Product Purchase Terms and Conditions

General

The sale of A.L.P. goods and services is subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Product Terms”), and to any additional terms and conditions not in conflict with them to which an executive officer of A.L.P. expressly agrees in writing. A.L.P. specifically objects to, and rejects, any contrary terms or conditions contained in any purchase order or similar document concerning A.L.P. goods and services. No acknowledgment of a purchase order by A.L.P. constitutes a waiver by A.L.P. of these Product Terms, unless in writing and signed by an executive officer of A.L.P. The provisions of these Product Terms shall constitute a part of any contract for the sale of A.L.P. goods and services.

Delivery and Risk of Loss

All domestic deliveries are F.O.B. plant of manufacture or designated warehouse unless otherwise arranged and agreed in writing by A.L.P. All international deliveries are Ex Work plant of manufacture or designated warehouse unless otherwise arranged. All risk of damage to, or loss or destruction of, goods passes to customer upon such delivery. Delivery of goods may be in a single delivery or installments.

Pricing

Terms are cash-in-advance unless written credit terms are established between A.L.P. and customer. All prices and terms are subject to change without notice unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by A.L.P. Quantity pricing of A.L.P. goods is based on the quantity of goods released for shipment within a 30 day period of time. Orders for A.L.P. goods received and acknowledged will be entitled to pricing per A.L.P.’s published price list for such goods in effect on the date the order is received. A.L.P. reserves the right to change pricing on acknowledged orders with 30 days’ notice. A.L.P. will exercise reasonable efforts to provide customers with notice of revisions to its published applicable price list, but assumes no obligation to do so. Prices quoted on custom goods are open for 30 days from the quotation date and are based on estimated quantities, run rate, part weight, machine and material requirements, and other factors, and are subject to adjustment in A.L.P.’s sole discretion. All claims on collect shipments for damages or shortages in transit must be filed by the customer with the carrier. Although title to all goods passes to customer at shipping point, A.L.P. will submit claims on prepaid shipments, provided the shipment is signed for, damaged, or in the case of concealed damage, A.L.P. is notified within 10 days of receipt of shipment. If goods are damaged by the carrier, customer must refuse delivery or notify A.L.P. in writing immediately, or such shipment shall be deemed accepted.

Inspections

Customer shall have no right to inspect any A.L.P. proprietary goods prior to shipment, and customer must inspect such goods within 10 days after their arrival at Customer’s receiving point. Customer must reject, in writing to A.L.P., any nonconforming proprietary goods within such 10 day period. Failure to so reject will be deemed acceptance of such proprietary goods and, if customer has established credit terms, a final waiver of the right to make any inspection prior to payment for the goods.

Customer shall have the right, at its sole expense, to inspect all shipments of A.L.P. custom goods at A.L.P.’s facility at which such goods are produced prior to shipping to customer. If customer exercises its right to inspect A.L.P. custom goods at A.L.P.’s facility, A.L.P. will provide reasonable assistance for the safety and convenience of the inspectors. Such inspection will be deemed as preliminary only and all goods so inspected will be subject to customer’s right to final inspection at receiving point. Failure to so reject will be deemed acceptance of such proprietary goods and, if customer has established credit terms, a final waiver of the right to make any inspection prior to payment for the goods.

Customer will have the right to inspect any other goods within 10 days after their arrival at the receiving point. Failure to make inspection as set forth in this section and provide A.L.P. with written notice specifying any claimed basis for rejection within the appropriate timeframe will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the goods and, if customer has established credit terms, a final waiver of the right to make any inspection prior to payment for the goods.

In the event Customer accepts any goods that are damaged, and Customer makes a claim to A.L.P. concerning such damage, Customer agrees that it will leave such goods unpacked and otherwise intact for a period of no less than 10 days following the date of written claim, and will make such goods available for inspection by A.L.P. representatives, the motor carrier, and/or a third party logistics provider.

Limited Warranty

A.L.P. warrants, for ninety (90) days from the date of delivery, all A.L.P. goods against material defects in workmanship and material. Defects that fall within customary trade tolerances are not grounds for rejection of the A.L.P. goods or a breach of warranty.

Disclaimers

A.L.P.’S LIABILITY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE REPLACEMENT OR CREDIT FOR THE VALUE OF THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.

A.L.P. MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE FREEDOM OF CUSTOM GOODS FROM CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT BY A THIRD PARTY ARISING FROM TRADEMARK, PATENT, OR OTHER PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SUCH GOODS.

Force Majeure
