MCPc, Inc. Policies and Procedures
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) shall apply to all transactions between MCPc, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“MCPc”) and the purchaser (“you” or “Buyer”) relating to all products (“Products”) and services (“Services”) supplied to you.
1. Payment. All invoices (each an “Invoice”) for
Products and Services are due and payable as stated on the invoice. Account
balances not paid within payment terms shall be subject to a finance charge of
1½% per month until paid in full (or such lower rate as may be the maximum
permitted by law), together with MCPc’s cost of collection (including
reasonable attorney’s fees). Payments received may be applied by MCPc against
any obligation owed by you to MCPc. MCPc may refuse or delay shipping Products
and/or suspend performing any Services, if you fail to pay timely all amounts
owed to MCPc hereunder. Prices do not include and you shall pay all sales, use,
services, excise, value-added, tariffs, duties or similar taxes or charges
unless you provide MCPc with valid tax exemption certificates. If any such
certificate is held invalid or if the sale is otherwise found to be taxable,
you will promptly pay to MCPc any taxes found due but not collected.
2. Shipping. Products are shipped F.O.B. point of origin.
Title to and risk of loss shall pass upon delivery of Products to carrier.
Unless stated otherwise, you shall pay all freight, handling, delivery, special
packing and insurance charges for shipments of Products. Choice of carrier and
shipping method and route shall be at the election of MCPc. MCPc shall have the
right to deliver all Products covered hereby at one time or in partial
shipments from time to time, within the agreed time for delivery.
3. Acceptance. Upon receipt of Products, you will
inspect and/or test the Products. The Products shall be deemed accepted unless
you provide MCPc, within 10 days of delivery date, notice specifying all
defects or discrepancies in the quality or quantity of Products and a request
for an RMA (defined below). All Services shall be deemed as accepted upon the
performance thereof, unless you provide MCPc, within 10 days of performance, a
written notice specifying all defects or discrepancies in the quality of such
Services.
4. Services. If any Services are performed at Buyer’s
location, you shall provide appropriate computer hardware, software and
communications resources, system and user documentation, office space,
telephone service, copying, and general office supplies and support as
necessary to perform the Services. You acknowledge that MCPc’s performance of
Services is dependent on your timely and effective performance of your
responsibilities and your timely decisions and approvals. MCPc shall, in its
sole discretion, determine the assignment of its personnel for providing the
Services. You shall not, during the performance of the Services and for a
period of twelve (12) months following termination of the Services, solicit the
employment of, employ or contract with MCPc personnel with whom Buyer has had
contact under this Agreement. If you breach this paragraph, you will pay as
liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the sum equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the employee’s annual salary with MCPc. If MCPc waives this
restriction, you will reimburse MCPc’s costs of external recruitment, training
and lost revenues.
5. Warranty. You acknowledge that MCPc acts as a third party
distributor of certain Products and that the manufacturer of such Products
(“Manufacturer”) is solely and directly responsible to you, MCPc and third
parties for all defects, breaches, liability, claims, damages, obligations, and
costs and expenses related to such Products, whether legal or equitable
(“Claims”). You agree to look solely to the Manufacturer of Products for all
Claims whether arising from breaches of the Manufacturer’s warranty or
otherwise and for any maintenance, support, repair or replacement or other
remedy with respect to the Products. MCPc transfers to you any transferable
warranty made to MCPc by the Manufacturer of the Products to the extent
transferable and permitted by law. MCPC MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, COVENANT OR
WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE EXTENT OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER’S
WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY. MCPc does not warrant results or achievements of
Services and MCPc is not responsible for the work or activity of any non-MCPc
employed personnel. MCPC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. MCPc DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT
TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR THE FITNESS OF THE
PRODUCTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE OF CLIENT AS WELL AS ANY EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARISING THROUGH THE USE BY MCPc OF ANY SAMPLES
OR DEMONSTRATIONS, ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF
TRADE.
6. Remedy. MCPc shall have no liability of any kind for an
alleged breach of any warranty if: (i) any software or other Product provided
by MCPc has been modified by you or any third party, unless authorized by MCPc
in writing; (ii) the computer equipment or other Products on which MCPc
installed any software or other Products has been changed, unless authorized by
MCPc in writing; (iii) the computer equipment supplied by you does not have
sufficient capacity, is not in good operating order or is not installed in a
suitable operating environment; (iv) the alleged breach was caused by you or
your agents or other third party; (v) you fail to promptly notify MCPc of the
alleged breach after discovery thereof; or (vi) you have breached any of your
obligations hereunder. Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of any
warranty or representation for which MCPc is responsible shall be, at MCPc’s
option, either (i) to re-perform the Services at MCPc’s cost, or (ii) to refund
the cost relating to any non-conforming Services. No repair, replacement or
re-performance shall extend any warranty period.
7. Limitation of liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL MCPc BE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF MCPc HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL MCPc’s LIABILITY (WHETHER UNDER THE THEORIES OF
BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUD, WARRANTY, STRICT
LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW) EXCEED THE FEES RECEIVED BY
MCPc UNDER THIS INVOICE.
8. Documents. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY DIFFERENT OR ADDITIONAL
TERMS OR CONDITIONS (“BUYER’S TERMS”) CONTAINED IN BUYER’S PURCHASE ORDER OR
OTHER COMMUNICATION RELATING TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (“BUYER’S PO”), MCPC
ACCEPTS BUYER’S PO ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT BUYER EXPRESSLY ACCEPTS AND
ASSENTS TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN. IN THE ABSENCE OF BUYER’S
ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, MCPC’S COMMENCEMENT OF SERVICES OR DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS
SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS MCPC’S ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OF BUYER’S TERMS. ANY
CONFIRMATION BY BUYER SHALL OPERATE AS AN ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THIS INVOICE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY
BUYER’S TERMS WHICH MCPC HEREBY OBJECTS TO AND REJECTS. ANY NOTICE BY BUYER
OBJECTING TO THESE TERMS MUST BE IN A WRITING SEPARATE FROM ANY FORM PURCHASE
ORDER, MUST SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE BY NUMBER AND SENTENCE THE TERM(S) OBJECTED
TO, AND MUST BE SIGNED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF BUYER CAPABLE OF LEGALLY BINDING
BUYER. MCPC’S FAILURE TO OBJECT SPECIFICALLY TO PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ANY
COMMUNICATION FROM BUYER SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE PROVISIONS
CONTAINED IN THIS INVOICE.
9. Returns. You may only return Products in accordance with
the Manufacturer’s return policy and/or with a valid Return Material
Authorization number (“RMA”) from MCPc’s Returns Department. To request an RMA,
contact the MCPc Returns Department at returns@MCPc.com, by phone at
866-291-7867 or by fax at 440-876-1958 or 440-876-1962. Products not returnable
under a Manufacturer’s return policy or which are customized for you, are
non-returnable. Products returned without an RMA or beyond the RMA return
period (generally 14 days) may be refused and no credit may be issued
therefore. If MCPc accepts your RMA request, MCPc will notify you of the
returns process (generally by e-mail) and may issue Authorized Return Service
Labels (generally by e-mail or regular mail) to facilitate the return. MCPc
will generally inspect and process your return within 10 days of receipt
thereof, and reserves the right to cancel the return upon inspection. Return
Products must be shipped prepaid by you. MCPc may cover return shipping
expenses if, in MCPc’s sole discretion, MCPc determines the return is due to
MCPc’s error. If MCPc elects to exchange, repair or replace a returned Product,
MCPc will match your return shipping priority. MCPc is not responsible for any
claim due to shipping damage. You should pursue shipping damage claims with the
carrier directly. MCPc may assist you in handling shipping damage claims with
the carrier if you notify MCPc of such damage within 10 days of receipt of the
damaged Product. Supply items: depending upon Manufacturer terms, certain
sealed supply Products may be returned up to 90 days from delivery, and certain
defective supply Products may be returned up to 30 days from delivery. See
Manufacturer terms and www.mcpc.com for applicability. All credit invoices
expire 180 days from the date of issuance.
10. Cancellation. You may not cancel a purchase
order without MCPc’s prior written consent. For any purchase order so
cancelled, you will be responsible for, and will pay to MCPc: (i) any expenses
incurred by MCPc in modifying, adapting or creating any special order Products;
(ii) in MCPc’s sole discretion, a restocking fee and reasonable cancellation
charges (in an amount not less than 15% of the cancelled order); and (iii) any
extra costs incurred by MCPc to meet your request for cancellation.
11. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay
or failure in delivery or performance, other than the payment of money, due to
causes beyond its reasonable control, which causes shall include, without
limitation, force majeure, acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities,
fire, strikes, power surges or outages, epidemics, flood, natural disasters,
riot, war, delays in transportation or inability to obtain necessary labor,
materials or supplies. In the event of any delay, the set date(s) of delivery
and performance, if any, shall be extended for a reasonable period, or, at
MCPc’s option, cancelled.
12. Miscellaneous. If any term or provision herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such term or provision shall not affect the other terms or provisions hereof, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary in the court’s opinion to render such term or provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and the agreements of the Parties. All transactions between MCPc and you shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Ohio without application of its conflict of laws principles. Any suit relating to such transactions shall be instituted exclusively in any state or federal court in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and the Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court. Each Party is an independent contractor and the Parties shall not have the authority to bind, represent or commit the other. MCPc may use Buyer’s name in its resumes or its client list. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a joint venture, partnership or agency relationship between the Parties for any purpose. The waiver by MCPc of any breach or default herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any later breach or default of the same nature or of any other breach or default. The exercise or failure to exercise any remedy shall not preclude the exercise of that remedy at another time or of any other remedy at any time. The terms relating to sections 1, 2, 4-7 and 9-11 shall survive termination of Buyer’s relationship with MCPc for any reason.
