Terms and Condtions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

QUOTATIONS AND ORDERS
All quotations by us (whether oral or written) shall be offers to sell by us at the
quoted prices and on the terms hereinafter set forth. All such quotations are
subject to change without notice and to continued availability of the quoted
material and, unless otherwise agreed, are binding upon us only if the buyer
immediately submits an order. All contracts to sell are subject to strikes,
accidents or other causes of any kind beyond our reasonable control. No order
placed with us shall be binding upon us until full specifications identifying the
material being ordered have been provided to us and the order has been
accepted by us. Acceptance is defined by the faxed receipt of our order
acknowledgment. A buyer may not, except with our written consent, cancel
any order for material which we have special ordered from the mill, which we
have cut or otherwise processed in accordance with the buyer's instructions, or
which has been shipped by us. All special order material is subject to final mill
acceptance. We will, at a buyer's request, estimate the anticipated time of
delivery of any order, but we will have no liability for any non-timely delivery.
In the event that an order is placed with us by telephone and the buyer does
not send us a confirming order before we ship in response to the order, our
records as to the terms of the order shall be conclusive.

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
If material is shipped to a buyer via a carrier designated by the buyer, title and
risk of loss to the material shall pass to the buyer when the material is loaded
at our plant. If material is shipped to a buyer via any other carrier, title and
risk of loss to the material shall pass to the buyer upon deliver at the buyer's
plant and buyer's release of the shipping documents. However, buyer must
note any shortage or damage on both the buyer's copy and the carrier's copy
to be signed by the carrier's driver or representative. If buyer does not do so,
we will be responsible for any shortage or damage only (i) in the case of a
carrier that is owned or operated by or affiliated with us,
if we establish to our reasonable satisfaction that there was in fact a shortage
in the delivery or that the damage occurred prior to receipt of the material by
buyer, as applicable, or (ii) in the case of any carrier that is not owned or
operated by or affiliated with us, if we are able to recover the shortage or
damage from such carrier.

TECHNICAL ADVICE
None of our agents, employees or representatives have any authority to bind
us to any affirmation, representation, or warranty other than those stated
herein or on our delivery receipt or invoice form. In particular, any technical
advice we furnish with respect to the use of material is given without charge,
and we shall have no obligation or liability for the advice given or the results
obtained, all such advice being given and accepted at buyer's risk.

WARRANTY
We warrant that all material, at the time of shipment by us, shall conform to
any specification set forth on the face of our delivery receipt or invoice and
shall conform to the description contained in the Certificate of Tests or
Certificate of Compliance if either has been furnished by us in connection with
a sale. We do not warrant against any non-conformity to the extent that such
non-conformity results from damage, misuse, abrasion, corrosion, negligence,
accident, tampering, faulty installation, improper storage, inadequate
maintenance, or any other cause affecting the material after shipment of the
material.

WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH ERESPECT TO MATERIAL SOLD
OR SERVICES RENDERED, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS OF THE MATERIAL OR
SERVICES FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH US,
A BUYER AFFIRMS THAT THE BUYER HAS NOT RELIED UPON THE SKILL OR
JUDGMENT OF US OR ANY OF OUR AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR
REPRESENTATIVES TO SELECT OR FURNISH MATERIAL FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND THE SALE IS MADE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY BY US THAT THE
MATERIAL IS SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE

Except for the specifications and certificates (if any) specifically referred to
above, any description of the material or service contained on our sales forms
or any other correspondence is for the sole purpose of identifying it, is not a
part of the basis of the bargain, and does not constitute a warranty that the
material or service shall conform to that description. The use of any sample in
connection with a sale for illustrative purposes only, is not part of the basis of
the bargain, and is not to be construed as a warranty that the material will
conform to the sample. Any affirmation of fact or promise made by us is not
part of the basis of the bargain and shall not constitute a warranty that the
material will conform to the affirmation or promise.

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
We will, at our option and as a buyer's exclusive remedy, replace with new
material, or refund the purchase price for, material that is defective at the time
of shipment if the buyer gives written notice of the defect to us within 45 days
after receipt. This exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed of its
essential purpose so long as we are willing and able to replace defective
material or refund the purchase price within the time specified. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE REPSONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE,
INCLUDING ANY DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OR LOSS ARISING
FROM CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITIING
THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LOSS OR DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS,
CONTENTS, PRODUCTS, OR PERSONS (OTHER THAN INJURY TO PERSONS IN
RESPECT OF WHICH LIABILITY IS IMPOSED BY LAW). Buyer must immediately
discontinue use of any item claimed to be defective. No charge for labor or
expense required to repair defective material or occasioned by it will be
allowed.

LIMITATION OF ACTIONS
No action against us for breach of any sales agreement may be brought more
than one year after the cause of action accrues.

ACCEPTANCE
Our sales are made pursuant to our terms and conditions. If we receive a
purchase order or other document from a buyer that limits acceptance to its
terms or states that our acknowledgement, shipping of material, commencing
work, or other act or failure to act constitutes acceptance of any offer on the
terms of the purchase order or other document, any responding document sent
by us which expresses acceptance or confirms the order is expressly
conditioned on buyer's assent to the terms set forth herein and in such
responding document. Such assent shall be deemed given when the buyer
accepts shipment of any of the material described. We hereby object to any
term contained in a buyer's purchase order or other document if the term is
different from or in addition to the terms herein.
