Mundial, Inc. Terms of Sale ("Terms of Sale")
Credit Applications
MUNDIAL, INC. ("MUNDIAL") reserves the right to extend or withhold lines of open account credit based on the customer's ("Customer's") payment history, record of trade payments, financial condition, amount of credit needed, and such other factors as MUNDIAL in its sole discretion deems appropriate. MUNDIAL may require Customer to provide financial, credit and other similar information (e.g., Dun & Bradstreet or Business Products Credit Association) for the establishment or continuation of credit. MUNDIAL may also require personal guarantees and/or other security interests. All orders are subject to credit approval by MUNDIAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by MUNDIAL, MUNDIAL may in its sole discretion at any time, change the terms of Customer's credit, require payment in cash, wire transfer or official bank check and/or require payment of any or all amounts due or to become due for Customer's order at or before shipment of any or all ordered products.
Inquiries about credit requirements should be addressed to MUNDIAL INC., 3941 Park Drive., Ste. 20-439, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762.
Resale Certificates
In order to comply with state and local sales tax law requirements, Customer must provide to MUNDIAL properly executed resale certificate exemption form(s) for all states where Customer is registered for sales tax purposes. If any tax free purchase under Customer's resale certificate(s) is used in any manner that would not exempt the sale from tax, Customer will be responsible for either paying the tax due directly to the proper taxing authority when the applicable state law so provides or informing MUNDIAL for added tax billing. Resellers withdrawing items from stock for personal consumption are responsible for self-assessing use tax in accordance with applicable state law.
Separate resale certificate exemption form(s) must be provided for each of Customer's legal entities that does business with MUNDIAL. The forms must identify Customer's legal entity information as registered for tax purposes, Customer's federal employer identification number, and any names utilized as "doing business as" (DBA) names. Customer's state resale registration number(s) should be listed for every state in which Customer is registered for sales tax purposes. The form must have an authorized signature and be dated to be effective. MUNDIAL will set up separate bill-to account numbers on its system for purchases by each of Customer's legal entities.
Past Due Accounts
- If MUNDIAL believes in good faith that Customer's ability to make payments may be impaired or if Customer fails to pay any invoice when due, MUNDIAL may suspend delivery of any order or any remaining balance thereof until such payment is made or may cancel any order or any remaining balance thereof, and Customer will remain liable to pay for any products already shipped or any "not listed" or other products specially ordered by MUNDIAL for Customer.
- MUNDIAL will charge Customer interest up to the maximum permitted by law on all past due amounts until paid in full.
- If Customer fails to make payment when due, MUNDIAL may pursue any legal or equitable remedies, and MUNDIAL will be entitled to reimbursement from Customer for all collection costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by MUNDIAL. MUNDIAL will assess a service charge of $50.00 on any returned checks.
Pricing
- MUNDIAL may adjust its prices at any time in light of manufacturer price increases, changes in transportation, administration, warehousing or other expenses, or other market factors.
- MUNDIAL reserves the right to correct errors in price and quantity appearing in any document or electronic transmission with respect to any products.
- MUNDIAL reserves the right to change the terms of its price plans at any time without notice, including, without limitation, changing the identity and number of Products within any price plan, the units of measure in which Products are available for sale thereunder, the Product order quantities at which volume-based unit price reductions are available or other pricing terms and conditions applicable to any Products.
- In order to qualify for any discount, rebate, allowance, freight, or pricing program offered by MUNDIAL, Customer must maintain its account on a current basis and must comply with the other program terms MUNDIAL establishes from time to time.
- All prices are exclusive of sales, use, excise and value-added taxes, any license fees, document fees or import duties and similar taxes, charges or assessments with respect to the sale, handling and delivery of the products, and Customer will be responsible for paying all such taxes, assessments and charges.
Drop Shipments
MUNDIAL offers drop shipment service. Customer may request drop ship service at time of ordering. MUNDIAL will fill and pack Customer's order and ship it to Customer's customer. Shipment can be specified to be made from any of MUNDIAL's distribution points and only Customer's name appears on its customer's label and packing list-MUNDIAL's name does not appear anywhere on the shipment.
As a general rule, the laws of the states where shipments are delivered determine whether sales tax will be due on a drop shipment transaction. In certain states MUNDIAL is required by law to collect sales tax for drop shipments into that state if Customer is not registered there, and the applicable sales tax law provides that Customer's out-of-state resale certificate(s) is not sufficient to exempt the transaction from sales tax.
Merchandise Shipped from Manufacturer
Some items that MUNDIAL does not stock will be shipped directly to Customer from the manufacturer. Allow extra time for delivery of these items. Items shipped directly from the manufacturer cannot be returned except in cases of error by MUNDIAL or the manufacturer. Merchandise shipped from manufacturer is F.O.B. point of shipment. (References in these Terms of Sale to product "manufacturer" mean the product manufacturer or other third party who supplies the product to MUNDIAL.)
Not-Listed (N.L.) Special Order Merchandise
- As an accommodation, MUNDIAL will attempt to obtain merchandise that is not listed on MUNDIAL’S WEBSITE, subject to the following provisions:
- Not listed special order merchandise will be shipped separately. When manufacturer's policy allows, shipments will be made directly from the manufacturer to the customer.
- Customer's order for N.L. merchandise must meet MUNDIAL's and the manufacturer's minimum dollar and/or unit quantity requirements.
- All orders will be invoiced once confirmation of shipment is received.
- Such merchandise is not subject to return except in cases of MUNDIAL's error or that of the manufacturer.
- Such merchandise may be excluded from discounts or rebate calculations.

Disposition of Out-of-Stock Merchandise Orders
Estimated Time of Arrival:
- Check the MUNDIAL’S customer service department for best estimated time of arrival information.
- Estimated time of arrival dates are subject to change based upon revised manufacturer's shipping information.
Customer has the option to back order merchandise. As back ordered merchandise becomes available, backorders are filled oldest to newest.
On occasion MUNDIAL experiences protracted shipping delays from manufacturers. In such cases, back orders automatically will be cancelled after 90 days based on account setup parameters.
There will be no back orders on non-listed merchandise.
In cases of manufacturer product allocation or other product shortages, MUNDIAL reserves the right to reasonably allocate product as it becomes available and to limit quantities purchased. Customers who attempt to circumvent allocations or limits may be denied ordering access.
Transportation
MUNDIAL will use reasonable efforts to initiate shipment promptly after receipt and acceptance of an order (subject to product availability). Any delivery date of products is approximate, is provided by MUNDIAL for the convenience of Customer, and is not binding on MUNDIAL. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by MUNDIAL or otherwise specified in any MUNDIAL price plans or catalog terms, all shipments by MUNDIAL are F.O.B. point of origin. Unless otherwise specified in any MUNDIAL price plan, product prices do not include freight and handling; for all orders, including drop ship, MUNDIAL will bill freight and handling in accordance with the freight plan for which Customer qualifies. Customers shall be responsible for all shipping costs if Customer elects to have products shipped outside of their freight plans or distribution network. Delivery of the products to the designated F.O.B. point of origin carrier will constitute delivery to Customer and risk of loss will thereupon pass to Customer. MUNDIAL reserves the right to make deliveries in installments. Delay in delivery of one installment will not entitle Customer to cancel other installments.

In no event will MUNDIAL be liable for any personal injuries or death arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the manufacture, use, or defect of any such products.
