Terms and Conditions

1. Applicability. 

(a) These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the sale of all required materials, supplies, articles, goods, products, services and/or other deliverables (“Goods”) constituting the subject matter of the purchase order to which these Terms are attached (the “Order”) by Leisure Time Packaging, Inc., a California corporation dba Earthpack, to whom the Order is addressed (“Seller”), to Buyer of the Goods (“Buyer”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods covered hereby, the terms and conditions of that contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms. 

(b) The Order and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of the Order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. 

2. Acceptance. The Order is not binding on Seller until Seller accepts the Order in writing or starts to perform in accordance with the Order. Buyer may withdraw the Order in writing at any time before it is accepted by Seller. 

3. Delivery. 

(a) The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer’s purchase order. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit. 

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall deliver the Goods to Buyer’s place of business (the “Delivery Point”) using Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping those Goods. Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods on the day that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point. 

(c) Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of the Order. 

(d) If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Seller’s notice that the Goods have been delivered at the Delivery Point, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on that date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered to Buyer; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance). 

4. Non-Delivery. 

(a) The quantity of any installment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller’s place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. 

(b) Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within three (3) business days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received. 

(c) Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or adjusting the invoice respecting such Goods to reflect the actual quantity delivered. 

5. Quantity. Buyer shall not be entitled to object to or reject Goods or any portion of them by reason of a surplus or shortfall in the quantity of Goods set forth in the Order (the “Quantity”) that are delivered by Seller and shall pay for those Goods the price set forth in the Order, adjusted pro rata, so long as the surplus or shortfall is more or less than: 

(a) up to 30% of the Quantity where the Quantity is less than 10,000 items; 

(b) up to 25% of the Quantity where the Quantity is between 10,000 and 24,999 items; 

(c) up to 20% of the Quantity where the Quantity is between 25,000 and 49,999 items; 

(d) up to 15% of the Quantity where the Quantity is between 50,000 and 99,999 items; and 

(e) up to 10% of the Quantity where the Quantity is equal to or more than 100,000 items; 

6. Shipping Terms. Delivery shall be made FOB Delivery Point, unless Buyer and Seller agree otherwise in writing. 

7. Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to Buyer upon delivery of the Goods by Seller to the carrier at the Delivery Point when transported by Seller’s designated carrier; provided, however, if the parties agree that a carrier specified by Buyer will deliver the Goods, then Buyer will take title and bear all risk of loss upon delivery by Seller to the carrier specified by Buyer. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the California Uniform Commercial Code.

9. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods. 

(a) Buyer shall inspect the Goods within three (3) business days of receipt thereof (“Inspection Period”).

(b) If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods and obtains a return authorization number from Seller, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, (i) replace the Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (ii) credit or refund the Price for the Nonconforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller’s facility located at 1692 Deere Avenue, Irvine, California 92606. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Seller’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Delivery Point. 

(c) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 9(b) are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods.

(e) Subject to Section 12(d) and Section 12(d) above, with respect to any Goods during the Warranty Period, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, repair or replace the Goods (or the defective part); no credit or refund of the price of the Goods shall be given.
