The quote, order acknowledgment and/or invoice of RWB attached to these Terms, together with these Terms, other specifications for the Products and any packing slip of RWB comprise the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Products (the “Contract”). In the event of conflict between a provision in the Terms and any other component of the Contract, these Terms shall prevail. This Contract supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral between the parties with respect to the purchase of Products. No additional or different terms will be binding upon RWB unless specifically agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of RWB. Any additional or different terms proposed by Buyer, either previously or in the future, whether in a purchase order, other communication or otherwise, are hereby rejected and shall not apply. RWB’s failure to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from Buyer shall not be construed as a waiver of these Terms nor an acceptance of any such provisions. RWB is not bound by any order until it is either accepted in writing by an authorized representative of RWB or RWB ships the Products, whichever occurs first.
  2. Order Placement and Processing:
    a) No order will be deemed accepted by RWB until such time as the credit department approves the order, and the order is processed and shipped from RWB Distribution Center.
    b) All orders must be submitted in writing via fax, e-mail, phone call or through our websites.
    c) All orders requesting expedited shipping/freight, including but not limited to Air Freight, Next Day, 2-day, and 3-day, must be submitted to RWB Sales, and confirmed that the item is available by 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, to be processed and shipped the same day. All expedited shipping orders confirmed after 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time will be shipped the next business day.
    d) RWB acceptance of Buyer’s order is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s unconditional assent to these Terms in lieu of any terms and conditions in Buyer’s order or in any other Buyer communication. For orders placed through our websites, these Terms shall prevail over any conflicting terms set forth on the websites. RWB hereby rejects any terms or conditions in Buyer’s order or in any other communication that conflict with or that purport to add to or modify these Terms. All such contrary terms and conditions will be deemed stricken and will be null and of no effect.
    e) RWB may at any time, or from time to time, change or substitute reasonably similar materials. Such changes will be valid if they are of reasonably similar quality to the substituted goods. Buyer may by written notice, request changes. Acceptance of any such change must be in writing by RWB. If such acceptance results in an increase or decrease of the cost of, or time required for, performance of an order, an equitable adjustment will be made by RWB and evidenced by a written amendment to an order.
  3. Delivery; Title: RWB does not guarantee delivery on any specific date and RWB will not be liable for any damages caused by a delay in a projected or estimated delivery date. The Products are delivered FOB shipping point, using RWB’s standard methods for packaging and shipping any Products. Acceptance of a shipment by a common carrier constitutes delivery to Buyer, at which time all risk of loss transfers to Buyer. RWB may choose the means of transportation and the route of shipments unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to acceptance of an order. Delivery or tender of all or part of the goods in an order on or before the date specified as the complete delivery date shall constitute timely delivery. Therefore, any delivery shall be valid unless prior thereto RWB receives written notice of cancellation by certified mail.
  4. Shortages: The Buyer must make any claim for shortages and other errors in delivery in writing to RWB within five (5) days after receipt of the Products. Failure to give such notice constitutes an unqualified acceptance of the Products and a waiver of any claim Buyer may have regarding the delivery. RWB reserves the right to make delivery in installments. Any installments will be separately invoiced and paid for when due, as set forth on the invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries. No deduction should be made, nor will one be allowed, until a credit memo for claimed shortages is issued by RWB. Only then should deduction be taken in the month following issuance of our credit memo. Failure to follow this procedure may result in account being put on hold, or loss of discount.
  5. Cancellation. The Buyer may not cancel an order after it is accepted by RWB, unless RWB agrees in writing. Any reduction in quantities ordered constitutes a cancellation. In the event RWB agrees to a cancellation, Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses (including indirect expenses) directly or indirectly caused by Buyer’s cancellation.
