TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATING TO CREDIT APPLICATION

In consideration of Wajax agreeing to grant credit to the Customer, the Customer hereby agrees as follows:

1. The decision whether or not to grant credit or to continue to grant credit to the Customer is at Wajax’s sole discretion. Wajax reserves the right to increase, decrease, modify, suspend and/or cancel the Customer’s credit privileges at any time without notice to the Customer and without recourse by the Customer for any damages that may be incurred as a result. Wajax reserves the right from time to time to request further information from the Customer and to require other conditions be met by the Customer (such as the delivery of personal guarantees or security agreements) as a condition of granting or continuing to grant credit.
2. All invoices of Wajax are due and payable 30 days from the date of each invoice without any deduction, set off, counterclaim or abatement unless authorized in writing by Wajax’s VP Finance or Credit Manager. Purchases of major equipment are due upon delivery unless otherwise approved in writing by Wajax. Rentals are due in advance (i.e., month of June due June 1st) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Wajax. Any amount which becomes 30 days past due is subject to a service charge at the rate of 2.0% per month compounded monthly (26.8% annually) until the date of actual payment.
3. Prior authorization of Wajax must be obtained before returning goods for credit, and Wajax may grant or withhold such authorization in its sole discretion. If a return is accepted, a return authorization form will be provided by your Wajax representative and must be clearly indicated on your returns (prepaid shipments only). Returns may be subject to a restocking charge to be determined by an authorized Wajax representative.
4. The Customer agrees to notify Wajax promptly of any changes concerning the organizational status, ownership, financial stability or creditworthiness of the Customer.
5. Title to all goods sold by Wajax shall remain vested in Wajax (even if affixed to real or personal property), and nothing contained in this document or any others shall be deemed to have the effect of transferring right or title in any goods supplied or services performed until such time as the amounts due for said items or services have been paid for in full. Until payment in full, all goods sold by Wajax are removable at the discretion of Wajax (notwithstanding any enclosure or affixation to real or personal property) and Wajax is authorized to enter and/or work upon such property for the purposes of such removal notwithstanding any damage caused. The Customer agrees to indemnify and save harmless Wajax from and against any and all claims, costs and expenses (including legal expenses on a solicitor and his own client basis) suffered or incurred by Wajax in the removal of its goods, including, without limitation, any suffered or incurred in the removal, destruction and repair of walls or other improvements or chattels.
6. The Customer grants, mortgages and assigns to Wajax a security interest in all of the Customer’s present and after acquired personal property, and all proceeds thereof, as security for the due payment and satisfaction of any and all obligations and liabilities whatsoever, liquidated or unliquidated, of the Customer to Wajax, present or future, direct or indirect and howsoever arising. Whenever Wajax performs any work or service or sells or installs any attachment, improvement or creation to any real or personal property of the Customer, the Customer shall be deemed to have granted to Wajax a lien, charge and security interest in the entirety of such property as security for the payment of Wajax’s charges therefor, and Wajax shall be entitled to register a Caveat and/or financing statement in respect thereof. Wajax shall also be entitled to register financing statements or other means of security as it sees fit. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Customer waives the right to be notified of registration of any financing statements or other public filings.
7. The Customer irrevocably authorizes any of (1) Wajax, (2) any carrier retained by the Customer and (3) any employee of the Customer, to sign in the name of and on behalf of the Customer, purchase orders, work orders, court orders, invoices, consents, acknowledgments of debt or other documentation which evidence the present or future obligations of the Customer to Wajax or which gives better effect to the Customer’s obligations hereunder, and such documentation shall be valid and binding on the Customer.
8. Wajax reserves the right (regardless of any contrary direction) to apply any monies received by it on the Customer’s account to such invoices and accounts of the Customer and as to principal or interest as Wajax deems fit.
9. Cheques are not considered payment until honoured. Cheque’s returned as Non-Sufficient Funds will be subject to a $50.00 handling fee.
10. All credit notes issued to the Customer by Wajax expire two years from the date of issuance. Credit notes are to be settled against other open invoices only.
11. Upon default by the Customer or in the event that Wajax at any time determines that its credit position is in any manner insecure, inadequate or in jeopardy, Wajax may, without limiting its other remedies hereunder or at law (and notwithstanding any existing contracts or
    commitments to the Customer including a commenced delivery or performance): (1) deem all amounts owing by the Customer to Wajax to be immediately due and payable, (2) take possession of any goods supplied or otherwise enforce its security against the Customer, (3) refuse, stop, cease or suspend further sales, deliveries or services to the Customer including goods in transit, and/or (4) impose prepayments or request other forms of security as Wajax deems fit.
12. The Customer agrees to indemnify and save harmless Wajax from and against any and all costs and expenses (including legal expenses on a solicitor and his own client basis) incurred by Wajax in the collection (including execution) of any monies due to Wajax or enforcing any of Wajax rights.
