Terms & Conditions

  1. Custom-Bilt Metals (“CBM”) agrees to sell the goods set forth on this invoice to the buyer (hereinafter “You”) pursuant to the terms in any CBM Credit Application executed by You and the following terms and conditions.
  2. Until You have executed CBM’s Credit Application and established a CBM credit line, all orders must be prepaid in advance of delivery.
  3. Payment in full is due on invoice due date. Any payment after the invoice due date is past due. Any agreement to the contrary is only valid if in writing and executed by both You and CBM.
  4. A SERVICE CHARGE of the lesser of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or the maximum rate permitted by law will be charged on any balance not paid by the due date. If the state law in which a transaction takes place requires a different rate, CBM will apply that rate. A fee of $40.00 will be assessed for any returned check.
  5. Unless otherwise specified in the remittance of payment from Buyer, CBM may apply payments received in any manner it deems proper towards Your unpaid balance.
  6. CBM may elect, at its option, to serve preliminary notices related to all projects for which materials or labor are purchased and may, at its option, enforce any and all mechanic’s lien, stop notice and/or bond rights, and related remedies. The availability of such multiple remedies shall not, in any way, affect Your obligation to pay for all goods purchased pursuant to the open account being applied for herein or any purchases made thereon. The failure of CBM to enforce such third-party rights shall not diminish, dilute, or be a defense to any claims against You.
  7. Any applicable taxes or other government charges imposed shall be added to the purchase price and paid by You unless valid documentation allowing exemptions is timely delivered to CBM.
  8. You and each Guarantor(s) agree that any dispute arising from the terms and conditions herein, including without limitation any action by CBM to enforce payment terms and conditions in effect with You, shall be governed by and under the substantive law of the state of Texas, without regard to choice-of-law rules. You expressly agree that any action, proceeding, or lawsuit arising out of or related to the terms and conditions herein must be brought solely and exclusively in the state or federal courts of Tarrant County, Texas. Venue is improper in any other jurisdiction.
  9.

  10. You agree to pay all costs incurred by CBM in the enforcement of these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, costs of collection, attorney’s fees, and court costs.
  11. It is Your responsibility to open and inspect all items upon receipt, checking for damage and comparing contents with the packing slip. Any claim for shortages, damaged stock, or errors in filling an order are waived unless the claim is received by CBM in writing within 48 hours of delivery. Failure to make a claim on the receipt or bill of lading shall constitute a waiver of Your right to a refund or credit for shortages, damaged stock, or errors in filling an order.
  12. You acknowledge, guarantee, and warrant to CBM that the person signing this Order, invoice, receipt or any other document related to the goods or materials purchased from CBM is authorized to sign same.

  14. CBM shall not be responsible for any delays or for any consequential or special damages arising out of, or in connection with any sale, invoice, receipt, or bill of lading for goods or materials purchased from CBM. CBM’s liability is limited to repayment of the purchase price of non-conforming items upon return of the items. This remedy is Your exclusive remedy. CBM shall not be liable for any damages attributable to product abuse, misuse, neglect, or any other cause that is not the fault of CBM.
  15. Risk of loss to all goods sold shall pass to You upon delivery to carrier at point of shipment whether CBM pays any part of the freight unless such materials are delivered by CBM’s trucks, in which case, risk of loss shall pass to You upon delivery to You at Your destination point. If You require a means of transportation other than that selected by CBM, then any extra cost incurred by reason of using other means shall be paid by You.
  16. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CBM and its officers and directors from any claim, demand, action, causes of action, suits, costs, expenses, losses, damages, compensation, liabilities, and obligations of any kind or nature that arise from or in connection with any breach of paragraph 13 above, including, but not limited to, failure to provide warranty information, provision of incorrect information on a warranty registration, or registering any warranty without authority from the owner, including all costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and court costs.
