is expressly approved by Cellaria Biosciences in writing, which approval may be contingent on your payment of Cellaria Biosciences’ costs or other charges, including, but not limited to, storage and shipment costs, costs of producing non-standard materials, costs of purchasing non-returnable materials, cancellation costs imposed on Cellaria Biosciences by its suppliers, and any other costs resulting from cancellation. A verified bill of costs issued by an officer or other authorized representative of Cellaria Biosciences shall be conclusive as to the amount of such costs. Cellaria Biosciences reserves the right to cancel any order, in whole or in part, upon your breach of these terms and conditions or your bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, receivership proceedings, or upon the occurrence of any event leading Cellaria Biosciences to reasonably question your willingness or ability to perform.
- Payment and Interest — Unless otherwise stated, payment in full shall be made within 30 days of invoice. Cellaria Biosciences reserves the right to require an advanced deposit of up to 100% of the purchase price at the time of order or any time prior to delivery as a condition of performance. If for any reason Cellaria Biosciences, in its sole and unfettered discretion, deems the ultimate collectability of the purchase price to be in doubt, Cellaria Biosciences may, without notice to you, delay or postpone the delivery of the Products and may, at its option, change the terms of payment to payment in full or in part in advance, with respect to the entire undelivered balance of Products. In the event of default by you in the payment of the purchase price or otherwise, Cellaria Biosciences, at its option, without prejudice to any other of Cellaria Biosciences’ lawful remedies, may defer delivery, cancel your order and any other order of you, or sell any undelivered products on hand for the account of you and apply such proceeds as a credit, without set-off or deduction of any kind, against the agreed upon purchase price, and you agree to pay the balance then due to Cellaria Biosciences on demand. You agree to pay all costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney and accounting fees and other expenses of collection resulting from any default by you in any of the terms hereof. Invoices remaining unpaid after their due date will be subject to an interest charge of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate allowed by law). You must pay all costs of collection on unpaid amounts, including (without limitation) attorneys’ fees and related costs.
- Taxes and other charges — Cellaria Biosciences shall not be responsible for the payment of any use tax, sales tax, excise tax, duty, custom, inspection or testing fee, or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any governmental authority, on or measured by the transaction between, with the sole exception of any sales taxes invoiced and collected from you by Cellaria Biosciences. All other such charges (if any) must be paid by you separately and in addition to the prices quoted or invoiced. In the event Cellaria Biosciences is required to pay any such tax, fee or charge, you shall reimburse Cellaria Biosciences therefore; or, in lieu of such payment, you shall provide Cellaria Biosciences at the time the order is submitted an exemption certificate or other document acceptable to the authority imposing the tax, fee orcharge.
- Pricing — Any quotation provided by Cellaria Biosciences is firm only if you place a corresponding order within the time specified on the quote or, if no time period is mentioned, within 30 days. You must request shipment of the entire quantity of Products ordered within 6 months from the date of order, otherwise, Cellaria Biosciences’ standard prices at time of shipment may apply, at Cellaria Biosciences’ option, to futuredeliveries.
- Price Changes — Shipment will be made promptly even if prices have been nominally increased. Price changes will be automatically applied to your invoice. Notwithstanding any price quotation or prices listed by Cellaria Biosciences, if at any time prior to delivery Cellaria Biosciences’ costs of materials have increased by 10% or more, then Cellaria Biosciences may cancel any accepted but undelivered orders or condition the continuance of any order on your agreement to a corresponding increase in price.
