- 1. Offer and Acceptance. This Quotation of Acknowledgement is an offer (the “Offer”) by Hyperbaricstore.com (“HBS”) to sell the goods or services referenced in the Agreement (the “Products”) to Customer. Customer may accept this Offer orally, in writing or by performance, but Customer’s acceptance, regardless of form, shall not alter these terms and conditions (“Terms”). If customer objects to any of these Terms, Customer must set forth each objection in a separate writing signed and dated by Customer and delivered to HBS prior to or at the same time as the Customer’s purchase order or other forms of acceptance. Customer’s issuance of a push case order which purports to reject some or all of these Terms by virtue of standard form language shall not be sufficient objection. Any objections to which HBS does not agree in writing shall be deemed rejected and shall not become a part of the parties’ agreement. HBS’s failure to object to provisions in any purchase order, or other communication from Customer (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind), shall not be a waver of these Terms, nor an acceptance by HBS of any such provisions. Any terms in Customer’s purchaser order or any other document of acceptance which are different from or additional to these Terms are hereby rejected unless specifically accepted by HBS in a separate document signed by both Customer and authorized HBS representative, regardless of whether such other terms would materially alter these Terms. No course of dealing, customer or usage, which is contrary to these Terms shall apply. HBS may correct any typographical or clerical errors in prices, specifications, quotations, or acknowledgements.
2. Prices. Product prices are subject to change without notice. Prices are quoted in US dollars and are FOB point of shipment. Prices do not include freight or delivery charges, taxes (sales, excise, use, ad valorem, etc.), or any export or import duties unless otherwise noted on the Agreement. Those charges may be prepaid by HBS and added to Customer’s invoice.
3. Financial Condition. At HBS’s request, customer will furnish sufficient information to enable HBS to assess Customer’s creditworthiness. HBS may, in it’s discretion, require full or partial payment in advance.
4. Payments. Title and Security Interest. All payments shall be made in US dollars. All payments shall be without deductions for back-charges, other accounts between HBS and Customer, and the like, which shall be settled independently of the payment of the invoice. Payment shall not prejudice claims on account of omissions or shortages in shipment, but no such claim will be allowed unless made in writing within 96 hours after receipt of the applicable shipment by Customers. Payments shall be due 30 days from the date of the HBS invoice. Should Customer delay payment beyond the date due, HBS may charge interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1.5% per month. Although risk of loss passes to Customer upon shipment, title shall not pass to Customer and HBS shall have a security interested in all Products and proceeds thereof until HBS receives payment in full. Customer authorizes HBS to file any and all financing statements and other documents required to perfect HBS’s security interest.
5. Shipment. HBS shall select the method and carrier for delivery of all Products. Risk of loss or damage to the Products shall pass from HBS to Customer upon delivery to a career at point of shipment.

Time shall not be of the essence of this agreement.
6. Cancellation and Returns. Acceptance of HBS’s Offer shall be binding on the parties. Cancellation will be accepted only upon HBS’s written consent, together with payment to HBS of a restocking fee equal to 25% of the purchase price.

HBS may then authorize the Products and, if HBS agrees that the Products are defective, authorize Customer to return the Products. Upon receipt of an authorized return of defective Products, HBS will, at its options, repair or replace the defective Products, or provide a full refund of the purchase prices.
7. Delays. HBS shall not be liable for loss, damages, or non-performance resulting from delays in receipt of final specifications or instructions from Customer changes in specifications, events of force majeure, or other cases that are beyond HBS’s reasonable control. In the event of such a delay, the delivery date shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. HBS shall notify Customer of any significant delay and will specify the revised delivery date as soon as practical. If shipment is delayed by Customer, Customer shall arrange for and notify HBS of the place or places to which HBS shall ship the products for warehousing or storage at Customer’s expense and all risk of loss or damage to the Products shall be borne by Customer. If Customer is unwilling or unable to promptly arrange for warehousing or storage facility, HBS may do so at Customer’s expense.
