These Terms also apply to any proposal, estimate or quote that Summit makes. These Terms may not be changed or superseded by any different or additional terms and conditions contained in any Customer purchase order, acknowledgement, form or other document. Summit hereby objects to and rejects any such additional or different terms and conditions. Additional or different terms shall only apply if an officer of Summit (Vice President or higher only) approves the additional or different terms in a signed writing expressing the officer's intent to bind Summit to the additional or different terms and conditions.

    Payment.    Terms of all sales are cash or check (payable in U.S. dollars). No payment may be made by credit, debit or charge card. If an invoice or obligation of Customer is not paid by the net due date indicated on Summit’s invoice to Customer, Summit shall levy a "service charge" to cover the additional cost of handling the account in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or part thereof until paid. Customer acknowledges and agrees that this charge is a "service charge" levied by Summit to reimburse Summit for the additional cost of carrying its delinquent account and that such charge is not an interest charge. Summit reserves the right at any time to revoke or decrease any credit extended to the Customer, require payment security satisfactory to Summit or cancel any order if Customer's account is delinquent, Customer fails to pay any obligation when due or, in Summit’s opinion, there is an adverse change in Customer's financial condition. Delays in delivery or nonconformities in any installments delivered shall not relieve Customer of its obligation to accept and pay for remaining installments.

    Collection Costs.    If it becomes necessary for Summit to retain legal or collection agency assistance to collect an overdue account, Customer shall pay all such costs of same, including any necessary and related incidental expenses (collectively, "Collection Costs").

    Prices.    Unless otherwise specified in writing by Summit, all proposals expire thirty (30) days from the date thereof. Prices do not include any federal, state or local property, license, privilege, sales, use, excise, gross receipts, or other like taxes. Such taxes, if any, shall be added to the purchase price and shall be paid by Customer unless Customer provides Summit with an exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. Any such taxes which Summit may be required to pay or collect under any existing or future law shall be for the account of Customer, who shall promptly pay the amount thereof to Summit upon demand.

    Jurisdiction.    If a dispute arises between the parties, regardless of its nature, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Jackson, Mississippi or within thirty (30) miles of Jackson, Mississippi. Litigation between the parties in any other venue or forum is prohibited. This provision is mandatory. It is not permissive. All depositions that are part of a litigated dispute between the parties will take place in Hinds County, Mississippi, and all documents and electronically stored information that the parties are entitled to obtain through discovery requests will be produced in Hinds County, Mississippi.

    Security Interest.    To secure the payment and performance in full of all of Customer's debts and obligations under and in connection with any Agreement and any order, Customer hereby grants to Summit a security interest in any unpaid Goods purchased from Summit, and all proceeds and products thereof. Customer hereby irrevocably authorizes Summit at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office any initial financing statements and amendments thereto, and to take such other actions as Summit deems necessary to protect Summit’s rights in such Goods.

No waiver of any term or condition herein shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Summit.

    Force Majeure.    Summit’s failure to perform any term or condition of an order or Agreement as a result of conditions beyond its control such as, but not limited to, war, strikes, fires, floods, acts of God, governmental restrictions, power failures, or damage or destruction of any facilities or infrastructure, shall not be deemed a breach of an order or Agreement.
