are independent entities, where Buyer is purchasing Product
from B.C.V. Inc. for its use or for resale when so permitted.
If Buyer is otherwise authorized by B.C.V. to sell and distribute
a Product, B.C.V. hereby grants Buyer a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
no assignable and limited right to distribute, market and
sell such Product to consumers. Buyer shall not sell, transfer
or otherwise provide any Product to another for resell without
the prior, written authorization of B.C.V. Inc. B.C.V. Inc.
reserves the right to sell and to authorize other entities
to sell such Product through all means and channels of distribution
and in competition with Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that it
has no authority to bind or contract in the name or for
the account of B.C.V. Inc., to create any liability against
B.C.V. Inc. or to exert and direction or control over B.C.V.
Inc’s personnel.
3. Order and Delivery of a Product. Buyer shall
bear all risk and expense for delivery of Product,
including without limitation, shipping, loading, unloading,
storage, freight, and insurance. A Product may be shipped
to Buyer in whole or in part and will be shipped F.O.B.

specified on the face of the invoice. Title to a Product
shall pass to Buyer, when delivered to the carrier, even
if the Product is shipped freight prepaid, unless otherwise
specified on the face of the invoice. Among other things,
a signed delivery receipt or bill of lading will constitute
proof of delivery. The choice of carrier is made solely
at the discretion of Buyer, and B.C.V. Inc. makes
no representation as to the acceptability of a particular
carrier. Except when B.C.V. Inc. expressly publishes Special
Offers or otherwise agrees in writing, B.C.V. does
not guarantee shipment or delivery by a certain date or
time although B.C.V. Inc. will strive to deliver a Product
by the date that it may communicate to Buyer. B.C.V.
Inc. shall not be liable to Buyer, or any other person,
for any loss or damage of any kind which results from
delay in shipment, delivery, or failure to give notice of

or Product returned to B.C.V. Inc. unless done so in accordance
with B.C.V.’s Cancellation/Return Policy. Orders for standard
Products may be canceled prior to shipment provided that
B.C.V. Inc. has not had to order or purchase the product
and receives proper notice from Buyer and approves the cancellation,
assigning a cancellation number. Special orders, orders
for non-standard product, and orders where the Product is
cut., altered, or prepared at the request of Buyer may not

possession of the Product and verifies the Product with
an approved Return Goods Authorization. BCV RESERVES THE
RIGHT NOT TO CANCEL ANY ORDER AT ANYTIME FOR ANY REASON.
5. Product Variance & Compliance. Each Product shall
be deemed to be without defect and in conformity with its
specifications and the terms of the Sales Agreement even
though reasonable variances may exist. Buyer acknowledges
that it is an accepted standard in the industry that for
a Product and among products (i) color variations exist
between dye lots, stains, pieces of wood, etc.; (ii) natural
characteristics exist (i.e., wood Products may have mineral
streaks, knots or grain variations): (iii) cut and measurement
variances occur (i.e., a Product’s actual sizing may vary
by as much as ten (10%) from measurements stated on a final
order description); and (iv) shrinkage, separation, expansion
and warping occur, even when the Product is properly installed
(i.e., a wood Product may expand or contract due to seasonal
and temperature changes, thereby creating separation between
boards). As a result, B.C.V. Inc. cannot and does not guarantee
that a Product or Products, whether in whole or in part,
will exactly match in specification, color, character, form,
cut, fit or otherwise. And Buyer acknowledges that reasonable
variance, including (without limitation) those stated herein,
are permissible. Additionally, B.C.V. Inc. shall have no
liability if a Product does not conform to any applicable
state, county or local ordinance, as the conformity of a
Product to each state, county and local ordinance is the
sole responsibility of the Buyer. B.C.V. Inc. reserves the
right to change its Products and components of its Products
(i.e., backing, yarn system, etc.) without prior notice,
although in circumstances where an order from Buyer has
been accepted by B.C.V. Inc. B.C.V. Inc. will use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that such change will not affect
Product performance in a materially adverse manner. All
sales are final. There are no deductions or chargebacks
allowed for any reason.
6. Electronic, programing or listing B.C.V. reserves
the right to cancel any order or offer the material at the
the B.C.V. approved price in any case where the price listed
is incorrect or the freight was incorrectly calculated,
or the stock is or was depleted.
7. Taxes. Buyer assumes exclusive liability for any
and all taxes, tariffs, fees, duties, withholdings or like
charges, whether domestic or foreign, now imposed or hereafter
becoming effective (“Taxes”) related to the Product and
its purchases from B.C.V. Inc. (other than those based on
the net income of B.C.V. Inc. ), including without limitation,
federal, provincial, state and local taxes, value-added
taxes, goods and services taxes, stamp, documentary, excise
or property taxes, duties and other governmental charges.
8. Limited Warranty. Provided that a Product is not
altered or damaged by someone other than B.C.V. Inc., and
for up to one year from the date that B.C.V. Inc. ships
the Product to Buyer, B.C.V. Inc. hereby warrants that such
Product (other than Promotional or Irregular Goods, as described
below) shall (i) conform to B.C.V. Inc.’s published specifications
and generally released consumer/end-user limited warranty
coverage terms, subject to reasonable variations, manufacturing
tolerances, the occurrence of non-material or minor separations
and appearance deviations, and (ii) for authorized resellers
of B.C.V. Inc., shall be merchantable for ordinary purposes
for which such Product is intended to be used. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, once a Product has been installed, such Product
is deemed accepted by Buyer and no warranty shall apply
for color, characteristics, cut, fit or appearance related
claims.
As Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the
above warranty and at B.C.V. Inc.’s sole discretion. B.C.V.
Inc. will either replace or repair a Product that does not
conform to an applicable B.C.V. warranty; provided, however,
that B.C.V. Inc. shall not be responsible to replace or
repair a Product which has been damaged or altered by Buyer
or its customers. With respect to a Product sold as “Promotional”
or “irregular” Goods by B.C.V. Inc., including, without
limitation, drops, discontinued items, specials, closeouts,
seconds or the like, such Product is sold to Buyer “AS IS/WHERE
IS” without any warranty of any kind except as otherwise
expressly agreed to or published by B.C.V. EXCEPT AS SET
FORTH ABOVE AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
B.C.V. INC. MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES FOR A PRODUCT OR UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF WITNESS FOR

a warranted Product is defective, such persons should return
the Product to the dealer or installer from whom they purchased
the Product for inspection and consideration as to warranty
coverage (including possible replacement). All Buyers must

or statutory period, complete and specific itemized detail
of all claims in warranty or at law that such Buyer may

to the failure of any payment sent or made by Buyer to be
honored or to satisfy the requirement of this Agreement;

intellectual property rights based upon B.C.V. Inc.’s incorporation
of any designs, formulas or specifications in a Product
where such designs, formulas or specifications have been
specifically ordered or requested by Buyer. To the maximum
extent allowable under applicable law and excluding those
liabilities that by law B.C.V. Inc. cannot limit or disclaim,

of use of the Product, loss resulting from improper storage,

cost of any substitute Product or related equipment, even

damages.

a Sale Agreement in whole or in part at any time by giving
oral or written notice of such to Buyer. Cancellation or
