Terms of Service
GENERAL TERMS FOR SALES AND SERVICES Set out below are the terms and conditions applicable to the sales and services of all products including those listed in the Product Catalogue and/or Price Sheets. This is NOT an offer to lend money but a service agreement to secure, store and ship products for dealers registered in this plan. The service provider under this agreement is Feng Shui Gold, hereinafter referred to as "FSG".
CONDITIONS I. Prices. The Purchaser agrees to pay FSG the prices published in the FSG Price Schedule in effect at time of service, less applicable discounts, if any. Such prices are subject to change by FSG at any time without notice.
II. Returns. FSG may accept returned merchandise only when approved in advance and when bearing an R.M.A. (Returned Merchandise Authorization) number. The R.M.A. number is obtained from FSG at the time of approval. Such returns must be shipped transportation-prepaid. Returned merchandise must be currently listed, in original, sealed, factory cartons and purchased within the previous thirty (30) days. Credit will be issued at current or purchased price at FSG's option and may be subject to a restocking charge.
III. Purchase Orders. Purchaser's purchase orders for FSG products are subject to the terms and conditions of this policy and the ordering instructions contained in FSG's Price Schedules published from time to time. FSG shall not be bound by any terms, conditions or prices stated in the Purchaser's purchase orders, acceptance forms, or elsewhere which vary, limit or add to the terms, conditions or prices of this policy. Standing, general or blanket instructions will not be accepted. No order for FSG products shall be binding upon FSG until accepted by FSG or by shipment. Any such order shall be subject to these standard conditions of sale and acceptance shall be conditioned on assent to these conditions.
Failure of FSG to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from a Purchaser (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind) shall not be construed as a waiver of these conditions nor an acceptance of any such provisions.
No order accepted by FSG may be altered or modified by Purchaser unless agreed to in writing signed by an authorized official of FSG.
1V. Duties and Taxes. Prices listed or quoted include duty at the rate in effect at the date of the proposal or quotation. Such prices are subject to increase or decrease to reflect any change in duty made prior to delivery of the product.
Any Applicable Sales Tax will be added to the invoice price at the rate in effect at time of shipment.
DELIVERY TERMS I. Shipping Policy - F.O.B. Point. Shipping terms are F.O.B. FSG's warehouse. Freight may be prepaid by FSG and billed to the Purchaser. FSG reserves the right to select the method of transportation and the routing of shipment. A Purchaser requiring shipment by a method or routing other than that selected by FSG will be billed the increase in transportation charges.
II. Delivery. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, delivery of the product will be made F.O.B. FSG's warehouse, and FSG reserves the right to make delivery in installments unless otherwise specified at the time of order.
III. Shipping errors. The Purchaser agrees to check shipments received from FSG to ensure their accuracy. If goods have been shipped in error by FSG or ordered incorrectly by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall inform FSG of this error within ten (10) calendar days. Such notification will invoke the procedures as outlined in CONDITIONS OF SALE, Item II - Returns, as outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
IV. Loss or Damage on Shipments F.O.B. Warehouse (Standard Conditions). FSG shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or pilferage sustained in transit. Claims of such character should be made promptly by the Purchaser against the carrier. If FSG is notified in writing of such claims, it will lend assistance to secure adjustment. Valuation of shipment will be at carrier's standard rates unless otherwise specified by the Purchaser at additional cost.
V. Loss or Damage on Shipments F.O.B. Destination (Exception to Standard Conditions). If delivery is made otherwise than F.O.B. FSG's warehouse, the Purchaser shall examine the product as soon as it is received and shall give immediate notice to FSG and the carrier of any loss or damage sustained during transit, and further in the case of any damage, the Purchaser shall request an inspection of the loss or damage by a representative of the carrier and a copy of the carrier's Inspection Report shall be sent to FSG. If such notice to FSG or to the carrier is not given, the product shall be deemed to have been delivered in satisfactory condition and the price shall become due and payable in full as agreed between FSG and the Purchaser.
VI. Title. Delivery of goods to a carrier shall constitute delivery to the Purchaser and, regardless of freight payment, and method, all risk of loss or damage in transit shall pass to the Purchaser at that time. Title to goods shall pass from FSG to the Purchaser when FSG has been paid in full. If default is made in any of the payments herein, FSG may retain any partial payments which have been made, as liquidated damages, and FSG shall be entitled to the immediate possession of the goods and shall be free to enter the premises where the goods may be located, and remove them as FSG's property, without prejudice to FSG's right to recover any further expenses or damages FSG may suffer by reason of such non-payment.
VII. Governing Law. All contracts for the sale of FSG products shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the State of Florida, USA.
TERMS OF PAYMENT I. Terms: All prices quoted and all payments shall be in US dollars unless otherwise specified. All payments are due in accordance with invoice terms from the date of FSG's invoice to the Purchaser. In case partial shipments are made at different times, pro-rated payments shall be made.
The Purchaser agrees that should any payments not be made when due, then interest on such overdue payments shall be paid by the Purchaser at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (twenty-six point eighty two percent (26.82%) per annum) until the price, including service charges, has been fully paid but this shall not be construed as obligating FSG to grant any extension of time in the terms of payment.
If legal action or any proceeding or demand is brought or made by FSG for recovery of possession of FSG Products or for the collection of any purchase price or other sums payable to FSG by the Purchaser or because of the breach of any other terms or conditions herein contained on the part of the Purchaser to be kept or performed, the Purchaser shall pay to FSG all expenses incurred therefore, including all reasonable solicitors' fees in respect thereof on a solicitor and client basis.
II. Credit. FSG reserves the right to reject any orders placed by the Purchaser and refuse to ship any accepted orders on hand or request payment in advance if at any time the Purchaser's credit standing becomes impaired or unsatisfactory to FSG.
GENERAL PROVISIONS I. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or any applicable statutory provisions, neither FSG nor the Purchaser shall be liable to the other for special or consequential damages or damages for loss of use arising directly or indirectly from any breach of contract, fundamental or otherwise or from any tortuous acts or omissions of their respective employees or agents and in no event shall the liability of FSG exceed the unit price of the defective product or of the product subject to late delivery.
II. Warranty. The products sold by FSG are not manufactured by FSG. All products are covered by the manufacturer's warranty direct from the manufacturer.

III. Force Majeure. FSG shall not be liable for loss or damages or delay due to causes beyond its control including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of the Purchaser, fire, strikes, lockouts or other labor disruptions, flood, epidemics, civil or military restrictions, embargoes, car shortages, wrecks, delays in transportation or inability to obtain necessary labor. In the event of any such delay the delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.
IV. Severability. Invalidity of any provision of this Sales Policy shall not affect the validity of any other provision hereof and any such invalid provision shall be severed herefrom.
V. Non-Waiver. No failure by FSG to exercise any right accruing to it under any contract of sale entered into with the Purchaser shall operate as a waiver thereof nor preclude the exercise of any other right or privilege by FSG.
VI. Notice. Any notice required or contemplated hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by fax or other form of telecommunication or by prepaid registered mail. Any notice sent by fax or other form of telecommunication shall be deemed to have been received when transmitted and any notice sent by registered mail shall be deemed to have been received when signed for.
