1. Applicability

1.1 These Terms govern all sales of food items and related products (the “Goods”) by Seller. In addition to these Terms, the Seller may issue (a) a credit application with its own terms and conditions (“Credit Application”), and (b) other document(s) identifying the Buyer, the Goods ordered, or other specific terms of the transaction
(“Order Documents”). The Order Documents may include the Seller’s routing form, order confirmation, or invoice. In the event of conflict between these Terms and the Credit Application or Order Documents, these Terms shall prevail.
1.2 These Terms, the Credit Application, and the Order Documents (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral.
These Terms prevail over any of Buyer’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend theseTerms.

2. Delivery of Goods

2.1 The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Buyer’s purchase order and the issuance of Seller’s Order Documents. Seller reserves the option to assign specific delivery days and/or
maintain open delivery windows to Buyer’s locations. Seller will not be liable for any delays, loss or damage in transit.
2.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Buyer will take possession and title to the Goods upon delivery to the receiving dock of Buyer (“Delivery Point”) and upon Seller’s acceptance of an authorized signature of Buyer or Buyer’s agent.

The Cancellation Fee is not a penalty but is meant to reimburse Seller for administrative and restocking costs incurred as a result of Buyer’s cancellation. Without waiving any of the foregoing, at Seller’s sole discretion, Seller may attempt to deliver the Goods at another time or place without cancelling the order.
3.2 Either Party may cancel the order or terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason upon reasonable notice to the other Party. If Buyer cancels an order less than 2 hours before scheduled delivery, Buyer shall be liable for the Cancellation Fee.
