Otherwise, all prices are subject to change without notice.
All prices listed on the site or quoted are net of an anticipated

generally 15 days (30 days outside North America). All quotations
and orders are subject to credit approval.
|
||

ready to design custom solutions to your specifications. Terra
will provide formal quotations based on detailed drawings.

nor cancelable without approval from Terra and require payment
of incurred costs.

Evaluation Orders
|
Terra may accept an evaluation order on certain
standard items. Evaluation items are offered for a specific
trial period, generally 15 days. You may purchase evaluation items
by keeping them and paying the evaluation invoice. Evaluation
items may be returned by requesting an RMA during the trial
period, returning the items via the transportation method
originally used, in original condition and in original packaging
material, and paying return freight.
|
||
|
Quantity Pricing
|
Quantity pricing is available on many items for
volume purchases meeting minimum quantities. Large projects
may also qualify for project pricing. Send your shopping list
for a guaranteed quotation. Terra meets competitors' pricing.
|
||
|
Special Packaging
|
Product prices do not include crating service
fees or other special packaging that may be required. All
additional packaging costs are indicated on quotations.
|
||
|
Export Control
|
Terra strictly enforces all US laws concerning export of sensitive products. Quotes are issued and orders received with the understanding that the "Ship To" addressee and location provided by you are the final destination of these products for purposes of Department of Commerce export regulations and that you will notify Terra if these change. If an export license is required, a processing charge of $500 is due with order. Export licenses require undeterminable time for DOC processing. Orders requiring export licenses are not accepted or released until the licenses are received.
|
||
|
Payment Terms
|
Open account terms are available only to firms
meeting credit standards, and generally only in countries
in which Terra has established collection relationships. Visa,
MasterCard, letters of credit, and other
advance-pay terms are accepted. A Late Charge is invoiced on product and service invoices unpaid 15 days after their due dates. The late charge must be paid to retain open account status. The late charge is 10% of the products and services invoiced or the discount granted, if any, on these items, whichever is greater. Invoice due date is based on date shipped. Accounts unpaid
after 45 days (60 days outside North America) accrue interest
at 1.5% per month. Unless otherwise agreed, freight terms
are FOB Shipper's Dock ("Ex Works" outside North America).
Title passes at the time the shipment is loaded at the shipper's
dock. Terms are subject to change without notice.
|
||
| Shortage or Damage |
Upon receipt of any equipment from Terra Universal
Inc., customer shall immediately unpack and inspect for damage
or shortage. The customer shall not accept a damaged package
or a short shipment until the carrier makes a "damage or shortage"
notation on both carrier's and customer's copy of the freight
bill or delivery receipt. Service title passes when the shipment
is loaded; customer is responsible for filing and collecting
a freight claim. Replacement products must be ordered and paid for separately.
Generally, customers can improve the chance
of collecting on a freight claim by following these procedures:
1) Formally requesting immediately upon suspecting damage or
shortage that the carrier inspect the shipment to verify condition; 2)
Notifying the carrier upon discovery of concealed damage and
requesting an inspection within 15 days of receipt, both in
person or phone and following up via mail; 3) Keeping the shipment
as intact as possible, including retaining original packaging
material and keeping the product as close to the original
receiving location as possible; 4) In all cases, holding salvage
for disposition by the carrier.

Returning Goods
|
All returns must be approved by Terra in writing in advance. Custom items and many special order items may not generally be canceled or returned. Items authorized for return may carry a restocking fee. All items accepted by Terra must be in original condition and in original shipping containers and returned freight prepaid, FOB Terra. Terra may elect to issue return credits against future orders rather than cash refunds. Before any item may be returned, you must first obtain an RMA number. No returns will be accepted without an RMA. The RMA request should include the following information:
Terra will evaluate the request and respond with
an RMA or decline the request with an explanation. The RMA
will specify the shipping method and special labeling and
packaging requirements which must be followed to qualify for
a credit. Freight collect shipments will be refused. RMAs
generally provide for the customer to pay return freight.
RMAs expire 30 days from the day issued. Returned goods MUST
be shipped within that 30-day period. After expiration, the
RMA is not valid and cannot be reissued.

Items Not Authorized
for Return |
