Terms & conditions

1.ACCEPTANCE, GOVERNING PROVISION AND CANCELLATIONS.

No orders for Rex Power Magnetics (hereinafter “Rex”) equipment or services shall be binding upon Rex until accepted in writing by an authorized official of Rex. Any such order shall be subject to these General Conditions Of Sale (hereinafter “Conditions“) and acceptance shall expressly conditioned upon assent to such Conditions, which assent shall be deemed given unless purchaser shall expressly notify Rex to the contrary within five (5) days after receipt of acknowledgment or confirmation of an order and in all events prior to any delivery or other performance of such order.
No order accepted by Rex may be altered or modified by purchaser unless agreed to in writing signed by an authorized official of Rex and no such order may be cancelled or terminated except upon payment of Rex’s loss, damage and expense arising from such cancellation or termination. See Cancellation Policy Section 5
Modifications or other conditions will NOT be recognized by Rex unless specifically agreed to in writing and failure of Rex to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from a purchaser (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind) shall not be construed as a waiver of these Conditions nor an acceptance of any such provision. Any contract for sale and these Conditions shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the Province of Ontario.

2.QUOTATION AND PRICES

Written quotations are conditioned upon acceptance by purchaser within thirty (30) days from date issued and shall be considered as offers by Rex to sell during such 30-day period unless sooner terminated by notice. All prices are subject to change without notice. In the event of a net price change, the price of the equipment on order but unshipped will be adjusted to the price in effect at the time of shipment. Downward adjustment of prices shall apply only to unshipped portions of outstanding orders. All clerical errors are subject to correction.

3.STATEMENT TERMS

Terms, discounts and discount dates shall be as stated in quotations, discount schedules, catalogues, invoices or other Rex publications, and shall be final, provided that a service charge will be charged on accounts past due.
Rex reserves the right at any time to demand full or partial payment before proceeding with a contract of sale if, in its judgment, the financial circumstances of the purchase no longer justifies the terms of payment specified in the contract document.
If delivery is delayed or deferred by purchaser beyond the scheduled date, payment shall be due in full when Rex is prepared to ship and the equipment may be stored at the risk and expense of purchaser. If purchaser defaults when payment is due, then the whole contract price shall become due and payable upon demand, or Rex, at its option, without prejudice to other lawful remedies, may defer delivery or cancel the contract of sale.

4.DELIVERY

Delivery of equipment to a carrier at any major plant or other shipping point shall constitute delivery to purchaser, and, regardless of freight payment, all risk of loss or damage in transit shall pass to purchaser at that time. Great care is taken in packing Rex equipment. Rex cannot be held responsible for breakage after having received “in good order” receipts from the transportation company. All claims for loss and/or damage must be made by the purchaser to the carrier. Claims for shortage or other errors must be made in writing to Rex within five (5) days after receipt of shipment, and failure to give such notice shall constitute the qualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by purchaser.
No allowances will be made in lieu of transportation if purchaser accepts shipment at factory, warehouse, freight station, or otherwise supplies its own transportation.
Method and route of shipment will be at the discretion of Rex, unless purchaser shall specify otherwise, and any additional expense of the method or route of shipment specified by the purchaser shall be borne by purchaser. Rex reserves the right to make delivery in installments, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract for sale; and all such installments when separately invoiced shall be paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. Delay in delivery of any installment shall not relieve purchaser of its obligations to accept remaining deliveries. Shipping dates are approximate and are based upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from the purchaser. Rex shall not be liable for any damage as a result of any delay due to any cause beyond Rex’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, an act of God; act of purchaser, embargo or other governmental act, regulation or request; fire; accidents; strikes; slow-downs, wars, riots, delays in transportation; car shortages; and inability to obtain necessary labour, materials or manufacturing facilities. In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. Extra costs incurred by routing to purchaser’s requirements will be assumed by the purchaser.
