Terms of Service
PRICES AND TAXES: Buyer agrees to pay the prices quoted by Seller and is responsible for additional applicable shipping and handling charges, taxes and duties. Seller shall collect applicable taxes unless Buyer submits a valid tax exemption certificate, and indicates which Goods are covered by it. Prices on special-order Goods may be subject to change before shipment; Seller shall notify Buyer of any change, and Buyer may at its discretion cancel the special-order Goods if the revised prices are unacceptable, without charge other than applicable Vendor related.
PAYMENT: Payment terms are Payment in Advance. Select Customers can be granted 30 days net from the invoice date, or upon such other terms approved by Seller in writing. Retainage shall not apply, and Buyer shall not hold back any retainage from Seller, even if retainage is part of any contract between Buyer and any other party. Payment is not contingent on Buyer’s ability to collect or obtain funds from any other party. Credit card sales are billed at the time of shipping. Buyer expressly represents it is solvent at the time it places any purchase order with Seller. Seller, in its sole discretion, may determine that Buyer’s financial condition requires full or partial payment prior to manufacture or shipment. If Buyer fails to make any payment when due, Seller reserves the right to suspend performance. Buyer agrees to pay a charge on all amounts past due at the rate of 1 ½% per month (18% per year) or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is less. In the event of non-payment, Buyer agrees to pay Seller’s reasonable attorney fees and court costs, if any, incurred by Seller to collect payment, and all applicable interest Seller may apply payments to any outstanding invoices unless Buyer provides specific payment direction.
TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE: All sales are F.O.B., point of shipment, and Buyer takes title and assumes responsibility for risk of loss or damage at the point of shipment for such sales. Claims for Goods damaged in transit are Buyer’s sole responsibility when not delivered by Seller’s. It is our company policy that we do not refund shipping costs for lost, misplaced, or damaged international shipments. It is an unfortunate occurrence when a shipping company fails to deliver a package. However, it is not Nicotine River's responsibility to refund the cost of items or services that were paid for by the customer.
QUOTATIONS: All quotations expire thirty (30) days from the date of the quotation unless otherwise noted on the quotation. This time limit applies even if Buyer uses the quotation to submit a job or project bid to any other party. All lead times are Subject to Factory On-Time Delivery.
ASSIGNMENT: An order shall not be assigned by either party without the express written consent of the other. Consent will not be required, however, for internal transfers and assignments as between either party and its affiliates, and nothing herein shall limit either party’s right to factor or sell.
RETURN/REFUND OF PRODUCTS AND ORDER CANCELLATION: Nicotine River handles returns and refunds using a strict 14 day policy. This strict 14 day policy applies to samples as well. Ultimately, the buyer of the package must contact Nicotine River with their concern within 14 days of receiving the package to be eligible for a refund or return. It is the buyers responsibility to inspect and approve all received products upon receiving the package(s). After the 14 day period, there is unfortunately no compensation that can be provided by Nicotine River. If returning your order has been authorized by a Nicotine River representative, you will be provided with a pre-paid return shipping label. If an order is returned, but is unauthorized, no compensation will be provided as we have no traceability of the package being returned. Nicotine River handles all returns on a case by case basis. It is the buyers responsibility to comply with Nicotine River policies, in order to ensure the buyer receives the best service possible. Regarding cancellation of orders before they are shipped, Nicotine River does allow this option. However, if the order has already been assigned a tracking number and is scheduled for departure, the option for cancellation will not be allowed. By shipping the order before the buyers request to cancel, Nicotine River has fulfilled its duty and is not responsible for compensating the buyer.
TERMINATION: Either party may terminate the whole or any part of the other party’s performance under a purchase order if there is a material breach of these Terms & Conditions. In the event of any such breach, the non-breaching party will provide the breaching party with written notice of the nature of the breach and the non-breaching party’s intention to terminate for default. In the event the breaching party does not cure such failure within ten (10) days of such notice, the non-breaching party may, by written notice, terminate the order; provided, that the breaching party shall continue its performance to the extent not.

In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery or performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay. Should shipments be held or stored beyond the delivery date for convenience of Buyer, Seller may, at its option, assess reasonable charges for any expense incident to such.
CLAIMS: Claims for any nonconforming Goods must be made by Buyer, in writing, within ten (10) days of Buyer’s receipt of such Goods and must state with particularity all material facts concerning the claim then known to Buyer.
