IIL Americas Inc. Terms & Conditions of Sale
1. FORMATION OF CONTRACT:
These IIL Americas Inc. Terms and Conditions of Sale (this "Agreement") are incorporated into all contracts, however formed, with regard to all sale of goods and/or provision of services by IIL Americas Inc. ("us", "our", "we") to you, the body corporate, firm or person by which the goods and/or services are purchased ("you", "your"). No other terms, conditions, or understandings, whether oral or written shall be binding upon us, unless made in writing and signed by our authorized representative. Your acceptance is expressly limited to the terms of this Agreement; no order shall have any force or effect until acknowledged in writing by us or by our shipment of goods or provision of services, it being acknowledged that we are not obligated to accept any purchase order or may do so in whole or in part; any proposal for additional or different terms is hereby deemed material and is objected to and rejected. No terms of any document, purchase order or form submitted by you in any manner shall be effective to alter or add to this Agreement even where we do not object to them. Your receipt of any portion of the goods or our commencement of the performance of services, or any other conduct by you that recognizes the existence of a contract with respect to the goods or services described in our acknowledgment or invoice, shall constitute your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement without objection, and our acceptance of your order is expressly made conditional on your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement.
2. PRICES:
All goods are subject to prior sale, unless we otherwise expressly indicate in writing. The prices quoted may be changed by us at any time and from time to time without notice. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions in specifications or prices without liability. Unless we otherwise specify in writing, all freight, insurance and shipping charges shall be at your sole cost and expense. Payment shall be made in Canadian dollars or otherwise in the currency specified in the Contract Documents.
3. TAXES:
Any taxes which, under any existing or future law, we may be required to pay or collect with respect to the sale, purchase, delivery, storage, processing, use, consumption or transportation of any of the goods or services shall, if not separately shown, be added as a separate item to the quoted price and shall be paid by you to us on demand. The foregoing shall not apply to any taxes, the payment or collection of which by us is excused by reason of delivery to us of valid tax exemption certificates.
4. QUANTITIES:
We reserve the right to allocate goods and services to our customers as we see fit. On certain commodities, the producing mill reserves the privilege of shipping over or under the ordered weight or quantity in accordance with our established trade practices which will constitute full and complete shipment of the material specified. Without limiting the foregoing, and unless the Contract Documents expressly specify otherwise, delivery to you of a weight or quantity of goods up to 10% less than or greater than that which we have agreed to sell shall under no circumstances be a breach of contract by us or entitle you to reject the goods delivered. Unless the Contract Documents specify otherwise, we shall be entitled to select the basis on which to charge the goods, and such basis may include charging the goods on a calculated basis taking into account any usual industry standard tolerances applicable to such goods, including the weight, length, thickness, scrap loss and/or packaging of goods. The weight or quantity of the goods printed upon our advice or dispatch note shall be final unless you shall have given notice to us of any discrepancy in weight or quantity within 14 days after receiving the goods and shall have given us reasonable opportunity to witness the weight and/or quantity of the goods being verified before they have been used, processed or sold.
5. TERMS OF PAYMENT:
Upon credit approval, standard terms of payment will be designated in writing. You shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable for the supply of goods or services or otherwise under the Contract Documents to us because of any disputed claim in respect of defective goods or services or any other alleged breach of the Contract Documents. All amounts you owe us shall be paid without abatement, deduction, or setoff. The date of payment of an invoice shall be the date the payment is received by us at the location designated on the invoice. If, in our judgment, your financial condition or other matters do not justify continuance on the terms of payment above, we reserve the right, without liability and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies, to suspend performance, decline to ship, stop goods in transit, require full or partial payment in advance or otherwise adjust the terms of this Agreement including ceasing to supply you. If your account becomes delinquent, you shall be liable for all costs and expenses related to collection of past due amounts, including, without limitation, costs of collection, legal fees, costs and expenses. We reserve the right to process/convert cheques electronically. We may at any time, whether before the beginning of the performance of the contract or after partial performance thereof, require from you, partly or wholly, a payment in advance or require a guarantee acceptable to us that you shall satisfactorily fulfill your obligations towards us. We shall be under no obligation to justify our requirement for such payment in advance or guarantee. Invoices not paid when due are subject a late payment service charge of the lesser of 18% per annum (1.5% per month) or the highest rate permitted under law, calculated daily and compounded monthly.
6. DELIVERIES:
Any shipping and delivery dates or schedule indicated are approximate and are given for information only and shall under no circumstances be essential terms. Such dates are based on our present estimate of the time required to ship after receipt of your order, and prompt receipt of all necessary information from you, and in case of any item which is to be shipped from a producing mill upon current production schedules of the producing mill. Delays in securing your approval of any matter shall, at our discretion, extend the date of delivery. We reserve the right to make partial shipment(s) and invoice therefore, and each part delivery or instalment of the goods shall be deemed to be sold under a separate contract. We shall not be liable for any claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind whatsoever for delays in delivery or loss or damage in transit.
7. SHIPMENTS:
Unless otherwise expressly stated, shipment may be by carrier or other means selected by us. Unless otherwise agreed to in Contract Document, all shipments shall be at your cost. Risk of loss or damage to goods shall pass to you upon delivery to you, to your designated agent, or to a carrier for delivery to you, whichever occurs first.
8. STORAGE:
In the absence of agreed shipping dates, we may invoice you and ship the goods once they are ready for shipment. If, because of your inability to take delivery, the goods are not shipped, stopped in transit or returned, we may store them for you at your expense and risk, and subject to Section 7 above, risk of loss shall pass to you when the goods are placed in storage, and the goods shall be deemed to be delivered to you as of such date.
9. WARRANTIES:
a. You warrant that all information, documents and data that you provide to us is accurate and complete, and understand and acknowledge that we are relying thereon. You consent to use using any such information for any purposes connected with the supply of goods or performance of services under the contract, including, without limitation, the carrying out of a credit check on you, arranging credit insurance, processing payment by you, enforcing your obligations under the contract and carrying out our own obligations under the contract.
b. We warrant that at the date of delivery the title to the goods sold shall be free of any encumbrances, and the goods shall comply with any specification and standard specified by us in the Contract Documents, subject to section 10 below.
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 9.b. above or any other provision of this Agreement, ANY CONDITION, WARRANTY, STATEMENT OR UNDERTAKING AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES, THEIR MERCHANTABILITY, THEIR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS, HOWEVER OR WHENEVER EXPRESSED OR WHICH MAY BE IMPLIED BY STATUTE, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED, EXCEPT AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH EXCLUSION IS SPECIFICALLY PREVENTED BY LAW. Any technical advice provided by us with respect to the use of goods sold or services performed hereunder shall be for informational purposes only, and we make no representation or warranty, nor assume any obligation or liability for any such advice.
d. Without prejudice to section 9.c. above, no statement or undertaking contained in any national standard, national edition of a CAS standard or ANSI standard, ISO standard, or other standard or technical specification as to the suitability of the goods for any purpose shall give any legal liability to us, except to the extent such exclusion is prevented by law. You shall be solely responsible to satisfy yourself that the goods are suitable for any product or application for which they are to be used before the goods are incorporated into such product or application, and we shall have no liability in this regard.
10. TOLERANCE AND VARIATIONS:
All goods shall be subject to tolerances and variations consistent with usual trade practices and applicable specifications regarding dimensions, straightness, section, composition, and mechanical properties and normal variations in surface and internal conditions and quality and shall also be subject to deviations from tolerances and variations consistent with practical testing and inspection methods.
11. TESTING, INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS AND SERVICES:
a. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents you shall inspect or test all goods upon receipt. You shall be deemed to have accepted the goods and that the goods and services comply with the Contract Documents unless:
i. in the case of a defect in the quality or state of the goods or the goods otherwise not complying with the Contract Documents, which defect or noncompliance was apparent upon careful inspection or reasonable testing of the goods (or would have been had a careful inspection or reasonable test been carried out), you give us a notice specifying such defect or noncompliance within 14 days after receiving the goods and in any event prior to their use or re-sale and, after doing so, give us a reasonable opportunity to inspect or test the goods before they are used or resold; or
ii. in the case of a defect in the quality or state of the goods or the goods otherwise not complying with the Contract Documents, which defect or noncompliance was not apparent upon careful inspection or reasonable testing of the goods (or would not have been had a careful inspection or reasonable test been carried out), you give us notice specifying such defect or non-compliance immediately upon discovering it and in any event not more than 12 months after receiving the goods and, after doing so, you give us a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods. You shall not be excused from providing such opportunity by reason only that the goods have been incorporated into the goods or property of a third party or that the goods are located in, upon or under the premises or land of a third party.
b. Where the Contract Documents provide for testing or inspection of the goods by you or on your behalf before delivery (whether at our site or elsewhere), then you shall inspect and/or test the goods within 7 days of being notified by us that the goods are available for inspection or testing. If you do not inspect or test the goods within the time specified by us in that notice or if within 14 days of such testing or inspection you do not give notice to us stating that, and specifying the reasons why, the goods do not comply with the Contract Documents, then you shall conclusively be deemed to have accepted that the goods comply with the Contract Documents, and subject to section 11.a.(ii) shall not be entitled to reject the goods on the grounds of anything which such inspection or testing has or would have revealed.
c. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents, you shall be deemed to have accepted the services and that the services comply with the Contact Documents unless you provide us with written notice that the services and deliverables as provided by us are unsatisfactory or otherwise do not comply with the Contract Documents, such notice to be given by the earlier of 2 days of the non-compliance coming to your attention or 7 days of the completion of the services.

13. CHANGES:
Changes in specifications or designs relating to any products, changes in delivery schedules or reschedules or cancellations of orders or changes to scope of services are not permitted unless we have accepted same in writing, have determined the additional charge to be made, if any, and the same has been paid by you.

16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:
The undertakings in Section 15. are given in lieu of any other legal remedy you may have (whether in contract, delict, tort or otherwise) and shall be your sole and exclusive remedy in respect of goods or services (or any part of them) being defective in quality or state or otherwise not in compliance with the Contract Documents. Such undertakings do not attach to goods or parts not manufactured by us. We will pass on to you the warranty, if any, we receive from the manufacturer of such goods or part, but only to the extent allowed by such manufacturer. Our aggregate liability to you or anyone claiming through you or on your behalf, with respect to any claim or loss arising out of or relating to any goods or services or alleged to have resulted from any act or omission by us, whether negligent or otherwise, and whether in delict, tort, contract, or otherwise, shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the price received by us for the goods or services with respect to which such liability is claimed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we will have no liability to the extent that the suit is based upon: (i) modifications to any item of the goods made by you or on your behalf in a manner that causes the infringement; (ii) use of any item of the goods in combination with other products that causes the infringement; (iii) your failure to use corrections or enhancements to the goods that are made available by us; (iv) your specifications; (v) your distribution, marketing or use for the benefit of third parties of the goods; or (vi) use not authorized under this Agreement. If the goods or any part thereof are deemed to infringe any such patent, we shall, at our expense and sole option either: procure for you the right to continue using said goods or part; replace them with non-infringing goods or parts; modify them so they become non-infringing; or remove them and refund the purchase price for them depreciated over no more than 3 years.
