(a) These terms of sale (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the sale of the goods (“Goods”) and services (“Services”) by Minnesota Ice Sculptures L. L. C., a Minnesota limited liability company (“Seller”), to the buyer (“Buyer”) named on the invoice to which these Terms are attached (the “Invoice”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods and Services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms.

(b) The Invoice 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. These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may, from time to time change the Services without the consent of Buyer 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 Invoice.

Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods upon Seller’s notice that the Goods have been delivered to the Delivery Point.

(c) Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of the Goods and performance of Services 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 an Invoice.

(d) Buyer shall (i) cooperate with Seller in all matters relating to the sale of Goods and performance of the Services and provide such access to Buyer’s premises, and such other facilities as may reasonably be requested by Seller, for the purposes of the sale of Goods and performance of Services; (ii) respond promptly to any Seller request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Seller to sell Goods and perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; (iii) provide such customer materials or information as Seller may reasonably request to carry out sale of Goods and performance of Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects; and (iv) obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and consents and comply with all applicable laws in relation to the sale of Goods and performance of Services before the date on which the Goods are sold or Services are to start.
