FAP has no liability for claims that may arise from modification and installation of product. Customer is responsible for the proper care and handling from the time the product is received. Improper storage and handling will void product Warranty.

Order Process

A detailed quote and drawing, when applicable, will be submitted for customer approval based upon the information provided. An Authorized signature and deposit are required to confirm the quote to an order and receive a ship date. At the time of confirmation, the customer approves all quantities, dimensions and patterns and is responsible for any changes thereafter. Any changes will require an updated quotation and drawing, when applicable, approval and may incur a redesign fee. Orders are considered accepted after receipt of all signed documentation and receipt of deposit. FAP products are made to order and therefore we cannot accept cancellations or returns unless agreed to in writing by an authorized agent of FAP. The material deposit is non-refundable even in the event of an approved cancellation. FAP does not sign and accept terms of purchase orders and/or contracts by customers.

Purchase Orders

Buyer shall submit purchase orders to FAP in writing, stating, at a minimum: (a) identification of the Products ordered, including dimensions subject to estimates, as designated in FAP published price list(s); (b) quantity of Products, as specified in FAP published price list(s); (c) requested date of delivery of Products; and (d) shipping instructions and shipping address. Buyer shall ensure that its Purchase Orders are received by FAP at least thirty (30) days prior to the shipping date(s) requested in the purchase order. All purchase orders are irrevocable upon acceptance by FAP unless a written notice of revocation is received by Seller prior to the time of such acceptance. An accepted purchase order may not be modified or canceled by Buyer, except as provided herein. Buyer acknowledges that the standard dimensions of FAP products as published in price lists are nominal. By submitting a purchase order, Buyer confirms notice of such estimates and takes sole responsibility for providing detailed specifications in the purchase order, as necessary and appropriate for Buyer’s own requirements.

Pricing

All published prices quoted by FAP or by our sales representatives are in US dollars and are valid for 30 days from time of quotation. Changes to dimensions, quantities and patterns will result in a price adjustment and nullify the original price quote. All prices are subject to change on account of specifications, quantities, shipment arrangements or any other terms and conditions, which are not part of the original price quotation. All prices are subject to change at any time. All freight quotes are subject to the actual freight cost and can change at any time.

Risk of Loss

Prices are Freight on Board manufacturing facility. All transportation insurance, customs duty and other charges are the responsibility of Buyer. Any shipping arrangements made by FAP with carriers or forwarding agents, at Buyer’s request or otherwise, including delivery to Buyer’s consolidating warehouse, shall be made solely on Buyer’s behalf and at Buyer’s sole cost and risk of loss and damage.

Claims for breakage, damage, loss in transit and delay in delivery must be made to the carrier by the Buyer if shipping on Buyers account. Buyer must notify the delivering carrier of such claims immediately upon delivery so that inspection may be made to substantiate Buyer’s claim against the carrier.

Payment Terms

Payments will be made by Bank wire transfer or check. If a credit line has been accepted, payment will be made by Bank check at no greater than 10-day Terms. For Custom orders (by dimension, design, or otherwise non-standard product), FAP can request deposit payment at the time order is confirmed with the balance due prior to shipment, or request full payment upon receipt of goods. If the customer has a balance due on an account, FAP reserves the right to suspend shipment until all outstanding balances are cleared prior to delivery. Buyer agrees to the seller to pay the agreed purchase price and all applicable taxes, fees, and shipping charges set forth in the customer quotation. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure production of orders. The remaining balance is due prior to order being shipped unless otherwise agreed upon. All orders paid for using credit card will be subject to a 4% transaction fee applied at the time of purchase. Because all orders are made to order no cancellations will be accepted after time of deposit. Finished orders that exceed 90 days without final payment will be deemed abandoned, deposit will be forfeited and order destroyed without notice. If at any time, final payment for product is not made and it becomes necessary for FAP to incur cost of collection or suit to collect final balance, Customer agrees to all such costs.

Cost of Collection

In the event Buyer shall default in its obligations hereunder, Buyer shall be liable for FAP costs of collection, including attorney’s fees, disbursements and court costs.

Cancellation by Fuller Architectural Panels

If FAP believes in good faith that Buyer’s ability to make payment required by these Terms and Conditions is or may become impaired, FAP may in its sole discretion refuse to execute the order or any part thereof, Buyer remaining liable to pay for any Products already shipped.

Claims

Immediately upon delivery, Buyer must open crate and thoroughly inspect goods for product accuracy, shortages, damage, and defects prior to signing the bill of lading. This must occur regardless of any visible signs of external damage to the crating material. “Hidden” damage due to improper stacking of freight and mishandling of the freight may occur during the shipping process. This is Freight Damage and NOT the responsibility of the Seller. If damage is found, Buyer MUST sign for the freight as DAMAGED on delivery receipt and driver must acknowledge that Buyer is signing for damaged freight. Buyer should immediately notify Seller of damage or shortage. Buyer must submit copy of delivery receipt noting damage or shortages and pictures of any crate damage and product damage. Buyer may also choose to refuse shipment due to damaged freight. Buyers refusal of damaged freight does not release buyer or seller of the contract. Buyer will be responsible for costs associated with replacing the damaged product. It is the responsibility of the buyer to file any and all freight claims resulting from this process. Seller has no liability after the products are shipped from Sellers production facilities.
