Such Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of terms and conditions of the sale of products from AMMO to you. No acceptance can be made by AMMO except by the Issuance of its order acknowledgment form. Acceptance by AMMO of your order is expressly made conditional on assent to these Terms and Conditions, either by written acknowledgment or by conduct by you that recognizes the existence of a contract with respect to the products described on AMMO’s quotation or order acknowledgment to which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated in full by this reference. These Terms and Conditions also serve as notice of AMMO’s objection to and rejection of any terms and conditions of purchase or sale included in your purchase order or other writing that are different from or in addition to these Terms and Conditions. Any terms and conditions in your purchase order or other writing that represents your offer are not a part of the agreement and shall not apply and have no legal force and effect.
a. Deliveries: Subject to these Terms and Conditions, AMMO will ship the product as provided on the face of your purchase order (PO). AMMO will make reasonable efforts to conform with delivery dates. But in no event will AMMO be liable for delays resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control. Products furnished by AMMO to you hereunder will be within the limits and of the sizes published by AMMO, but subject to AMMO’s standard tolerances for variations. AMMO reserves the right to ship overages or underages, weight, length, size and/or quantity in accordance with AMMO standard practices. You agree that variation in check weighing by up to 5% is a permissible variation from invoiced weights to account for differences in kind, type, location, accuracy of scales and possible errors of weighers.

If you fail to pay any invoice when due, or if the financial condition or credit of you as buyer becomes unsatisfactory to AMMO, at its option and without affecting any other lawful remedy available, AMMO may change the terms of payment or suspend work and further deliveries, or both, until you provide security or other assurances of performance as demanded by AMMO, and a finance charge of 1.5% per month (or 0.05% per day) will automatically become applicable. The failure or refusal to provide such security or assurances within 5 business days after a request by AMMO will constitute a repudiation by you of the entire Agreement.
