Customer claims must be received by 1X in writing, within Fifteen (15) days from the date of the invoice.

Failure or refusal to accept delivery without just cause is considered a default by the customer on the purchase agreement. For standard products, the customer is liable for damages or loss suffered by 1X, including but not limited to storage, shipping and restocking costs, anticipated profits and losses due to market fluctuation. In the case of default on specially designed, construed, or packaged products, the customer shall be liable for damages amounting to the contract price less the net salvage value of the material.

Force majeure: 1X Technologies shall not be liable for failure to meet delivery terms if such failure is a result of accidents, machinery or equipment breakdown, strikes or labor troubles, material shortages, fires, floods, war, public disturbances or riots, government allocations, acts of God, acts of terrorism, international trade disputes, or other circumstances beyond 1X’s control.

Delivery commitments are based upon the best information present at the time of quotation and/or time of order entry but may change due to conditions beyond 1X’s control. 1X shall have no liability whatsoever for a failure to meet delivery or shipment schedules. Extended requested delivery dates are subject to price revisions or cancellation of the order by 1X. 1X reserves the right to invoice the buyer immediately if the customer delays delivery. In addition after 30 days, storage charges will be charged to the buyer at a minimum rate of one-half of one percent of the invoice amount per month. Buyer’s order is accepted subject to 1X being able to obtain the necessary raw materials and subject to government priorities and other government regulations that may be issued from time to time. The availability of items quoted as “stock” are done so on a “subject to prior sales” basis.

If for any reason 1X should fail to deliver within a reasonable variance of 30 days from the estimated delivery date specified, aside from force majeure,  1X shall be liable only for the actual damage caused by such failure, measured in actual cash cost to the customer. Damages shall not exceed the agreed price of the material involved. 

1X will not be liable for any installation costs, incidental or consequential damages or costs, or loss of profits resulting from failure to deliver.
