SALES ORDER TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. Seller shall be defined as Managed Business Solutions (MBS), “Seller” or “Lessor” in the case where Seller directly leases the equipment to Purchaser.
2. Goods may not be returned without prior approval. Goods will be accepted for return if they are unused, in resaleable condition, and current production items. In no event will goods be accepted for return on special orders, or on returns after ten (10) days from the date of delivery. There will be a 20% handling and bookkeeping charge on all accepted returns. Final sale or “as is” merchandise is not subject to returns, service calls, credit or cancellations.

Any labor, pick-up delivery charges associated with fulfilling the manufacturer’s warranty shall be at the expense of the Purchaser if not covered under the warranty. Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser is making this purchase based upon Purchaser’s specifications to Seller of the goods required by Purchaser and not by reason of any material statement made by or on behalf of Seller as to the suitability of such goods. Purchaser agrees that any advice rendered by Seller is based on the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations.
5. Purchaser shall not cancel any special orders after acceptance by Seller. Seller, prior to acceptance of any special order, may require a deposit from Purchaser in such amount as Seller deems appropriate.

In such a case, risk of loss of the goods shall remain with Seller and shall pass to Purchaser upon delivery to Purchaser at Purchaser’s destination point. If Purchaser requires a means of transportation other than that selected by Seller, then any extra cost incurred or damage to the equipment by reason of using other means shall be paid by Purchaser.
8. Seller retains title to all goods until such time as this agreement has been satisfied in full or, at Seller’s option, Seller shall retain a purchase money security interest in all goods leased or for which title has been transferred or sold until such goods are fully paid by Purchaser pursuant to this sale or lease. On Seller’s request, Purchaser shall execute any documents required by Seller to perfect such security interest in the goods where permitted by law or contract. Purchaser hereby authorizes Seller to sign and file, without Purchaser signing, financing statements to perfect Seller’s purchase money security interest stating an “on demand” payment schedule. Purchaser shall pay to Seller any expenses of preparing and filing such statements.
9. Prices quoted will remain in effect for 20 days from the date of the proposal, however the prices quoted will be subject to any increase received from the various manufacturers.

10. A monthly finance charge of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) of the outstanding unpaid balance due will apply to all delinquent accounts and will be added to the balance outstanding. In the event the finance charges are in excess of the maximum rate by law, the finance charges shall be reduced to the maximum rate allowable by law. Purchaser shall be liable for attorney’s fees (33 1/3%) or collection fees whichever is greater together with any other costs of collection. Payment shall not be withheld on any invoice because of partial delivery of the entire order.
