Terms & Conditions
Effective: January 1, 2018
JBMbio provides the following Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms and Conditions”), which apply to all quotations and sales made by JBMbio.
1. TIME LIMIT. All quotations are valid for a period of 30 days, unless otherwise specified.
2. SHIPMENT. All orders will be shipped FOB at the shipping point indicated on the invoice using a carrier approved by JBMbio. Unless otherwise indicated on the invoice, the shipping cost will be prepaid by JBMbio and added to the amount of the invoice.
3. PAYMENT TERMS. For customers with established credit, all payments are due net 30 days from date of invoice, unless otherwise specified in the invoice. Customer’s failure to make payment when due will be a material breach of these Terms and Conditions.
All invoices not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of (i) the maximum interest rate permitted by law and (ii) 1.5% per month until paid in full. Payments for all export shipments will be made by prepaid electronic wire transmission or credit card.
Customers without established credit can pay for merchandise via credit card at the time of ordering. JBMbio assesses a convenience fee surcharge to all purchases made with MasterCard, Visa, Discover or other credit cards in accordance with Michigan law.
4. SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE; COLLECTION. JBMbio shall have the sole right of credit approval or credit refusal for its Customers in all cases. JBMbio’s current credit policy is to place a Customer on credit hold and to cease further shipments to Customer if an invoice has not been paid within 60 days, at which time JBMbio will send a warning letter to Customer, with a copy to Sales Representative. Any balance remaining outstanding at 90 days will be sent to collections. JBMbio reserves the right to alter such policies at its discretion. If in JBMbio’s judgment, Customer’s financial position does not justify the terms of payment specified, JBMbio may require full or partial payment prior to shipment of the goods. Customer agrees to furnish JBMbio with the requested credit information. Customer agrees to pay reasonable attorney fees to JBMbio in the event suit is necessary to collect on account of nonpayment of the bill for material and/or services.
5. TAXES. Federal, state, or local indirect taxes, including without limitation sales and/or use taxes, VAT taxes, GST taxes, transfer taxes or any similar tax are not included in the quoted price for the products, will be separately set forth in the invoice and will be paid by Customer. Customer will provide JBMbio with all applicable reseller exemption certificates.
6. WARRANTY. JBMbio warrants only that all goods manufactured by JBMbio shall be free from defects in material and workmanship; provided, however, that this warranty shall be limited to goods found to be defective within a period of 30 days from the date of shipment (“Warranty Period”).
Resale products shall carry only the warranty offered by the original manufacturer and no warranty by JBMbio.
The Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any liability of JBMbio of any kind, including (a) warranty, express or implied, whether contained in these Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, or in any terms additional or supplemental hereto, (b) contract, (c) negligence, (d) tort, or (e) otherwise, is limited to the repair or replacement by JBMbio of those goods which an examination by JBMbio reveals to be defective during the Warranty Period, or at JBMbio’s option to refund to Customer the money paid to JBMbio for such goods.
JBMbio will have no obligation to remedy defects unless, within the Warranty Period, Customer gives JBMbio written notice of its claim. In no event shall JBMbio incur any obligation to repair or replace goods that are determined by JBMbio to be defective due to Customer misuse, or due to use not in accordance with applicable labeling.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY STATED HEREIN, JBMbio DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
The return of goods that are subject to warranty claims is subject to the terms of Section 11 of these Terms and Conditions.
7. DELIVERIES. The delivery date(s) quoted are based on JBMbio’s best estimate of a realistic time when delivery to the carrier will be made, and are subject to confirmation at time of acceptance of any resulting order. JBMbio reserves the right to make either early shipment or partial shipments and to invoice Customer accordingly.
8. EXCUSABLE DELAYS. JBMbio shall not be liable for loss, damages, detention, or delays resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control or caused by but not limited to strikes, restrictions of the United States Government or other governments having jurisdiction, delays in transportation, inability to obtain necessary labor, materials, or manufacturing facilities, or any other cause reasonably beyond its control, whether similar or dissimilar to those listed.
9. INSTALLATION/SERVICE. Customer will install any products requiring installation, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
10. CANCELLATION. Cancellation of any order must be by written notice to JBMbio and will be subject to cancellation charges, which will include all expenses incurred by JBMbio and a reasonable profit on the sale.
11. RETURNS. Customer has 15 days from the date of sale to request a return. Product must be in new re-sellable condition. If product is dirty, damaged or otherwise in less than new condition it will not be approved for return. See our full Return Policy.
Chemical products that have been opened are not eligible for return. Product cannot be past its expiration date or older than 12 months whichever is applicable.
12. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. JBMbio WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER ARISING UNDER WARRANTY, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OR COMBINATION OF CAUSES WHATSOEVER. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. In no case will JBMbio’s liability exceed the amount paid to JBMbio by Customer for the specific goods giving rise to such liability.
13. EXPORT SALES. JBMbio will not export or deliver any products, technical information, data, and/or equipment outside of the United States of America, if such export or delivery is then prohibited or restricted by any law or regulation of the federal government of the United States of America.
