Product Supply Terms and Conditions

THESE PRODUCT SUPPLY TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“T&C”) are entered into between Cambria Company LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Cambria”), and the “Customer” identified on the Product Supply Agreement (the “PSA”) signed by Cambria and Customer that references these T&C, effective as of the “Effective Date” of the PSA. The PSA and these T&C shall be referred to collectively herein as this “Agreement.”

WHEREAS, Customer and Cambria desire that Cambria supply Cambria’s products to Customer, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties further agree as follows:

1. Supply and Shipping

1.1 Orders

Customer shall place orders (each an “Order”) for Cambria’s quartz surface products (“Products”) through Cambria’s online ordering platform, purchase orders (or similar ordering documentation) submitted to Cambria, by telephone to Cambria’s designated number, or via email to Cambria’s designated email address. For the avoidance of doubt, Orders shall not be binding on Cambria unless they are expressly confirmed by Cambria, and when confirmed they shall bind Customer to purchase and Cambria to supply the applicable Products, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of information it submits as part of an Order and incorrect or missing information may impact the delivery schedule, costs, and expenses, and (ii) Customer may not cancel or change a confirmed Order without Cambria’s prior written approval, and if changes are approved by Cambria after the Order is confirmed, they may impact the delivery schedule, costs, and expenses.

1.2 Shipping

Customer shall be responsible for payment of shipping, crating, freight and related charges, regardless of whether Customer or Cambria provides or arranges for shipment to Customer’s facility. All Products to be shipped domestically shall be shipped FOB Cambria’s facility, and title and risk of loss shall pass to Customer when the Products are loaded for shipping, and all Products to be shipped internationally shall be shipped EXW (Incoterms® 2020) Cambria’s facility, and title and risk of loss shall pass to Customer when the Products are made available for shipping.

1.3 No Requirements

Nothing in this Agreement obligates Customer to place orders for (i) Products, or (ii) any Cambria materials, point of sale materials, samples, products or services other than Products (“Materials”). Subject to the foregoing, the following Sections of this Agreement shall also apply to Materials ordered and/or purchased from Cambria, unless such orders or purchases are subject to separate terms and conditions or a separate agreement: Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 3.3, 4.2 (last sentence), 4.3, 4.4, 4.6 and 6 through 17. For the purposes of the foregoing Sections, Materials ordered or purchased by Customer shall also be considered “Products.”

1.4 Nonexclusive

Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Customer has no exclusive territory related to Cambria or any Products, and (ii) Cambria may engage in, render services to, provide Products to, consult with or possess an interest in other entities and business ventures, whether or not such entities and ventures are competitive with Customer.

2. Product Pricing and Inspection

2.1 Product Pricing

The purchase price for Products shall be Cambria’s applicable market pricing at the time the Order is confirmed by Cambria. Cambria may increase such pricing on thirty (30) days’ notice to Customer. Such notice may be provided via email, telephone, Cambria’s ordering platform, as part of an invoice or Order confirmation or in any other reasonable manner. Any Products ordered by Customer before a price increase goes into effect shall be charged or invoiced by Cambria at the Product purchase price in effect prior to the notification of the increase; provided that such Products are ordered in the ordinary course consistent with past practices. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1 does not apply to other materials, samples, products and services ordered or purchased by Customer from Cambria.

2.2 Payment

Cambria shall invoice Customer the applicable purchase price for Products and invoices are due and payable within the period of time stated on the invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Customer is on prepay terms, Customer must pay the amount shown on the Order confirmation in full prior to the applicable Products being fabricated, shipped or picked up by Customer. Cambria may change Customer to credit terms or prepay terms at any time in Cambria’s sole discretion. Customer shall not have the right to set-off or make any deduction from payments for any reason. Unless otherwise provided herein, or as required by applicable law, payments received by Cambria will be applied first to any accrued and unpaid interest, then to Customer’s principal balance, and then to any other costs or expenses for which Customer is responsible. All amounts paid are nonrefundable. As between Cambria and Customer, Customer shall be exclusively responsible for payment of any applicable international, federal, state and local duties, taxes and assessments on the purchase of Products; provided that Customer shall not be liable for any taxes based on Cambria’s net income.

2.3 Credit Limit

Cambria may, in its sole discretion, establish a credit limit for Customer and adjust such credit limit from time to time. Cambria shall have no obligation to accept or confirm Orders, and may reject Orders and suspend or cancel delivery of Products, including, without limitation, Products ordered pursuant to Orders previously confirmed by Cambria, in the event that such credit limit is or would be exceeded by Customer. Cambria shall have no liability with respect to any such rejection, non-acceptance, non-confirmation, suspension or cancellation. Customer agrees to provide all documentation and information reasonably requested by Cambria in conjunction with establishing such credit limit, including, without limitation, credit references and financial information. In addition, Customer shall complete, sign and deliver a credit application upon Cambria’s request.

2.4 Disputed and Overdue Amounts

If Customer disputes any portion of any invoice or Order confirmation, Customer shall notify Cambria in writing within ten (10) business days from the date of the invoice or Order confirmation with sufficient detail to allow the parties to resolve the dispute in good faith; otherwise, such invoice or Order confirmation shall be deemed approved for all purposes. Overdue amounts shall bear interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, until paid. To the extent not prohibited by law, Customer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees) incurred by Cambria in enforcing or attempting to enforce Customer’s payment obligations hereunder and any related judgment, regardless of whether suit is commenced. Cambria shall have the right to reject Orders and suspend or cancel delivery of Products, including, without limitation, Products ordered pursuant to Orders previously confirmed by Cambria, in the event that any invoice or, if Customer is on prepay terms, any amounts shown on an Order confirmation, becomes overdue or Customer is otherwise in default under this Agreement. Cambria shall have no liability with respect to any such rejection, non-acceptance, non-confirmation, suspension or cancellation. In such event, Cambria may also request Customer to sign and deliver a security agreement or deliver a personal guaranty each in form and substance acceptable to Cambria before having any obligation to continue to supply Products to Customer.

2.5 Product Inspection Timeline

Customer shall inspect Products within seven (7) days of delivery and either accept such Products, or, if any Products have Manufacturing Defects (as defined below), reject such defective Products. All Products shall be deemed accepted if Customer fails to provide written notice of rejection to Cambria within such period of time or if Customer proceeds to cut, sell or otherwise transfer the applicable Products. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer agrees that any and all claims of nonconformances or defects in Products must be submitted to Cambria before the applicable Product is cut. All nonconformances or defects with respect to Products are hereby waived upon acceptance of such Products.

2.6 Required Process for Rejection of Products

Any written notice of rejection must state in reasonable detail the grounds for rejection and Customer shall promptly provide any requested information and documentation to Cambria in order for Cambria to verify such claim. If Cambria, in its sole discretion, verifies such claim, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such defective Products shall be for Cambria, at Cambria’s discretion, to repair the defective Products, to replace the defective Products, or to credit Customer the purchase price for the defective Products. If Cambria replaces defective Products or provides a credit for defective Products, Customer shall, at Cambria’s option, (i) return the rejected Products to Cambria or Cambria’s designee, or (ii) destroy the rejected Products pursuant to Cambria’s written instructions. Cambria shall provide a credit to Customer, in the amount of Customer’s reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred with any such return or destruction (without markup), after Cambria’s receipt of documentation for the same. Cambria shall have no liability with respect to any delays associated with the processes under Sections 2.5 or 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s rejection of any Products pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.6 shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations for such Products. Customer may not revoke its acceptance of Products and Cambria is under no obligation to accept returned Products. All notices to Cambria under Sections 2.5 and 2.6 must be submitted (a) in writing to Cambria Company LLC, Attn: Cambria Customer Care, 11000 West 78th Street, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344, (b) by email to CustomerService@CambriaUSA.com, or (c) by telephone at 1-866-CAMBRIA (1-866-226-2742). Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer may not reject, return or exchange any Products without Cambria’s prior written approval.

2.7 Manufacturing Defects

A “Manufacturing Defect” means a manufacturing defect is a flaw in the Product that exists at the time the Product leaves Cambria’s facility that causes the Product to be different than its intended design. It does not apply to Product subjected to damage due to, without limitation, mishandling, abnormal use, misuse, physical abuse, improper storage, chemical exposure, UV exposure, direct or sustained heat or cold, including sudden or rapid changes in temperature or thermal shock, exposure to chemicals, outdoor installation or partially exposed outdoor installations, excessive pressure, force or loading applied from a person, utensil or object, including, but not limited to, cracks and/or chips resulting therefrom. Further, it shall not apply if Customer has not paid for the applicable Product in full.

2.8 Methods of Payment

If Customer elects to make payment by credit or debit card or ACH transfer, and such method of payment is allowed by Cambria, in its sole discretion, (i) Customer is responsible for providing a valid credit or debit card number or ACH account number at the time Customer submits payment, (ii) Customer represents and warrants that Customer (and the individual submitting payment) is an authorized user of the credit or debit card number or ACH account number provided, and Customer agrees to pay all charges resulting from Customer’s use of such method of payment, including, but not limited to, any unauthorized charges, and (iii) Customer agrees that Cambria may pass Customer’s credit, debit and ACH information and related information to its designated service provider(s) for their use in processing such payments.

2.9 Customer Credits

In the event that Cambria issues a monetary credit to Customer, such monetary credit shall be applied to the principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other costs or expenses for which Customer is responsible, in the manner determined by Cambria. Monetary credits cannot be transferred to other products, services, costs, expenses or invoices after they are applied. In addition, monetary credits cannot be refunded, exchanged, transferred or converted to cash or other compensation. Any monetary credit that remains outstanding for more than one hundred eighty (180) days after issuance by Cambria shall be voided, and Cambria shall have no liability with respect to such voidance. All outstanding monetary credits shall be terminated upon the termination of this Agreement.

2.10 Other Policies

Customer shall comply with Cambria’s policies and procedures made available to Customer from time to time, including, without limitation, the BORM Manual. Such policies and procedures may be made available via email, through Cambria’s customer portal, through Cambria’s ordering platform, or otherwise.

4.4 Important Acknowledgment of Risks

14. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures of performance resulting from acts beyond the reasonable control of such party, except for payment obligations. Such acts shall include, but are not limited to, acts of God, strikes, public internet and private internet connection failures, lockouts, riots, acts of war, acts of terror, epidemics, government regulations superimposed after the Effective Date, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes and other disasters. In such an event, the delayed party shall give written notice of such event to the other party and shall use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

15. Successors and Assigns

Customer may not assign this Agreement, or any of Customer’s rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Cambria. Any attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Cambria may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, to an affiliate or in the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of Cambria’s assets or Cambria’s merger or restructuring. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16. Equitable Relief

It is recognized that damages in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Sections 4.5, 5, 6.1 and 6.2 above will be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. It is therefore agreed that the parties, in addition to, and without limiting, any other remedy or right that each party might have, shall have the right to seek an injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining a party from violating the provisions of this Agreement. This Section 16 shall not limit any remedies otherwise available to the parties.

17. Miscellaneous

Section and subsection headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement. They are included solely for convenience and not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content hereof. Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 above, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and any third party beneficiaries identified herein, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. The following Sections shall survive the termination of this Agreement: Sections 1.2 (first sentence), 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 (last sentence), 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, 5 through 8.2, and 9 through 17. The PSA may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each of the parties hereto have been represented by independent legal counsel or afforded the opportunity of representation by independent legal counsel. Therefore, no provision of this Agreement, including any amendment or addendum hereto, shall be construed against the party who drafted this Agreement. Should any provision of this Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity will not invalidate the whole of this Agreement, but rather that invalid provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same effect as the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the waiving party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
