Terms and Conditions

Agreement between customer and HTH Communications

For purposes of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, HTH Communications, LLC shall be referred to as “Seller,” and any person or entity that purchases products from Seller shall be referred to as “Customer.” The following Terms and Conditions of Sale, along with the invoice rendered to Customer by Seller (the “Invoice”), shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof (this “Agreement”). All previous negotiations, proposals and representations, including but not limited to any purchase order submitted by Customer (whether or not accepted by Seller), are superseded hereby, and this Agreement shall constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between Customer and Seller.

Terms And Conditions:

All descriptions, quotations, proposals, offers, acknowledgments, acceptances, and sales of products by Seller are subject to and shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions stated herein. Seller’s acceptance of any offer to purchase by Customer is expressly conditioned upon Customer’s assent to all the terms and conditions stated herein. Any conduct by Customer that recognizes the existence of a contract pertaining to any products offered for sale or sold by Seller (including, without limitation, ordering, accepting, or paying for products) shall constitute acceptance by Customer of this Agreement and all its terms and conditions. All orders received from Customer are subject to acceptance by Seller. In no event shall Seller be bound by any terms or conditions proposed by Customer that are in addition to, or inconsistent with, those stated herein. No such additional, different, or inconsistent terms or conditions shall become part of this Agreement unless expressly accepted in writing by Seller.

Payment Terms:

For all sales, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Seller, payment of all invoiced amounts is due upon delivery of the products and shall be payable at Seller’s principal office in Houston, Texas. If Seller agrees in writing to sell products on credit, then all amounts invoiced will be due and payable net 30 days. Any invoiced amounts not paid within 30 days after the Invoice date will be delinquent (a “Delinquency”). Interest shall accrue on the amount of any Delinquency at the lesser of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or the maximum rate allowed by state law. Waiver of any existing interest charges shall not be deemed a waiver of future charges. All payments received may be applied against open charges in the sole discretion of Seller. Seller shall have a right of setoff, in the amount of all Delinquencies, against any amounts that Seller may owe Customer. Customer shall be responsible for all internal and external collection costs and attorney’s fees, relating to any Delinquency placed for collection by Seller. Seller shall have a purchase money security interest in all products to the extent of any portion of any Invoice or other amount that has not been paid but remains due and owing, and Seller shall retain its security interest until Customer has paid the full Invoice amount and all other amounts due and owing.

Taxes:

Unless otherwise indicated on the face of the Invoice, all prices and charges are exclusive of excise, sales, use, property, occupational or like taxes. If any such taxes must be paid by Seller or if Seller is liable for the collection of such tax, the amount thereof shall be in addition to the amounts for the products sold. Customer agrees to pay all such taxes or to reimburse Seller therefore upon receipt of the Invoice. If Customer claims exemption from any sales, use or other tax, Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any such tax, together with any interest or penalties thereon which may be assessed if the products are held to be taxable.

Transportation Charges; Title; Risk Of Loss:

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, all sales of products will be F.O.B.
