In the event of failure of delivery on the delivery date, Buyer will give Seller written notice of delinquency allowing Seller a reasonable time to cure. In no event will Seller be considered in default of its obligation under this Agreement to deliver until thirty (30) days after the notice. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular order placed pursuant to this Agreement, risk of any loss of or damage to the products passes from Seller to Buyer when they leave Seller’s facility, except for loss or damage from Seller’s fault or negligence or failure to comply with an order.

Buyer agrees that diversion of the goods that are the subject of this transaction from the destinations identified in Buyer’s Purchase Order constitutes a fundamental and material breach of this Agreement.

In the event of a breach, Buyer is liable to Seller for all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the recovery of the goods, including reasonable attorney’s fees. This provision may not be waived except in writing signed by Seller.

INSPECTION.
Seller must inspect and test all products prior to shipment to Buyer. Notwithstanding any prior payment
or inspection by Buyer, all products are subject to final inspection and acceptance by Buyer at Buyer’s place of business as identified on the purchase order, or in accordance with quality control standards to be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller. Final inspection and acceptance or rejection will be made by Buyer within three (3) business days after receipt of products, and failure of Buyer to reject any product within three (3) business days after receipt constitutes acceptance. Should Buyer reject any product for failure to conform to the requirements of an order, Buyer must notify Seller of the rejection, giving detailed reasons for the rejection. Seller then has the option to refund payments already made by Buyer attended with cancellation of the order, or repair or replace the nonconforming product within ninety (90) days at Buyer’s or Seller’s facility. Rejected items to be returned to Seller must be shipped at Buyer’s expense. Seller will refund those expenses if rejection is based on failure of Seller.

Buyer will render necessary assistance to Seller and furnish adequate means for operating and testing the goods. Should the goods prove defective and the defect is not remedied, the particular part, attachment, or article that fails to conform to the warranty of this Agreement must be returned by Buyer in as good a condition as received, except for ordinary wear and tear, to the place where it was received. Buyer must immediately notify Seller of the return by registered mail addressed to www.hotyogasupply.com, a division of Cavalry Services Inc. 1120 Moosic St Scranton PA 18505, and Seller may then, at the option of Seller, either replace the goods or rescind this Agreement so far as the goods are concerned. If any goods are returned by Buyer and the returned goods are not replaced by Seller, then Seller will refund to Buyer any money, notes, or property paid or given for the goods, or Seller must credit the account of Buyer, in a like amount, and no further claim for the defect can be made against Seller.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, transportation costs of returning defective Seller’s products to Seller’s facilities must be borne by Seller and transportation costs of returning the products to buyer must be borne by Seller.
