Terms and Conditions of Sale
UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING, ALL SALES ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
GENERAL
Elliott Motorsports, a Minnesota business, ("Seller") hereby offers for sale to the buyer named on the face hereof ("Buyer") the products listed on the face hereof (the "Products") on the express condition that Buyer agrees to accept and be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein. Any provisions contained in any document issued by Buyer are expressly rejected and if the terms and conditions in this agreement differ from the terms of Buyer's offer, this document shall be construed as a counter offer and shall not be effective as an acceptance of Buyer's document. Buyer's receipt of Products provided hereunder will constitute Buyer's acceptance of this agreement. This is the complete and exclusive statement of the contract between Seller and Buyer with respect to Buyer's purchase of the Products. No waiver, consent, modification, amendment or change of the terms contained herein shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Seller and Buyer. Seller's failure to object to terms contained in any subsequent communication from Buyer will not be a waiver or modification of the terms set forth herein. All orders are subject to acceptance in writing by an authorized representative of Seller.
PRICE
All prices published by Seller or quoted by Seller's representatives may be changed at any time without notice. All prices quoted by Seller or Seller's representatives are valid for thirty (30) days, unless otherwise stated in writing. All prices for the Products will be as specified by Seller or, if no price has been specified or quoted, will be Seller's price in effect at the time of shipment. All prices are subject to adjustment on account of specifications, quantities, raw materials, cost of production, shipment arrangements or other terms or conditions which are not part of Seller's original price quotation.
TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES
Prices for the Products exclude all sales, value added and other taxes and duties imposed with respect to the sale, delivery, or use of any Products covered hereby, all of which taxes and duties must by paid by Buyer. If Buyer claims any exemption, Buyer must provide a valid, signed certificate or letter of exemption for each respective jurisdiction.
DELIVERY; PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
Although Seller has attempted to ensure that the inventory availability of Products is properly designated on the Web site for many Products, Seller acknowledges that from time-to-time even those Products designated as in inventory will not be available at time of shipment. Any dates quoted for delivery of the Product are approximate only and Seller will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Product however caused. Time for delivery will not be of the essence of this agreement unless previously agreed by the Seller in writing. Seller reserves the right to substitute alternate products with equivalent specifications for those ordered. Buyer shall have the right to return any substituted products at no charge. Seller further reserves the right to make delivery in installments for those items of an Order, which are available for immediate shipment, and to separately charge Buyer’s credit card account for any such items delivered. The foregoing sets forth Seller’s entire obligation with regard to Product availability and shipment delays. Seller shall not be liable for any late shipment or any failure to ship any Product(s).
INSPECTION; ACCEPTANCE
Immediately upon receipt of Product(s) shipped hereunder, Buyer shall inspect the Products and promptly notify Seller in writing of any claims for order or shipping errors, shortages, defects or damages and shall hold any such goods for Seller’s written instructions concerning disposition. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of Products, such failure shall constitute a waiver of Buyer’s rights of inspection and rejection and the Products shall conclusively be deemed to conform to the terms provided herein and shall be irrevocably accepted by Buyer. If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Product(s) or fails to give Seller adequate delivery instruction at the time stated for delivery, otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer’s reasonable control or by reason of Seller’s fault, then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Elliott Motorsports: (i.) Seller may store the Product(s) until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for all reasonable costs, including insurance, of storage; or (ii.) sell the Product(s) at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) charge the shortfall to the credit card account authorized by the Buyer or account to the Buyer for the excess over the price charged to the Buyer.
CANCELLATIONS OF ORDERS
Buyer may cancel an Order prior to shipment provided Seller approves a cancellation. Buyer shall pay all of Seller’s costs, losses and anticipated profits relating to such cancellation. Seller shall have the right to cancel the agreement upon prior notice to Buyer and upon such cancellation shall have no further duties or obligations to Buyer hereunder. All sales are custom built to order and are considered final once the checkout process has been completed, any changes and/or modifications to an order may result in change order charges being applied to the order and could impact production lead times.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
Delivery Terms will be F.O.B. Seller’s shipping point; identification of the Product(s) is to occur when it leaves Seller’s shipping point at which time title and risk of loss will pass to Buyer. Unless specified by Buyer, Seller shall select the mode of transportation and the carrier. All right, title and interest in and to all items covered by Buyer's order are reserved to Seller until the full purchase price for all such times has been paid. Buyer hereby authorizes Seller to execute and file, at any time or times, one or more financing statements with respect to such items, signed only by Seller.
INDEMNIFICATION

Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) with respect to the aggregate of all Damages incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnitees arising out of or relating to: (1) any breach of, or default in the observance or performance of any agreement or failure to fulfill any other obligation that Buyer is required to perform or observe in this agreement; (2) any breach of or false or fraudulent, representation or warranty made by Buyer in this agreement; (3) any improper handling, installation, maintenance or care, improper use, use for any purpose or application for which the Product was not designed or intended, abuse or neglect, of the Product, by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; (4) any removal of any necessary safety Product, device or guard or any warning/safety label or notice from the Product, by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; (5) any alteration, modification, connection or repair of the Product, by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; (6) any addition of any part, component or accessory (or any use thereof) that is: (a) added by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; or (b) not supplied or approved in writing by Seller; (7) any use or operation of the Product by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval not in accordance with any storage, operation, maintenance or repair instructions furnished by Seller or any generally accepted industry practice; and/or (8) Buyer's failure to adequately train staff in the operations and maintenance of the Product.
b. By Seller
Seller hereby represents and warrants, to Seller’s actual knowledge, that (1) neither the Product nor any of our technology utilized in the Product: (i) infringes any valid United States patent, patent application, copyright, license, trade secret, know-how, trademark or any other intellectual property right; or (ii) constitutes any kind of wrongful use of any confidential information or proprietary information; and (2) no such claim is pending or threatened against Seller. Subject to Section 8(c), Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and save Buyer with respect to the aggregate of all Damages (excluding any special, incidental, consequential, punitive or any other indirect damages) incurred or suffered by Buyer arising out of or relating to any breach of or false or fraudulent representation or warranty made by Seller contained in the foregoing sentence.
c. Limitation in Indemnification.
Seller shall have no liability under Section 8(b) to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Buyer to the extent that any Damages incurred or suffered by Buyer arise out of or relate to: (1) any addition of any part, component or accessory (or any use thereof) that is: (a) added by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; or (b) not supplied or approved in writing by Seller; (2) use of the Product and/or any component thereof in any manner or for any purpose, application or environment for which it was not designed or intended; (4) use of the Product and/or any component thereof for the manufacture of products in respect of which Buyer needs and fails to obtain a third party license, consent or permission (**other than any third party license, consent or permission obtained by Seller and granted to Buyer in the Terms of Use**); (5) any alteration, modification, connection or repair of the Product and/or any component thereof by anyone other than Seller without Seller's prior written approval; or (6) any aspect of the design, manufacture and/or method of operation of the Product and/or any component thereof in accordance with any drawings, specifications, instructions and/or other materials issued by Buyer to Seller.
d. Seller’s Right to Cure.
Notwithstanding the above, Seller's infringement related indemnification obligations shall be extinguished and relieved if Seller, at its discretion and at its own expense (a) procures for Buyer the right, at no additional expense to Buyer, to continue using the Product; (b) replaces or modifies the Product so that it becomes non-infringing, provided the modification or replacement does not adversely affect the specifications of the Product; or (c) in the event (a) and (b) are not practical, refund to Buyer the amortized amounts paid by Buyer with respect thereto, based on a five (5) year amortization schedule. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION STATES SELLER'S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO BUYER FOR THE CLAIMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
