Terms
and Conditions of Sale
1. Conditional Acceptance; Objection to Purchaser's Terms; Entire
Agreement. Acceptance of Purchaser's order by H.B. Fuller Company or any
of its affiliated companies, including but not limited to, TEC Specialty
Products, Inc., Foster Products Corporation, Fiber-Resin Corp., Linear
Products, Inc., or EFTEC North America, L.L.C. (collectively or
individually “Fuller”) is expressly conditional upon Purchaser's
assent to the terms and conditions specified herein. Any term or condition
of Purchaser's order or other documentation supplied by Purchaser which is
different from, in addition to, or inconsistent with any term or condition
specified herein is hereby objected to and rejected and, unless hereafter
specifically accepted in writing by an authorized representative of
Fuller, such term or condition will not be binding on or effective against
Fuller. In the event a separate agreement (purchase agreement, override
agreement, etc.) covering terms and conditions of purchase has been
negotiated and agreed upon between the Purchaser and Fuller, and said
agreement is applicable, it should take precedence (to the extent of
conflicts) and the terms and conditions set forth herein will be
supplemental to those of such agreement. The contract embodies the entire
agreement of the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior understandings, communications and representations
between the parties, whether oral or written. No amendment to these terms
and conditions will be effective unless in writing and signed by an
authorized representative of Fuller.
2. Limited Warranty; Disclaimers; Limitation of Warranties and Remedies.
Fuller warrants that for a Warranty Period of one year (or the period
specified on the applicable Technical Data Sheet, whichever is less) from
the date of shipment from Fuller to the Initial Purchaser, this Fuller
product was manufactured in accordance with Fuller's specifications on the
date of shipment. These specifications are available upon request. This
Warranty does not cover test data, or any defects, damages or other harms
caused to any extent or in any way by failure to follow applicable Fuller
instructions, if any, or abuse or misuse of the product. THE FOREGOING
WARRANTY IS IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. FULLER
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ALTHOUGH FULLER MAY
HAVE SUGGESTED THE PRODUCT OR DEVELOPED THE PRODUCT AT THE PURCHASER'S
REQUEST, IT IS THE PURCHASER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TEST AND DETERMINE THE
SUITABILITY OF THE PRODUCT FOR THE PURCHASER'S INTENDED USE AND PURPOSE,
AND PURCHASER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY WHATSOEVER REGARDING SUCH
SUITABILITY. FOR ANY VALID CLAIM PRESENTED UNDER THE WARRANTY, FULLER WILL
REPLACE THE PRODUCT, OR AT ITS OPTION, REFUND THE PURCHASE PRICE. THIS
REPLACEMENT/REFUND REMEDY IS THE PURCHASER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
AGAINST FULLER. THE PURCHASER AGREES THAT NO OTHER REMEDY (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY OR
ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS) SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO
PURCHASER FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF THE PRODUCT REGARDLESS OF
THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER). IN NO EVENT WILL FULLER BE
OBLIGATED TO PAY DAMAGES TO PURCHASER FOR ANY AMOUNT EXCEEDING THE PRICE
THAT PURCHASER PAID FOR THE PRODUCT.
3. Limitation of Actions; Venue. Any claim made or action commenced by
Purchaser under Fuller's limited warranty as set forth herein must be
brought within one year from the date of shipment from Fuller to the
Purchaser. Purchaser agrees that all disputes arising from Fuller's sale
of product to Purchaser shall be brought, if at all, in and before a court
located in the State of Minnesota to the exclusion of the courts of any
other state.
4. Delivery. Deliveries shall be F.O.B. point of shipment, unless
otherwise designated by Fuller. Fuller shall not be liable for any delay
in production or delivery due to any cause whatsoever beyond the
reasonable control of Fuller. Fuller shall not be liable for any damage to
or loss of product following delivery to the F.O.B. point, including any
damage or loss in transit.
5. Terms of Payment and Price. Subject to approval and continuation of
credit by Fuller, the terms of payment are 10 days net unless stated
otherwise on the invoice. In the event Fuller does not approve the credit
of the Purchaser, or if at any time after approval of credit and before
delivery, Fuller in its sole judgment, decides that the extension of
further credit is unjustified, terms of payment shall be those specified
by Fuller, including but not limited to C.O.D. or cash in advance. All
prices are subject to exception or change without notice. Pricing errors
may be corrected at any time.
6. Fair Labor Standards. Fuller certifies that goods sold hereunder comply
with all applicable requirements of Sections 6, 7, and 12 of the Fair
Labor Standards Act, as amended, and of regulations and orders of the U.S.
Dept. of Labor issued under Section 14 thereof.
