Terms And Conditions
The Buyer agrees to pay the outstanding balance through a certified check or money order upon receipt of the goods, confirming the receipt of a finalized version of this purchase order. For deliveries outside the continental U.S., full payment is required prior to shipment, as COD is not available. This quote excludes sales tax, import duties, brokerage fees, installation, and anchor bolts. Under no circumstances should the driver be given cash for any remaining balance on the building. The Buyer’s purchase order will only be deemed legally binding once it has been approved in writing by an authorized representative of ICON. The Project Manager who prepares this order is not an officer of ICON and does not have the authority to accept the order on behalf of ICON. If the order is accepted, a signed “Acceptance” copy will be returned to the Buyer; otherwise, the initial payment will be refunded. Upon acceptance of the order, the Buyer relinquishes the right to claim any refund on the initial payment made to ICON’s Project Manager. If there are delays not caused by ICON, any increases in steel prices, materials, or shipping costs after the requested delivery date will be passed on to the Buyer. The Buyer will be informed of such changes through a Change Order detailing the new pricing. The Buyer must approve the changes by signing the Change Order or may choose to cancel the contract, but they will still be responsible for any work completed and materials ordered prior to the cancellation date. Complete terms and conditions can be reviewed at www.iconsteelbuildings.com and are incorporated by reference. Any items not specifically mentioned in this proposal, such as foundation design or anchor bolts, are excluded from the quoted pricing.
