Entire Agreement - The Terms of this document constitute a contract for sale between Commdoor Aluminum (a partnership of Fran-car 2000 Inc. and Fran-Car Aluminum Inc. and a company within the Toro Aluminum Group of Companies) (hereinafter "Seller" or “Commdoor”) and Buyer [designated on the face hereof] (hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer”). This document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior purchase orders, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the parties in connection herewith. This document shall not be expanded or supplemented by a course of dealing, usage of trade, or course of performance. The Terms shall prevail and take precedence over the provisions contained in any other prior correspondence, quotation, shipping document, purchase order or other instrument.

No terms and conditions which are inconsistent with or in addition to these Terms (including any amendment to the Terms contemplated herein) shall be binding on Seller unless they have been specifically reviewed and accepted in writing by Seller. Failure of Seller to object to any inconsistent or additional terms and conditions shall not be construed as a waiver, nor as an acceptance of any other terms and conditions.

Buyer shall be deemed to accept the Terms upon the earlier of: (a) Buyer’s receipt of this document; and (b) Buyer’s acceptance of all or any part of the goods delivered by, or on behalf of, the Seller pursuant to any purchase order or quotation (the "Goods").

  1. Price - All prices, whether herein named or heretofore quoted or proposed, shall be valid for the period set out in the relevant quotation or customer price sheet, as applicable, and are based on quantities, sizes and descriptions set out. The Seller is not responsible for any interpretation of the description provided herein. All changes to purchase orders must be provided in writing and may be subject to price revisions. All finishing and non-stock extrusion orders will be subject to a minimum charge as set out in the relevant quotation unless otherwise agreed upon. All taxes, duties and other governmental or administrative charges and levies of any kind whatsoever resulting from or otherwise arising out of this contract, including, but not limited to, property, sales, use, value-added, withholding or other taxes which may be payable or collectable at the date hereof or in the future by Seller as a result of this contract shall be the responsibility of Buyer and shall be in addition to the price.
  2. Terms of Payment - Buyer shall pay Seller for the Goods on the earlier of: (i) 30 days of the invoice date or (ii) in accordance with the specific agreed upon Terms. Buyer agrees to execute either prior or after delivery, upon Seller's request, a security agreement, financing statement, and any and all other documents or agreements necessary to give Seller a perfected security interest with respect to all Goods and proceeds thereof, and to pay the cost of filing same.
  3. Credit Approval - All quotations are subject to Buyer credit approval by Seller. Seller reserves the right to refuse shipment of any and all goods identified in any quotation, to modify the Payment Terms identified therein or to cancel without penalty or charge any contract formed and concerning the Goods identified in its quotation if, in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever, Seller requests and is unable to secure acceptable payment assurances from Buyer for the goods identified in the quotation.
  4. Delivery Time - All delivery times are approximate and are subject to variation without notice. No delivery shall occur until Seller has received all details from Buyer necessary to execute the order and Seller shall not be held liable for any such delay. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Buyer's requested delivery dates. The delivery date will be agreed on mutually between the Buyer and Seller. Buyer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by Seller are estimates only and that Seller is not liable for failure to deliver on such dates, or for any loss or damage to Buyer or others as a result of any delay or change in the delivery time regardless of the cause. Delay in delivery of one instalment shall not entitle Buyer to cancel other instalments.

    Seller shall not be liable for any delay in performance due to acts of God, war, riot, embargoes, acts of civil war or military authorities, fires, floods, earthquakes, earth movements, accidents, strikes, labour unrest, delays in transportation, shortage or interruption in fuel, electricity, labour or materials, or any circumstance or cause beyond the control of Seller. In addition, Seller shall have the right, in the event of the happening of any of the above contingencies, to cancel this agreement or any part therefore without resulting liability.
  5. Technical Aspects – Wind load analysis and thermal stress analysis are recommended to confirm Curtain Wall requirements and will be at the sole expense and responsibility of the Buyer. All quality requirements exceeding the Seller's standards must be specifically approved in advance by Seller’s Technical Department and shall bear an additional charge.
  6. Delivery, Shipment, Risk of Loss - Shipments shall be F.O.B. Seller's warehouse and Buyer is responsible for collecting material from Seller’s facility unless agreed otherwise. All transportation charges shall be paid by Buyer in addition to the price of the Goods. Subject to Seller's right of stoppage in transit and payment of the price of the Goods, the earlier of: (i) notification to the Buyer that the Goods have been completed and are ready for shipment and (ii) delivery of the Goods to the carrier, shall constitute delivery to Buyer and title and risk of loss shall thereupon pass to Buyer. If payment of the price of the Goods is deferred on the basis of credit arrangements between the Buyer and Seller passage of title to the Goods shall be deferred to the date payment is received by the Seller. Regardless of whether title passes at the time of shipment Buyer agrees to assume risk for loss of, or damage to, the Goods from such time.

    At its own expense, Buyer shall procure and maintain adequate insurance on the Goods for the benefit of Buyer and Seller protecting against loss, damage, deterioration, or other casualty occurring during shipment. Seller shall not be responsible for any damage, including any concealed damage, of or to any Goods which occurred prior to or as a result of delivery of such Goods to Buyer, unless Buyer notifies Seller of any such damage within ten (10) days of receipt if delivered to Buyer’s plant or within three (3) days if delivered to the Buyer’s designated jobsite, of the relevant Goods, at which time the Seller shall have the right to field inspect such Goods to verify such damage and its cause.

Secondly, Commdoor, at its discretion will determine if Buyer transports are suitable for loading of Goods, and will refuse to load any vehicle Commdoor deems to be unsuitable.
