  2. Unless otherwise stated on the Order Form, the delivery dates specified are estimates only and shall not be binding on Timpte unless approved in a written amendment conforming to the requirements of Paragraph 1 above. Timpte shall not be liable for any damage or loss to Customer resulting from delays caused by inability of Timpte to procure materials or merchandise, from delays caused by strikes, fires, acts of God, governmental action or regulation, or from other causes beyond the control of Timpte. Timpte shall have the additional right, in the event of the happening of any of the aforementioned contingencies, at its option, to cancel this contract or any part hereof without any resulting liability to Customer.
  3. Timpte shall not be responsible for and Customer agrees to assume all risk of loss for its motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers, or the contents thereof left with Timpte and caused by fire, theft, or other casualty not caused by Timpte’s gross negligence.

  4. Timpte reserves the right to make delivery installments. In such event, all installments shall be separately invoiced, and payment shall be due on delivery, without regard to past or future deliveries. The late delivery of any installment shall not relieve Customer from its obligation to accept future deliveries. If Customer does not fulfill its obligations hereunder, or if its credit or financial responsibility becomes impaired, as Timpte determines, at its sole discretion, Timpte may (a) refuse to make further deliveries until Customer fulfills its obligations or corrects such impairment or (b) terminate this contract and take any and all action provided for under this Order or otherwise available at law or equity.
  5. Unless Timpte (i) notifies Customer that full or partial payment is due in advance or within a shorter period of time, or (ii) agrees in writing to other terms, with or without interest, as specified by Timpte, payment shall be due in full without offset as follows: for articles invoiced from the 1st through the 15th of the month, payment is due by the 20th of the following month, Net 20th Prox; for articles invoiced from the 16th through the 31st of the month, payment is due by the 5th of the month that follows the subsequent month, Net Second 5th.

Freight prices quoted in the Order Form are based on the freight rates in existence at the date of the Order, and any changes in freight rates in effect on shipment date shall result in a corresponding change in price for which Customer is responsible. Customer shall pay switching and transportation charges in addition to actual freight.
  7. Customer shall pay any and all present or future sales, use, and similar taxes on all articles furnished pursuant to the Order in addition to the price herein specified.
