SELLER agrees to manufacture, service and/or sell, and the buyer (“Buyer”) agrees to buy, the Products or services (as defined below) consistent with these terms and conditions which you agree constitutes a binding sales agreement between SELLER and Buyer (this “Agreement”). SELLER and Buyer are referred to herein as each a “Party,” and collectively, the “Parties.” This Agreement shall further include and incorporate any Sales Invoice, Acknowledgment Order issued by SELLER to Buyer regarding the sale of the Products and/or Services. The Buyer is entirely responsible for determining whether the product and/or services specification is suitable to fully conform with ALL HEALTH AND SAFETY CODES AND CONCERNS applicable to its use. Further, ALL DESIGN & PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS remain the Buyer’s entire responsibility even when SELLER provides any information or design assistance. ANNEALED, HEAT-STRENGTHENED, CHEMICALLY STRENGTHENED glasses are NOT SAFETY GLAZING PRODUCTS, and must NEVER be used in those instances where an appropriately certified TEMPERED or LAMINATED glass is required by law, thermal or mechanical load conditions, classification society requirement or applicable codes. THE COMPLETE TERMS AN CONDITIONS OF OUR PRODUCT WARRANT STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE BY WRITTEN REQUEST.

These Terms and Conditions are not an invitation to negotiate. Rather, Buyer agrees that the SELLER’s Terms and Conditions shall apply without reservation to (i) all quotations and offers to sell by SELLER and/or (ii) any acceptance by SELLER of any proposal to purchase or purchase order of Buyer (a “Purchase Order”) for the goods and services sold here under (the “Products”). When the Buyer approves the commencement of work through its action including payment in full or part for such goods or services, then preparation for performance of work by Seller under the Sign estimate shall also constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions by the Buyer. By purchaser signing the estimate, purchaser specifically is bound and agrees to these complete terms and conditions as well as the concise terms and conditions attached to the estimate.
Buyer Acceptance. Buyer accepts this Agreement by (whichever comes first): (a) communicating to SELLER its decision to purchase the Products and/or service/s; (b) delivering a Purchase Order for the Products with quantities and estimated delivery dates acceptable to SELLER; (c) accepting delivery of the Products; or (d) Making a deposit or paying any portion of the price for the Products and/or Services as set forth in the quote and/or subsequent Invoice (as defined below). Buyer agrees that any Purchase Order by or from Buyer is for Buyer’s administrative purposes only and that Buyer disclaims any terms and conditions related to that Purchase Order that Buyer agree shall be null and void in their entirety. No course of prior dealings between the Parties and no usage of trade will be relevant to determine the meaning of these Terms and Conditions. If this Agreement is responsive to a prior offer to purchase in any format from Buyer, and the sale of the Products is accepted by Buyer in any manner set forth above, then Buyer agrees that this Agreement shall be deemed an acceptance of such offer limited exclusively to the material terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, and any additional or supplemental terms or any material variance from the terms and conditions of this Agreement are expressly objected to and rejected. Any non-material variance from the terms of this Agreement proposed by Buyer shall not operate as a rejection of this Agreement, and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. Buyer remains obligated to pay for products and/or services in production and not shipped or complete if Buyer for whatever reason cancels, suspends, or in any way notifies SELLER that a change shall occur relative to the delivery of products ordered. Buyer understands and agrees that all monies paid shall be for work and/or services already performed.
SELLER shall manufacture the Products or provide the services in accordance with mutually agreed upon written specifications of Buyer (the “Specifications”), pursuant to acceptable orders placed by Buyer under this Agreement and as set forth in and attached to SELLER’s Estimate. Buyer grants SELLER the right to use the Specifications for such purpose. The Specifications shall not be changed or altered without written notification to and approval by SELLER. SELLER makes no warranty or representation or guaranty of the Specifications as a result of the delivery of any sample, prototype, product information sheet, sale or marketing material, custom, trade practice, or statement by a representative of either Party. Buyer warrants, that the use of the Specifications will not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, contractual, employment, proprietary or confidential information or nondisclosure, or other proprietary rights of any third party. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless SELLER and its affiliates from and against any and all losses, without limitation based upon, relating to or arising out of a claim that the manufacture of the Products using the Specifications infringes any United States or foreign patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. All estimates of expected operational lifetime referenced in any of the Specifications is provided for informational purposes only and SELLER provides no warranty or guaranty that any goods so provided will conform to such statistical, reliability or operational data.
Product Pricing. Prices for the Products and/or Services are described on SELLER’s price Estimate/Pro-Forma Invoice, and are effective for the period set forth on the Estimate. Thereafter, prices are subject to change with notice to Buyer. All prices set forth on the price estimate exclude sales tax, and therefore such prices are subject to increase in the amount of any such tax that SELLER may be required to collect or pay upon the sale or delivery of the Products and/or Services.
Responsibility of Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Buyer or their designated representative, in consultation with an independent installation professional of their choosing, to determine and approve Frame and/or glass of a specification(s) suitable to meet all factors relevant to their particular use or application. Glass specification(s) include, but are not limited to, product kind, appropriate certifications, glass thickness, caulk, glue, installation techniques, color, coating & surface or primary manufacturer brand (and condition, type, class, style, form, quality, finish, and pattern as applicable), fabrication such as shape cuts, sandblasting, etching, ceramic frit or other spray applied coatings, holes, notches, cutouts, and edge finish, size and shape dimensions; in the case of laminated product; the overall thickness and assembly of component glass products with the interlayer type color and thickness; in the case of insulating product, the overall thickness and assembly of component glass products with spacer and sealant type color thickness and profile and sealed space gas. Factors requiring careful consideration include the local state and national laws, mechanical and thermal loading, classification society design requirements, applicable codes, aesthetics and functionality, framing or mounting systems, compatible glazing materials, glue, caulking installation techniques, tolerances and expansion, breakage or failure scenarios, appropriate safety & health practices, conformance requirements, as well as the reflectance, absorption, and transmission of energy including sound, visible light, heat, and ultraviolet rays.
Supply of Materials. It is understood that SELLER is supplying the materials only to manufacture the Products and as such SELLER has not engineered, designed or replaced Buyer’s responsibility to provide for the Specifications. Regardless of whether SELLER provides technical or general technical or mechanical properties for the Products, the responsibility for ordering and specifying the Specifications of the Products rests entirely on and at all times with Buyer. At no time shall SELLER be obligated, either by way of verbal and/or written communications in any manner, whether by fax, email, all offers, quotations, order confirmations or correspondence such as quality assurance documents, international product standards, manufacturer component documents, engineered performance values, 3d and 2d drawing documents, window schedules, construction drawings, engineering drawing, and designer/architectural details with either a direct reference or indirect reference to Buyer’s intended or apparent needs from SELLER, to any additional terms, conditions, product performance and design, unique features and/or behavior that is beyond the Specifications.
Buyer Supplied Materials, templates, glass and other materials. While care is exercised to preserve and protect Buyer’s supplied material, SELLER will accept NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOSS OR DAMAGE OF PATTERNS, TEMPLATES, MOLDS, GLASS, OR OTHER MATERIAL sent to our facility by, or on behalf of, a Buyer. All such material sent to us for whatever reason will be discarded after one year at our option if Buyer fails to seek return of any of these items.
Appearance-Color and Coating. Glass of the same generic color and coating may vary in appearance and performance between brands of each primary glass manufacturer. In cases where continuity is desirable, all glass should be coordinated to be made from the same primary glass brand. In addition, small perceptible differences can exist between different runs of the same brand and thickness when compared in close proximity with parallel reflections. The different sky reflections of flat and curved surfaces make differences difficult to perceive from the exterior between bent curved glass and flat glass each made from a single unique run. However, it is still the responsibility of the customer to create and compare full-size glass mock-ups in all cases where continuity is critical. Additional information on appearance and performance may be obtained from the primary glass manufacturers.
ALL AGREEMENTS by SELLER are contingent upon strikes, accidents, equipment, raw materials or any other causes beyond SELLER’s control.
Handling, Frames & Glass Storage. It is the responsibility of the customer to AVOID IMPROPER STORAGE, HANDLING, OR INSTALLATION that may irreversibly disfigure or damage glass and/or frames after its fabrication at SELLER. Do not allow the glass and frames to be disfigured by exposure to moisture, standing water, incompatible glazing materials or cleaning fluids, temperatures above 800F where there is high humidity and little or no air movement. Building runoff, insulation, paints, adhesives, acids, alkaline, chemicals, solvents or their fumes will permanently damage glass and frames. In the case of laminated glass, delamination occurs when the interlayer is exposed to moisture and incompatible materials. Ensure that any storage of glass is always in a DRY temperature controlled environment preferably indoors for best results. Abrasive or sharp objects, windborne debris, grinding or welding sparks will permanently damage the glass surface. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION is available through glass industry professional associations such as GANA (Glass Association of North America)
Installation Service. Consult a professional engineer before ordering any of SELLER’s Products to address installation methods, frames and/or glass design, specifications, compatible materials, and framing systems. Be advised that laminated and insulated products that are used with other products can result in product failure that is not recoverable under any applicable warranties offered by SELLER. Be further advised that altering or attempting to repair the original Product supplied will void any applicable warranty and any claims made. Buyer assumes all responsibility for testing compatibility between various materials supplied.
Installation-Framing and Mounting Systems. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure all framing or mounting systems firmly support each glass piece, adequately drain water and repel moisture, contact only via a cushioned surface, and prevent binding caused by expansion, contraction, flexure, or movement. If holes or notches are in the glass, protect by using bushings, sleeves that have a low durometer Shore A hardness under 60. In systems where glass is used as a structural material, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure adequate contingency planning exists to preserve safety and structural integrity in the event of glass breakage or failure.
Payment Terms. Payment terms for the sale of the Products are 50/65/75/100% deposit prior to start of production with Balance paid prior to shipment. Additional terms may be available upon request. Buyer shall make payment on the Invoice regardless of whether Buyer has inspected the Products. Buyer agrees to pay the amount on the Invoice for the Products pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. SELLER may cancel or reschedule deliveries of to-be shipped Products if Buyer fails to make any payment when due. Unless otherwise agreed, SELLER’s prices are quoted, and the Invoice shall be paid by Buyer in, U.S. currency. Buyer shall have no right of set-off or deduction for allegedly non-conforming, defective or damaged Products without the prior written approval of SELLER. Buyer shall be liable for all expenses attendant to collection of past due amounts, including all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In the event the Buyer cancels, suspends, or puts its order on hold for any reason, Buyer agrees that it will pay when invoiced under the terms of its Estimate/Agreement of Sale for partially produced product and understands and agrees that shipped or fulfillment of specifications for this order is not required when Buyer notified SELLER that such change shall occur to impact the delivery requirements of the original agreement.
Any tax or related charge that SELLER shall be required to pay to or collect for any government in connection with the sale of the Products and/or services, including, without limitation sales tax or use tax will be billed to Buyer by an Invoice and paid by Buyer. Buyer shall pay all applicable taxes, as set forth herein, and remains liable for the payment whether collected or not by SELLER. Any manufacturer’s tax, retailer’s occupation tax, sales tax, excise tax, duty, custom inspection or testing fee, or other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever, imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental authority or agency, on or measured by any transaction between SELLER and Buyer, will be paid by Buyer in addition to the prices quoted and/or invoiced by SELLER. In the event SELLER is required to pay any such tax, fee or charge, together with any additional costs (fines, penalties, all costs of representation and preparation for presentation and defense of these claims), SELLER will invoice Buyer and Buyer agrees to reimburse SELLER, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. In lieu of such payment, Buyer will provide SELLER within fifteen (15) days of demand, an exemption certification or other document that SELLER deems, in its reasonable discretion, is acceptable to the governmental authority or agency imposing any such tax that SELLER is relieved of that obligation.
Termination/Change/Cancellation. SELLER may terminate this Agreement or orders placed hereunder with notice to Buyer if: (a) Buyer fails to pay any sums payable hereunder when due and such failure continues for 10 days after the due date without any notice being necessary from SELLER; (b) Buyer materially breaches its obligations hereunder, other than the payment of money, and such breach continues for a period of 20 days after receipt by Buyer of written notice from SELLER specifying such breach; or (c) any development work required hereunder is determined by SELLER to be financially or technically inadvisable to proceed with, as determined by SELLER in its sole discretion. Buyer may not terminate, suspend performance, reschedule or cancel delivery or issue a “hold” order under this Agreement in whole or in part, without SELLER’s prior written consent and upon terms that will compensate SELLER for any loss or damage resulting from such action, as determined by SELLER in its reasonable discretion. If (i) SELLER terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section, (ii) Buyer cancels all or any part of any order for Products and/or services prior to the shipment of such Products, or (iii) Buyer fails to comply with any material obligation hereunder, including failure or refusal to make timely payments, causing SELLER to cancel any order or portion thereof for Products, then Buyer shall pay SELLER (i) all amounts due for the Products ordered and manufactured prior to the effective date of termination or cancellation, as determined by SELLER in its reasonable discretion, and (ii) the price of services already performed and materials already purchased, and for work in process, incurred costs and a reasonable allocation of general and administrative expenses, plus SELLER’s loss of profits, as determined by SELLER in its reasonable discretion (the “Cancellation Charge”). Recognizing that SELLER’s damages arising from any cancellation of any order or termination hereunder will be difficult to estimate, the Parties agree that the Cancellation Charge is reasonable and is not a penalty. SELLER shall deliver all such inventory, work in process, raw materials and components regarding the to-be-manufactured Products to Buyer upon request, after receipt of payment as set forth in this Section and all costs of transportation and delivery for such items.
Buyer agrees that SELLER has no control over the Products after leaving SELLER’s facility. The Parties agree that the risk of loss for the Products passes to Buyer upon pickup and shipment of the Products with any common carrier whether freight collect, prepaid or other method. SELLER will not be responsible for loss, damage or delay caused by the carrier. The risk of losses or damages to the Products shall pass to Buyer in accordance with the agreed delivery term (pursuant to and in accordance with the Incoterms rules). Unless otherwise instructed, selection of carrier and routing of all shipments of the Products shall be at SELLER’s discretion. Shipment dates for any export sales are approximate and are subject to receipt of all necessary Buyer information, and all necessary export-related licenses, permits and other documents. SELLER will attempt to meet the requirements of Buyer’s delivery schedule, but Buyer agrees that SELLER shall not be in default of performance due to a delay of reasonable duration resulting from any cause.
All sales are Ex Works. Upon Buyer request, SHELLER can assist in obtaining insurance and shipping for ordered goods, both in or out bound, under BUYER responsibility. Otherwise BUYER can procure his own insurance and shipping.
Inspection of Products Prior To Shipment. Buyer has the right to inspect the Products for quality and product conformance to the Specifications prior to scheduled shipment date from SELLER. Buyer’s right to inspect must be exercised in writing within seven (7) days of the scheduled ship date of the Products. If Buyer notifies SELLER in less than this requisite time period, SELLER will make all reasonable efforts in its discretion to accommodate Buyer’s right to inspect prior to shipment (but this is not guaranteed). In the event of inspection by Buyer at SELLER’s facility, SELLER reserves the right to designate the place within the facility where inspection may be performed and to restrict access to any other areas. The failure to inspect and identify any damage to the Products prior to the Shipment shall be presumed to prejudice SELLER and Buyer shall be without any remedy as provided herein to the extent that the Products are deemed to be damaged by Buyer upon receipt; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall have a claim for concealed damage if reported in writing to SELLER within 15 days of receipt of the Products by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall still have as its exclusive remedy hereunder the Limited Warranty for any Products that are deemed to be non-conforming or defective as to the Specifications. Buyer’s requested rescheduling of shipment of the Products (i.e., push-outs) cannot be greater than 30 days beyond the original requested ship date for the Products, unless mutually agreed in writing.
Receiving Shipment Responsibilities. The receiver is responsible for safely and correctly receiving shipments. Shipments are carefully packed and secure for normal common carrier transit. If the receiver signs the receiving paperwork (carrier’s delivery receipt) to accept a shipment without correctly inspecting for loss or damage prior to receipt, Buyer may not be able to later on recover for concealed damage or loss. When SELLER ships f.o.b. destination, you must immediately contact SELLER prior to signing carrier’s delivery receipt if loss or damage is suspect. While SELLER will ship goods under insurance, an insurance claim for damage or shortage filed against a carrier on an incorrectly received shipment is rarely successful. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SELLER accept responsibility for any shortage or damage on incorrectly received shipments. Unless otherwise noted, delivery is for a single release shipment, standard ground service level, with a single delivery attempt to a shipping dock at a non-residential business address, and receiver will complete all unloading within carrier mandated time limits. SELLER will not accept responsibilities for any charges associated with DELIVERIES MADE OUTSIDE OF SCHEDULE.

This Limited Warranty will be the exclusive remedy available to Buyer from SELLER for any failure of the Products and/or services to conform to the Specifications or for any defect in the Products and/or service sold by SELLER or for any defect or nonconformance resulting from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, SELLER ’s negligence.

SELLER shall be allowed a reasonable period to investigate any claim of Sale relating to non-conforming or defective Products and/or service and shall be given access to Buyer’s relevant records and data for this purpose. The warranty service shall be performed at SELLER’s factory (if it occurs at a different non-SELLER location, Buyer shall reimburse SELLER for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs).

In order to receive the warranty service provided by this Limited Warranty, Buyer must return the defective Product within 30 days of written notification to SELLER by Buyer. If SELLER determines that the alleged non-conforming or defective Products were in fact conforming and/or not defective, Buyer shall reimburse SELLER all costs of handling, transportation and repairs at SELLER’s prevailing rates. All non-conforming and defective Products returned under the Limited Warranty which are replaced, shall become SELLER’s property. Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any claim under this Limited Warranty shall be further limited by the maximum value of the Products as paid by Buyer.

During all or any work visits, Ocean Dynamics is not responsible or required to preform thorough cleaning of the work area. Additional cleaning may be required by the customer.
Please note: Ocean Dynamics takes much precaution at all job sites and/or work visits. However, we are handling and/or working with glass so it is very possible that glass partials/fragments may be present on the flooring/carpeting during and/or after removal and/or installation. In addition, although Ocean Dynamics does a quick, general clean-up of the work-area(s), we are not professional cleaners. Ocean Dynamics highly suggests a thorough cleaning of the work area(s) be performed several times before anyone walk barefoot on the work-area and/or surrounding area(s). Professional cleaning may be necessary. Ocean Dynamics cannot be held responsible for any injury that may occur as a result of glass debris.
