CREDIT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Upon request for credit on purchases made from
Techlight, prospective clients are required to complete
a Techlight application for credit. References provided will be checked and credit will be verified before any business is conducted. If materials purchased are intended to improve real property, it may be necessary that clients provide additional information regarding their purchases by completing a new job start form.

Once orders are placed, materials are shipped, and invoices are mailed, payment for all materials is due within the terms of your account. The normal terms of account are NET 30 Days unless other agreements have been made. If payment is not received within the agreed terms of the account and your account is more than thirty (30) days past due, your due amount may be subject to interest at no less than 12 percent per annum up to the maximum permitted by law.

We will gladly accept your payment by credit card. If you give us a debit card to keep on file and the charging of your purchase causes you to have insufficient funds, we are not liable for any returned check fees. If your account is more than thirty (30) days past due and you are paying by credit card, you may be subject to the fee which we are changed by our credit card processing company in addition to the amount you want to pay. The current rate is 3 per cent.

If forty-five (45), days pass beyond the invoice date and payment has not been made in full, an “intent to lien” letter will be mailed the contractor and the property owner notifying that payment is due and payable. If payment has not been made within ten (10) days, a lien will be filed against the real property in which Techlight materials have been installed. It is your responsibility to profile a lien waiver and release once payment has been made. Jurisdiction and venue for all disputes is Dallas County, Texas. Any fees associated with collection, including but not limited to, attorney’s fees, court costs, and interest will be paid by you.

Local and state sales taxes, outside the state of Texas are your responsibility.

All returns must have an authorization number written clearly on the outside of the box. The RMA request form may be printed off the internet at
www.techlightusa.com. Credit will normally be issued within 30 business days from receipt of product at Techlight and may be subject to a restocking fee.

Please keep all tracking information regarding the return until the credit has been issued. Insufficient funds checks not cleared within ten (10) business days will be referred to the District Attorney’s office for collection. Waiver of any of these terns once does not constitute a future waiver is implied.

PRICING

Techlight will perform special order configurations of equipment to meet your needs. Techlight/Horizon minimum order, $100.00. On orders specifying “hold for release”, Techlight/Horizon reserves the right to revise freight quotations, pricing, and terms and conditions of sale in accordance to the conditionss in effect at the time of release.

SHIPPING & FREIGHT
Freight charges will normally be added to your invoice unless the order meets the pre-paid freight allowance. We suggest a freight quote be obtained on all pole orders.

FREIGHT ALLOWANCE
FIXTURE orders ONLY of $1,500.00 or more delivering within the Continental United States will be shipped freight allowed (this includes both Techlight and Horizon fixtures or any combination of each that exceeds $1,500 on any single purchase order). On any POLE and/or FIXTURE order of $5,000.00 or more, Techlight will contribute 5% of the total sales order value (excluding freight) towards the cost of the freight. Freight quotes must be obtained and freight must be included on all purchase orders for Techlight contribution to apply. Consult with your representative for shipment lead times. Techlight freight allowed shipments will ship per the current Techlight schedule. If a customer refuses the shipment as scheduled by Techlight, the customer will be required to provide a purchase order for the freight cost to re-consign the shipment to another truck or carrier. Techlight reserves the right to change the freight policy without prior notification.

PARCEL FREIGHT
For overnight or 2nd day service, orders must be received by 12 P.M. CST to guarantee same day shipment. Orders shipped by motor freight usually take four to five days to reach destinations on either coast. Buyers should direct requests for C.O.D. with their Techlight representative. UPS has several programs available to suit your needs.

GROUND UPS shipments usually take four to six days to reach the east coast, five to seven days to reach the west coast, 4 days to the mid-west, and one to two days within Texas.

SECOND DAY AIR is more expensive, yet guarantees delivery two days after UPS receives parcels. Weekend delivery must be specified. Techlight is not responsible for any losses or damage to goods subsequent to shipment. Techlight will assist you in resolving or processing any claims that may arise against carriers.

INSURANCE
Insurance can be applied to the purchaser’s shipments at the purchaser’s expense. Unless the purchase order specifically requests insurance, no insurance will be provided.

DELAYS, DAMAGE, or LOSS
Techlight is not and shall not be liable for delays in shipments or deliveries of product when caused by strike, riots, hurricanes, civil disorder, fires, material shortages, breakdown in manufacturing facilities and/or any other cause beyond its reasonable control, nor the inability to ship by the acknowledgement date. Any claim for damages, loss, or shortages in transit must be made by the purchaser to the delivering carrier. The risk of loss or damage passes on to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier.

CLAIMS AND RIGHTS
Claims for shortages or inaccurate picking of orders must be made to Techlight no later than ten days after shipment of goods. Please include a copy of the invoice or packing slip. A return goods authorization number (RGA) must be obtained from Techlight before products will be accepted and/or credit issued. This return number must be clearly visible on all cartons. Returns will not be accepted on special orders. Refusal of a shipment does not absolve the buyer of any liability; once the product is shipped it becomes the property of the purchaser. All returns must be made within 90 days of delivery and must be shipped prepaid.

RETURNED GOOD POLICY
There is a 15% restocking charge on any item returned for credit or exchange. A 25% restocking charge will be made on returned merchandise which does not have a confirmed RGA authorization number. All approved returns will be subject to a 30% handling charge, freight, and cost of reconditioning and repacking if it is deemed necessary to restore the goods to realable form. Techlight reserves the right to adjust the restocking charge or refuse return authorization on the following exclusions.
(1) If the product requires repackaging.
(2) If the product is damaged.
(3) Unsalable without excessive repair.
(4) If the product is a custom color.
(5) If the product is a custom order.
(6) Damage to poles: all poles are shipped in a standard non-soluble, water resistant packing material, or may be completely packaged in cardboard and marked with warning notice for removal. Failure to remove the packaging upon arrival may result in damage to the pole finish, thus disallowing returns and voiding the warranty.

CANCELLATIONS
Notice of cancellation will not be accepted without a written request within a 48 hour period from Techlight receiving the order. Written consent must be obtained from Techlight prior to cancellation of any order. Techlight will endeavor to halt production of any orders upon agreeing to a cancellation. Cancellation of an order may subject the purchaser to a 25% cancellation charge, or cancellation charges based on materials and/or expenses incurred by Techlight. NOTE: Special or custom orders are non-cancellable unless written consent is requested and obtained from Techlight. Orders shall be determined as “Special” or “Custom” at the sole discretion of Techlight.
