- Applicable Contract Provisions. These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, together with any other documents which Anser Innovation LLC (“Seller”) has attached hereto or has specifically referenced as part of the contract with the party purchasing products from Seller (“Buyer”) shall constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer (the “Agreement”) regarding the purchase of PetChatz® products (the “Products”) from Seller and shall supersede all other agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the purchase of the Products. By accepting delivery of the Products, Buyer agrees to be bound by and accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement. These terms and conditions are subject to change at any time in Seller’s sole discretion upon written notice. Buyer’s acceptance of any quotation submitted by Seller is expressly conditioned upon Buyer’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and no other terms or conditions shall apply to the sale of Products by Seller to Buyer unless expressly agreed to by Seller in writing. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY UNLESS BUYER HAS A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH SELLER THAT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT SUCH WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPLACES THIS AGREEMENT.
- Purchase Price.
- Price. The price for the Products shall be the price quoted by Seller to Buyer in writing, or, in the event no quotation was made, at the price set forth on Seller’s price list in effect as of the date of delivery requested by Buyer. Typographical errors in stated product prices are subject to correction. Seller will not accept a purchase order requesting a delivery of Products that is less than the listed price.
- Shipping, Insurance and Taxes. All prices for Products are quoted FOB Seller’s Winona, Minnesota. Seller will arrange for shipment of the Products to the location stated by Buyer in the purchase order. All charges relating to the shipment, delivery or insuring of the Products during shipment shall be added to the invoice for the Products and shall be paid by Buyer. The amount of any present or future sales, revenue, excise, or other tax applicable to the sale of the Products to Buyer shall be added to the purchase price and shall be paid by Buyer, or in lieu thereof, Buyer shall provide Seller with a tax exemption certificate acceptable to the appropriate taxing authorities.
- Payment Terms.
- Terms of Payment. Buyer shall pay the total purchase price for the ordered Products in advance of shipment, unless Seller agrees in a separate writing to grant payment terms to Buyer. If Seller agrees to grant payment terms to Buyer, Seller may alter or revoke such credit terms at any time without notice. If, in Seller’s sole judgment, Buyer’s financial condition or any other circumstance causes Seller to be insecure with respect to Buyer’s performance of any obligation under a purchase order, Seller may accelerate and demand immediate payment of any amounts owed Seller, cancel a purchase order or suspend performance under a purchase order.
- Disputed Invoices. Buyer shall pay invoices rendered by Seller covering Products not in dispute regardless of disputes relating to other invoices. Buyer waives the right to assert offsets or counter-claims with respect to such invoices.
- Late Payment Fee. Any amounts not paid by Buyer when due will be subject to a late payment fee computed daily at a rate equal to the lesser of one percent (1.0%) per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable usury law. Buyer shall also be liable to Seller for all costs incurred by Seller in its collection of any amounts owing by Buyer which are not paid when due, including collection agency fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, regardless whether actual lawsuit is commenced against Buyer. In addition, if any amounts are not paid by Buyer when due, Seller may elect to withhold further shipments of Products to Buyer or ship Products on a C.O.D. basis until the account is current.
- Security for Payment of Purchase Price. Buyer hereby grants to Seller a security interest in the Products and proceeds thereof to secure payment of the purchase price of the Products and all of Buyer’s related and incidental obligations to Seller. Upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall execute suitable financing statements for filing. Seller may file this Agreement as a financing statement.
- Restrictions.
- Sales Channel. Buyer may market, distribute and sell the Products by means of the buyer’s website and store locations. Buyer may NOT sell Products on Amazon.com, eBay or any third-party website without prior written approval from Anser Innovation LLC.

Products may not be linked to or appear on web pages or other media containing inappropriate material such as, but not limited to, material that is obscene (including child pornography), sexually explicit, defamatory, libelous, threatening, abusive, hateful, excessively violent, racially offensive or that the Seller otherwise deems harmful or offensive.
- Shipment and Delivery Terms.
- Shipment. Seller will package the Products for domestic shipment in accordance with standard commercial practices. The carrier shall be deemed to be Buyer’s agent, and Buyer shall make all claims with respect to damage in transit against the responsible carrier.
- Title to Products, Risk of Loss. Title to and all risk of loss concerning the Products shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to a common carrier, or to any private carrier designated by Buyer, for shipment to Buyer. Buyer’s rejection of any Products shall not shift such risk until the Products are returned to Seller, freight prepaid, pursuant to Seller’s written authorization.
- Delivery Schedule. Buyer shall provide Seller with at least ten (10) days lead time from the date a purchase order is submitted and the delivery dates requested by Buyer in the purchase order. Any delivery dates agreed to by Seller are estimates only based on prevailing conditions as of the date agreed, and Seller’s failure to meet the same shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Seller.
- Force Majeure. Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any delay or failure of delivery or of any other performance caused in whole or in part by any contingency beyond Seller’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, terrorist activities, acts of any government or any agency or subdivision thereof or shortage of or inability to secure labor, fuel, energy, raw materials, supplies or machinery at reasonable prices or from regular sources. In the event of raw material shortages Seller may allocate product production among its customers without liability to Buyer.
- Inspection and Acceptance. Buyer shall inspect all Products upon arrival and shall notify Seller in writing of any shortages, nonconformance with the purchase order or any other failures to conform to this Agreement which are reasonably discoverable upon arrival. Any such shortages and other discoverable nonconformance or other failures under this Agreement not reported within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Products shall be forever waived by Buyer.
- Cancellation or Modification of Order. Buyer’s order shall not be subject to cancellation or reduction in any amount after Seller has accepted such order, without the express, prior written consent of Seller. If Seller agrees to any extension of a scheduled shipment date beyond thirty (30) days of the original scheduled shipment date, Buyer shall pay Seller twenty percent (20%) of the purchase price of the Products subject to such extended shipment date to cover Seller’s damages relating to the extension of the shipment date.
- No Returns of Unsold Product. All sales of the Products to Buyer are final. Buyer may not return any unsold Products for any reason.

Once the seller receives the returned product, the seller will ship a new replacement product to the buyer.

If Seller elects to repossess any Product, Buyer shall permit Seller, with or without legal process, to enter all premises where the Products are located to remove or take possession of the same. Ten (10) days advance notice of any intended disposition of repossessed Products shall be deemed reasonable.
- LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO BUYER OR ANY PERSON CLAIMING THROUGH BUYER FOR, AND BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ALL INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF WARRANTY OR OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FORESEEABLE BUSINESS LOSSES, LOSS OF PROFITS AND RELIANCE DAMAGES.

- Modification and Waiver. No purported amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be binding unless set forth in writing signed by an officer of Seller and an officer of Buyer. Any waiver shall be limited to the circumstance or event specifically referenced in the written waiver document and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other term of this Agreement or of the same circumstance or event upon any recurrence thereof. The failure of Seller or Buyer to enforce any provision of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision nor of the right of Seller or Buyer thereafter to enforce such provision.
- Severability. If any provision hereof is held to be unenforceable by final order of any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed here from and shall not affect the interpretation or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.
