GENERAL TERMS: Sales by Timber Products Co. Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries and divisions; Timber Products Company, Timber Products Co., TP Sales Co., Timber Products Michigan LP, and TP Mississippi (collectively “Timber Products” or “Seller”), are governed by the terms and conditions set forth in this Account Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth herein, and the terms and conditions set forth on the face of Timber Products’ invoice shall constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto and may not be added to, modified or altered except by written instrument signed by Timber Products referring specifically to the terms to be added, modified or altered to the exclusion of any other terms. Purchaser or Buyer, from time to time, may buy wood products, other goods and services (“Goods”) from Timber Products and request Timber Products to ship Goods to Purchaser prior to Timber Products receiving payment for the Goods. In all such instances Timber Products shall deliver to Purchaser an invoice, which may consist of a computerized data transfer, for the relevant sale of Goods and said invoice shall set forth the description of the Goods and the specific terms for payment. In the event there is a conflict between terms and conditions of a Timber Products’ invoice with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the invoice shall control.
PAYMENT TERMS: Terms of payment shall be as stated on Timber Products’ documentation acknowledging Purchaser’s order and the invoice issued to Purchaser, and shall be binding on all parties. A monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1½%) on the unpaid balance may be made on all past-due accounts. Should this rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, that maximum lawful rate shall apply. Purchaser also agrees to pay Timber Products’ reasonable attorney fees and other costs incurred in the collection of any amount due on Purchaser’s account and in the event of any suit or action arising out of any transaction between Purchaser and Timber Products, including any proceeding involving insolvency, such reasonable attorney fees as shall be set by the trial court or courts on appeal. The price on all Goods provided for herein shall be Timber Products’ price in effect on date of shipment regardless of the initial quoted price unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by Timber Products and the Purchaser. Unless Purchaser’s payment is accompanied by a statement detailed by Timber Products’ invoice number, Timber Products, in its sole discretion, may apply all payments it receives to Purchaser’s account in any manner it deems appropriate.
INTEGRATED CONTRACT: If Purchaser’s order requests or requires delivery of Goods in more than one installment, then the Goods involved in each delivery installment shall be deemed to be covered by a single contract, and Purchaser’s default in payment for one or more deliveries or installments of the contract shall constitute a default of the entire contract thereby relieving Timber Products of its obligation to provide the balance of the required deliveries under the contract.
NONCANCELLATION: Purchaser may not cancel or terminate its order for any reason except upon Timber Products’ written consent and only then upon payment of reasonable termination charges in an amount to be determined by Timber Products.
CREDIT TERMS: Timber Products reserves the right at any time to suspend credit or to change credit terms provided herein, when in its sole opinion Purchaser’s financial condition so warrants. In such case, in addition to any remedies herein or provided by applicable law, cash payment or satisfactory security from Purchaser may be required by Timber Products prior to delivery of Goods. Failure to pay invoices when due or if the financial condition of Purchaser is such as to give Timber Products reasonable grounds for insecurity Timber Products may, at its sole discretion, deem all outstanding invoices immediately due and payable upon written notice to Purchaser, and Timber Products may withhold all subsequent deliveries until Purchaser’s account is fully paid. Timber Products’ acceptance of less than full payment due shall not be a waiver of any of its rights. No cash discount will be allowed on payments made by trade acceptances, notes, securities, postdated checks, etc., unless approved in writing by Timber Products.
PRODUCT PROTECTION: To avoid warping, delamination, grain raise, mold growth; plywood, particleboard, other panel products and all dried wood products must be protected from moisture exposure during transit, storage, and use. Untreated green wood products will support mold growth.
