This disclaimer/limitation of remedies <strong>and</strong> liability applies to the green roof trays sold by <strong>Eco</strong>-<br />

<strong>Roofs</strong>. No person or companies representing or acting to represent <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> shall be entitled to<br />

waive or vary the terms set forth herein <strong>and</strong> any attempt to do so shall be void <strong>and</strong> of no effect.<br />

Terms<br />

Disclaimers<br />

<strong>and</strong> Terms<br />

payment is 40% for new customers (first time buyers) <strong>and</strong> 20% for established customers in good terms. The balance will be due per<br />

customer’s terms from the date of invoice (date of shipment.)<br />

C.O.D. payments in the form of cash or check can be given to the driver prior to unloading if the driver is an <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> driver<br />

or approved by <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong>. For shipment by common carrier, C.O.D. payments must be pre-arranged by check received by <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong><br />

prior to shipment or by credit card. Credit card payments must be made with the office during normal business hours prior to unloading.<br />

Failure to provide proper <strong>and</strong> timely payment arrangements may result in additional charges including but not limited to detention time,<br />

restocking fees, additional freight, etc.<br />

Unpaid account surcharge is 1.5% per month (18% per year.) A returned check charge of $35 will be charged on all returned<br />

checks. Payments will be applied to accrued interest first.<br />

Contracts are for the total amount ordered. Any product returned or refused will be subject to additional freight costs <strong>and</strong> will not<br />

be credited.<br />

Shipping <strong>and</strong> Delayed Trucking Charges<br />

All final shipping arrangements must be made at least two weeks in advance including the date <strong>and</strong> time of deliveries <strong>and</strong> the<br />

number of square feet to be delivered per day. Any changes made within the five days prior to shipment will incur additional charges to<br />

cover costs.<br />

If the delivery truck is on site for more than 3 hours, an additional charge of $90 per hour will be assessed beginning with the 4th hour.<br />

Unloading is the responsibility of the customer. The driver will help bring product to the back of the truck only but may require<br />

assistance. Product is shipped on rolling metal racks in an enclosed truck that will require some type of forklift to unload. The racks can<br />

weigh up to 2500 lbs. Lifting equipment must be capable of h<strong>and</strong>ling this weight. Racks must be unloaded, emptied <strong>and</strong> reloaded on the<br />

truck as soon as possible to avoid detention charges. Racks are heavy <strong>and</strong> may require two individuals to move them. They roll best on<br />

hard, flat surfaces. Thick plywood may be required especially on the roof to move the racks <strong>and</strong> to provide a l<strong>and</strong>ing area.<br />

If special arrangements are necessary to store racks for a time on site to avoid truck detention charges, they must be made in advance<br />

with permission granted by <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong>’s shipping department. Racks on site are the responsibility of the customer <strong>and</strong> damage<br />

or loss of the racks can result in additional charges up to $600/rack. Loss or damage to trays or plant material left sitting on racks is the<br />

customer’s responsibility <strong>and</strong> if left uninstalled for an extended time, may void the warranty.<br />

Steel cradles are available on loan for lifting racks by crane <strong>and</strong> other methods. Please contact <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> if these are needed <strong>and</strong><br />

we will give you information on the requirements. Damages can occur when racks are lifted improperly.<br />

Damages incurred while moving <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong>’s trays off the truck, on or off of the cradles <strong>and</strong> anywhere on the job site is the responsibility<br />

of the customer <strong>and</strong> the signature on the quote, order or contract releases <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> from responsibility for any <strong>and</strong> all damages.<br />

Disclaimer<br />

Purchaser assumes full responsibility for installation <strong>and</strong> protection of its property. <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> assumes no responsibility for any<br />

damage or loss, or loss that may be incurred by the purchaser as a result of improper installation. <strong>Eco</strong>-<strong>Roofs</strong> assumes no responsibility<br />

for the structural integrity of the roof on which this system is placed or installed.<br />

system manufacturer should always be consulted before applying any type of green roof system.<br />
