Amounts charged on credit cards are limited. Seller may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion based upon any reasonable negative credit review and/or any site review.

If the full purchase price is not paid in cash at or before delivery, Purchaser may be required by Seller to execute and deliver to Seller, a promissory note or a series of promissory notes accompanied by an installment sales contract, equipment lease or security agreement, as applicable, UCC 1 or such other lien instrument in form appropriate for the state where the Goods will be located, provided, however, that title to all Goods referred to in this Agreement shall remain in Seller, until the full purchase price has been paid. If Purchaser fails to execute and deliver such promissory note or series of promissory notes and installment sales contract, equipment lease, security agreement, as applicable, or other lien instrument as Seller may request, the full purchase price shall forthwith become due and payable immediately. Until the full purchase price has been paid by Purchaser, Purchaser shall not remove any of the Goods from the premises where they were originally installed without the prior written consent of Seller. In addition, Seller is entitled to file a UCC 1 for a purchase money security interest in Goods to secure Seller’s position with respect to possible other secured parties and other rights under Applicable Laws.

In the event Purchaser fails to pay when due any indebtedness secured by this Agreement, Purchaser shall be deemed in default under this Agreement, and Seller shall have all the rights and remedies granted under Applicable Law, including, but not limited to, the rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code, and the right to replevin or repossess the Collateral. In addition, Seller may require Purchaser to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Seller at any place designated by Seller that is reasonably convenient to both parties.

In addition to the rights and remedies set forth above, if Purchaser is in default under any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, Seller, at its option, may retain all payments made by Purchaser hereunder to offset any damages incurred by Seller and/or the purchase price not paid of the Goods. Purchaser agrees that if Purchaser is unable to fulfill the total covenants and obligations as provided for and contained in this Agreement, any money paid herewith as a deposit shall become the absolute property of Seller as partial compensation of Purchaser’s failure to perform its agreement and such funds shall be applied to Seller’s damages.

If Seller or its assigns retakes possession of the Collateral, Seller shall keep all payments made by Purchaser, and all rights of Purchaser shall then be extinguished, and Seller may forthwith sell the Collateral at public or private sale.

Purchaser shall furnish the Seller with a policy or certificate thereof prior to the date the Goods are delivered. Purchaser agrees the amount of all insurance carried in the Collateral shall be an amount not less than that which shall provide for Seller to receive full compensation for the unpaid portion of the price due to Seller in case full or partial loss occur to Seller’s goods. Coverage must be placed with a reputable or financially responsible carrier or carriers with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A+.
