Orders shall be either submitted via a Mark-A-Hydrant sales representative, phone, email or Mark-A- Hydrant's web site, to Mark-A- Hydrant and shall not be binding upon Mark-A- Hydrant unless and until the order has been accepted in writing or Product has been shipped in accordance with the order. Changes requested by Customer to an accepted order may be treated by Mark-A- Hydrant as a separate order. If any such change affects Mark-A- Hydrant's ability to meet its obligations under the original order, any price, anticipated shipment date, anticipated installation date or other term is subject to change and additional charges may apply.


3. PRICES AND DELIVERY. Prices do not include shipping charges, the cost of insurance, import duties or VAT, sales, use, excise, withholding or similar taxes. Customer shall directly pay or reimburse Mark-A- Hydrant for any such taxes, insurance and import duties applicable to the sale or furnishing of any Product hereunder. Anticipated shipment dates are based on conditions prevailing at time of order acceptance. Mark-A- Hydrant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet any such shipment dates, however, Mark-A- Hydrant shall not be liable for any damages resulting from its failure to meet any shipment date, even if Mark-A- Hydrant has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the absence of specific routing instructions, Mark-A- Hydrant reserves the right to make selections of common carrier and method of shipment. All Products shall be shipped F.O.B. destination. Title and risk of loss or damage shall pass to Customer upon delivery of the Products by Mark-A- Hydrant at the point of destination.


4. PAYMENT. Customer shall pay Mark-A- Hydrant net fifteen (15) days from the invoice date. Amounts outstanding for more than fifteen (15) days will be subject to a monthly charge at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. It is agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages suffered by Mark-A- Hydrant as a result of Customer's failure to make timely payment. Accordingly, Customer and Mark-A- Hydrant agree that the late payment charge of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month is a reasonable estimate of such damages and shall serve as liquidated damages in the event of late payment by Customer. If Mark-A- Hydrant has any concerns as to the payment history or ability of Customer, it may ship any or all Products only against prior payment, letter of credit, C.O.D. or other payment terms specified by Mark-A- Hydrant.
