TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SALE

Buyer understands and agrees that by purchasing or ordering Products (as defined in Section 2 below) from Peli, Buyer accepts and agrees to be bound by these Terms.
  2. INTEGRATED AGREEMENT. These Terms constitute an offer by Seller to sell certain goods and/or services (collectively, the “Products”) to Buyer. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by Seller in writing, these Terms whether accepted by Buyer explicitly, by acceptance of delivery of Products from Seller, or otherwise, shall constitute the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer on the subject matter hereof, and shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, communications, and/or negotiations between the parties, including but not limited to all additional or differing terms and/or conditions contained in Buyer-supplied documents and correspondence. Seller's acceptance of any Buyer order is expressly limited to these Terms, and Seller hereby objects to and rejects any such additional or different terms of any kind supplied by Buyer. These Terms incorporate the Seller's current policies, including, but not limited to, its Selective Distribution Policy (a copy of which is available at https://media.pelican.com/docs/terms-and-conditions/Peli-Selective-Distribution-Policy.pdf) and its Trademark and Copyright Policy (a copy of which is available at https://media.pelican.com/docs/terms-and-conditions/Peli-Trademark-Copyright-Policy.pdf).

The remaining Terms herein shall apply to the extent they are consistent with the intent of the Distribution Agreement. In all other instances, the Terms set forth herein shall apply to the exclusion of any other terms from any source.

  8. LIEN SECURING PAYMENT. In the event that Buyer has not prepaid in full for the Products ordered pursuant to these Terms, Buyer hereby grants Seller a security interest in the Products to secure payment of the purchase price and any other amounts owed to Seller under these Terms.

Buyer agrees to execute and deliver any documents and take any actions reasonably requested by Seller to perfect and maintain this security interest, including but not limited to the execution of financing statements as required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
