Honeyville, Inc. Terms and Conditions

For Quote, Purchase Order, Bill of Lading, Invoice or Customer Agreement

These Honeyville, Inc. (“Honeyville”) Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) are attached to and form a part of any price quote, purchase order, order confirmation, bill of lading, invoice, manufacturing agreement, or other agreement (in each case, the “Agreement”) between Honeyville and the customer or other party signing below (“Customer”). “Goods” means the Honeyville products described in the Agreement. Any written (but not preprinted) terms in the Agreement will have priority over these Terms if there is a conflict. Preprinted terms in a purchase order or other document issued by Customer are expressly agreed to be of no force or effect, and are entirely superseded and replaced by these Terms. These Terms may not be modified or amended except by a written document signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

  1. Acceptance of Terms and Quotes. These Terms become binding upon Honeyville and Customer:
  • Where a purchase order is submitted by Customer, upon Honeyville’s acceptance of the purchase order.
  • Where a quote is issued by Honeyville, upon either (i) Customer’s delivery to Honeyville of a properly-signed purchase order consistent with the quote’s terms, or (ii) Customer’s and Honeyville’s execution of a Manufacturing Agreement or other written agreement that includes a purchase schedule(s) reflecting the quote’s terms. A quote (including pricing) is not binding upon Honeyville, and Customer has not effectively accepted the quote, until one of these events occurs. Additionally, a Honeyville quote must be accepted by Customer within the time period specified in the quote.
  • In the case of any other written Agreement, upon execution of the Agreement by both Customer and Honeyville.
  1. Pricing. If a Honeyville quote includes commodities prices, such prices are valid only until the end of the day that the quote is issued, unless otherwise specified in the quote or a relevant Honeyville document. Prices quoted by Honeyville do not apply to any Goods or options which are not expressly quoted or that are added later at the Customer’s request. Quoted prices do not include applicable sales, use, or property taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all applicable taxes in addition to the purchase price. Unless otherwise separately contracted between the parties, the prices for Goods are subject to change by Honeyville at any time upon written or electronic notice to Customer, based upon Honeyville’s costs of acquiring the necessary raw components, Honeyville’s then-standard tolling, any newly-implemented governmental price controls, and other relevant factors.
  2. Shipping and Delivery. Delivery will be made as specified in the applicable purchase order, order confirmation or other Agreement; if not otherwise agreed, shipping terms will be Ex Works Honeyville’s facility. Customer is responsible for making any insurance claims. Delivery dates are approximate; Honeyville is not responsible for any delivery delays, regardless of the cause. Honeyville reserves the right to make partial deliveries. Any increases in freight rates will be at Customer’s expense. Honeyville’s weights are to govern settlement.
  3. Confidentiality. Each party agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided by the other party (“Confidential Information”), including pricing, formulas and specifications for Goods, future product plans, trade secrets, and other information identified as confidential or proprietary. The receiving party shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the authorized purposes of the Agreement. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information only to its employees and third parties who need to know such information, and who are bound to keep such information confidential. The receiving party may also disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law.
  4. Limited Warranty. Honeyville warrants to Customer that for a period of 14 days from the date of shipment of a Good, the Good will comply in all material respects with applicable FDA and other federal standards, and will be fit for human consumption.

Any claims by Customer must be made to Honeyville in writing before the end of the above 14 day warranty period. Customer’s exclusive remedy and Honeyville’s sole liability for a breach of this warranty will be for Honeyville to replace the defective Good or provide a credit or refund of the amount paid for such Good. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND HONEYVILLE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT SPECIFICALLY STATED HEREIN.

Customer shall also reimburse Honeyville for all reasonable collection costs incurred by Honeyville, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

Upon termination, Customer shall immediately pay all amounts owed to Honeyville, including any future monetary obligations of Customer under the Agreement, which Honeyville may accelerate and declare to be immediately due and payable.
