TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR CUSTOM PRODUCTS
1. Terms. The terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Terms”),
and any modifications or additions thereto by Bauer Hockey, LLC (for
sales in the U.S.) and Bauer Hockey Ltd. (for sales outside the U.S.) shall
apply to you, (the “Customer”) relating to the purchase and sale of Seller’s
custom products (the “Custom Products”) and shall constitute the entire
agreement and understanding of Seller and Customer with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby. These Terms shall control irrespective
of any inconsistent or additional terms and conditions, whether printed or
otherwise, set forth in any communication from Customer to Seller, or
which otherwise would be deemed established by any course of dealing,
course of performance or usage of trade, unless otherwise provided herein.
By ordering Custom Products, Customer agrees to accept and be bound by
these Terms.
2. Acceptance of Order by Seller. Seller shall not be deemed to
have accepted any order (or any portion thereof) of Customer, with respect
to any of Seller's Custom Products until such order has been approved by
Seller at its home office and such Custom Products have been delivered by
Seller to the carrier for delivery to Customer as provided herein. Seller may
choose not to accept or cancel an order at any time in its sole discretion.
3. Sale by Customer. Not for resale. Unless otherwise agreed to
in writing by Seller, Customer shall resell the Custom Products only to
player(s) or team(s), for whom the Custom Products were ordered, in the
United States (if a Customer of a US Seller entity) or Canada (if a
Customer of a Canadian Seller entity). Customer shall not purchase Seller
Custom Products from any source other than Seller. Customer expressly
acknowledges and agrees that the damages suffered by Seller for a
breach of this Section 3 are impossible to estimate or quantify at this
time, and that such harm and damages suffered by Seller are likely to
be irreparable. Therefore, Customer agrees that liquidated damages
shall be awarded to Seller in the amount of Five Hundred US Dollars
(US$500) for each Custom Product sold or purchased by Customer in
violation hereof.
4. Prices and Payment. Seller’s prices are subject to change, at any
time and without notice, and shall be those prices in effect for its Custom
Products at the time of shipment. Invoices shall be issued upon shipment
of an order. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices are F.O.B. Seller's
place of manufacture and/or distribution of the Custom Products. Customer
shall also pay and be exclusively liable for all costs of shipping, delivery,
insurance and the like from the delivery point. Terms of payment shall be
as stated in the sales programs; payment shall be made in cash in United
States or Canadian dollars (as stated in invoice), with such discounts (if
any) for earlier payment as Seller may specify on the invoice(s) delivered
by it to Customer in connection with deliveries of the Custom Products.
Payment shall be remitted to the address specified on the invoice;
remittance stubs shall be included with all payments. Unless otherwise
specified, all payments received will be applied firstly to accrued service
charges, if any, and then to the oldest unpaid invoices. A $25.00 service
charge shall be applied to all returned checks. Discounts shall apply only
if all invoices are paid in full by their due dates. All overdue payments
shall be subject to an additional interest and service charge calculated at
the lower of eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum or the highest rate
allowed by applicable law. If, in the sole judgment of Seller, Customer's
financial condition at any time does not justify the commencement or
continuance of Seller's delivery of the Custom Products hereunder, Seller
may make a written demand for full or partial payment in advance, suspend
its performance until such payment is made and cancel all or any part of
Customer's order if Seller does not receive such payment within thirty (30)
days after such demand. In the event of collections by a third party, all
outstanding invoices shall be accelerated and become immediately due and
payable regardless of the original due date(s) on the invoice(s). Customer
shall be liable for all costs incurred by Seller to collect payments due from
Customer, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and collection
agency fees. Customer shall not set off against or deduct from any amounts
due to Seller all or any part of any amounts owed or alleged to be owed by
Seller to Customer or any damages or losses which Customer may have
sustained or allege to have sustained as a result of any breach or alleged
breach by Seller of any obligation of any kind to Customer (whether or not
arising hereunder or in connection herewith).
5. Taxes. Prices do not include any tax or other governmental
charge or assessment upon the sale, shipment, production or use of Custom
Products ordered or sold hereunder. Customer shall be solely responsible
for, and shall pay to Seller upon demand by Seller, any such tax, charge or
assessment (other than any such tax on or measured by Seller's income).
6. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to the Custom Products supplied
shall pass to Customer when delivered to the carrier, and thereafter, except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all risk of loss and/or damage to
the Custom Products ordered hereunder shall be borne by Customer.
7. Personalized text and use of images and logos. Each
uploaded text, image and logo will be reviewed upon order. By placing an
order Customer represents and warrants that it has the full right and
authority to use any trademarked or copyrighted material submitted for
inclusion in the Custom order. Seller reserves the right not to produce
personalized text, images or logos and to reject and cancel orders for
Custom Products containing text, images or logos that contain:
trademarked or copyrighted material if written authorization has not been
obtained from the appropriate organization/owner/holder and provided to
the Seller, inappropriate text, competitor graphics, celebrities, drugs,
alcohol, pornography, violence or offensive content. Customer shall be
notified in advance of any rejection and cancellation for any of these
reasons.
8. Order Cancellation by Customer. Once a Custom order has
been placed, the order is considered complete and cannot be changed or
adjusted. Customer must double check its selections and personalized
text. Bauer is not responsible for any error made by the Customer when
ordering the Custom Product. Due to the personalization aspect of
Custom Products, once a Custom Products order has been
submitted, it cannot be returned or refunded. All Custom Products
are final sale.
9. Delivery. Seller shall attempt in good faith to deliver Custom
Products in accordance with the instructions set forth herein, or on such
other schedule as Seller may provide to Customer in any communication
or response to an order, but Seller does not guarantee to meet such
schedule. Delivery shall be by such modes of transport and such carriers
as Seller, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. During any period
of shortage of any of the Custom Products, Seller shall have the right to
prorate and/or allocate its supply of such Custom Product among its
customers under any orders and contracts in any manner as Seller may
deem appropriate.
10. Inspection by Customer; Return of Custom Products.
Customer shall carefully examine and check all deliveries of Custom
Products as they are received and report to Seller within ten (10) business
days of delivery any alleged: (i) error, i.e. if Seller has made an error in not
providing the Custom Product selected, or in not using the correct
personalized text or images or logos provided, by Customer in its order,
Seller shall replace the Custom Product to satisfy Customer’s order, (ii)
shortage, (iii) defect or nonconformity of any such Custom Products (a
“Return Request”) in accordance with this Section 10. If Seller determines
that the Return Request is warranted it will issue a return authorization to
Customer in connection with such Return Request (a “Return
Authorization”) and Customer shall promptly return the Custom Products
to Seller for inspection. Seller reserves the right to refuse delivery of any
Custom Products returned without a Return Authorization. Any failure by
Customer to examine and deliver a Return Request within ten (10) business
days after delivery of the Custom Products shall constitute a waiver by
Customer of any claim or right of Customer against Seller arising
hereunder or by laws with respect to any such error, shortage, defect or
nonconformity reasonably discoverable by such examination and check.
11. General Warranty Terms. Limitation of Liability. The
following Custom Products are warranted against defects in
manufacturing and workmanship per the following terms:
-For a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery to the Customer:
-Custom skate boots;
-Custom skate runners;
-Custom hockey equipment (excluding custom helmets – see
below);
-Custom visors purchased separately; and
-Custom goalie masks.
-For a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the Customer:
-Custom molded skates, skate holders; and
-Custom helmets and helmet combos (wire/visor/shields).
The following Custom Products do not have any warranty:
-No Warranty:
-Custom pro stock and team sales sticks (custom composite
sticks/shafts/blades); and
-Custom skates without holders already mounted on the boots: The
custom skates are assembled with holders. The purchase of a pair
of custom skates without holders already mounted on the boots at
the request of the Customer voids all warranties and Seller shall not
be liable for any related injuries.
Please note that cracked or damaged custom helmets and visors, and
broken custom sticks will not be returned from our repair depot.
Seller warrants the Custom Products against manufacturing defect, from
the date of delivery to the Customer, for such periods as specified by Seller
in writing for each specific Custom Product. Liability of Seller under or
in connection with any sale of defective Custom Products shall be limited,
at the sole option of Seller, to the repair, replacement, or full or partial
refund of the purchase price, of any of the Custom Products or parts
thereof. The foregoing remedy shall constitute the sole and exclusive
remedy of Customer under or in connection with any sale of the Custom
Products. Except for Custom Products with no warranty, all Custom
Products alleged by Customer to be defective must be returned to the
Seller, together with proof of purchase. Customer is not authorized to
replace any allegedly defective Custom Product returned by a player or
team; Customer must return the Custom Product to Seller in accordance
with Seller’s return procedure. If after complete inspection, Seller
determines that the Custom Product is defective, it will be repaired or
replaced free of charge and if Seller determines that the Custom Product
is not defective, Seller will levy a predetermined charge for the repair of
broken Custom Products that can be repaired but to which this warranty
policy does not apply.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
CUSTOM PRODUCTS, ANY SALE THEREOF, OR SELLER’S
RELATIONSHIP WITH CUSTOMER.
12. Exclusion of Warranties. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF SELLER EXCEPT AS PROVIDED
HEREIN. THIS EXCLUSION MEANS THERE IS NO IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND NO IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS
EXCLUSION ALSO MEANS THAT SELLER GRANTS NO IMPLIED
WARRANTY ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF
DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, AND NONE SHALL
ARISE OUT OF ANY SALE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OUT OF
EITHER PARTY’S CONDUCT.
13. Modification and Cancellations by Seller. Except as expressly
provided herein, these Terms may not be modified, terminated, or
repudiated, in whole or in part, except in writing executed by an authorized
representative of Seller. Seller may, at its sole option, treat any attempted
modification, termination or repudiation to which it does not assent in
writing as a breach of the entire agreement and recover from Customer all
of Seller's damages (including without limitation special, indirect,
consequential and incidental damages) resulting therefrom or arising in
connection therewith. Upon any breach by Customer or failure by
Customer to comply with any of the Terms, or if Customer becomes unable
to conduct its normal business operations (including inability to meet its
obligations as they mature) or becomes the subject of any proceeding under
any state, provincial or federal bankruptcy law or other law for the benefit
of creditors or relief of debtors or makes any assignment for the benefit of
creditors, Seller shall have the right to immediately cancel or terminate any
and all agreements with, or obligations to, Customer relating to sales of the
Custom Products in whole or in such part as Seller in its sole judgment
shall deem expedient, and recover from Customer all of Seller's damages
(including without limitation special, indirect, consequential and incidental
damages) resulting therefrom or arising in connection therewith.
14. Waiver. Seller shall not be deemed to have waived any provision
hereof, or any breach by Customer of any provision hereof, unless
specifically set forth in writing and executed by an authorized officer of
Seller, and no waiver by Seller of any provision hereof or any breach by
Customer hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such provision or breach
on any other occasion.
15. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in
part, of any provision, term or condition hereof shall not affect in any way
the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision, term or
condition or of any other provision, term or condition hereof.
16. Governing Law. The Terms and the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New Hampshire, U.S.A. (for sales by US
Seller companies) or the Province of Ontario, Canada (for sales by Seller
companies outside the U.S.), excluding their conflict of laws provisions
and the courts located in New Hampshire, U.S.A. (for sales by US Seller
companies) or Toronto, Ontario, Canada (for sales by Seller companies
outside the U.S.) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any disputes
arising hereunder. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other
understandings whether oral or written.
