Applicability.  

  • These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms") are the only terms that govern the sale of all goods and products by SKM (defined below) whether modified or originally manufactured by SKM, in whatever form, ("Goods") by Stu Kelly Motorsports, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("SKM") to the buyer named on the Order Confirmation (as defined below) ("Buyer"). Collectively Buyer and SKM are referred to as the "Parties" and individually as "Party."  
  • The accompanying order confirmation (the "Order Confirmation") and these Terms (collectively, this "Agreement") comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. This Agreement supersedes any of Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. SKM expressly rejects Buyer's general terms and conditions of purchase, and fulfillment of Buyer's order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer's terms and conditions or serve to modify or amend these Terms. Acceptance of the Order Confirmation by Buyer (which shall be deemed accepted should Buyer not object in writing within two (2) business days of receipt of the Order Confirmation) is a prerequisite to the purchase of the Goods and shall operate as an acceptance of these Terms which are expressly incorporated into the Order Confirmation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both Parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods (“Master Agreement”), then the Master Agreement shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these Terms.

  • SKM may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Buyer. Each shipment will constitute a separate sale, and Buyer shall pay for the units shipped whether such shipment is in whole or partial fulfillment of Buyer's purchase order.

As collateral security for the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, Buyer hereby grants to SKM a lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title, and interest of Buyer in, to, and under the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all proceeds (including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this provision constitutes a purchase money security interest under the Indiana Uniform Commercial Code.
