Pinta Acoustic Inc. — Terms and Conditions of Sale
- Controlling Terms. The terms and conditions set forth herein apply to all sales of Pinta products, to the exclusion of any terms that may be provided with buyer’s purchase order or other forms. Pinta reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revise these terms and conditions from time to time.
- Prices. All prices are in US Dollars and are subject to change by Pinta at any time in its sole discretion. Price changes take effect for future orders only and do not apply to orders submitted to PInta prior to the date of the price change.
- Taxes. Pinta’s prices do not include federal, state or local taxes. All taxes are the sole responsibility of buyer.
- Payment. Buyer may request credit approval from Pinta, and Pinta reserves the right to limit or refuse credit to buyer in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise provided by Pinta in writing, payment is due in full prior to shipment of the products and may be made by cash, credit card, or wire transfer. Pinta shall be under no obligation to ship products to buyer when buyer had not yet paid for the products in full. In the event that any products are shipped prior to receipt of payment in full, buyer agrees at Pinta’s request to execute financing statements to permit Pinta to perfect a security interest in the products.
- Default by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that many of the products are produced on a custom or on-demand basis and that time is therefore of the essence in remitting payment for the products.

- Changes. Buyer’s order shall not be canceled, changed, or reduced in any amount, nor any deliveries suspended by buyer without Pinta’s prior written consent.

The physical placement of products and the surrounding conditions, among other factors, will affect product performance. Sizes, weights, dimensions and other details stated in publications, advertisements or otherwise (except to the extent they are expressly stated on the face of this form) are estimates and subject to change and shall not to be treated as contractual or as representations binding upon Pinta. Dimensions, appearance, design and similar specifications stated on the face side of this form may be modified by Pinta where necessary due to unavailability of materials or due to Pinta’s perception of technological advances.
- Delivery. Pinta shall arrange for delivery of the products to buyer, at Pinta’s expense, and Pinta shall provide or arrange for a third party to provide insurance covering the products through the time of arrival at buyer’s specified delivery location.

Delay in shipment shall not relieve buyer of its obligation to accept and pay for deliveries.
