TERMS OF SALE - RETAILER

THESE TERMS are incorporated by reference into all  sales orders between Gen-D (dba XMagnet.com) and Retail Merchant (Merchant) on paper or electronically through the internet, or in the absence of such are incorporated by reference into any and all transactions by which Merchant acquires goods from Gen-D. 

ORDERS
 
Orders. Merchant will order Goods by written or electronic notice to Gen-D. Gen-D may in its sole discretion decline to accept any order. Each order will specify the number of goods to be shipped, the type of goods to be shipped, and the desired method of shipment.  Gen-D for clarification may insert into orders clarifications such as the descriptions,  reference numbers or characteristics. Merchant agrees to be bound by such details as though they were contained in the orders at the time Merchant submitted them. The making of an order, or the offering of the making of an order, whether or not accepted by Gen-D, binds Gen-D and Merchant to these terms.

Acceptance. An order from Merchant will be considered accepted by Gen-D when acknowledgment of receipt of the order is given by Gen-D to Merchant, or if no acknowledgment is given then when shipment is made.

Cancellation.  An order from Merchant that is accepted by Gen-D may be canceled by Merchant without the written approval of Gen-D.

Minimum. Minimum invoice value is the minimum order quantity stated in the Product Catalog or on the Merchant area of the website on the date of any order.

Size. Orders will be in standard package quantities as time to time set for each product by Gen-D per the Retail Packaging Conventions posted on this website.

Resale to Consumers Only. A Merchant is authorized to purchase the products only for resale directly to consumers.

Assortment.  All sales are made in assorted sizes, logos, name brands, colors, materials, cloth brand labels, and artwork, unless specifically otherwise specified on the order and agreed to in writing by Gen-D.  If a specific brand line is ordered, these assortments will occur within that one line. Photo art subject matter, coloration and position may vary from those shown by sales representatives, literature, or on this website. Artwork coloration, size, game scenes, game and characters, subject matter, and position will vary according to Gen-D’s sole artistic judgment. Gen-D does not assign separate UPCs for different colors; colors are always assorted.

PRICING

Pricing of Goods to Merchant.  Merchant will pay Gen-D for goods according to the pricing in effect between Gen-D and Merchant at the time Merchant’s order is accepted by Gen-D. All prices stated are F.O.B. shipping point. Merchant will bear all costs of transportation and insurance and will promptly reimburse Gen-D if Gen-D in its sole discretion pays for such expenses.

List Price. The list price of the goods will be as from time to time stated in the Product Catalog, posted on this website, or as otherwise noted in writing between the parties. Gen-D will endeavor to give Merchant advance notice of price changes.

Right of Sale. Merchant will not sell at retail venues other than those operated by Merchant.

PACKAGING

Packaging. Goods are packaged by Gen-D in the manner from time to time stated in product catalogs or as posted in “Retail Packaging Conventions” on www.XMagnet.com.

DELIVERY

Shipment. All shipments of goods will be made F.O.B. shipping point and liability for loss or damage in transit, or thereafter, will pass to Merchant upon Gen-D's delivery of goods to a common carrier for shipment. Shipping dates are approximate and are based, to a great extent, on prompt receipt by Gen-D of all necessary ordering information from Merchant. Gen-D agrees to ship goods to Merchant as close as possible to the delivery schedule set forth in each order as accepted by Gen-D, unless Gen-D otherwise indicates in writing. Gen-D will make every effort to, but will not be liable for failure to, honor any order which: (a) specifies a shipping date earlier than Gen-D's then current delivery schedule for the date such order is received by Gen-D and/or (b) specifies a quantity to be delivered in any one month within the current delivery schedule which is greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the total quantity shipped in the preceding sixty (60) day period.

Taxes. Prices do not include any federal, state or local taxes which might be applicable to the goods sold under these terms. In any international sales, applicable import and export taxes and duties will be for the account of Merchant. An amount equal to the appropriate taxes will be added to the invoice by Gen-D where Gen-D has the legal obligation to collect such taxes. Merchant will pay such amount to Gen-D unless Merchant provides Gen-D with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Any gross receipts taxes assessable by Merchant’s state in lieu of sales taxes will be for the account of Merchant.

Title to Goods. Gen-D hereby reserves a purchase money security interest in the goods sold or to be sold under this contract and in the proceeds thereof, if Merchant will have sold the goods to another party prior to Merchant paying Gen-D. These interests will be satisfied by payment in full. A copy of these terms may be filed with the appropriate authorities at any time after the signature by Gen-D as a financing statement in order to perfect Gen-D's security interest. On the request of Gen-D, Merchant will execute UCC financing statement(s) and other instruments Gen-D will desire to perfect a security interest in the goods for its purchase price, and Merchant appoints Gen-D its attorney-in-fact to execute such instruments.

Goods Acceptance. The goods will be deemed accepted by Merchant if at the time of delivery Merchant does not report to Gen-D in writing that the goods do not conform to the product description on order.

Delays in Delivery; Force Majeure. Gen-D will not be liable for or in default of these terms by reason of any delay attributable to any cause, circumstance, or contingency beyond its control or the control of its suppliers or Gen-D’s which prevents or impedes manufacture, supply, or delivery to Merchant by Gen-D whether directly or indirectly. Such causes, circumstances, and contingencies will include, but not be limited to: inability to obtain material, supplies or services in the normal course of business; accidents; fire; explosion; strikes, lockouts, or other labor problems; freight embargo; gas or petroleum product shortage or embargo; act of God or of the public enemy; war; unusual general economic fluctuations or events; bank failures; terrorist attacks and disruptions caused thereby or the government in response thereto; riots; civil disturbance; act of any government, de jure or de facto, or agency or official thereof; material or labor shortage; transportation contingencies; unusually severe weather; default of any other Gen-D or a supplier or subcontractor; quarantine, restriction, epidemic; catastrophe; restraints affecting shipment or credit; non-arrival or delay of carriers; lack of timely instructions or essential information from Merchant; inadequate or reduced supply or excessive cost of suitable raw materials, transportation or production facilities; or otherwise arising out of causes beyond the reasonable control of Gen-D. Nor will Gen-D at any time be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages. Gen-D will not be liable for fines, penalties, damages or offsets arising out of or relating to illegible, unscannable, or unworkable UPC bar codes on goods. Delays in delivery attendant to same will not entitle Merchant to terminate these terms, declare a default on these terms, fail to honor any order, or collect damages for same. In the event of such default or delay, the date for shipment will be extended correspondingly. Gen-D may make delivery on an equitable basis with reference to all its Merchants and buyers. No orders may be canceled unless acceptable to Gen-D. If payment is to be made by letter of credit and if the letter of credit should expire prior to the date of completion of the products, Merchant will extend the letter of credit promptly on terms acceptable to Gen-D, or will otherwise assure full and prompt payment in a manner acceptable to Gen-D.
