TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
TERMS: For open accounts, a 2% discount is allowed if payments are made within ten days from the date of invoice. Payments for invoices are due within 30 days unless otherwise
noted. If the amounts 30 days past due on a the monthly statement, are not paid in full within 10 days following delivery of the statement, the customer shall pay a late payment charge,
equal to 1.5 % of the amounts in arrears, for each month in which such amounts remain unpaid. This late payment charge is intended as liquidated damages for failure to pay amounts
when due, and represents damages for the time amounts are withheld plus reasonable administrative costs of collecting and accounting for unpaid amounts. The customer understands
and acknowledges that separate calculation of actual damages for each instance of late payment would be extremely difficult and impracticable, and further acknowledges that the foregoing
provision for liquidated damages is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof. If legal action is necessary to collect amounts due, including amounts due
as liquidated damages, it is agreed that the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys fees and/or collection costs. All films, artwork, transparencies, files, disks, etc., remain the
property of provider until payment is received. In no event shall provider's liability regarding this sale exceed the price of the labor and film sold. Provider will not be liable for any damages
for failure to deliver within the requested time, but will use its best efforts to make delivery within such time.
