IX. TRANSPORTATION:

Since our terms of sale are F.O.B. point of shipment, title passes to the consignee when the shipment is tendered to the freight carrier. If damage is incurred on a shipment while in transit, it becomes the consignee's responsibility to file claim with the carrier. In order to properly file a claim with the freight carrier, it is extremely important the following four steps be followed:

Consignee should inspect all packages and contents for any damage upon arrival.
Visual damage to shipping container / contents must be noted on carrier's freight bill.
Carrier inspection must be requested immediately as carrier responsibility for concealed damage expires 15 days after delivery.
Contents must be retained in original shipping container, pending disposition, and BUFFALO ABRASIVES, INC. should be informed of any damage.

X. TRIAL WHEEL POLICY:

Purchase orders are required and full payment is expected on all trial orders. Under certain conditions, no-charge trial orders will be accepted provided approval has been granted prior to order entry. Trials will be invoiced on the basis of the quantity normally ordered. Trials proving only partially satisfactory will be credited on the basis of performance. If the product is reported to be partially or totally unsatisfactory, a trial report form must be completed before a credit will be issued.

XI. RETURN GOODS POLICY:

No material may be returned to BUFFALO ABRASIVES, INC. under any circumstances without assignment of a returned goods authorization (RGA) number. Special made to order products are generally not returnable. Standard products may be returned providing they were manufactured within 24 months of the return date and are in the original undamaged packages. Unless otherwise agreed to, all costs of transportation incurred are the responsibility of the party returning the material. No C.O.D. or unauthorized returns will be accepted. All returned goods accepted for credit are subject to a minimum 15% restocking charge.

XII. ORDER CANCELLATIONS:
