ACT does not include in the Proposal any Products and/or Services not specifically mentioned herein.
  2. Acceptance and Modification. This writing is not an acceptance of any offer made by Buyer. All sales by ACT to Buyer are expressly limited to, and made conditional upon, Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Written acceptance, use, or retention of the Products and/or Services, or payment of the purchase price under the Proposal shall be conclusive evidence of Buyer’s agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. In no event shall the shipment of Products or performance of Services under the Proposal constitute acceptance by ACT of any terms and conditions in addition to or different from those provided herein. All terms and conditions, if any, proposed by Buyer are hereby rejected. No such additional or different terms and conditions will be of any force or effect, unless specifically agreed to by an authorized representative of ACT in writing. The Proposal constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Proposal and supersedes any prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, and understandings. Modifications of the Proposal can be made only by a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
  3. Sales Price. All prices are quoted and payable in U.S. dollars. Unless Buyer provides ACT with acceptable tax exemption certificate, the prices quoted include any taxes imposed on the sale of the Products and/or Services.

Buyer is responsible for all taxes and tariffs that may be imposed upon the sale of the Products.
    2. If Buyer fails to pay an Invoice when due, or if, in the judgment of ACT, the financial condition of Buyer at any time prior to shipment does not justify the extension of credit, then ACT may require: payment in advance, satisfactory security in the form of a line of credit or otherwise, modify the payment terms, suspend and/or terminate manufacture of the Products and/or performance of the Services, or terminate the Proposal upon written notice to Buyer. All delays occasioned by Buyer’s acts shall be at the expense of Buyer and considered an excusable delay under Section 14. ACT reserves the right to assess reasonable charges for its expenses resulting from such delays. Interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is higher, shall be charged daily to all overdue accounts.
    3. Buyer grants ACT a purchase money or similar security interest in the Products located in any jurisdiction where such security interest is permitted, as well as any proceeds therefrom, for the purpose of securing all obligations of Buyer hereunder. Buyer authorizes ACT to execute on Buyer’s behalf and file such financing statements as ACT deems appropriate to perfect and/or notify Buyer’s creditors of ACT’s security interest. In this regard, Buyer hereby grants ACT an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, with respect to filing any such financing statements.
    4. In the event that any amount due hereunder is not paid when due, Buyer shall be liable for any and all costs of collection including, but not limited to, actual legal fees, collection fees, related expenses, court costs, and interest at the highest amount allowed by applicable law from the date due through the date of actual payment.

  5. Buyer’s Obligations. Prior to the Proposal being placed into the schedule, ACT or an ACT authorized representative shall certify and indicate that the Project site is suitable for beginning the Services. It is Buyer’s responsibility to notify ACT on a timely basis when the Project site is ready for inspection.
  6. Changes. ACT reserves the option to change a Product/Service as long as the change does not affect form, fit or function. Any and all changes to the Proposal shall be documented in a formal change order signed by an authorized representative of both parties hereto, where such change order establishes the agreed upon increase or decrease in the total price.
  7. Cancellation/Termination. ACT may terminate any Products or Services then outstanding and/or cause any Products to be returned to ACT wherein in either event ownership thereof shall automatically revert to ACT with immediate effect upon written notice to Buyer, if Buyer: (i) fails to pay any amount when due, and such failure continues for 7 days thereafter; (ii) has not otherwise performed or complied with any term or condition of the Proposal, in whole or in part; or (iii) becomes insolvent, files a petition for bankruptcy or commences or has commenced against it proceedings relating to bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

In the event Buyer notifies ACT in writing that the Product(s) is not in conformity with the Product Warranty during the 1-year warranty period, ACT will, without charge to Buyer, repair or replace, at ACT’s option, any part of a Product(s) which, if properly installed, used and maintained, proved to have been defective in material or workmanship.

ACT does not guarantee and shall have no responsibility or liability for suppliers’ fulfillment of their respective Third-Party Product warranty obligations. Buyer acknowledges that ACT utilizes components and materials from many different suppliers on any given project.

This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with the AAA. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the parties, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice of a demand for arbitration referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA from the panels of business arbitrators maintained by the AAA. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing and shall be final. Judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the decision shall not be subject to vacation, modification or appeal, except to the extent permitted by Sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of which Sections the parties agree shall apply. The expenses of arbitration, including and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the AAA, shall be shared equally by the parties.
    2. The arbitrator will have no authority to award attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, or any other monetary relief not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The award may include equitable relief. The arbitrator will not make any ruling, finding, or award that does not otherwise conform to the Terms. The arbitrator may render a summary disposition relative to all or some of the issues, provided that the responding party has had an adequate opportunity to respond to any such application for such disposition.
    3. The parties agree to treat all aspects of the arbitration as confidential, as provided in the AAA Rules. Before making any disclosure permitted by the Rules, a party shall give written notice to the other party and afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. Further, judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
  3. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and we agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to: your or our intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents).

Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity, and each party hereby waives any right to assert consolidated claims with respect to any disputes subject to arbitration under these Terms of Use or any disputes between the parties. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury for any legal action arising out of or relating to these terms or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver by either party of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of either party to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
