Terms & Conditions

In these conditions, the “Merchandise” means those items described in Seller’s purchase order confirmation; “Seller” means BlueMark, Inc., Bluemark; and “Buyer” means the firm or person by whom Merchandise is to be purchased and all permitted assignees thereof. Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase Merchandise from time to time on the terms, conditions and provisions set forth herein, ALL OF WHICH BUYER HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS AND TO WHICH IT AGREES.

  1. Terms.

    Payment for all Merchandise is due and shall be paid according to the terms appearing on the face of the invoice or purchase order confirmation from Seller. In the absence of such terms, payment terms shall be net 30 days. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the invoice or order confirmation, prices do not include city, county, state, Federal or other taxes imposed on the Merchandise. All such taxes shall be added to the price and paid by Buyer. Unless otherwise specifically stated on the invoice, the invoice amount and all taxes shall be paid in cash, in full, when due. Any amount not paid on the date it is due shall accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum.

  2. Quantity.

    Seller shall be deemed to have complied with its contractual obligations in full hereunder notwithstanding a delivery of up to 10% less or 10% more than the quantities appearing on the purchase order. Seller shall be entitled to make partial deliveries and in such case each such delivery shall be invoiced by Seller and shall be paid for by Buyer in accordance with Clause 1.

  3. Delivery.

    Seller will make commercially reasonable best efforts to deliver all Merchandise by the delivery date specified on the order confirmation, and will promptly notify Buyer when a delivery is not expected to be timely. If Buyer fails to take delivery promptly of the goods when tendered, any cost, loss or damage arising from such failure shall be at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense. Seller may then (but shall not be bound to) take steps at the Buyer’s expense to store, protect and insure the goods. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order confirmation, all goods shall be delivered F.O.B. Valencia, California.. Seller will order only sufficient Merchandise to fulfill Buyer’s order and therefore cannot guarantee immediate availability of reorders. Passing of Title, liability for and risk of loss of any Products shall pass to Buyer at the time such Products leave the sellers manufacturing facility.

  4. Increased Cost.

    If Seller’s cost of performance is increased after the date of this contract due to events which are beyond the reasonable control of Seller, or which are otherwise unavoidable, the Buyer agrees to compensate Seller for these increased costs. The Buyer shall bear the burden of any existing, new, or increased tax, public charge, freight, tariff or duty which may after the date of the quotation or contract be levied on or imposed upon this transaction. When unit prices have been based on estimated weights provided by Buyer and if it is determined that the actual weights of Merchandise vary from those provided, the unit prices may be adjusted up or down accordingly.

    No Return of Product. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Products are being specially made for Buyer. Buyer is responsible to pay Seller for all Products that are ordered, unless such order is canceled prior to Seller’s acceptance of the order. Seller has no obligation to accept any Products Buyer may seek to return.

  5. Changes.

    Any changes or deviations required by Buyer as to any Merchandise after Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s order shall be agreed upon between both as to any additional cost or savings to be effected by such changes or deviations. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, then such sales order shall, at the option of either party, be cancelled by written notice, and Buyer shall pay Seller for all expenses incurred up to the time of receipt of such notice.

  6. Services.

    If Seller performs any services for Buyer, including but not limited to, payment of drayage, freight, duty or insurance, such services shall be performed as an agent for Buyer and for Buyer’s account.

  7. Credit.

    If Seller makes a demand for an assurance of performance or payment and Buyer fails to provide reasonably adequate assurances within 10 days, then Seller (without liability to Seller), may refuse, change or withdraw extensions of credit at any time, and may demand cash payments upon delivery or prior to shipment of the goods. If Buyer fails to comply with such changes (such as failure to make cash payments) Seller may, on written notice to Buyer, terminate the order, and in the event of any such termination Buyer shall compensate Seller for any commitments and costs Seller has incurred in connection with the order or termination thereof.

  8. Security Interest.

    Buyer hereby grants to Seller a security interest in all Merchandise, whether or not it has been incorporated into other goods or otherwise become accessions, and in the whole into which Merchandise becomes an accession, and in all proceeds and products thereof, including without limitation cash, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights, accounts, payment intangibles and general intangibles, to secure the payment and performance of all obligations now or hereafter owing by Buyer to Seller, and such security interest shall remain valid and enforceable unless and until Buyer makes full payment to Seller for the Merchandise. Until payment, Seller shall be entitled to enter any premises to inspect the goods and if Buyer shall fail to make due payments for them, to retake and re-claim the goods in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). Buyer hereby appoints Seller its agent to execute all documents and do all things on its behalf in order to perfect and give full effect to the security interests of Seller pursuant to this Section and to maintain such rights or interests enforceable against third parties in all jurisdictions where the goods may be situated. Buyer shall insure the Merchandise for its full insurable value and shall name Seller as a loss payee with respect to the Merchandise, as its interests may appear.

  9. Claims.

    Buyer or its agent shall inspect or test all goods upon receipt. Buyer waives any right to assert a claim against Seller arising from any non-conformity which would have been observable on reasonable inspection or testing at the time of delivery, unless Seller is advised of the nonconformity within 72 hours after receipt of such goods by Buyer. Subject to the foregoing sentence, should any of the goods supplied fail materially to conform to the specifications and description in Seller’s confirmation of Buyer’s purchase order, then the Merchandise claimed by Buyer to be non-conforming shall be set aside, protected and held by Buyer without further processing until Seller has an opportunity to inspect and advise of the disposition, if any, to be made of such Merchandise. In no event shall any goods under claim be returned, reworked or scrapped by Buyer without the express written authorization of Seller. In the event of non-conformity as aforesaid, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be limited to the repair or replacement of any non-conforming goods or to the repayment of the portion of the purchase price paid by Buyer attributed to the non-conforming item. Availability of remedies shall be subject to Buyer’s return of the non-conforming Merchandise, in substantially the condition delivered to Buyer, to a place designated by Seller. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL SELLER BE UNDER ANY OTHER LIABILITY (AND IN PARTICULAR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT LOSSES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS).

  10. Insurance.

    Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain in full force and effect during the Term and for any order, the following types and amounts of insurance (a) any insurance as required by law; (b) commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence; (c) professional liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence; (d) commercial umbrella insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. (e) all risk property damage insurance insuring the Products in an amount not less than the actual replacement costs thereof, and (f) all risk cargo insurance for any and all transportation exposures, whether related to an owned vehicle, third party contract or common carrier, in an amount not less than the actual replacement costs thereof. Upon BlueMark’s request, Buyer shall provide BlueMark a certificate of insurance and related documentation that such insurance coverage has been obtained and procured by Buyer.

  11. Warranty. SELLER WARRANTS THAT THE PRODUCTS SHALL BE FREE OF DEFECTS AND MATCH THE SAMPLE PRODUCT APPROVED BY BUYER, IF ANY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE AGREEMENTS OF SELLER HEREIN, SELLER MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS.
  12. Force Majeure.

    Seller shall provide notice at the earliest practicable time in the event of non-fulfillment or delayed performance of all or any part of any contract for the sale of Merchandise, due, directly or indirectly, to any Act of God, government orders, rules or restrictions, fire, flood, war, strikes, labor disputes, transportation delays, loss or damage to the Merchandise in transit, Seller’s inability to obtain or ship the goods, the failure of any third party to supply Seller with the Merchandise, or any other casualties, contingencies, occurrences or conditions whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of Seller (collectively, a “Force Majeure Event”). Following such Bluemark Inc. Standard Terms of Sale, Seller shall have such additional period of time, up to 60 days, to fulfill performance, and if Seller cannot fulfill performance within such period due to the Force Majeure Event then either party shall have the option to perform or cancel the contract or any unfulfilled portion thereof, at no penalty or cost to Seller.

  13. Choice of Law.

    Each contract for the sale of Merchandise hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California which are in force on the date of this Agreement, without reference to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Whenever a term defined by the UCC as adopted in the State of California is used in this contract, the definition in said UCC shall control. In the event that the Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations, Seller shall be entitled to all legal and equitable remedies including those specified herein and under the UCC.

  14. Modifications; No Waiver.

    No modification or waiver of any term or condition herein shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Seller. Seller may accept or reject any modification at its sole discretion and if the proposed modification is rejected, then Buyer shall continue to be bound by the purchase order confirmation, the invoice, and these Terms and Conditions.

  15. Default; Remedies.

In the event of any such termination, or any cancellation by Buyer, Buyer shall compensate Seller for any commitments and costs Seller has incurred in connection with such contract or termination thereof. Any security interest in favor of Seller shall survive such termination until all sums owing to Seller are paid in full. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law or in equity.
