Last Updated: January 28, 2026 Entire Agreement
These AMSOIL INC. ("Seller") Terms and Conditions of Sale (the "Terms"), together with any additional written commercial or sales terms included in any Seller document relating to the sale of Seller's products to Buyer (the "Product[s]") (collectively, the "Sales Terms"), contain the entire and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding the sale of all Products.
The Terms, together with the Sales Terms (if any) are referred to herein as the "Contract." If there is a conflict between the Terms and the Sales Terms, the Sales Terms shall govern. All terms and conditions contained in any prior or subsequent oral or written communication or other document concerning the sale of Products to which this Contract relates, including, without limitation, terms and conditions contained in Buyer's Purchase Order or in any Buyer request for proposal, delivery receipt, acknowledgment, payment, or other sale document are hereby rejected and shall not be binding upon Seller and do not govern this Contract. This Contract may not be amended except in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Seller. Buyer's acceptance of any Product constitutes acceptance of these Terms regardless of whether Buyer issues a separate purchase order or acknowledgment containing additional or conflicting terms.
Firm Purchase Orders and Price
All Buyer purchase orders or other orders for Products in whatever form communicated to Seller ("POs") are deemed firm immediately upon receipt and acceptance by Seller and may not be cancelled or modified by Buyer at any time thereafter except in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Seller. Upon receipt of any PO, Seller shall have the option to accept, reject, or modify any terms, including, without limitation, price, volume, and delivery dates. Buyer will not have any recourse against Seller (and Seller will not be liable to Buyer whatsoever) in the event Seller modifies or does not accept all or any part of the PO. Any delivery dates specified in any PO or Seller's Contract are estimates only. All prices are quoted and paid in U.S. dollars only. The price for Product shall initially be the price set forth in the Contract and shall otherwise be the Seller's published retail price in effect on the date of shipment unless otherwise agreed by Seller in advance and in writing. Seller may adjust the price of any Product upon prior notice to Buyer and such adjustment is deemed to be a modification under Section 3.
Acceptance of Purchase Orders
Buyer is bound by Seller's Contract with respect to each PO upon the earliest to occur of the following: (a) Seller's written acceptance of a PO; (b) Seller's issuance of a PO Acknowledgment, email confirmation, or other commercially reasonable sales confirmation; (c) any action by Seller in furtherance of the sale of any Product in a PO, including, Seller undertaking to fill the PO; or (d) with respect to a PO modified by Seller: (i) one (1) business day after Seller's issuance of a modification to Buyer's PO, or (ii) any action by Buyer in furtherance of the purchase of the affected Product, including, confirming the PO or providing delivery instructions. Seller's modification of any term in Buyer's PO constitutes a counteroffer accepted by Buyer's continued performance or silence. Buyer's acceptance of Seller's Contract is deemed irrevocable, and Seller and Buyer are bound by all terms of the Contract, including, Seller's price.
If Seller agrees, in its discretion, to accept the cancellation of any Contract or portion of a Contract, or the return of any Product (except returns arising from for a valid breach of Limited Warranty claim), such cancellation shall be on terms approved by Seller in advance and in writing, and Buyer shall compensate Seller for all reasonable costs and damages resulting therefrom, including, but not limited to, costs of return transportation and insurance, out-of-pocket costs, lost profits, restocking fees, and any other fees and charges incurred by Seller or Seller's suppliers.
Delivery
All Products delivered within the United States and its territories are delivered TERMS FOB Seller's loading dock, Superior, Wisconsin, or such other location specified by Seller in the Contract. As to international deliveries, all Products are delivered EXW (Ex Works) (INCOTERMS 2020) Seller's loading dock, Superior, Wisconsin. Time is not of the essence. Buyer is liable for all costs of transportation and insurance. Title to Products shall remain with Seller until Seller receives full payment of all amounts due for such Products, and Buyer hereby grants Seller a purchase money security interest in the Products and their proceeds.
Payment; Taxes; Expenses
Payment for the full amount of each invoice is due and payable upon the earlier of (a) delivery of the Products, or (b) receipt of Seller's invoice for Products, regardless of whether such delivery or invoice includes all, or only some, of the Products included in any PO. Payment shall be made to Seller, addressed as indicated on Seller's invoice, in accordance with the Contract. In addition to Seller's price, Buyer shall pay Seller (a) costs of transportation and insurance incurred by Seller, if requested by Buyer and advanced by Seller in Seller's discretion, and any other cost arising from the sale, and (b) all governmental taxes, charges or duties of every kind that Seller may be required to collect or pay upon sale, transfer or shipment of Product ("Tax"), except to the extent Buyer furnishes to Seller a properly completed exemption certificate applicable to such Tax.
Buyer's Duty to Inspect
Buyer shall inspect all Products immediately upon receipt at the destination designated in the shipping documents. Product receipt is confirmed or stated in tracking information provided by a common carrier or similar service and may not be disputed by Buyer. Buyer must inspect such Products and notify Seller in writing of any claims for all defects (including patent and latent defects), nonconformities, shortages, damages, or other errors within two (2) business days after receipt at the destination designated for such Products. Buyer's failure to perform the inspection or provide written notice of any claims within such two (2)-business day timeframe constitutes irrevocable and unqualified acceptance of such Products and a waiver of all claims relating to such Products, except claims arising under the Limited Warranty. Upon receipt of any claim within such timeframe,(a) as to claims for shortages, the Buyer and Seller shall investigate and determine whether the claim is valid, and if so, at Seller's option, Seller shall deliver the Product shortfall or adjust the price accordingly; and (b) with respect to all other claims, Seller shall have a reasonable period of time to inspect the Products to determine whether it is a valid claim within the scope of Seller's Limited Warranty hereunder, in which case the provisions of Sections 10-14 of these Terms shall govern. All other claims are the sole responsibility of Buyer.
Late Payment; Breach; Termination
In the event Buyer fails to pay any amount when due, Seller shall be permitted to charge interest on the overdue amount at the lesser of 2% per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Seller may recover from Buyer all collection costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in enforcing payment or collecting any delinquent account.
If (a) Buyer fails to pay any amount when due and the default continues for a period of ten (10) days thereafter, or (b) either party fails to perform any other material obligation under the Contract, and the breaching party fails to cure or take reasonable steps to cure the breach within sixty (60) days after receipt of the nonbreaching party's written notice of specific violations and opportunity to cure, the nonbreaching party may terminate the Contract and recover its damages, subject to the provisions of Sections 10-14 of these Terms. Seller is permitted to terminate immediately upon Buyer's default under Section 7. (a).
In addition to the foregoing remedies, beginning the date of breach and continuing until the breach is cured (or the Contract terminated by Seller), Seller may exercise any or all of the following remedies:
- delay any further shipments or other performance under the Contract,
- require cash or satisfactory security, require full or partial payment in advance, and adjust payment terms,
- Charge Buyer for Seller's cost of procuring or manufacturing raw materials, supplies, finished goods, and safety stock in preparation for orders placed by Buyer under the Contract,
- Cancel all rebates and apply to the Buyer's unpaid balance all credits and payments due and owing to Buyer,
- Recover from Buyer all damages, costs, and expenses incurred by Seller, and
- If Buyer cures, reschedule deliveries at Seller's convenience.
In addition to all Seller's other remedies under the Contract, in the event of Buyer's breach or threatened breach of the Contract or of any legal duty owed to Seller (whether arising in contract, tort, or under any statute or other legal theory), Buyer shall pay Seller's attorney fees, costs, and disbursements, as and when incurred, regardless of whether a lawsuit is commenced. All remedies herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies available at law, by contract or in equity, subject to the provisions of Sections 10-14 of these Terms.
Force Majeure
Seller shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, labor disputes, war, terrorism, governmental actions, pandemics, supply interruptions, or transportation delays. Seller will notify Buyer of any such event and use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. Buyer's payment obligations for Products delivered or unaffected by such event shall remain in full force.
Buyer's Compliance with SDS, Other Product Information, and Laws
Seller may provide or make available to Buyer a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each Product and may supplement Product information from time to time. The SDS and other information may contain Product information, safety and health information, the disclosure of risks associated with the Products, and instructions regarding the use or handling of the Products. Buyer is solely responsible for complying with all instructions contained in the SDS and other information, including all terms and recommendations regarding the use, filtration, testing, maintenance, and replacement of the Products, if any, and for providing such information and related training to its employees, customers, and other third parties that may use or handle the Products. Buyer shall maintain complete and accurate records of all Product distribution sufficient to trace resale or end use.
BUYER ASSUMES FULL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE SDS AND OTHER PRODUCT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY SELLER AND TO ENSURE NO MISUSE OR CONTAMINATION OF PRODUCTS, OR MIXING OF THE PRODUCTS WITH OTHER LUBRICANTS. BUYER SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LAWS AND THE REGULATIONS OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY, RELATING TO OR GOVERNING THE PURCHASE, SALE, LABELING, TRANSPORTATION, USE, AND DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT, THE ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROVISIONS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT AND BANK SECRECY ACT, U.S. EXPORT CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
Limited Warranty and Seller's Certificate of Analysis.
Seller warrants that each Product shall, at the time of delivery, (a) conform to Seller's written specifications or Certificate of Analysis in effect for that Product, and (b) be free from defects in material and workmanship that materially impair the Product's intended use, provided the Product is used, stored, and maintained in accordance with Seller's published recommendations, written approvals, or applicable SDS.
This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser and is not transferable. If Seller determines, in its sole discretion, that a Product does not conform to this limited warranty, Seller's sole obligation and Buyer's exclusive remedy shall be, at Seller's option, to (i) replace the nonconforming Product at no charge, or (ii) refund or credit the purchase price paid for the affected Product.
Except as expressly provided above, Seller makes no other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, and disclaims all warranties arising from course of dealing, usage of trade, or Buyer's sales documents. No performance data, technical advice, or recommendations provided by Seller shall constitute a warranty or create any obligation beyond the terms stated herein. A copy of Seller's full limited warranty, including claims handling procedures, is available upon request.
Buyer's Assumption of Liability
Buyer assumes all risk and liability in connection with determining the suitability of the Products for Buyer's intended use and operating conditions. Buyer agrees to test, evaluate samples, and perform all other quality protocols necessary or advisable from time to time to ensure compliance with Buyer's specifications, quality standards, and other requirements. Prior to using or permitting the use of any Products, Buyer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Products for the Buyer's intended use under Buyer's operating conditions. Buyer assumes all risk and liability in connection with the storage, handling, use, misuse, mixing, contamination, removal, and disposal of the Products. Buyer assumes all liability for and agrees to: (a) defend Seller from and against, all claims Buyer has or may claim to have arising from or relating in any manner to the Products from and after delivery thereof, regardless of the cause (except claims for shortages and valid claims under the Limited Warranty), and (b) defend, indemnify, and hold Seller harmless from all third-party claims arising from or relating in any manner to the Products or their use at any time, regardless of the cause.
