Late payments & Default
An account shall be considered in default if it remains unpaid for 90 days from the date of invoice or The Client has stated expressly that they do not intend to pay an invoice by Hyper SPEAR; unless prior arrangements have been made. Hyper SPEAR shall at its sole discretion suspend any and all services provided to The Client or its subsidiaries and employ debt collection measures until the total outstanding balance has been paid in full. This includes any and all unpaid accounts due for services ordered, including, but not limited to design, prototyping, manufacturing, tooling, maintenance, and sub-contractors, plus bank interest calculated daily for each day payment is overdue.
Suspension of such services does not relieve The Client of its obligation to pay the due amount. The Client whose account is in default agrees to pay Hyper SPEAR reasonable legal expenses and third-party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.
Inspection
“The Customer” shall inspect and accept or properly reject Products delivered pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt. In the event the Products do not comply with the applicable Specifications, “The Customer” shall notify Hyper SPEAR of such noncompliance and give Hyper SPEAR a reasonable opportunity to correct any such noncompliance. Products shall be deemed accepted unless rejected within fifteen (15) days after delivery.
Shipments/Delivery Schedule Terms
All Products will be packaged in the manner determined by Hyper SPEAR, unless otherwise requested by you and agreed to in writing by Hyper SPEAR. The cost of packaging for domestic shipment is included in the quoted price. Where special domestic, export or MIL Standard packing is specified, involving greater expense, a charge will be made to cover such extra expense. You agree that Hyper SPEAR may make partial shipments of Products, and each shipment will constitute a separate and independent transaction.
All shipping and delivery dates are approximate, and delivery is subject to unavoidable delays. All claims for breakage and damage, except on parcel post shipments, should be made to the carrier but Hyper SPEAR will render all possible assistance in securing satisfactory adjustment to such claims. Claims against parcel post shipments should be communicated immediately to the factory for adjustment. Hyper SPEAR assumes no responsibility for delay, breakage, or damage after having made delivery in good order to the carrier, except for parcel post shipments. In the absence of specific routing instruction by “The Customer”, Hyper SPEAR will exercise commercially reasonable judgment to route shipments. We assume no responsibility for changes by carriers.
