Terms and Conditions

General: For purposes of these Terms and Conditions of Sale (the "Terms and Conditions"), Grimco and the party purchasing goods and/or services from Grimco is referred to as the "Customer". All sales of products ("Products") by Grimco to Customer are subject to these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions are the entire terms and conditions related to and governing the sale of Products and Services by Grimco to Customer and to Customer's Account. Any provisions contained in any document issued by Customer are expressly rejected. Customer's receipt of Products or Grimco's commencement of performance of services ("Services") for Customer will constitute Customer's acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. No waiver, consent, modification, amendment or change of these Terms and Conditions shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Grimco and Customer. Grimco's failure to object to terms contained in any Customer document will not be a waiver or modification of these Terms and Conditions. All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by an authorized representative of Grimco.

Account: "Account" means a business charge account with Grimco established and which shall be used only for the purchase of Products and/or Services from Grimco for Customer's business use in Canada. Customer has chosen to apply for this account for its business use to purchase Products and/or Services on open account subject to these Terms and Conditions. In consideration of the granting of Account privileges by Grimco, Customer promises to pay Grimco for any purchases made on this Account, plus any other fees or charges pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Customer hereby agrees that this Account shall be used only for the purchase of Products and/or Services from Grimco and said purchases do not arise out of a consumer transaction and are therefore not governed by consumer credit regulations or other consumer protection legislation. Accounts inactive for a period greater than one (1) calendar year will be inactivated. Grimco retains the right to put any account on hold, refuse shipments or send to collection any Account determined to have above average days to pay or deemed as unsatisfactory account operation. Customer will receive written and verbal notification of any debt sent to collection.

Authorized Purchaser: Persons who may use the Account are those listed as "Authorized Purchasers" in the Account application. Customer agrees that it will promptly notify Grimco of any changes in the names/titles of Authorized Purchasers listed in the Account application. Customer agrees to be liable to the extent permitted by applicable law for any losses Grimco suffers due to Customer's failure to notify Grimco of any changes to the Authorized Purchasers list. Customer agrees that Grimco may rely upon all reasonable representations of persons representing themselves to be Customer's authorized agents with authority to make purchases against Customer's Account unless Customer has provided to Grimco's Manager of Credit a list of Authorized Purchasers in writing. Purchases and/or deliveries are authorized to be made without signature.

Credit Review and Approval; Credit Line/Limit: It is agreed that Grimco may investigate Customer's credit worthiness and that of any guarantor. Customer hereby authorizes any and all suppliers, credit agencies, banks, savings and loans, and/or other financial institutions to furnish credit information to Grimco to be used for determining whether to approve Customer's Account application and credit limit and for reviewing Customer's credit history and reviewing such credit limit and for any other lawful purpose. Customer agrees that Grimco may establish a limited line ("Credit Line") with a fixed credit limit for Customer's convenience and that Customer's Account balance at any one time will not exceed its Credit Line. Customer agrees that Grimco may unilaterally change Customer's Credit Line from time to time, based on Grimco's evaluation of changes in Customer's credit capacity, credit history and performance under its Account.

Invoicing/Payment Terms: Customer agrees that if an Account is opened with Grimco, all credit extended on the Account shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions. Customer agrees to accept Grimco's descriptive billing system accounting for all purchases on the Account. Grimco's invoice number will be the reference number used for billing and invoicing purposes to identify purchases of Products and/or Services. Purchase order numbers will be accepted by Grimco when available and printed on Customer's Account billing statement supplement for Customer's information only. These Terms and Conditions supersede those of any other document, including, but not limited to, executed purchase orders containing terms and conditions contrary to these Terms and Conditions. Upon establishment of an Account, Customer agrees to pay, at such place as Grimco designates, in accordance with the Account billing statement or invoice, Customer's total Account balance, and all applicable charges and fees which may then be in effect. From time to time, Grimco may, in Grimco's sole discretion, change the existing rates, charges, and these Terms and Conditions, as well as introduce new terms as may be authorized by law. Any such amendments will apply to the then existing balance of Customer's Account. Customer's failure to pay its Account pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may result in the suspension or termination of Customer's Account as determined by Grimco, in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise set forth on an invoice; Customer shall pay all amounts due within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. Grimco reserves the right to require from Customer full or partial payment in advance, or other security that is satisfactory to Grimco, at any time that Grimco believes in good faith that Customer's financial condition does not justify the terms of payment specified.

Late Charge: If Customer fails to pay any amounts when due, Customer shall pay Grimco interest thereon at a periodic rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per annum) (or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by law), together with all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and disbursements and court costs incurred by Grimco in collecting such overdue amounts or otherwise enforcing Grimco's rights hereunder.

Payment Application: If partial payment is made, unless Customer directs otherwise in writing with each remittance, payments will be applied first to any late or service charges, then against matching open items on the billing statement or invoice, or if not possible, against open items in order of age, with any remaining payment applied as a general credit (on account) reducing unpaid balances, as Grimco may determine in its sole discretion. Credit notes may be applied against older Account invoices or used against future purchases.

Limitation of Liability: NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (i) THE LIABILITY OF GRIMCO UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (WHETHER BY REASON OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, INDEMNIFICATION, OR OTHERWISE, BUT EXCLUDING LIABILITY OF GRIMCO FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY (THE SOLE REMEDY FOR WHICH SHALL BE AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS)) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY CUSTOMER TO GRIMCO WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT(S) GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, and (ii) IN NO EVENT SHALL GRIMCO BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF USE OF FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER GRIMCO (a) HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH POSSIBILITY WAS REASONABLY FORESEEABLE OR (b) IS NEGLIGENT.

Assignment:   Grimco reserves the right to assign Customer's Account at any time, without prior notice to Customer.

Severability: If, in any jurisdiction, any provision of these Terms and Conditions or their application to Grimco or Customer and its guarantor (if any) is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or without affecting its application to other parties or circumstances.
