All orders are subject to acceptance by HOOBS™, HOOBS Inc. CP 3211, L’Assomption, QC J5W 4M9, Canada (“SUPPLIER”). SUPPLIER reserves the right to reject any order.

Customer’s failure to object in writing to these Terms prior to the earlier of Customer’s acceptance of the products ordered or fifteen (15) days after delivery thereof to Customer will constitute agreement by Customer to these Terms.

All prices are subject to change without notice.

All prices of HOOBS™ are understood as exclusive of value-added tax (VAT).

5. Credit Approval

Customer credit approval is required prior to the shipment of any orders. If SUPPLIER determines at any time that Customer’s financial condition does not justify the extension of credit to Customer, then SUPPLIER may at its option require cash payments in advance or other satisfactory security prior to delivery.

Orders for standard Supplier Products may only be revised or canceled by Customer prior to the date of loading at the place of shipment, and only with SUPPLIER’s prior consent.
