Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale

Conditions
All orders or contracts are accepted with the understanding that they are subject to Hapco's ability to obtain the necessary raw materials, and all orders or contracts as well as shipments applicable thereto are subject to Hapco's current manufacturing schedules, and government regulations, orders, directives and restrictions that may be in effect from time to time.

Quotations
Written quotations automatically expire thirty (30) calendar days from the date issued unless otherwise stated on the face of the quotation. Quotes are subject to termination by notice within that period. Quotations are subject to correction in the event of clerical errors. Prices quoted are for specific quantities shown, released for manufacture and shipment at one time to one destination unless otherwise stated. Any change in the quantity of an order and/or split shipments are subject to price revision. Quotations are subject to change in the event complete specifications or requirements are not provided.

Prices
Prices are subject to change without notice and orders calling for future shipment will be billed according to the price in effect at the time of shipment, unless otherwise specified.

Taxes
Prices on the specified products are exclusive of all city, state and federal excise taxes, including without limitation, taxes on manufacture, sales, receipts, gross income, occupation, use and similar taxes. Wherever applicable, any tax or taxes will be added to the invoice as a separate charge to be paid by the Buyer.

Purchase Order
If this quotation is accepted and Buyer's order form is used for the purpose, it is expressly understood and agreed that the terms and conditions herein set forth shall prevail insofar as the same may in any way conflict with the terms and conditions set forth in such order form, and the issuance of such order by Buyer shall be deemed to note Buyer's assent to the foregoing.

Packaging
Unless otherwise stated on the face of the quotation, all packaging will be in accordance with Hapco's standard practices for domestic shipment.

Shipment
All prices are F.O.B. Hapco's factory (Abingdon, Virginia), unless otherwise stated. Method and route of shipment are at Hapco's discretion, unless the Buyer supplies explicit shipping instructions. When Buyer specifies method of shipment, any additional shipping expense will be charged to Buyer. Shipping charges are not intended to guarantee the delivery at or to destination. Identification of goods to the contract shall occur as each shipment is placed in the hands of the carrier.
Anchor bolts shipped in advance of poles will be charged freight.

Deliveries
Deliveries shall be subject to, and contingent upon, strikes, labor difficulties, civil unrest, war, fire, delay or defaults of common carriers, failure or curtailment in Hapco's usual sources of supply, governmental decrees or orders, or without limiting the foregoing, any other delays beyond Hapco's reasonable control, and Hapco shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising therefrom. Hapco shall have the additional right, in the event of the happening of any of the above contingencies, at its option, to cancel this contract or any part thereof, without any resulting liability. Shipments made within twenty (20) days after specified date of delivery shall constitute a good delivery. Any delivery not in dispute shall be paid for regardless of other controversies relating to other delivered or undelivered merchandise.

Cancellation
An order once placed and accepted by Hapco can be canceled only with Hapco's consent and upon terms that will indemnify Hapco against loss.

Payment Terms
Net amount of invoice is due and payable in full within thirty (30) days of invoice date. If in Hapco's opinion, the financial condition of the Buyer at any time does not justify continuance of production or shipment on the terms of payment specified, Hapco may require full or partial payment in advance of manufacture or shipment. Any indebtedness owing to Hapco for a period longer than thirty (30) days shall bear interest until paid at the current prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. If Hapco finds it necessary to place any indebtedness hereunder in the hands of an attorney for collection, the Buyer shall pay all expenses and costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees.

Liability
Hapco shall not be liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from delay or inability to deliver on account of fire, labor troubles, accident, acts of civil or military authorities, or from any other cause beyond Hapco's control.

Returned Material
In no case are goods to be returned without prior written consent. Only unused material as currently manufactured, which has been invoiced to Buyer, within thirty (30) days, will be considered for return. Material accepted for credit is subject to a minimum service charge of twenty-five percent (25%) plus all transportation charges. Material built to order is not subject to return for credit under any circumstances. Goods must be securely packaged to reach Hapco without damage.

Hapco's Right of Possession
Hapco shall have the right, in addition to all others it may possess, at any time, for credit reasons or because of Buyer's default or defaults, to withhold shipments, in whole or in part, and to recall goods in transit, retake same, and repossess all goods which may be stored with Hapco for Buyer's account, without the necessity of taking any other proceedings, and Buyer consents that all the merchandise is so recalled, retaken or repossessed shall become Hapco's absolute property, provided that the Buyer is given full credit therefore. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting, in any manner, any of the rights or remedies available to Hapco because of any default of Buyer under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force and effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia on the date of signing this agreement.

Hapco makes no representations or warranties concerning this order except such as are expressly contained herein, and this order may not be changed or modified orally.
