These Terms and Conditions ("Agreement") govern the sale of goods ("Goods") and services ("Services") by WeSpec LLC ("WeSpec") to the customer ("Buyer"). By placing an order with WeSpec, Buyer agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein.


1. Applicability:

(a) These terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (”Goods”) and services (”Services”) by WeSpec LLC. (“Seller”)to the buyer named on the purchase order, quote, or invoice (”Buyer”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by bothparties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods and Services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they areinconsistent with these Terms. (b) The accompanying sales order confirmation (the “Sales Confirmation Invoice”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted itspurchase order (signed quote purchase agreement) or such terms. Fulfilment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.


2. Acceptance:

All sales are expressly conditional on Buyer’s agreement to the standard terms and conditions herein. Any of the terms and provisions of Buyer’s order which are inconsistent with or in addition to the terms and conditions hereof shall not be binding on Seller and shall not be considered applicable to the sale or shipment of the merchandise referred to herein. Acceptance of quotation or payment of invoice or acceptance of goods by Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to be subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Acceptance of any order is subject to credit approval by Seller, acceptance of the order by Seller and, when applicable, Seller’s Vendor (i.e. manufacturers, vendors, or other third parties that provide goods to Seller for resale to Buyer). If Seller, in its sole discretion, determines that Buyer's ability to pay or credit becomes unsatisfactory or it has reasonable grounds for insecurity, Seller reserves the right, upon notice to Buyer, to demand adequate assurance of due performance from Buyer and/or terminate this agreement with no liability to Seller. BY REQUESTING A QUOTE FROM SELLER, PRESENTING AN ORDER TO SELLER, PAYMENT OF INVOICE TO SELLER, OR ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS BY BUYER CONCLUSIVLY CONFIRMS THAT THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS SHALL GOVERN ALL PURCHASES OF GOODS, MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO BUYER BY SELLER (COLLECTIVELY “GOODS”) BY BUYER FROM SELLER. SELLER OBJECTS TO AND REJECTS ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS (CONTAINED IN A PURCHASE ORDER ACCEPTED BY SELLER, OR OTHERWISE) AND NO SUCH TERMS WILL CHANGE THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS UNLESS ACKNOWLEDGED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER. NO SELLER EMPLOYEE OR AGENT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MODIFY THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS VERBALLY. SELLER OBJECTS TO AND REJECTS ANY TERMS BETWEEN BUYER AND ANY OTHER PARTY, AND NO SUCH TERMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS OR “FLOWDOWN” TERMS, SHALL BE A PART OF OR INCORPORATED INTO ANY ORDER FROM BUYER TO SELLER, UNLESS AGREED TO IN WRITING BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF SELLER.


3. Prices and Taxes:

Buyer agrees to pay the prices quoted by Seller and is responsible for additional applicable shipping and handling charges, taxes and duties. Seller shall collect applicable taxes unless Buyer at the time of order submits a valid and complete tax exemption, reseller’s permit, or resale certificate. Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller for any tax, penalty and interest incurred as a result of Seller’s good faith acceptance of a tax exemption, reseller’s permit, or resale certificate that is later found to be incomplete or invalid. Prices on special-order Goods may be subject to change before shipment; Seller shall notify Buyer of any change, and Buyer may at its discretion cancel the special-order Goods if the revised prices are unacceptable, without charge other than applicable Vendor related charges. Any increase in Seller’s costs associated with the imposition of new tariffs after the date of quotation may be passed through to Buyer.


4. Quotes, Estimates, and Counts:

Buyer acknowledges and accepts that quotes are based on WeSpec LLC's interpretation of documents, plans, and specifications provided by the buyer or their contractors, architects, and affiliates. The Buyer is solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of quantities, product selections, and specifications prior to placing an order. WeSpec LLC. does not assume any responsibility for discrepancies, errors, or omissions. Quotes do not include special mounting hardware, fixture options, or accessories unless specifically noted. Prices may change if product specifications or project plans are modified. All quotations and estimates expire thirty (30) days from the date of the quotation unless otherwise noted on the quotation. This time limit applies even if Buyer uses the quotation to submit a job or project bid to any other party.


5. Interpretation Responsibility; Product Use and Safety:

Seller does not guarantee that the Goods it sells conform to any plans and specifications or intended use. When plans and specifications are involved, Buyer is solely responsible for verifying Seller’s interpretations of such plans and specifications, and it is Buyer’s sole responsibility to assure that Seller’s Goods will be accepted on any specific job. When Seller offers substitute Goods on any proposal, Buyer is solely responsible for confirming their acceptability.

Seller does not guarantee compliance or suitability of the goods it sells with any laws, codes or regulations, nor does Seller accept responsibility for construction, installation and/or use of goods.

Due to tariffs imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce on imports from China, pricing in this quotation is valid only until the specified expiration date.
