TERMS AND CONDITIONS
DEFINITIONS:
As used in this document, the term ‘Products’ shall mean the item(s) offered for sale by Custom Marine (CMI) as part of its regular business. The term ‘Seller’ shall mean CMI, and the term ‘Buyer’ shall mean the person or company purchasing Products from CMI.
GOVERNING SALES CONTRACT:
These Terms and Conditions constitute the Sales Contract between Buyer and CMI with respect to the Products. No attempted modification or addition to these terms and conditions by Buyer is acceptable to or binding upon CMI and CMI hereby expressly rejects any such attempted modification or addition.
PRICING:
All CMI listed prices are stated in U.S. dollars, f.o.b. Neenah, WI, and are subject to change without notice. Catalog prices do not include any crating or shipping costs. CMI is not responsible for printing errors. Freight charges included in any quote are subject to adjustment for actual cost incurred by CMI. For Products being shipped outside the continental limits of the United States, all expenses and fees relating to export/import shall be the responsibility of the Buyer. In addition to the purchase price, the Buyer agrees to reimburse CMI for any cost incurred as a result of:
Changes in the Product or delays in delivery as requested by the Buyer.
Delays in delivery because the Buyer failed to provide requested information.
Changes in the laws, rules or regulations that apply to the Products, after the date of quotation.
PAYMENT TERMS:
All payments shall be in U.S. DOLLARS, without offset, back charge, retention or withholding of any kind. Unless otherwise agreed to, all invoices are immediately due and payable upon delivery of Products. Unless otherwise agreed to, all CMI orders are shipped C.O.D. (cashiers or certified check), unless use of an approved major credit card, or prepayment is arranged. Special custom orders require a 50% deposit prior to manufacturing the Product. Minimum order requirement is $50, not including shipping charges. Any orders totaling less than $150, may be assessed an additional $50 service charge and any orders totaling more than $150 but less than $250 may be assessed an additional $25 service charge; back orders excluded. Buyer shall pay to CMI all costs of collection incurred by CMI to collect any delinquent payment owed by Buyer, including court costs, expenses and attorney’s fees.
SHIPPING:
All CMI shipments will be made UPS Ground Collect, unless Buyer specifies otherwise. All shipments will be fully insured, unless declined in writing by the Buyer. If insurance is declined, the entire order must be prepaid before shipping. Any claims for lost or damaged goods must be made directly to the specific carrier. All shipping dates are estimates only, and are subject to change, based upon, but not limited to, production scheduling and material availability. CMI will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet any requested delivery date, but CMI shall not assume any liability if the date is missed. IN NO EVENT SHALL CMI BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF USE OR FOR ANY OTHER DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DELAY IN DELIVERY REGARDLESS OF THE REASON(S). Any Buyer who refuses delivery of any order, excluding damaged shipments, shall be required to pay the additional return freight charges and/or a 15% restocking fee. These charges must be paid in full before any future orders will be shipped. Products shall be inspected upon receipt. Failure of the Buyer to notify CMI of any defects within 30 days, or to permit CMI a reasonable opportunity to correct any defects, shall constitute acceptance of the Product.
SHIPPING & HANDLING CHARGES:
For orders less than $150.00, a shipping and handling charge of $50 will be assessed. For orders between $150 and $250 a shipping and handling charge of $25 will be assessed. Drop shipped orders are subject to additional surcharges.
RETURN AUTHORIZATION:
For a 90 day period, subsequent to the original purchase date, a Buyer may call CMI to request a written authorization to return stock items. The Buyer must provide CMI with the invoice number, date and reason for returning the items. Unless otherwise agreed to, only the original Buyer will be allowed to return CMI Products for credit. Upon CMI approval, the Buyer will receive authorization for the prepaid freight return of the Product(s) Buyer desires to return to CMI. After inspection to verify that the items are in a new, unused, salable condition, CMI will issue a credit to Buyer, less a 15% restocking fee, based on the original purchase price paid. All custom or special order items will not be accepted for return. The Product needs to be shipped to the following address:

FORCE MAJEURE:
CMI shall not be liable for any failure to perform hereunder if such failure is caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by fires, floods and other acts of God; war, terrorism, or other hostilities; strikes or other labor disputes; work stoppages; accidents and casualties; inability to procure supplies, fuel and raw materials; delays in transportation, restrictions or regulations imposed by any governmental authority; quarantine or embargo; disease, illness, outbreak or plague including, without limitation, hoof-and-mouth disease; or any other cause beyond CMI’s control, whether of the kind enumerated or otherwise.
