1. SCOPE These terms of sale apply to the
sales of products by RAB Lighting, Inc ("RAB").
These terms may in some instances conflict with some
of the terms proposed by the Buyer. Therefore,
acceptance of the Buyer's order is made only on the
express understanding that to the extent that any of
these terms and conditions conflict with any terms of
the Buyer's order, these terms and conditions shall
govern. These terms shall be deemed accepted by
Buyer's placing an order, accepting the goods, or
tendering full or partial payment. RAB's failure to
object to provisions contained in any communication
from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of these
terms. Any additions to, or deviation from these terms
must be proposed to RAB at its office, and must be
accepted in writing by RAB before such terms will
become part of
the contract.
2. PAYMENT Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by RAB, no order will be
accepted by RAB unless the full purchase price and all other charges accompany the order.
3. SALES TAX Buyer shall pay any and all
applicable sales tax or use tax, if any, plus
any other applicable federal, state, or local
taxes imposed on this sale, excluding,
however, any income tax.
4.
CANCELLATION In the event that the
Buyer cancels the Buyers order prior to
shipment, then the Buyer shall be charged a
50% cancellation fee. No order may be
cancelled after shipment.
5.
RETURNS Products may not be returned
without prior written authorization issued by
RAB in its sole and absolute discretion. All
returns shall be subject to a restocking
charge equal to 50% of the purchase price of
the products together with all other costs of
RAB, including the costs of preparing the
products for resale. Authorization may be
sought telephoning 888.722.1000. All returned
items must be sent to a RAB specified
location, freight prepaid. All requests for

ground transport in RAB's sole discretion.
Buyer shall pay Seller the cost of shipment,
including any export charges or taxes. The
Buyer shall pay the cost of shipment of the
Anchor Bolts, which may be shipped separately
by RAB, on the terms described herein. All
costs of insurance, documentation, and bank
charges incurred in shipments shall be borne
by Buyer. Buyer shall have sole responsibility
for filing any claims with any carrier for
delay, loss or damage. Any estimated or "firm"
delivery dates or periods are predictions made
by RAB of the times within which it is likely
that the products will be shipped; however,
due to the difficulties inherent in predicting
future delivery dates or periods, RAB does not
promise, guarantee or otherwise obligate
itself to have products shipped on or before
that time. RAB does not guarantee the timing
of the shipment or the delivery of the Anchor
Bolts which may be shipped separately as
provided above. RAB WILL ENDEAVOR TO MEET THE
ESTIMATED OR "FIRM" DELIVERY DATES OR PERIODS,
BUT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN DAMAGES OR
OTHERWISE, NOR SHALL THE BUYER BE RELIEVED OF
PERFORMANCE, BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO MEET THEM.
7. RISK OF LOSS Title and risk of loss or
damage to Buyer when accepted by the carrier
at point of shipment. Claims for loss or
damage during transit or storage must be made
by Buyer directly to the carrier, storage
company, or insurance company, if any.
