Terms and Conditions of Design and Sale

  1. Applicability.
    • These terms and conditions of sale (the “Terms“) comprise additional terms and conditions which govern the sale of the goods (the “Goods“) and installation services (“Services“) as described on the accompanying contract (the “Contract”) by and between Watson Well Service, Inc. (“Seller“) and the buyer specified on the Contract (“Buyer“). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of the Contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.
    • The Contract, to which these Terms are attached as Exhibit “A” are incorporated herein together by this reference, which collectively outline the Goods and the Services provided.  The Contract and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement“) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
    • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, Seller may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees as set forth in the Contract.
  1. Delivery of Goods and Performance of Services.
    • The Goods will be delivered as specified in the Contract, subject to availability of components and parts. Seller shall not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit.  Shipping weights, dimensions, anticipated ship dates and arrival times are all approximate and subject to change.  Buyer agrees to accept delivery at Seller’s discretion whether or not the Buyer’s site is prepared to enable Seller to perform the Services.
    • Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Seller shall direct delivery of the Goods to Buyer’s designated location as specified on the Contract (the “Delivery Point“), using Seller’s standard methods for packaging and shipping of such Goods. Upon delivery, Buyer shall conduct a general inspection for obvious damages, and absent notice to Seller (and with or without inspection), Buyer shall be deemed to have taken delivery of the Goods within 10 days of delivery.  Buyer shall be responsible for all loading costs and provide equipment and labor reasonably suited for receipt of the Goods at the Buyer’s Delivery Point, and will unload and release all transportation equipment promptly such that no demurrage or other expense is incurred.  
    • If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of the Goods on the date fixed pursuant to Seller’s notice that the Goods are to be delivered at the Delivery Point, or if Seller is unable to deliver the Goods at the Delivery Point on such date because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk of loss to the Goods shall pass to Buyer (where not delivered FOB Origin as provided in Section 5, below); (ii) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller, at its option, may store the Goods until Buyer picks them up, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
    • Seller shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates to render the Services specified in the Contract, and any such dates shall be estimates only.
    • With respect to the Services, Buyer shall (i) cooperate with Seller in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Buyer’s premises, preparing the designated Buyer’s installation site with proper hook-ups (power, water, etc.), and such other accommodation and facilities as may reasonably be requested by Seller, for the purposes of performing the Services; (ii) respond promptly to any Seller request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Seller to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement; (iii) provide such customer materials or information as Seller may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the Services before the date on which the Services are to commence.
  1. Non-Delivery.
    • Seller may from time to time arrange with a third-party freight delivery provider (a “Carrier”) for delivery of the Goods. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, the estimated Carrier cost will be added to the final amount due. 
    • Seller shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by Seller’s negligence) unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller of the non-delivery within 30 days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received.
    • Any liability of Seller for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time.
    • Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 3 are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for any non-delivery of Goods.
  1. Taxes – Unless provided to the contrary in the Contract, sales tax has not been added to the Contract price, and where such taxes are applicable, such amounts shall be added to the Contract price.  Buyer shall pay all excise, privilege, sales, use and value-added taxes and all custom duties, levies and other governmental charges, however designated, imposed by any governmental authority arising from the sale or the exportation or importation of the Goods, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all expenses, costs, liabilities and claims arising out of or relating to Buyer’s failure to fulfill such obligation. If Seller pays any such taxes or charges, Buyer shall upon demand, immediately reimburse Seller for such amounts.
  1. Shipping Terms; Taxes. Where delivery of the Goods is by Carrier, the Goods shall be shipped FOB Origin Seller’s designated warehouse, which shall be 500 Summer Street, Eureka, CA 95501, until notice of any designation change is provided by Seller to Buyer.  Buyer acknowledges that “FOB Origin” transfers to Buyer title and risk of loss with respect to the Goods the moment the Carrier picks up and signs the bill of lading at the origin pick-up location.  In the event the Contract specifies that Seller shall deliver the Goods, delivery shall be made at Buyer’s Delivery Point, and title and the risk of loss shall pass upon such delivery of the Goods. 
  1. Security Interest Grant. As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title, and interest of Buyer in, to and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the California Uniform Commercial Code.
  1. Buyer’s Acts or Omissions. If Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Buyer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants, or employees, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges, or losses sustained or incurred by Buyer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
  1. Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods.
    • Buyer shall inspect the Goods within the periods set forth in Section 2(b) upon delivery to Delivery Point (“Inspection Period“). Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods within the times so specified unless it notifies Seller in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as required by Seller. “Nonconforming Goods” means only the following: (i) product shipped is different than identified in the Contract; or (ii) product’s label or packaging incorrectly identifies its contents. 
    • If Buyer timely notifies Seller of any Nonconforming Goods and the existence of Nonconforming Goods is acknowledged by Seller, Seller shall replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, together with any reasonable shipping and handling expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith. Buyer shall ship, at its expense and risk of loss, the Nonconforming Goods to Seller’s facility, currently located at 500 Summer Street, Eureka, CA 95501. If Seller exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Seller shall, after receiving Buyer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Buyer, at Buyer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to Buyer’s Delivery Point.
    • Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 8(b) are Buyer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided under Section 8(b), all sales of Goods to Buyer are made on a one-way basis and Buyer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to Seller.
  1. Price.
    • Buyer shall purchase the Goods and Services from Seller at the prices (the “Prices“) set forth in the Contract. If the Prices should be increased by Seller before delivery of the Goods to a Carrier for shipment to Buyer, then these Terms shall be construed as if the increased prices were originally inserted herein, and Buyer shall be billed by Seller on the basis of such increased prices. 
    • Buyer agrees to reimburse Seller for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the performance of the Services.
    • All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any Governmental Authority on any amounts payable by Buyer.

    • All amounts due shall be fully and timely paid by Buyer as and when specified in the Contract. Buyer shall make all payments hereunder by payment method mutually agreed upon by both the Buyer and Seller and in US dollars.
    • Buyer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month, calculated daily and compounded monthly, but in no event exceeding the amount allowed by law. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Seller does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend the delivery of any Goods or performance of any Services and stop Goods in transit if Buyer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder and such failure continues for 30 days following written notice thereof.
    • Buyer shall not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Seller, whether relating to Seller’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise.
  1. Change Orders.
    • The Goods shall meet such specifications as set forth in the Contract. If either party wishes to change the specifications or any component with respect to the Goods, or the scope or performance of the Services, (a “Change Order Request“), such party shall submit details of the requested change to the other party in writing. Seller shall, within a reasonable time after such request, provide a written estimate to Buyer of:
      • the likely time required to implement the change;
      • any necessary variations to the fees and other charges for the Goods or Services arising from the change;
      • the likely effect of the change on the Services; and
      •  any other impact the change might have on the performance of the Agreement.
    • Promptly after receipt of the written estimate, the parties shall negotiate and agree in writing on the terms of such change (a “Change Order“). Neither party shall be bound by any Change Order unless mutually agreed upon in writing in accordance with Section 30. For clarity, no Buyer Change Order Request shall affect the Contract until such Buyer Change Order Request is accepted in writing by Seller. Upon acceptance of a Change Order, the parties’ respective obligations under the Contract, except as modified by the Change Order, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 
    • Notwithstanding Section 11(a) and Section 11(b), Seller may, from time to time change the Services or substitute like components or parts comprising the Goods without the consent of Buyer provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, the overall functionality of the Goods, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the Contract.

    • Seller warrants to Buyer that for a period of three (3) months from completion of Seller’s Services, that the Services shall be performed free of material defect in design or workmanship, and that the Services shall be performed using personnel of required skill, experience, and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services.

    • The Seller shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty set forth in Section 12(a) or Section 12(b) if: (i) Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such Notice of Defect; (ii) the defect arises because Buyer failed to follow Seller’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods; or (iii) Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of Seller.
