- ENTIRE AGREEMENT:
This agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to all Pursuit Distributors, Inc. (“PDI”) Sales transactions and all other PDI or PDI agent provided services. Pursuit Distributors, Inc. (“PDI”) Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) govern all Sales transactions and all other PDI or PDI agent provided services between PDI and its customers (“Buyer”). All rights, responsibilities, obligations, and remedies of PDI and Buyer are defined in these T&Cs. Any prior written or verbal agreements between PDI and a Buyer, including but not limited to terms in a Buyer purchase order that conflicts with or are in addition to PDI T&Cs are not acceptable to nor binding to PDI unless agreed to in writing in a separate agreement between a senior officer of PDI and an authorized representative of the Buyer. All sales transactions and all other PDI services are bound by these T&Cs.
- SHIPPING/Freight terms:
PDI standard shipping terms or freight terms are F.O.B. Origin which is also known as Free On Board - shipping point. Ownership of goods and all risk of loss for goods transfers immediately to the Buyer when the carrier picks up the order. PDI uses a designated list of carriers for small parcel, Less Than Truckload “(LTL)” and Truckload (“TL”) shipments and will provide a tracking number to the Buyer when available from the carrier. Buyer is responsible for filing any freight claims directly with the carrier for freight damage, shortage, or missing shipments. PDI will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer with a freight claim if the carrier does not respond to the Buyer’s inquiry on a reasonably timely basis. Commercially reasonable efforts to meet Buyer’s special packaging and or handling request will be made at an additional cost to the Buyer. PDI is not responsible for shipping errors caused by Buyer’s or Buyer’s agent ordering errors.
- SALES prices:
PDI makes every effort to ensure selling prices on our web store are accurate. As prices change on the web store, the price in effect at the time of shipment will be the price charged. Buyer is also responsible for any applicable transportation cost or other charges resulting from Buyer’s special handling requests. PDI charges applicable state sales tax based on the shipping address unless the Buyer provides a valid and current sales tax exemption certificate.
- DELIVERY:
PDI uses industry leading freight providers for Small Parcel, Less Than Truckload and Truckload deliveries. PDI is not responsible for delays due to freight carriers’ availability or inability to provide anticipated delivery services. PDI makes every effort to ship orders received before 2:00 pm EST that same day. Orders received after 2:00 pm EST will be scheduled to ship the following day. Orders for Indoor Air Quality products totaling $3,500 or more are shipped as Freight Pre-paid and Allowed. PDI will charge the Buyer applicable freight for all orders totaling under $3,500 and also include additional costs for any applicable special handling requests and special freight delivery requests such as lift gate services. Buyer is also responsible for all shipping charges resulting from Buyer’s errors concerning the shipping address. PDI is not responsible for PDI’s non-performance due to an act of God, pandemics such as COVID-19, war, labor disputes or strikes, civil disorder, insufficient product quantities, carrier delays or shipping damages or any other circumstances out of PDI’s control. Under no situation or circumstance shall PDI be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or losses or expenses resulting from delayed shipping dates or anticipated delivery dates or for failing to give notice to Buyer of delayed shipping dates or anticipated delivery dates.
- PAYMENT for goods and services:
PDI’s preferred method of payment is by credit card which provides protection to Buyer and PDI. As most orders ship the same day or the next business day after the order is received, Buyer is charged for products, freight, sales tax and all other applicable charges including special handling charges as the order is received. PDI reserves the right to charge Buyer in a subsequent transaction, following the charge for the invoice, for freight charges that are not known to PDI when the order is received. PDI also extends credit account privileges to certain Buyers who have established an excellent payment history with PDI and or other vendors. A late payment shall require PDI to consider the Buyer’s entire account as due immediately and shall not require PDI to notify the Buyer. All past due amounts are subject to a FINANCE CHARGE of 1.5% PER MONTH (18% per annum). Buyer’s obligation to pay is contingent only upon PDI shipping Buyer’s orders from PDI shipping locations or PDI’s vendor shipping locations, both of which ship under PDI standard FOB Origin freight terms. Buyer is not entitled to withhold any amounts from PDI and is obligated to pay each invoice in accordance to the payment terms issued to the Buyer by PDI. Buyer is not entitled to withhold from any payment any amount Buyer believes PDI owes Buyer. Buyer’s credit application is hereby incorporated by reference.
- INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE responsibility:
As PDI Freight terms are FOB Origin for all sales orders, Buyer assumes ownership of goods once a freight carrier picks up the Buyer’s order from a designated PDI shipping location. Therefore, Buyer is responsible for inspecting all orders immediately upon receipt. All claims for visible damage or concealed damage and shortages are the Buyer’s responsibility to manage with the freight carrier. PDI will assist the Buyer with a freight claim in the event the carrier does not respond within a commercially reasonable period of time. Buyer also has 5 business days after the invoice date to notify PDI in writing via email at CustomerCare@PursuitDistributors.com of any shipping errors such as an incorrect item or quantity shipped. Buyer has 5 business days from the date of an invoice to notify PDI of any billing errors on PDI’s invoice to Buyer. No claims will be accepted after the 5th business day following the invoice date.
- Product RETURNS:
Buyer is entitled to return products purchased from PDI not more than 120 days past the invoice date of the original order. Only products currently stocked by PDI that PDI has not designated as discontinued or obsolete and product that has not been used, installed, modified or repaired and is, in PDI’s sole opinion, in resalable condition in its original packaging with all original materials and parts enclosed shall be eligible for return. Buyer is responsible for return freight charges resulting from Buyer’s or Buyer’s agent ordering errors and for products no longer needed by Buyer. PDI uses a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number to authorize and track all returns and Buyer is subject to a maximum 30% Restock Charge for all returned products unless the return is a result of a PDI shipping error documented in writing via email to CustomerCare@PursuitDistributors.com . Special order products and products with the Buyer’s private brand mark are not subject to return.

If directed by PDI, Buyer is responsible for disposing of the product in accordance with local laws.
