FloNergia Terms and Conditions of Sale These terms and conditions govern the sale of products (“Products”) and the provision of services (“Services”) by FloNergia Inc. and its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates (“FloNergia”). These terms and conditions (“Agreement”) take precedence over Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions to which notice of objection is hereby given. Acceptance by the Buyer is limited to and conditioned upon the Buyer’s assent to these terms and conditions. Neither FloNergia’s commencement of performance or delivery shall be deemed or constituted as acceptance of Buyer’s supplemental or conflicting terms and conditions. Buyer’s acceptance of the Products and/or Services from FloNergia shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY ONLY BE WAIVED OR MODIFIED IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF FLONERGIA.
Orders
All orders placed by the Buyer are subject to acceptance by FloNergia. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without FloNergia’s written consent. All orders must include delivery dates, quantities and complete description of Products being purchased. FloNergia may in its sole discretion allocate Product among its Customers.
Prices
The prices of the Products are those specified on the front of FloNergia’s invoice. Pricing for undelivered Product may be increased in the event of any increase in FloNergia’s cost, change in market conditions or any other causes beyond FloNergia’s reasonable control. Price quotations, unless otherwise stated, shall automatically expire fifteen (15) calendar days from the date issued and may be cancelled or amended within that period upon notice to Buyer.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by FloNergia, all prices quoted Ex Works at FloNergia’s warehouse and are exclusive of transportation and shipping insurance costs, and all taxes including, but not limited to, federal and provincial sales, excise, goods and services taxes and any other taxes. Buyer agrees to pay these taxes as required by the jurisdiction of Buyer’s place of business and any jurisdiction to which Products are to be directly shipped hereunder, or unless the sale is otherwise exempt from these taxes. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold FloNergia harmless for any liability for tax in connection with the sale, as well as the collection or withholding thereof, including penalties and interest thereon. When applicable, transportation and taxes shall appear as separate items on FloNergia’s invoice.
Payment
Full payment using VISA, MasterCard, American Express, C.O.D., cash, electronic wire transfer or certified company cheque is due promptly upon placing an order with FloNergia. An additional charge of 3% of the total invoice value will be applied to the invoice if paying by credit card. FloNergia may invoice each shipment separately and each shipment shall be considered a separate and individual contract. Buyer agrees to pay such invoice pursuant to its terms without the benefit of setoff or deduction.
All late payments shall be charged interest computed on a daily basis from the due date until paid in full. A late charge of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, will be imposed on all past due accounts. Buyer shall be liable for costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in any action to collect past due amounts.
Transportation charges, including transportation insurance, from FloNergia’s facility to Buyer’s facility shall be paid by the Buyer to FloNergia, in addition to the purchase price of the Product, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by FloNergia. FloNergia will select the carrier in the absence of specific instructions by the Buyer.
FloNergia reserves the right to establish and/or change credit and payment terms extended to the Buyer when, in FloNergia’s sole opinion, Buyer’s financial condition or previous payment record warrants such action. Further, on delinquent accounts, FloNergia shall not be obligated to continue performance under any agreement with Buyer.
If FloNergia believes in good faith that the Buyer’s ability to make payments may be impaired or if Buyer shall fail to pay any invoice when due, FloNergia may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof, and Buyer shall remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped
FloNergia retains a purchase money security interest in the Products delivered to the Buyer, and in their accessories, replacements, accessions, proceeds and Products, including accounts receivable (collectively, the “Collateral”) to secure payment of all amounts due under this Agreement. Buyer’s failure to pay all amounts hereunder in full when and as due shall constitute a default hereof and shall give FloNergia all rights of a secured party. If the Buyer fails to pay any amount when due, FloNergia shall have the right to repossess and remove all or any part of the Collateral from the Buyer. Any repossession or removal shall be without prejudice to any other remedy of FloNergia hereunder, at law or in equity. Buyer agrees, from time to time, to take any act and execute and deliver any document (including, without limitation, financing statements) reasonably requested by FloNergia to transfer, create, perfect, preserve, protect and enforce this security interest.
Any payment received from the Buyer may be applied by FloNergia against any obligation owing from Buyer to FloNergia, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such payment, without discharging the Buyer’s liability for any additional amounts owing from the Buyer to FloNergia, and the acceptance by FloNergia of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of FloNergia’s right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance.
Delivery and Title
All deliveries will be made Ex Works FloNergia’s warehouse facility. Subject to FloNergia’s right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier shall constitute delivery to Buyer and title and risk of loss shall thereupon pass to the Buyer. Selection of the carrier and delivery route shall be made by Buyer unless prearranged with FloNergia. Buyer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by FloNergia are estimates only and FloNergia shall not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of FloNergia nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of FloNergia. In the event of delay caused by such event, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost as a consequence of the delay in delivery without subjecting FloNergia to any liability or penalty. If the Products perished while in the custody of the carrier, the FloNergia shall be deemed to have performed its obligations in full. Delivery of a quantity, which varies from the quantity specified, shall not relieve the Buyer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered. Delay in delivery of one installment shall not entitle Buyer to cancel other installments.

IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE FOUND BY AN ARBITRATION PANEL OR COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO BE INVALID OR INAPPLICABLE UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR PROVINCIAL LAW, BUYER AGREES THAT FLONERGIA’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.
