Terms of Service

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a binding and enforceable legal contract between Makat Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware including its subsidiaries or affiliated companies (collectively, the “Company”) and you, a legal entity identified in the Purchase Order (as such term is defined below) (“Customer”). Each of the Company and the Customer will be referred to herein as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”.

BY EXECUTING A PURCHASE ORDER, THE CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY AND EXPLICITLY REPRESENTS THAT CUSTOMER POSSESSES THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS (AND THE INDIVIDUAL EXECUTING THE PURCHASE ORDER, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, REPRESENTS THAT HE/SHE IS DULY AUTHORIZED AND HAS THE RIGHT, POWER AND AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT OR ENTER INTO THESE TERMS ON HIS/HER ORGANIZATION'S BEHALF) AND TO FORM A BINDING AGREEMENT UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, AND, UPON RECEIVING THE PURCHASE ORDER CONFIRMATION FROM THE COMPANY, CUSTOMER HEREBY ACCEPTS AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.  

1. Definitions

“Delivery Date” means the actual date whereby the Products have been delivered to Customer (whether via common carrier or picked-up directly by Customer, as stipulated under the Purchase Order).  

“Products” means the products intended for purchase by the Customer, as specified in the applicable Purchase Order Confirmation.

“Company’s Suppliers” means the specific suppliers or manufacturers with whom the Company engages in order to deliver the Products to the Customer hereunder. 

2. Purchase Order

Company shall issue a written quote to Customer, via e-mail, based on Customer’s request regarding the purchase of certain products (“Quote”). Such Quote shall state, at minimum, the quantity and kind of the requested products, the expected delivery date, the pricing and payment terms and the delivery method, and shall include a link to these Terms which will govern the Parties engagement. Within five (5) business days following the receipt of the Quote, Customer shall accept and confirm the Quote by issuing, via email, a purchase order to the Company which will be based on the Quote and includes the exact quantity and kind of the requested products and the Customer’s relevant details (“Purchase Order”). Within two (2) business days following the receipt of the Purchase Order, Company shall, pursuant to its sole and absolute discretion, accept and confirm the Purchase Order by issuing, via e-mail, a PO confirmation to the Customer which will accept the transaction information included under the Purchase Order and includes the updated expected delivery date and a link to these Terms together with a clarification that these Terms govern and supersede any additional or contrary terms set forth in any other document (“Purchase Order Confirmation”).

In the event that the Parties agreed under the Purchase Order that the delivery method is the second option (i.e., DAP), it is hereby clarified that the Company may ship the Products cross border, provided that Customer shall be responsible for timely obtaining all export/import permits required, handling the customs clearance process, and shall bear all related costs including those which the Company may include in the Customer’s purchase invoice issued by the Company (including, without limitation, any customs duties payable on the Products upon their arrival in the destination country).
