2. ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND PO ACCEPTANCE
Where a purchase order (“PO”) is issued by a customer, pursuant to these Terms, acceptance of the PO is subject to written acknowledgment by Southwire but may occur by performance by Southwire. Acceptance of the PO constitutes a legally binding agreement, and customer agrees to these Terms and any terms of the applicable order acknowledgment form, if any, except to the extent that the parties have entered into a separate written agreement regarding the subject matter of the applicable PO. Southwire’s failure to insist upon strict performance of these Terms or any terms and conditions specifically negotiated or otherwise applicable to a PO shall not constitute a waiver.
Acceptance of a customer’s PO is based on Southwire providing customer an order acknowledgement form incorporating these Terms. Prices and delivery dates stated on any order acknowledgment form shall prevail in the event of a discrepancy between Southwire and the customer’s submitted PO. Los productos en stock están sujetos a venta previa.
3. PRECIOS
El cliente deberá pagar los precios indicados o reconocidos en el formulario de acuse de recibo del pedido, incluidos todos los impuestos (ventas, uso, impuestos especiales y/u otros incurridos a través de transacciones comerciales), así como los cargos establecidos en los términos y condiciones especiales para un producto específico, y los cargos por embalaje, diseño y especificaciones especiales solicitados por el cliente.
Southwire reserves the right to modify prices for accepted POs upon a material increase in any of such costs, including without limitation, increases in costs of materials and/or labor, tariffs and/or regulatory fees. Prices are subject to adjustment without notice to conform to prices in effect on the date of order shipment and apply only to the specific product ordered.
4. PAGO
A menos que el Departamento de Crédito de Southwire apruebe condiciones crediticias específicas, las condiciones de pago serán en efectivo por adelantado.
Si se aprueba el crédito, a menos que se especifique lo contrario en el acuse de recibo del pedido, el pago vencerá a los treinta (30) días a partir de la fecha de factura. SE AGREGARÁ UN CARGO POR FINANCIAMIENTO DEL 1.5 % POR MES AL SALDO IMPAGO EN TODAS LAS CUENTAS NO PAGADAS EN SU TOTALIDAD A LA FECHA DE VENCIMIENTO O ANTES DE LA MISMA. ESTE CARGO POR FINANCIAMIENTO ES EQUIVALENTE A UNA TASA PORCENTUAL ANUAL DEL 18 %.
Accounts not paid in full according to established credit terms shall be considered in default and the customer agrees that a lien will attach upon all property in customer’s possession which was purchased on account from Southwire including all proceeds resulting therefrom.
Southwire may, at its discretion, reclaim the product under lien or take any other action that may be permitted under applicable law. En caso de incumplimiento, el cliente también cederá a Southwire el derecho a cobrar todas las cuentas por cobrar que le correspondan al cliente por la venta de dichos productos. El Cliente proporcionará, a solicitud de Southwire, copias de todas las facturas correspondientes a la venta de dichos productos para que Southwire pueda notificar al comprador de esta cesión.
Credit approval is subject to revocation and/or modification upon discovery of material changes in the customer’s financial condition, previously undisclosed information, or other reasons which Southwire, in good faith, feels adversely affect the credit agreement. Stoppage or recall in transit is authorized. Tras la revocación del crédito, los términos de la venta vuelven a ser pago en efectivo por adelantado.

El incumplimiento o la negativa a aceptar la entrega sin una causa justificada se considerará un incumplimiento del acuerdo de compra por parte del cliente. Para los productos estándar, el cliente es responsable de los daños o pérdidas sufridos por Southwire, incluidos, entre otros, los costes de almacenamiento, envío y reposición, las ganancias y pérdidas previstas debido a la fluctuación del mercado. In the case of default on specially designed, construed, procured, or packaged products, customer shall be liable for damages amounting to the contract price less the net salvage value of the product.
Fuerza mayor: Southwire shall not be liable for failure to perform hereunder as a result of any cause beyond Southwire’s reasonable control, including any failure to meet delivery terms if such failure is a result of and includes but is not limited to, accidents, machinery or equipment breakdown, strikes or labor troubles, material shortages, supply chain shortages, fires, floods, war, acts of government or military, public disturbances or riots, government allocations, acts of God, acts of terrorism, epidemics, pandemics, or quarantines or other measures taken to ensure compliance with government issued health guidelines or other circumstances beyond Southwire’s control.
