All sales by the member of the Vulcraft Group of Nucor Corporation identified on the applicable sales order acknowledgement ("Vulcraft") are made subject to the following terms and conditions. Vulcraft expressly rejects any different or additional terms or conditions contained in any document(s) submitted by Buyer. Vulcraft's provision of credit, acceptance of any purchase order and/or sale of any goods are expressly made conditional on Buyer's assent to these terms and conditions. All orders by Buyer are only accepted upon issuance of Vulcraft's sales order acknowledgement.

  1. Except as otherwise agreed in a writing signed by Buyer and Vulcraft, these terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between Vulcraft and Buyer relating to the sale of such goods by Vulcraft. Terms or conditions contained in any document issued by Buyer that in any manner purport to alter, modify, change, suspend, or add to any term or condition contained herein shall be deemed excluded from such Buyer document and waived by Buyer. Vulcraft and Buyer expressly agree that Vulcraft may modify these terms and conditions from time to time, and such modifications shall be binding upon Buyer.
  2. An approved fabrication list or an approved drawing must be delivered to Vulcraft by Buyer before fabrication is scheduled. Buyer cannot modify, cancel, or otherwise alter any order without Vulcraft's written consent. Any such cancellation, modification, or alteration shall be subject to conditions as negotiated at such time, which shall include protection of Vulcraft against loss.
  3. The purchase price of the goods shall be as stated on the face of the applicable Buyer customer order coinciding with a valid Vulcraft quotation; provided, however, Buyer expressly agrees that Vulcraft in its sole discretion may adjust the purchase price to take into account market fluctuations in the price of goods in the event delivery occurs later than 16 weeks after the date of the order. Payment terms are ½ of 1 % discount if paid within ten days of invoice date, net thirty days from date of invoice. Tax is not subject to discount. No retainage will be permitted. Checks or payments, whether full or partial, received from or for the account of Buyer, regardless of writings, legends or notations upon such checks or payments, or regardless of other writings, statements or documents, shall be applied by Vulcraft against the amount owing by Buyer with full reservation of all Vulcraft's rights and without an accord and satisfaction of Buyer's liability. Any remittance marked paid-in-full or any correspondence related to any dispute must be mailed to Vulcraft at the following address where disputes are handled:
  4. If, in Vulcraft's opinion, Buyer's credit becomes impaired, Vulcraft may suspend performance until such time as Vulcraft has received full payment for any goods already delivered or in process and is satisfied in its sole discretion as to Buyer's credit for future deliveries. If Vulcraft suspends performance and later proceeds with such order, Vulcraft shall be entitled to such extension of time for performance as is necessitated by the suspension. Further, in the event Buyer fails to make payment to Vulcraft, or any affiliate of Vulcraft, of any amounts due and owing to Vulcraft or such affiliate (including any applicable surcharge or freight charge), Vulcraft shall have the right to terminate any Buyer order or any unfulfilled portion thereof, and Vulcraft or any affiliate thereof may terminate any other agreement between Vulcraft or such affiliate and Buyer. Vulcraft may charge interest on the outstanding balance at an annual rate of 12% or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less). Vulcraft shall have the right to employ an attorney to collect the balance due, and Buyer agrees to pay all collection costs incurred by Vulcraft, including its reasonable attorneys' fees.
  5. All taxes of any kind levied by any federal, state, municipal or other government authority which Vulcraft is required to collect or pay with respect to the production, sale or shipment of goods sold hereunder shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay all such taxes and further agrees to reimburse Vulcraft for any such payments made by Vulcraft.

The price for truck delivery includes two hours for unloading after arrival of the truck at the destination; excess unloading time charges may be charged to Buyer, and Buyer shall pay the same.
  9. Buyer agrees to carefully check goods against shipping documents upon unloading at destination. Vulcraft shall not be liable for any claim for shortages or for improper or damaged goods unless such claims are specifically noted on the shipping documents at the time of unloading.
