Applicability
General terms. These general terms and conditions of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the sale and provision of exterior and interior painting, sheetrock repair, wallpaper removal, fence staining and painting, concrete staining, and seamless gutter services (the “Services”) by Dixon Painting, Inc. (“Dixon Painting”) to a purchaser of Dixon Painting’s Services (the “Customer”). These terms also govern any goods (e.g. gutters) sold by Dixon Painting (the “Goods”) in relation to the Services.
Priority. These Terms and Dixon Painting’s quotation or estimate, Proposal (defined below), and invoice (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. These Terms prevail over any of Customer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Customer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Customer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
Change of Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dixon Painting may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Customer, provided that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, or the fees or any performance dates set forth in the quotation. Dixon Painting may appoint sub-agents or subcontractors or other persons to act on its behalf or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Goods & Services
Services. Dixon Painting shall provide to Customer the Services as described in Dixon Painting’s standard proposal (the “Proposal”) in accordance with this Agreement. The term “Proposal” shall also include any standard estimate provided by Dixon Painting.
Goods. With respect to any Goods sold by Dixon Painting, if any, Dixon Painting shall provide to Customer the Goods as described in the Proposal in accordance with this Agreement.
Customer’s Acts or Omissions. If Dixon Painting’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Customer or its agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, Dixon Painting will not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any costs, charges or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to the extent arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
Accommodation of Services. With respect to the Services, Customer will (a) cooperate with Dixon Painting in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to Customer’s premises, and such other facilities (including reasonable access to restrooms) as may reasonably be requested by Dixon Painting, for the purposes of performing the Services; (b) keep any pets and small children away from the area where Dixon Painting is performing the Services (c) respond promptly to any Dixon Painting request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Dixon Painting to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (d) provide such customer materials or information as Dixon Painting may reasonably request and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; (e) remove fixtures and other valuable items from the area where Dixon Painting is performing the Services; and (f) comply with any other requirements set forth in any documentation and guidelines provided to Customer by Dixon Painting prior to performance the Services.
Recommendations. As part of this Agreement (and subject to the warranty provisions in Section 7) Dixon Painting may provide recommendations and advice to Customer concerning the type of services needed, the preferred location of the Services within the Customer’s premises, and other matters related to the Services. In giving such recommendations and advice, Dixon Painting relies on Customer’s accurate representations concerning the Customer’s facilities and operations. Customer further acknowledges that, even in the absence of any defects, the performance of the Services may vary based on external factors outside of Dixon Painting’s knowledge or control, including, without limitation, Customer’s use of premises. Dixon Painting will not be responsible for any loss or any defect in the performance of the Services that resulted from Customer’s inaccurate information or from external factors outside of Dixon Painting’s control.
Performance Dates. Dixon Painting shall use reasonable efforts to meeting any performance or completion dates, if any, specified in the Proposal. Customer understands and agrees that any performances or completion dates will be estimates only and that Dixon Painting shall not be liable and shall not be in breach of the Agreement for any failure to meeting any estimated performance or completion dates.

Price
Price. Customer will purchase the Services from Dixon Painting at the price set forth in Dixon Painting’s quotation, Proposal, and/or invoice (the “Price”).
Taxes. All Prices are exclusive of all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any governmental authority on any amounts payable by Customer. Customer will be responsible for all such charges, costs, and taxes. Customer will not be responsible for any taxes imposed on Dixon Painting’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel, real or personal property, or other assets.

Payment Terms
Down Payment. Customer shall, in advance, pay a down payment (“Down Payment”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total Price for the Services and/or Goods. Customer may make payment of the Down Payment by cash, check, or credit card. Customer may pay the Down Payment on the day that Dixon Painting arrives to Customer’s location to provide the Services and/or Goods, but prior to Dixon Painting’s provision of the Services or Goods. The remainder of the Price shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.2 below.
Payment Terms. Dixon Painting shall provide Customer an invoice upon completion of the Services. Customer will pay Dixon Painting the Price (or the remainder of the Price) for the Services and/or Goods upon receipt of Dixon Painting’s invoice. Customer will pay any late fees, in accordance with Section 4.3 below, if Customer fails to provide payment within fifteen (15) days of Customer’s receipt of an invoice.
Interest. Customer will pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Customer will reimburse Dixon Painting for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under these Terms or at law (which Dixon Painting does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Dixon Painting will be entitled to suspend the performance of any additional Services if Customer fails to pay any amounts when due hereunder.
Disputes. Customer will notify Dixon Painting in writing or by email immediately upon receipt of an invoice if Customer disputes any entry on that invoice or the amount invoiced. In the absence of any such written objections, Customer will be deemed to have accepted and acknowledged the invoice as correct.
No Withholding. Customer will not withhold payment of any amounts due and payable by reason of any set-off of any claim or dispute with Dixon Painting, whether relating to Dixon Painting’s breach, bankruptcy or otherwise. Retainage of any kind is unacceptable.

Inspection and Rejection of Nonconforming Goods
With respect to any Goods sold to Customer, Customer will inspect the Goods within 3 days of receipt (“Inspection Period”). Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Goods unless it notifies Dixon Painting in writing of any Nonconforming Goods during the Inspection Period and furnishes such written evidence or other documentation as reasonably required by Dixon Painting. “Nonconforming Goods” means that the product shipped is different than identified in Customer’s purchase order.
If Customer timely notifies Dixon Painting of any Nonconforming Goods, Dixon Painting will, in its sole discretion, (a) replace such Nonconforming Goods with conforming Goods, or (b) credit or refund the Price for such Nonconforming Goods. If Dixon Painting exercises its option to replace Nonconforming Goods, Dixon Painting will, after receiving Customer’s shipment of Nonconforming Goods, ship to Customer, at Customer’s expense and risk of loss, the replaced Goods to the Customer’s location.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in Section 5.2 are Customer’s exclusive remedies for the delivery of Nonconforming Goods. Except as provided under Section 5.2, all sales of Goods to Customer are made on a one-way basis and Customer has no right to return Goods purchased under this Agreement to Dixon Painting.

Change Orders
Customer may request Dixon Painting to perform services or provide materials which are not set forth in the Proposal. Dixon Painting agrees to perform such additional work so long as prior to the performance of such additional work, Customer shall authorize (verbally or in writing) the scope of such additional work and compensation payable to Dixon Painting for the full performance of said additional work. Any additional work performed pursuant to a change order, whether approved by Customer in writing or verbally, is performed at Customer’s sole risk and expense. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that verbal acceptance of any change orders shall be binding upon the Customer. Dixon Painting may charge for the time it spends assessing and documenting a change request from Customer on a time and materials basis in accordance with the Proposal. If Customer is dissatisfied with the color of any paint after Dixon Painting has partially or fully painted Customer’s property or premises, then any request to change the paint color will be considered a change order and Customer shall solely be responsible for any and all costs and expenses incurred in repainting the property or premises, including the full cost of purchasing additional or replacement paint and additional labor. In such an event, the Customer shall, in Dixon Painting’s discretion, remain obligated to pay for any paint already purchased by Dixon Painting on behalf of the Customer or to provide the Services, in addition to any new, additional or replacement paint. Any additional services or equipment not specifically set forth herein shall be at Customer’s additional expense.

Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to other party at any time or for any reason.
Effect of Termination.
The Term’s expiration or earlier termination does not affect any rights or obligations that: (i) are to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; and (ii) were incurred by the parties (including payment for any Services already provided up to the point of termination) before the expiration or earlier termination; provided that all indebtedness of Customer to Dixon Painting of any kind is immediately due and payable on the effective date of the Term’s expiration or earlier termination, without further notice to Customer.

By way of example, if Dixon Painting purchased $100.00 worth of paint to complete the Services and provided three (3) painters who provided painting Services for three (3) days prior to Customer’s termination, then the Customer shall pay Dixon Painting $2,800.00 ($100 for paint + [$300 multiplied by 3 painters multiplied by 3 days of service]).
