Customer Terms & Conditions

1) Applicability; Acceptance of These Terms and Conditions:

a) These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the purchase of conveyor products and designed equipment (the “Products”) by the purchaser (“Customer”) from Fluent Conveyors, LLC (“Fluent”). “Customer” shall include Customer’s owners, members, employees, contractors, agents and guests. These Terms include and incorporate herein the Fluent Limited Warranty (available at Fluent Conveyors Warranty Coverage - Fluent Conveyors); Credit Application; Sales Proposal/Equipment Drawing; Invoice, and Scope of Work Agreement (collectively, the “Sales Agreement”). These Terms and Conditions and the Sales Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”). Customer accepts these Terms by signing and returning Fluent’s quotation, by sending a purchase order in response to the quotation, by executing the Scope of Work Agreement or by Customer’s instructions to Fluent to ship the Product. Customer is hereby notified of Fluent's express rejection of any terms inconsistent with the Agreement or to any other terms proposed by Customer in accepting the Agreement. Neither Fluent's subsequent lack of objection to any terms, nor the delivery of the products or services, shall constitute an agreement by Fluent to any terms other than those set forth in the Agreement. Cancellation or modifications of all or part of any order are subject to Fluent’s prior written consent in each instance.

b) Purchase Through a Dealer: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Products are being purchased through a third party Fluent-authorized dealer (“Dealer”) then the Agreement shall be deemed to be entered into by and between the Customer and the Dealer only and, except for this Section 1.b., all references to “Fluent” herein shall be replaced and superseded by “Dealer.” If Customer has purchased the Products through Dealer, Customer understands and acknowledges that Fluent is designing the Products with the understanding that the Dealer and Customer have the appropriate licenses, training and experience and insurance necessary to safely and legally perform installation and any related customer service. Fluent, shall not be liable and Customer agrees to hold harmless Fluent against any and all damages, costs, expenses and claims related in any way to any property damage, injury, or death related to users and/or installers, of Fluent’s Products, or any other third party, at any time. In addition to this Agreement, Customer may be required to review and sign additional documentation of the sale from Dealer.

2) Purchase Price; Tax; Freight:

a) Purchase Price. Prices in any Sales Agreement from Fluent are subject to change upon notice sent to Customer at any time before the Sales Agreement has been accepted. Prices for Products covered by this Agreement may be adjusted by Fluent, upon notice to Customer at any time prior to shipment, to reflect any increase in Fluent’s cost of raw materials (e.g., steel, aluminum) incurred by Fluent after issuance of the applicable Sales Agreement.

b) Freight. Freight charges will be included as a budgeted line item in any Sales Agreement. Freight charges added to the Invoice may include an amount greater than the freight charges paid to the carrier for handling and administrative expenses, and are not subject to discounts. If the cost of freight increases between the time Customer has accepted the Sales Agreement and the shipping date, Customer shall be responsible for the increase of such costs, which will be added as an overage to the Sales Agreement. In the alternative, in the event of a freight increase, Customer may request in writing a credit for the original budgeted freight costs, and Customer shall be responsible for scheduling its own freight.

c) Taxes. All stated prices are exclusive of any taxes, fees, duties, and levies, however designated or imposed, including but not limited to value-added and withholding taxes that are levied or based upon the amounts paid under this Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”). Any Taxes related to the Products purchased pursuant to this Agreement are the responsibility of Customer, unless Customer presents an exemption certificate acceptable to Fluent and the applicable taxing authorities. If any exemption certificate presented by Customer is held to be invalid, then Customer will pay Fluent the amount of the Tax and any penalties and interest related thereto.

3) Payment Terms: Unless otherwise set forth in the Sales Agreement, Customer will pay all invoiced amounts within the timeframe specified on Fluent’s final invoice (“Invoice”). Unpaid amounts will accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, from due date until paid, plus Fluent’s reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Fluent reserves all other rights granted to a seller under the Uniform Commercial Code for Customer’s failure to pay for the Products or any other breach by Customer of the Agreement. In addition to all other remedies available to Fluent (which Fluent does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder or the failure to exercise any right hereunder), Fluent may suspend the delivery of any Products if Customer fails to pay any amounts when due and the failure continues for five (5) days following Customer’s receipt of notice thereof. Customer may not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable as a set-off of any claim or dispute with Fluent, regardless of whether relating to Fluent’s breach, bankruptcy, or any other cause.

4) Delivery; Shipping:

a) Fluent will deliver the Products within a reasonable time after receiving Customer’s purchase order, subject to availability. The delivery date provided by Fluent for the Products is only an estimate and is reliant upon prompt receipt of all necessary information from Customer. If Customer causes Fluent to delay shipment or completion of the Products, Fluent will be entitled to any and all extra costs and expenses resulting from the delay. Fluent will not be liable for any delays, loss, damage in transit, or failure to deliver within the time estimated and the same will not be a material breach of the Agreement on Fluent’s part.

b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Fluent will deliver the Products FOB from the location of the Products (the “Delivery Location”), using Fluent’s standard methods for packaging and shipping. Risk of loss or damage of the Products will transfer to the Customer as each shipment is placed in the hands of the carrier at the Delivery Location. If the carrier is unable to deliver the Products to the Customer’s specified location because Customer has failed to provide appropriate instructions, documents, licenses, or authorizations, then: (i) risk of loss to the Products will be he deemed to have passed to Customer; (ii) the Products will be deemed to have been delivered to Customer; and (iii) Fluent, at its option, may store the Products until Customer takes possession of them, at which time Customer will be liable for all costs and expenses resulting from the failure of delivery (including but not limited to the cost of storage and insurance). Title passes to Customer upon Customer’s payment in full for the Products.

Fluent is not responsible for installation or regular servicing of Products. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by a Dealer, Customer will be solely responsible and liable for obtaining and maintaining services related to installation and maintenance of any and all Products sold to Customer, whether such installation and maintenance services are performed by Customer or a third-party service provider. Customer shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain a full understanding of the Fluent installation requirements and will be fully responsible for executing these guidelines. Fluent will not honor the Limited Warranty in the event any issues with the Products were the result of faulty installation and/or maintenance.

6) Accuracy of Information: Customer agrees to provide to Fluent complete and fully accurate drawings and specifications for the design and manufacture of the product Customer orders from Fluent. Any risk of liability, loss or damages related to incomplete or inaccurate drawings or specifications shall be born fully by Customer, and Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Fluent, for any liability, loss or damages caused by incomplete or inaccurate drawings or specifications.

7) Claims: The Invoice shall be presumed correct unless the Customer notifies Fluent of any claimed error or deficiency within fourteen (14) days of receipt. Any claim by Customer arising from faulty installation, improper unloading, building structural issues impacting installation, damage caused during unloading or installation, permitting, performance of the installation team or similar issues or damages in any way alleged to be caused by the installation of the Product(s) shall be commenced within thirty (30) days of Customer's receipt of the Products or shall forever be deemed waived and time barred, except as set forth in the Limited Warranty.

8) Limited Warranty: Fluent warrants to Customer that the Products will be subject to a limited warranty as set forth in in Fluent’s Limited Warranty (“Limited Warranty”) (a copy of which has been provided to Customer and is available at Fluent Conveyors Warranty Coverage - Fluent Conveyors).

9) Inspection; Rejection of Products; Remedies:

a) As used in this Agreement, the term “Non-Conforming Products” means only the following: (i) the items shipped are different from those identified in Customer’s purchase order or the Invoice; or (ii) Products that fail to conform to any warranty set forth in the Limited Warranty. Customer will inspect the Products within five (5) days following receipt thereof (the “Inspection Period”). The Products will be deemed accepted at the end of the Inspection Period unless Customer notifies Fluent in writing of any Nonconforming Products and furnishes Fluent with written evidence or other documentation reasonably required by Fluent

b) If Customer timely and properly notifies Fluent of any Nonconforming Products, then Fluent will, in its sole discretion: (i) replace the Nonconforming Products with conforming Products; or (ii) credit or refund the purchase price for the Nonconforming Products, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Customer related thererto. At Fluent’s request, Customer will dispose of the Nonconforming Products or return the Nonconforming Products to Fluent at Fluent’s expense. Upon receipt of the Nonconforming Products, Fluent will promptly refund the monies owed or ship the replacement Products to the Delivery Location at Fluent’s expense, with Fluent retaining the risk of loss until delivery. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this Section 9 are Customer’s sole exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Products, and except as set forth in this Section 9, Customer has no right to return the Products to Fluent without Fluent’s written authorization.
