To customers having established credit with KWS, terms are 1/2% discount if paid in full within ten (10) days of the date of invoice and otherwise all credit sales are due in full within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, unless otherwise agreed in writing. No discount is allowed for earlier payment unless authorized by KWS in writing.

Accounts past due shall accrue interest at the highest lawful rate allowed by applicable law.

LIMITED WARRANTY: KWS warrants all equipment manufactured by KWS to be free from defects in material and manufacture at the time of shipment for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment. KWS will furnish without charge, but will not install, replacements for such parts as we find to have been defective. Unless otherwise stated in quotation, this limited warranty is based on operation of the equipment for a period not exceeding eight hours per day. KWS MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES EXCEPT THE LIMITED WARRANTY HEREBY STATED, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. All warranty claims must be submitted within ten (10) days of discovery of defects or shall be deemed waived. No representative of our company has any authority waive, alter, vary or add to the terms hereof without prior approval in writing. This limited warranty applies only to equipment which is subjected to normal use and service. This limited warranty shall not apply to any equipment which as been subjected to misuse, neglect or accident, or has been altered or tampered with, or if corrective work has been done thereon without our specific written consent, no allowances will be made for such corrective work done without such consent. Improper lubrication, deterioration by chemical action, and wear caused by the presence of abrasive materials, do not constitute defects. KWS shall not be responsible for work done, apparatus furnished, or repairs made by others. Equipment manufactured by others, and included in our proposal is not warranted in any way by KWS but carries only the manufacturer’s warranty, if any.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: It is expressly understood that KWS’s liability is limited to the furnishing of replacement parts. KWS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, UPON WARRANTIES OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF EQUIPMENT. Thus, KWS is not liable for any other expense, loss or damage including, but not limited to, loss of profits, production, increased cost of operation of spoilage arising in connection with the sale or use of, or inability to use our equipment or products for any reason, except as herein provided.

Purchasers irrevocably agree that any legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this sale shall be brought in the state courts of Johnson County, Texas, or the United States District Court for the judicial district in which Johnson County is located.

PROMISE OF DELIVERY: Promise of delivery represents only our best estimate of the time required to complete the work and ship the material from our plant.

Additional charges may be assessed for any special services or markings, special boxing, cartage, transfer, overtime (when authorized by purchaser), financing, or other abnormal requirements.

MINIMUM CHARGE: Minimum charge on any invoice will be $35.00 net plus applicable parcel post, express or freight charges.

CONTRACTS: All prices are made F.O.B. Burleson, Texas, unless otherwise indicated. Our responsibility ceases when delivery has been made to the transportation company. If there are shortages or evidence of damage, insist on the transportation agent making notations on the shipping documents before signing receipt. Claims should be made immediately and we will cooperate with customers when desired in obtaining adjustments from the transportation company. All contracts are made and accepted at Burleson, Texas, and are not valid until acknowledged from the company’s main office. It is the company’s intent and purpose to surrender title to this material when final payment is made.

Acceptance or acknowledgement of any order, quotation or contract is with the express understanding that a “no lien agreement” has not been filed.
