Snaptron disclaims any warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Indemnification

You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Snaptron, its affiliates, vendors, and each of its and their respective employees, contractors, directors, suppliers, and representatives from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise from or relate to your use or misuse, or otherwise from the products purchased, violation of these Terms and Conditions, or infringement of any intellectual property or other right, claim or action, including but not limited to personal injury or property damage of any person or entity. Snaptron reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with Snaptron in asserting any available defenses.

Payment and Pricing

  1. Snaptron Credit Terms are Net 30. Additional Payment options are Payment in Advance (by wire transfer, check, or credit card), and Cash on Delivery (COD).
  2. If you choose to pay by wire transfer, you will be responsible for ALL banking fees associated with the transfer. The sender is responsible for Snaptron’s fees, and any fees charged by intermediary financial institutions used during the transfer. If you do not pay wire fees, Snaptron will reduce the quantity of product shipped to equal the amount of the invoice short of payment or your account will be placed on credit hold until the wire fee balance is paid in full.
  3. Snaptron accepts payment for invoices and prepayment by credit, debit or check card, or other approved prearranged payment method. Snaptron accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. An invoice will be sent through Authorize.net for payment. Production on your order will begin once payment is authorized and received by Snaptron.
  4. Quotes are valid for 30 days. Quotes are not considered final until a purchase order and final customer requirements are received and reviewed. Upon review of requirements, Snaptron reserves the right to resubmit updated pricing.
  5. Quotes do not include any additional costs for part qualification (PPAP), special packaging, or testing (FAIR) required by you. Snaptron reserves the right to quote these requirements separately upon request.
  6. Any products quoted as NC/NR are non-cancellable and non-returnable. Built to order products are non-cancellable and non-refundable.
  7. Non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges cover part design and the cost to setup Snaptron systems to manufacture custom parts. Snaptron owns all setup materials associated with building a custom part.
  8. Credit hold. Snaptron reserves the right to stop all work in progress and future orders pending payment resolution for a company placed on credit hold. Lead times and production schedules will be adjusted once full payment is received.
  9. Snaptron will charge up to 8% interest on the total sales order per month or $10 minimum, whichever is larger on all invoices that are past due per the terms outlined in the sales order. Charges will compound monthly on the total amount until the past due balance, including any interest charges, is paid in full. Accrued interest will begin on the first day of the month following the due date of the past due invoice. Interest charges will be assessed from the due date of the invoice and will also apply to past due interest charges.   
  10. Collections. In the event of past due invoices, Snaptron reserves the right to use the services of a collection agency to obtain payment for such invoices. Invoices reaching 90 days past due will result in the company being sent to collections. If unpaid invoices are sent to collections, this includes payment of all costs and/or attorney fees associated with the collection of past due invoices. Such companies will no longer be allowed to purchase from Snaptron until all past dues invoices and collection fees are paid in full. All future orders will be “Cash in Advance.” In addition, Snaptron reserves the right NOT to extend credit to such companies. A review of the customer at a future date will be done, and a decision to extend credit may be granted at that time. 
  11. All Personal Data will be collected, stored, and processed as described in our data protection policies and procedure in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Ordering

Snaptron’s blanket order policy is 120 days from the purchase order date.
  3. Lead time for custom Peel-N-Place products starts once the design is finalized at Snaptron and/or Snaptron receives drawing approval from you. Production proof drawing(s) will be provided for review and approval before manufacturing begins.
  4. Snaptron order confirmations are based on Snaptron’s ship date, not the purchase order dock date. Snaptron’s ship date is based on quoted lead-time and the current manufacturing schedule. Your purchase orders and systems should be updated to reflect Snaptron’s ship date. Snaptron will not accept corrective actions or penalties because of docks dates not being adjusted per Snaptron’s confirmation. Snaptron will try to expedite orders at your request to better ship dates but cannot guarantee shipment sooner than confirmation. Contact the Snaptron Sales Department for expedite options and charges to expedite orders with a firm ship date.
  5. Change requests to existing orders are only handled by email. Snaptron does NOT access customer portals or manufacture parts based on customer forecasts (excel spreadsheets).
