Terms & Conditions
QUOTE VALIDATION: Quotations are valid for 7 days. With the volatile nature of raw materials needed for fabrication and the fluctuation of manufacturer pricing of goods sold, we cannot guarantee prices beyond the expiration date of our estimates. If the purchasing decision is made after the expiration date, please request updated pricing.
PURCHASE PRICE AND TAXES: Buyer agrees to pay the total price of the Goods (the “Purchase Price”). Buyer shall be responsible for all taxes, duties, levies and charges of whatsoever nature or kind levied on this sale of the Goods (or the delivery thereof) or measured by the Purchase Price (“Taxes”). Buyer shall pay and hold MAD harmless from such Taxes (including penalties and interest) of any taxing jurisdiction which Buyer is required to pay. MAD reserves the right to separately invoice Buyer for Taxes and Buyer agrees that these amounts shall be immediately payable by Buyer. In the case where Buyer provides MAD a certificate of exemption against Taxes, or other evidence of Buyer’s exemption from Taxes, MAD will refund the amount of Taxes collected arising out of the Buyer’s purchase of the Goods.
PAYMENT TERMS: The total amount of the Purchase Price, plus the cost of preparing the Goods for delivery, including, skidding and/or crating charges, and shipping and handling, shall be payable by Buyer as follows: Orders under $10,000 a nonrefundable 50% with initial invoice and remaining 50% within 30 days following Buyer’s notification that the Goods are ready for shipment; Orders $10,000 and above 75% with initial invoice and remaining 25% within 30 days following Buyer’s notification that the Goods are ready for shipment. Goods will not be shipped until invoice is paid in full. Buyer will be assessed a $50 charge for each check that is returned for any reason, or any credit chargeback. Any portion of the Purchase Price, Taxes or other charges which are the responsibility of Buyer which remain unpaid 5 days past their due date, shall be considered overdue. All amounts past due are subject to a late charge of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month (being eighteen percent (18%) per annum) or the highest lawful rate. If full payment has not been made within 90 days after notification of Goods ready to ship, MAD reserves the right to cancel the order and retain all amounts paid by Buyer.
LEAD TIME AND DELIVERY: Lead times and any delivery dates provided by MAD are estimates only. MAD will not be liable for any loss or damages arising from any failure or delay to deliver the Goods to Buyer’s destination, as proposed or estimated. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by MAD, the Goods shall be packaged according to manufacturer’s instructions. Orders are typically shipped via common carrier, pre-paid and added unless other arrangements are made for pickup by the Buyer. The shipping amount quoted is only an estimate and will be confirmed by the carrier at the time of shipment.
INSPECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING GOODS: Buyer shall inspect the Goods for damage, defects, shortage or other nonconformity to this Order immediately upon its receipt of the Goods and before signing for the Goods.

Buyer shall notify MAD in writing of any damage or defects within two (2) calendar days, and of any shortage or nonconformity to the Order and within twenty (20) calendar days, after date of delivery of the Goods. Failure by Buyer to provide MAD written notice within the time provided for herein shall be deemed an acceptance by Buyer in full of the Goods. Any timely claim made based on defect, damage or other nonconformity of the Goods to this Order shall require proof of the claimed condition. Claims made based on damaged Goods will require Buyer to submit photographic evidence of such damage, as well as driver’s signature on the Bill of Lading acknowledging any damage to the Goods caused as a result of shipment.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST: Title to the Goods shall not pass until payment of the Purchase Price has been received by MAD. Notwithstanding the retention of title, all risk of loss or damage with respect the Goods, however caused, shall pass to Buyer upon date of invoice. Buyer assumes all of the obligations and risks of an absolute owner and agrees to indemnify and save harmless MAD from any and all loss or damage or claim for loss or damage to persons or properties caused by reason of the use, possession or operation of the Goods.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION: It is the obligation and responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Goods are installed and operated in a safe and proper manner, and to comply with any technical manual of the manufacturer pertaining to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Goods, and replacement of parts thereof, and with any and all applicable laws which might pertain to the installation and operation of the Goods.
