Non-Standard Products are defined as Products that are special orders, custom orders, orders for non-standard products, products not customarily in stock or orders for value-added products.

Customer requests to reschedule are subject to acceptance by AIH in its sole discretion. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after the order has been submitted by AIH to the shipment carrier.

3.1 TERMS OF PAYMENT

  
 


For All Orders Customer agrees to pay the entire net amount of each invoice from AIH pursuant to the terms of each such invoice, without offset or deduction. Orders are subject to credit approval by AIH, which may in its sole discretion at any time change the terms of Customer's credit, require payment in cash, bank wire transfer or by official bank check, and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Customer's order before shipment of any or all of the Products. If AIH reasonably believes that the Customer's ability to make payments may be impaired or if Customer fails to pay any invoice when due, AIH may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof, until such payment is made or cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof. Customer will remain liable to pay for any Products already shipped and all Non-Standard Products ordered by Customer. Customer agrees to submit such financial information as AIH may reasonably require for determination of credit terms and/or continuation of credit terms. Checks are accepted subject to collection and the date of collection will be deemed the date of payment. Any check received from Customer may be applied by AIH against any obligation owing by Customer to AIH under this or any other contract, regardless of any statement appearing on or referring to such check, without discharging Customer's liability for any additional amounts owing by Customer to AIH. The acceptance by AIH of such check will not constitute a waiver of AIH's right to pursue the collection of any remaining balance. Invoices not paid when due will bear interest to date of payment at the annual rate of eighteen (18%) percent or such lower rate as may be the maximum permitted by law. If Customer fails to make payment when due, AIH may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, in which event AIH will be entitled to reimbursement of costs for collection and reasonable attorneys' fees. There is a  $25.00 service charge on all returned checks.

  
     
 

4. SALES TAX

  
 


When required by law AIH will collect Federal, State and/or Local sale, use, excise, and other taxes that apply to a Customer's shipment. These taxes are in addition to the purchase price of the Products subject to an order.  Customer will remit the correct tax unless customer is tax exempt and AIH has a valid signed tax exemption certificate on file.

 
     
 

5. DELIVERY AND TITLE

  
 


All shipments by AIH are F.O.B. point of shipment from AIH's facility or vendor facility and the amount of all transportation charges will be paid to AIH by the Customer in addition to the purchase price of the Products. Subject to AIH's right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Products to the carrier will constitute delivery to Customer and title and risk of loss will pass to Customer. AIH will make reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to Customer's requested delivery date(s). Customer acknowledges that delivery dates provided by AIH are estimates only and that AIH will not be liable for failure to deliver on such dates. Selection of the carrier and delivery route will be made by AIH unless specifically designated by Customer. AIH reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel any other installment(s). Delivery of any installment of Products within thirty (30) days after the date requested will constitute a timely delivery. Delivery of a quantity that varies from the quantity specified shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to accept delivery and pay for the Products delivered.
