Payment Terms
 Net invoice amount will be due and payable upon receipt of goods for accounts in good standing. Orders may also be prepaid by Check, Cashier's Check, or Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express cards are accepted). We do not accept COD orders. For your added security, we use encrypted payment systems (128 bit SSL) on our website so no clear text copies of your credit card number are transmitted over the internet. Because XpressMats.WaterHogMats.com is a SmartSign Store, your credit card statement will show the name, SmartSign. We reserve the right to require a deposit of up to fifty percent (50%) of the order value for all orders over one-thousand dollars ($1,000) before beginning production. A late charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, eighteen percent (18%) per year will be applied to account balances not paid in accordance with our terms. Any account balances still owing six (6) months after delivery of goods will be declared delinquent and we reserve the right to take any and all collection steps, as we in our sole discretion deem necessary or appropriate, to collect the delinquent balance, up to and including any and all appropriate legal or equitable action. The cost of such collection efforts, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, will be charged to the customers account.

Price and Product Specifications

   All Prices are shown in U.S. Dollars. All prices are F.O.B. Seller's facilities. Prices, minimums, quantities and specifications are subject to change without notice. Partial orders of products may be shipped from time to time so long as the ordered quantity is shipped by the shipment date. Actual color of the products may vary from those shown, due to limitations of computer transmission and printing process.

Top
Purchase Orders
We accept purchase orders for orders over two-hundred dollars ($200). Please contact us by phone or email to set up a new account. We will not accept purchase orders unless you already have an account established with us. Orders under two-hundred dollars ($200) require a credit card. Placement of an order does not constitute an offer to sell. Each order shall be reviewed on its merits and is subject to acceptance by Seller.
Post Order Paperwork: One of the reasons our prices are so competitive is that we keep our overhead to a minimum. The Internet allows us to keep our distribution and paperwork costs extremely low. Except for providing a W-9 and/or an invoice, we will not countenance any requests from our customers to comply with their post order paperwork needs. So if your purchasing procedures require your suppliers to complete a questionnaire, certify that they have not bribed a foreign government, register, provide bank account information or references, or even just sign a purchase order, we suggest you take your business elsewhere. By ordering on our web site you agree that you are liable to pay for the goods we sell you even if we do not meet any of your post order paperwork demands.

Top
Delivery We begin processing all orders the day that you finish your design. Most orders of stock items are shipped in one (1) to three (3) days. Most custom orders are shipped in five (5) to seven (7) working days. Use our tracking feature in the 'Order Status/Tracking' section of the tab My Account to view the status of your order.

Title and Risk of Loss
 Title and risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser at the time of delivery to the carrier for shipment. This provision shall apply even if a price is quoted F.O.B. destination.

Shipping
Most products can be shipped to all fifty (50) states, as well as APO and FPO addresses and Puerto Rico. However, the following restrictions apply:

• Free Shipping offers only apply to the contiguous forty-eight (48) states.

• Our free shipping offer is not applicable for shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

• We cannot ship internationally, except to Canada, nor do we ship to U.S. Protectorates (except as noted above) or Guam.

• We ship to all Canadian provinces except NT - Northwest Territories, NU - Nunavut and YT - Yukon.

• Because we ship everything from the United States, orders to Canada may have raised shipping costs due to customs tax and additional entry fees.

• APO/FPO orders are shipped via standard delivery only.

• Heavy or oversized products can be shipped only to the contiguous forty-eight (48) states. They cannot be shipped to APO/FPO addresses.

• Certain items can only be shipped to the continental forty-eight (48) states via standard delivery, and cannot be shipped to APO/FPO addresses.

• For certain orders, a signature will be required upon delivery.

• Due to dramatically higher fuel and freight costs, we do not extend our Free Shipping offer to a limited number of very heavy items.

If you have a question on shipping availability of a product, please contact Customer Service.
All prices are shown F.O.B. Seller's facilities. Shipping charges will apply to all orders at the current rate and shall be added to the invoice.

Claims
 Our responsibility for the shipment of merchandise ends when the carrier accepts the products. All claims for damage or shortages must be made directly with the carrier, within seven (7) days after your receipt of the merchandise, after which, the merchandise will be deemed accepted. Claims made after this time period will not be honored. All shipments should be inspected immediately upon receipt of, and prior to any use of, the merchandise. The filing of such a claim in no way alters the terms of payment due.

Returns of Stock Items
 We know you will be pleased with our products! For stock products, we even give you twenty-one (21) days to make up your mind. If you are not satisfied, just call us within twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of the merchandise. When you call please ask for a 'Return Authorization'. Return requests made within twenty-one (21) days from your receipt of the merchandise will be accepted but a ten dollar ($10.00) service charge will be added, plus a restocking fee of twenty-five percent (25%) of the order value. Shipping costs for returns are the Purchaser's responsibility. If more than twenty-one (21) days have passed since your receipt of the merchandise, Seller may, in its discretion, accept returns of undamaged merchandise and replace or issue credit for any merchandise so returned. Any authorized return of undamaged merchandise, either returned or refused, more than twenty-one (21) days after your receipt of the merchandise will be subject to a thirty percent (30%) restocking fee and appropriate freight charges. No undamaged merchandise will be accepted after thirty (30) days from delivery date. Credit will not be issued on worn or used products. No return merchandise will be credited without a return authorization issued by Seller.

Returns of Custom Items
 Due to their unique nature, we are unable to accept returns of customized products, unless, a defect in manufacturing is present as reasonably determined by us. Please make sure that you approve the online proof and check material specifications.

Top
Order Cancellations
 For stock products, cancellation notices must be received by Seller in writing, at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the shipment date and may be subject to a re-stocking charge in Seller's discretion. If you cancel a custom order before production has started, we may be able to accommodate your request. However, we in no way guarantee that we will be able to accommodate custom order cancellation requests. Once a custom order reaches the factory floor, we are unable to issue any refund. Given our fast turnarounds, this generally occurs within a day or two of your approval.
