TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CREDIT
Parties. As used herein “Seller” shall mean Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. d/b/a The Home Depot Pro and its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions and “Purchaser” shall mean the Applicant
(Purchaser) listed on page 1.
Entire Agreement. This Credit Application and Purchase Agreement together with Seller’s Terms and Conditions, as set forth in Sellers catalogs and on Seller’s website and Seller’s purchase
order and invoice, which are incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, “Terms”) represent the entire agreement between the Parties and apply to all transactions between the Parties.
All sales made by Seller are subject to the Terms in effect at the time of the sale, which shall prevail over all inconsistent terms found in any current or future agreement between Seller and
Purchaser, including, but not limited to Purchaser’s purchase order or other documents. No modification or alteration of these Terms shall occur as a result of Seller’s shipment of products or
provision of services (collectively, “Products”) set forth in Purchaser’s purchase order or other documents containing additional, conflicting or inconsistent terms.
Pricing. Seller’s quotation prices are subject to change without notice. Quotations are void unless accepted within 24 hours of the date of issuance for products driven by market commodities
and within 30 days of the date of issuance for all other products. Prices do not include any sales, excise or other tax or charge payable by Seller to any governmental authority. Any taxes now
or thereafter imposed upon sales of shipments will be added to the purchase price. Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller for any such tax or to provide Seller with an acceptable tax exemption
certificate.
Payment. Unless otherwise stated in a written agreement signed by an officer of Seller and subject to Seller’s continuous approval of credit, payment for Products is due Net 30 days from
invoice date. Payment is due in the form of cash, check, ACH or money order. Seller may apply Purchaser’s payment against any outstanding charges within Seller’s sole discretion. Purchaser
must notify Seller of disputed charges in writing within ten (10) days from the invoice date or such disputes are waived. Failure of Purchaser to make timely payments shall result in Purchaser’s
account being in default and Seller may, in its sole discretion, suspend further performance under any purchase order with Purchaser. Seller shall also have the right to exercise offset or
recoupment rights to satisfy any outstanding balance. Subject to applicable laws, past due balances may be assessed a late charge of 1-1/2% per month (18% per annum) or up to the
maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Additionally, Seller may assess a one-time late charge of $20.00. Purchaser is liable for any and all fees and costs incurred in connection
with the collection of past due amounts, including but not limited to third party fees, court costs, and attorney’s fees.
It is the intent that any credit granted shall comply with applicable usury laws. If, for any reason, it should be determined that any applicable usury law is applicable to Purchaser’s purchase
of Products hereunder, none of the terms and provisions contained in this application or any document relating to any credit provided shall be construed to create a contract for the use,
forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by such applicable law. In such event, if any monies
are collected under the credit arrangement contemplated by this application which are deemed to constitute interest and such interest would otherwise increase the effective interest rate of the
credit arrangement to a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum legal rate
shall be credited to the payment of the sums due under the credit arrangement or returned to the payer.
Delivery. Delivery dates given by Seller are estimates and Seller shall not be liable for delays, regardless of the cause. Purchaser shall examine Products upon receipt and prior to installation.
All claims for shortages or improper delivery must be made within 72 hours of receipt of goods. Claims not received in writing within the time specified are waived by Purchaser. Delivery to job
site constitutes delivery to Purchaser, regardless of whether Purchaser or his agent is at the site at the time of delivery or signs a delivery receipt. Freight charges may apply and vary depending
upon order size, fuel prices, or other factors at Seller’s discretion. In those rare instances when a package is lost or an item is damaged in transit, Seller assumes full responsibility for filing a
related claim with Seller. Purchaser must: (i) provide number of cartons (must be the same as shown on freight bill), (ii) report shortage or concealed damages within 72 hours of receipt of goods,
(iii) make sure the number of cartons shown on packing slip has been received before claiming shortages, and (iv) if a shortage has been claimed, but later received, notify Seller immediately.
Refer to Factory Direct Terms & Conditions found on Seller’s website.
Returns. Seller will accept the return for credit of regularly stocked items of the current model in clean, new and undamaged condition with original packaging and all original parts (“Returns”).
Returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee, unless otherwise specified by Seller in writing, with the exception of defective goods or shipping errors, which are not subject to a restocking fee.
No other material may be returned for a refund or credit, including special orders and drop shipments, unless specifically agreed to by Seller in writing and the restocking fee from those items is
subject to Seller’s or its supplier’s restocking fee.
Solvency. Purchaser certifies that it is solvent and capable of meeting its obligations hereunder and that it will immediately advise the Corporate Credit Department of Seller if it
becomes insolvent.
Authorization. Purchaser and Guarantor: (a) each certify that the information provided is true and correct and has been provided to Seller as a material inducement to obtain credit; (b) each
is authorized to submit this application; and (c) each authorizes Seller to verify the information provided by or on behalf of Purchaser or Guarantor, as applicable, including, but not limited to,
requesting credit reports from credit bureaus/consumer reporting agencies regarding their respective commercial or personal credit and otherwise to investigate their respective creditworthiness
and banking history before extending credit now or at any time in the future. Seller may terminate any credit availability within its sole discretion.

relations between the parties (collectively, “Disputes”) may, at the sole option of Seller, be resolved by arbitration administered by JAMS under its commercial arbitration rules, and judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitration shall be conducted in the office closest to Jacksonville, FL. Each party shall bear
its own costs, fees and expenses associated with any arbitration. YOU AGREE THAT BY REQUESTING CREDIT, COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING A CREDIT APPLICATION RECEIVING
CREDIT, OR ENTERING INTO A COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
Termination. If Purchaser fails to comply with these Terms, or should Purchaser’s credit become unsatisfactory in Seller’s sole discretion, Seller reserves the right to immediately terminate or
restrict any order upon notice to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to send Seller written notice of any changes in the form of ownership of Purchaser’s business within five (5) days of such changes.
Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from any and all costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses),
liabilities and damages resulting from or related to any third party (including Buyer’s employees) claim, complaint and/or judgment arising from Purchaser’s use of any Products furnished
hereunder, as well as any negligent, intentional or tortious act or omission of Purchaser or its agents or any breach by Purchaser of these Terms.

LOST GOODWILL, INDIRECT DAMAGES, SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, MORAL DAMAGES, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR ANY
