Each provision of damages is severable and independent of any other provision and is to be enforced as such.

5. Shipment of Goods and Risk of Loss

All shipment dates are approximate and are based on prompt receipt of all necessary information from buyer. Winkle cannot be held responsible for delays in shipping outside its control and Winkle will not be liable for not filling any order or portion thereof due to such delays. In the event of shipping delays, there shall be no termination of this agreement and the date of delivery shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay. Unless otherwise specified by Winkle, all delivery will be made and title will pass F.O.B. point of shipment to buyer. Winkle shall maintain a security interest in its products and reserves the right to repossess any products for which it has not been paid. This includes products/items already shipped to an end customer. Winkle reserves the right to require financing statements (UCC-1) to be executed by buyer on orders exceeding $30,000.00. All goods are delivered to the carrier in good condition. Winkle’s liability for the condition of the goods ends at that time. If a shipment of goods is received damaged, buyer must accept the shipment and immediately contact the freight carrier for damage inspection. If concealed damage is found, buyer shall immediately notify the carrier that delivered the goods and request an inspection. If a shipment is not delivered by the carrier to buyer in accordance with the quantity of cartons or packages as shown on the bill of lading and/or freight bill, buyer should not accept the shipment until such shortages are noted on the bill of lading or freight bill.

Any claims against Winkle for shortages, errors and/or nonconforming goods shall be made by buyer within ten (10) days after delivery and failure to make such a claim shall be considered an indication of buyer’s acceptance thus waiving claims for shortages, errors, or other claims.
