TERMS AND CONDITION OF SERVICE
PARTIES TO THIS CONTRACT: DEFINITIONS.
As used in these terms and conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”), the terms (a) “Jer’s Elite Auto” shall mean Incline Equity Partners LLC a/k/a Jer’s Elite Auto and the repair facility identified at the top of Work Order; (b) “Work Order” shall mean any work order, proposal, purchase order, or request for repairs (whether authorized by insurance or not) and any addendum thereto (collectively “Contract”) (as applicable) generated by Jer’s Elite Auto or received from Customer which may establish in addition to these Terms and Conditions essential commercial terms not in conflict with these Terms and Conditions; (c) “Customer” shall mean the Customer identified on the Work Order; (d) “Manufacturer” shall mean the entity or entities that manufactured the Parts used in the Services; and (e) “Services” shall mean the repair and/or maintenance services performed by Jer’s Elite Auto for Customer, together with the Parts.
APPLICABILITY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of Parts and Services from Jer’s Elite Auto to Customer. The Terms and Conditions are incorporated into each and every Work Order. In the event of any conflicting provisions in any Work Order or any other document received from Customer, these Terms and Conditions shall control, and Jer’s Elite Auto shall proceed with the sale under the assumption that these Terms and Conditions are the sole terms and conditions binding on the parties. These Terms and Conditions, as may be subsequently modified by Jer’s Elite Auto from time to time without notice, are incorporated by reference into all documents issued by Jer’s Elite Auto to Customer in connection with the sale and provision of Parts & Services; provided, however, that these Terms and Conditions shall only apply to the sale of Parts & Services by Jer’s Elite Auto to the Customer.
NO MODIFICATIONS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
Jer’s Elite Auto’s provision of Parts and Services to Customer is expressly conditioned upon Customer’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Jer’s Elite Auto hereby rejects any terms or conditions which attempt to alter, modify, or change any provision hereof, or otherwise attempt to suspend, contradict, or add to any term or condition contained herein, and Customer hereby waives all such terms or conditions; thus, such shall not be binding on Jer’s Elite Auto unless expressly agreed to in a separate written instrument signed by Jer’s Elite Auto’s authorized representative. Jer’s Elite Auto objects to any different, inconsistent, conflicting, supplemental, or additional terms or conditions and hereby rejects such, whether contained in previous or subsequent proposals or communications (whether oral or written) from or with Customer or implied by trade, custom, practice, course of dealing, or usage in the trade.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS.
LIMITED WARRANTY ON SERVICES: Jer’s Elite Auto warrants that the Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner (“Services Warranty”). The Services Warranty is valid for 24,000 miles or 2 years from the date the Services are performed. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Jer’s Elite Auto’s entire liability under the Services Warranty, is the repair of any non-conforming portion of the Services. The Services Warranty is valid ONLY if the vehicle is returned, at Customer’s expense, to one of Jer’s Elite Auto’s repair facilities for evaluation and repair. Any claim for repairs performed by someone other than a Jer’s Elite Auto facility must be approved in writing by Jer’s Elite Auto prior to commencement of any work; otherwise, such work performed shall void this Services Warranty. This Services Warranty extends only to the Customer for whom the Services were provided and not any subsequent purchaser or transferee. In the event Jer’s Elite Auto is not allowed an opportunity to cure defects in the Services, then Customer unequivocally waives the right to pursue Jer’s Elite Auto for the cost of repair or damages resulting from such defects. Customer agrees that no oral or written representation, guaranty, or warranty made by Jer’s Elite Auto, its employees, agents, or representatives, other than as expressly set out in these Terms and Conditions, shall be binding on Jer’s Elite Auto. Jer’s Elite Auto PROVIDES NO OTHER WARRANTIES CONCERNING ITS SERVICES AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
PARTS – MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES ONLY: Any warranties on any Parts are limited only to those written warranties provided by the applicable Part’s Manufacturer. EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH WARRANTIES MADE BY MANUFACTURERS, THE PARTS ARE SOLD WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EACH OF WHICH IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
NO OTHER WARRANTIES: EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, Jer’s Elite Auto EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
LIMITATION OF Jer’s Elite Auto LIABILITY AND DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT SHALL Jer’s Elite Auto’S LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE THEREOF, EXTEND BEYOND REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF PARTS AND SERVICES OR GIVING CUSTOMER CREDIT FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE OF PARTS AND/OR SERVICES SOLD OR PROVIDED, AT Jer’s Elite Auto’S ELECTION, NOR SHALL Jer’s Elite Auto HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR LOSS OF TIME, COSTS OF LABOR EXPENDED, OR FOR ANY SEPARATE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM REJECTION OF FINISHED WORK BY CUSTOMER OR CAUSED BY THE PARTS AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY Jer’s Elite Auto. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY CUSTOMER AGAINST Jer’s Elite Auto, CUSTOMER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS DEFINED IN THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF INCOME OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, OR DOWN-TIME, OR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER THE DAMAGES BE IN CONTRACT OR TORT. Jer’s Elite Auto’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY PARTS OR SERVICES SOLD SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID TO Jer’s Elite Auto FOR SUCH PARTS OR SERVICES CAUSING THE LIABILITY.
RATES; WORK AUTHORIZATION; ADDITIONAL REPAIRS.
Jer’s Elite Auto’s charges for labor are not based on actual mechanic’s time, but are established by multiplying Jer’s Elite Auto’s labor rate by industry time allowances (flat rate) or Jer’s Elite Auto’s own judgment of the time to be charged. If an estimate is provided, Customer will not be charged more than the estimated price approved by Customer. However, if Jer’s Elite Auto discovers that different or additional repairs are indicated, Customer will be contacted for authorization to make such additional repairs. Authorization may be given by Customer orally or in writing. In the event that Customer authorizes commencement but does not authorize completion of a repair or service, a charge will be imposed for disassembly, reassembly, or partially completed work. Such charge will be directly related to the actual amount of labor or parts involved in the inspection, repair, or service performed. Jer’s Elite Auto will submit warranty claims on behalf of Customer for manufacturers it is authorized to perform warranty service; however, Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for full payment for any Services and Parts provided that are not covered by warranty. Jer’s Elite Auto is not responsible for any loss, damage, or other liability caused by, arising from, or related to repair or maintenance work recommended by Jer’s Elite Auto that is declined by Customer. Customer agrees that Jer’s Elite Auto employees may operate Customer’s vehicle for purposes of facilitating the repairs, including but not limited to diagnosing, road testing, and sublet services.

DAMAGES; THEFT.
Jer’s Elite Auto is not responsible for loss of or damage to the vehicle due to or arising from fire, weather, theft, or any other cause except the sole negligence of Jer’s Elite Auto. Jer’s Elite Auto is not responsible for any loss or damage to articles of personal property that have been left in the vehicle or for loss or damage to bodies, trailers, or special equipment, including any cargo, materials, or supplies carried on or in such bodies, trailers, or special equipment, whatever the cause.
TAXES, DUTIES, BROKERAGE AND OTHER FEES.
In addition to the agreed purchase price for Goods and/or Services, Customer shall pay to Jer’s Elite Auto any and all applicable taxes imposed by any present or future law on the sale, manufacture, delivery, installation, use, and/or other handling of Goods and/or Services, whether such taxes are characterized as goods and services tax, sales tax, use tax, excise tax, value-added tax, business transfer tax, or otherwise (collectively, “Taxes”), but excluding income taxes normally paid by Jer’s Elite Auto, and all other reasonable charges for ancillary services and costs such as forming, galvanizing, and other services.
PAYMENT; STORAGE FEES.
Payment terms not contained on Work Order shall be in addition to the following. All charges for repairs, including Parts and Services furnished, are due and payable simultaneously with the delivery of the described vehicle or prior to delivery upon the expiration of 3 days after notice to the Customer that the repairs have been completed. If the vehicle is not picked up within 3 days after notice is given, Jer’s Elite Auto may charge daily storage fees at rates that are ordinary and customary for the area, but not to exceed $50 per day or the maximum rate allowable by applicable law, whichever is lower. Any deposit required is non-refundable. Any deposit paid shall be applied to the balance of total owed for the Parts and/or Services. Issuance of credit to Customer by Jer’s Elite Auto shall be in Jer’s Elite Auto’s sole and absolute discretion. Time shall be of the essence in payment. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Jer’s Elite Auto has received cleared funds. In the event Customer fails to make payment to Jer’s Elite Auto of any amount due and owing (including any applicable surcharge or freight charge) by the net due date, Jer’s Elite Auto may charge interest on the outstanding balance at an annual compounding rate of 18% or the highest rate allowed by law (whichever is less) until paid in full. Customer shall make all payments due to Jer’s Elite Auto for Goods and/or Services sold without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, abatement or otherwise, unless Customer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Jer’s Elite Auto to Customer. All Goods and/or Services are provided or performed on a firm price basis. Any additional or unscheduled Services which are performed by Jer’s Elite Auto not covered by the Contract must be mutually agreed to in writing signed by both Jer’s Elite Auto and Customer, referencing the applicable Work Order.
DELIVERY; INSTALLATION; AND PERFORMANCE.
Unless specifically agreed to by Jer’s Elite Auto in a separate signed writing, Jer’s Elite Auto does not guarantee any certain date of delivery and shall not be liable to Customer for any losses, costs, damages, charges, or expenses incurred by Customer or any other person or entity arising directly or indirectly out of a failure to deliver and/or install on any particular date, nor will any delay entitle Customer to terminate or rescind its purchase unless such delay exceeds 90 days. Time for delivery is NOT of the essence and shall not be made so by the service of notice from Customer of any certain required date of delivery. Jer’s Elite Auto reserves the right to defer delivery, to cancel the Services, all without liability of any kind whatsoever to Customer, if Jer’s Elite Auto is prevented from or delayed in the carrying on of its business due to causes beyond Jer’s Elite Auto’s control, including, without limitation, strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties, floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, or other unusually severe weather conditions, embargoes, war or other outbreak of hostilities, pandemics, acts of terrorism, acts of God, acts of Customer, market shortages, unavailability of Goods and/or Services or necessary materials, supplies or transportation services, any shift in Parts costs that prohibit or materially reduce the supply of Parts or Services from Jer’s Elite Auto’s suppliers, inability to obtain work space, machinery breakdowns, delays of carriers or suppliers, governmental acts and regulations or other contingency the non-occurrence of which was a basic assumption on which the Contract was accepted. In such a case, Jer’s Elite Auto shall have no obligation to purchase Parts or make other substitute Service arrangements in order to complete delivery and/or installation to Customer.
INDEMNITY.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer shall, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, indemnify, defend, release, and hold harmless Jer’s Elite Auto, its members, managers, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, or proceedings of any kind brought or threatened against Jer’s Elite Auto and/or its managers, members, agents, and employees based on any claim, in whole or in part, that the Parts and/or Services as performed and/or installed by Jer’s Elite Auto in accordance with specifications or other information provided by Customer fail to (i) be adequate for a particular purpose, (ii) comply with any product liability law, rule, or regulation pertaining thereto, (iii) be adequate for any purpose which the Parts and/or Services are put after delivery by Jer’s Elite Auto to Customer, and/or (iv) damages caused to either the Customer’s vehicle or to Jer’s Elite Auto and its employees due to the pre-existing conditions of the vehicle prior to Customer’s delivery of the Vehicle to Jer’s Elite Auto. Customer shall pay all costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, and losses incurred by Jer’s Elite Auto, its members, managers, agents, and/or employees as a result of any such actual or threatened claim, demand, lawsuit, or proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s/legal fees.
