If Client’s purchase order or other correspondence contains terms or conditions contrary to or in addition to the terms and conditions contained herein, acceptance of any order by DRF shall not be construed as an assent to such contrary or additional terms and conditions, or constitute a waiver by DRF of any of the terms and conditions stated herein.

Any reference to Client’s purchase order by DRF shall not affect or limit the applicability of the terms and conditions contained herein.

The Client has the sole recourse of rejecting or accepting the subsequently modified quote or proposal.

Taxes

Any tax which DRF may be required to pay or collect through assessment or otherwise under any existing or future law upon or with respect to the sale, purchase, delivery, transportation, storage, processing, use, or consumption of any goods or services described herein, including without limitation, taxes upon or measured by the receipts from sales or services, shall be for the account of Client and may be added to the price of such goods or services.

Credit

All orders are subject to the approval of DRF’s credit department.

Default in Payment

Damaged Goods

If any goods arrive at Client’s destination in a damaged condition or a shortage occurs, Client shall immediately report the damage or shortage to the delivering carrier and to DRF.

Assignment
