Identification required from all purchasers. This precaution is taken to protect you - our customer.
PRICES: A price quotation, either verbal or written, on any given item is subject to change if the R.E. Michel Company’s cost for such item is increased prior to the customer’s receipt of the item. When such an increase does occur, the R.E. Michel Company will notify the customer and give the option of accepting delivery at the new price or cancelling the order for that item without penalty. The customer’s right of cancellation applies only to the particular item so affected and not to the whole order of which the item may be a part .
NEW ACCOUNTS: Open account terms will be extended to qualified customers upon receipt and review of a completed, signed credit application (included in catalog available at any R.E. Michel Company location and at www.remichel.com). Any assigned credit limit is subject to review and may be adjusted based on account condition and other factors solely at the discretion of R.E. Michel Credit Department.
TERMS: C.O.D. unless approved for open account by the R.E. Michel Company credit department, then “Net 10th Prox”. In other words, payment is due by the 10th of the month following the invoice date. Any other payment terms quoted, offered or otherwise discussed must be approved in advance by the R.E. Michel Company Credit Department and then duly noted on the front of the invoice.
SERVICE CHARGES: Late payment charges calculated at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% annual) will be assessed upon any open balance, unpaid and beyond the due date, as of the 20th of the month in which it became due. The percentage may be amended from time to time. Failure to pay overdue balances, balances exceed- ing the credit limit and/or failure to pay earned service charges may delay ship- ment or delivery of product or services. If an unpaid balance is referred to an attorney or a collection agency, the customer agrees to pay collection fees equal to 25% of the amount placed, plus court costs and other reasonable
attorney fees. In the event of a lawsuit, venue will be in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
