Terms and Conditions of Sale

Sales Policy

Wholesale Only

Machine Vision Store ("MVS") sells products for business use to customers with proper business identification, which is required from all customers prior to delivery.

Prices

Prices listed are wholesale, do not include freight, handling fees, taxes, and/or duties, and are subject to correction or change without notice. All prices are in U.S. dollars. Customer should contact MVS or check online at MachineVisionStore.com for current pricing. Export orders may be subject to other special pricing. MVS reserves the right to accept or reject any order.

Payment and Credit Terms

MVS accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal via our online merchant services provider. For customers with established MVS credit, we accept company checks and money orders, and payment terms are net thirty (30) days from the date of shipment or pick-up. All credit extended by MVS to customer, and the limits of such credit, is at MVS’s sole discretion, and may be reduced or revoked by MVS at any time, for any reason. MVS reserves the right to charge a convenience fee for late payments. MVS further reserves the right to charge customer a late payment fee at the rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the amount due for each month or portion thereof that the amount due remains unpaid, or such amount as may be permitted under applicable law. Anticipation and cash discounts are not allowed. Export orders are subject to special export payment terms and conditions. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars. MVS shall have the right of set-off and deduct for any sums owed by customer to MVS.

If customer fails to make payment within thirty (30) days of shipment or pick-up, or fails to comply with MVS’s credit terms, or fails to supply adequate assurance of full performance to MVS within a reasonable time after requested by MVS (such time as specified in MVS’s request), MVS may defer shipments until such payment or compliance is made, require cash in advance for any further shipments, demand immediate payment of all amounts then owed, elect to pursue collection action (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and any and all other associated costs of collection), and/or may, at its option, cancel all or any part of an unshipped order.

Customer agrees to assume responsibility for, and customer hereby unconditionally guarantees payment of, as provided herein, all purchases made by customer, its subsidiaries and affiliates. Each of customer’s subsidiaries and affiliates purchasing from MVS will be jointly and severally liable for purchases with customer, and customer is also acting as agent for such subsidiaries and affiliates.

Shipments requiring pre-payment (for customers without sufficient credit approved by MVS) will be invoiced in full prior to the anticipated ship date. Failure to promptly pay the invoice in full will hold back shipment of the order. Failure to pay in full within 15 days after the order was ready to ship is a serious breach of contract and may result in legal action to compensate MVS for all associated costs, including but not limited to inventory carrying costs, losses due to inventory liquidation, and associated legal fees. Furthermore, MVS may, at its sole discretion, cancel all unfulfilled orders and shipments.

Security Interest

Customer hereby grants to MVS a first priority purchase money security interest and/or chattel mortgage in the products and any accounts receivable or cash from resale thereof until full payment is made to MVS. Customer agrees to file, or permit MVS to file, any financing statements or other appropriate documents with its governmental authorities to perfect the validity, priority, and enforceability of MVS's lien or security interest.

Credit Balance

Customer agrees that any credit balance(s) issued by MVS will be applied to customer’s account within one (1) year of its issuance. IF CUSTOMER HAS NOT REQUESTED THE CREDIT BALANCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR, ANY REMAINING CREDIT BALANCE WILL BE CANCELLED, AND MVS SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER LIABILITY.

Freight Policy

Domestic Orders

Orders shipping to an address within one of the 50 states of the United States are defined as "Domestic Orders". For Domestic Orders, prices stated are F.O.B. origin, freight prepaid to destination specified in the order. MVS charges a shipping and handling fee, (which includes internal handling and related costs), on each order which is applied at time of order and reflected on customer's invoice. Receipts for shipping and handling charges will not be furnished. Other terms and conditions may apply for other than standard ground delivery ("Other Freight Services"), including without limitation, expedited same day delivery, air freight, freight collect, hazardous materials, customer's carrier, or other special handling by the carrier. Any charges incurred for Other Freight Services must be paid by customer. Fuel surcharges may be applied.

International Orders

International orders include all orders that are not Domestic Orders. For international orders, prices stated are F.C.A our warehouse per Incoterms 2010. Any and all costs for freight, handling, tarrifs, taxes, duties, customs clearance, storage, and surcharges shall be paid by the customer. The customer may choose to provide to MVS their own freight account number such that a freight company may bill the customer directly. If MVS chooses to make shipping arrangements on the customer's behalf using the customer's freight account number, it shall not change the terms and conditions of sale, and the customer shall remain responsible for all costs described in this paragraph.

All Orders

For all shipments, regardless of destination, title and risk of loss pass to customer upon tender of shipment to the carrier. If the product is damaged in transit, customer's only recourse is to file a claim with the carrier. COD shipments are not permitted.
