  1. DELIVERY. The quoted delivery date is our best estimate based upon present scheduling requirements and may be deviated from, without liability, by a reasonably longer period at Seller’s discretion due to manufacturing contingencies. Seller shall not be liable for failure to deliver on any specific date or dates or within any specific period of time in the event of hardship or causes beyond its control including, but not limited to, acts of God or the public enemy, government orders, restrictions or priorities, fires, floods, strikes, or other work stoppages, accidents, catastrophes, war conditions, riot or civil commotion, labor, material and/or transportation shortages, legal interferences or prohibitions, embargoes, defaults or delays of subcontractors and suppliers, or similar or different causes which render performance or timely delivery difficult or impossible; and, in such event Seller shall not incur or be subject to any liability whatsoever. Buyer shall not by reason of any such cause, have any right of cancellation, nor any right to suspend, delay or otherwise prevent Seller from manufacturing, shipping or storing for Buyer’s account any material or other goods purchased hereunder, nor to withhold payment therefore. Buyer’s acceptance of delivery shall constitute a waiver of any claim for delay.

If goods ready for shipment on or after the scheduled delivery date cannot be shipped because of Buyer’s request or for any other reason beyond Seller’s control, payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after Buyer has been notified that the same are ready for shipment, unless otherwise agreed in writing between Buyer and Seller.
