TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT TERMS

Scott Equipment provides certain website features and other products and services to you when you visit scotteq.com or use Scott Equipment applications, software or services or when you receive or use any of Scott Equipment's printed catalogs or purchase any product from Scott Equipment (each of the foregoing is singly a "Service" and collectively, the "Services"). By purchasing products or using any of the other Services, you agree that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all of the provisions set forth herein and the terms and conditions on any quotation, order acknowledgement, invoice or other form you receive from Scott Equipment, all of which constitute a single agreement between you and Scott Equipment (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions"). The Terms and Conditions constitute the exclusive agreement between you and Scott Equipment with respect to the Services and the content accessed through the Services (the "Content"); provided, however, that if you access the Services by a mobile application, that access shall also be subject to the terms of the end user license agreement associated with the mobile application. To the extent of any conflict between the Terms and Conditions and the end user license agreement for a mobile application, the Terms and Conditions shall govern. Our failure to assert a right or insist upon compliance with any term or condition shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse any subsequent noncompliance. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

EFFECTIVE DATE AND CHANGES IN TERMS

The Terms and Conditions are effective as of the version date set forth at the end of the Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right to change the Terms and Conditions at any time by providing notice to you, and your use after any change signifies your acceptance of the changed terms. That notice may be given by making a revision to the Terms and Conditions and changing the version date shown below.

At Scott Equipment's request, the buyer shall sign financing statements and other documents necessary to perfect and continue the security interest. If Scott Equipment in its sole judgement questions the Buyer's ability to pay for the goods, Scott Equipment may, at any time, require payment in full in advance of delivery or manufacture of the goods.
