ColorArt Terms and Conditions of Sale

This transaction for the sale of goods and/or services (collectively, the “Product”) to buyer (“Customer”) is governed by ColorArt, LLC’s (including its affiliates, collectively “ColorArt”) Standard Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), notwithstanding any provisions submitted by Customer in Customer’s Purchase Order or other request (each an “Order”). Acceptance of Customer’s Order is expressly conditioned on Customer’s consent to these Terms. Further, ColorArt specifically rejects any different or additional terms and conditions in the Order, and neither ColorArt’s performance, or receipt and acceptance of payment, shall constitute an acceptance by ColorArt of any such different or additional terms and conditions. In the event there is a written agreement negotiated and signed by Customer and ColorArt that conflicts with the Terms set forth below, the terms of the written agreement shall control for such specific provisions in conflict.

1. PRODUCT; SPECIFICATIONS. Customer agrees to purchase such Product in accordance with these Terms. ColorArt shall submit an invoice upon shipment of the Product to Customer. ColorArt shall have the sole right to choose the suppliers from whom it purchases supplies and materials to be used in the performance of the Product provided for hereunder. Where applicable, exact duplication of colors of ink, paper and other materials is not guaranteed, but reasonable effort will be made to conform to the specifications provided by Customer. Unless otherwise specified, colors of ink used shall be ColorArt’s regular standard colors. Any change(s) Customer requests ColorArt to make that differ from or is in addition to the original specifications is an alteration. Charges for such alteration(s) shall be billed to Customer at ColorArt’s customary rates. ColorArt reserves the right to refuse to print any matter which, in its judgment, is unlawful, improper or in any way prejudicial to its interests.

2. TERMS OF PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES; INSOLVENCY. Subject to credit approval, payment shall be net cash thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Past due invoices are subject to an interest charge of one and one-half percent (1 ½ %) per month (18% per annum), or the highest permissible rate under the applicable law, whichever is less. Terms of payment shall be subject to change by ColorArt, up to and including the requirement of cash with the Order. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between ColorArt and Customer, payment is due in United States dollars. ColorArt’s acceptance of partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of ColorArt’s right to full payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time and for any reason the financial responsibility of Customer shall become unsatisfactory to ColorArt, in ColorArt’s sole discretion, then ColorArt may require cash or satisfactory security on subsequent shipments or deliveries without impairing the obligation of Customer to take and pay for the quantity of Product ordered.

3. CANCELLATION. ColorArt may suspend or cancel any current or future Order for failure of Customer to comply with the provisions of these Terms or the Order, as applicable, or for failure to pay as agreed, provided such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (or five (5) days for failure to pay as agreed), after written notice of such breach is provided to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall compensate ColorArt for any and all loss, including, without limitation, any invoiced amounts, finished goods, work-in-process, packaging, and the cost of any specially ordered materials and an amount for normal overhead and profit.

COLORART WARRANTS GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PRODUCT, THAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT SHALL MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THE ORDER AS ACCEPTED BY COLORART AND SUBJECT TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

In such event, ColorArt may also cancel, or suspend for a reasonable period of time, any Order due to such force majeure event and, in its sole discretion, allocate its available resources, materials and goods among its customers and for its use in such manner as ColorArt may consider fair and equitable without liability to Customer for failure to deliver any Product to Customer.

9. SPECIALLY ORDERED PAPER OR MATERIALS. If ColorArt purchases paper or other specialty materials, including without limitation packaging, for a specific Customer or job, and such paper or materials are not used within forty-five (45) days of the receipt of the paper or materials by ColorArt, ColorArt may invoice the Customer for such paper or materials.
