extending credit: Terms & Conditions

CHELSEA LUMBER COMPANY (“CHELSEA LUMBER”) IS EXTENDING CREDIT TO YOU (THE “CUSTOMER”) SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. CHELSEA LUMBER’S EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO YOU IS CONDITIONED UPON YOUR ASSET TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. ​

Acceptance of credit from Chelsea Lumber indicates your acceptance of these terms and conditions as written. Chelsea Lumber and the Customer will be collectively referred to as the “parties.” ​

entire agreement

The parties have not entered into any understandings or agreements, verbal or otherwise, in relation to Chelsea Lumber’s extension of credit to Customer, except as expressly written and set forth in the agreement. The parties agree that to the extent that either party or its agents or representatives have made representations or statements prior to or contemporaneous to the agreement that are not expressly provided for in the agreement, neither Chelsea Lumber nor Customer may reasonably rely upon such representations or statements unless they are expressly included in a written provision of this agreement. ​

payments

All payments shall be due and payable upon Customer’s receipt of a statement of account from the Company, unless the specific terms of payment as set forth in the Chelsea Lumber executed credit application state otherwise (in which case the specific payment terms shall govern).

default

Customer agrees that if it fails to make any payment required by the credit application or otherwise fails to comply with these terms and conditions, its open account will be considered in default and will be charged a monthly service fee of 1.7 percent of the total open account balance including any prior fees. (20.4 percent annual percentage rate). Customer agrees that this service fee is reasonable and waives its right to contest this fee by executing the applicable loan contract or credit application and accepting credit from Chelsea Lumber. Once a Customer’s open account is in default, Chelsea Lumber can seek immediate repayment of the entire open account, including any service fees, can refuse to extend further credit to Customer and can seek any other remedies.

representation of financial conditions and changed circumstances

Customer agrees that Chelsea Lumber’s extension of credit is based on Customer’s representations in the credit application. Customer, by executing the credit agreement, grants Chelsea Lumber consent to take any steps that Chelsea Lumber deems appropriate to verify Customer’s financial status and history, including obtaining Customer’s credit report. This consent is deemed to be ongoing and Customer can only revoke this consent by paying its open account with Chelsea Lumber in full (including any outstanding fees) and closing its account. Chelsea Lumber has sole discretion whether or not to extend credit to Customer based on the credit application and Customer’s financial history and status. If Chelsea Lumber determines that Customer has misrepresented Customer’s financial status or history, Chelsea Lumber may immediately declare the Customer’s account in default. Chelsea Lumber also reserves the right in its sole discretion and at any time to require prepayment of some or all of an open account, or to require cash on delivery in lieu of future credit transactions if it deems such terms to be appropriate based on an initial or subsequent review of the Customer’s financial status and history. ​

waiver of the customer's right to contest the open account

The Customer agrees that it must provide notice – as described below in the section designated “Notice” – of any charge to its account that it deems to be mistaken or otherwise incorrect within 20 days after Chelsea Lumber provides Customer with an invoice (at the time that Customer makes a purchase) or if Customer is not provided an invoice, within 20 days after Chelsea Lumber sends to Customer via first class mail its monthly statement of account. Customer agrees that if it does not provide notice within 20 days, the Customer waives its right to contest a charge. ​

modification, amendment or cancellation

The agreement may not be modified, amended or cancelled except by express written agreement signed by Dennis Bauer of Chelsea Lumber or the successor to his position at Chelsea Lumber. The only exception to this provision is for changes related to the address for notification as stated in the “Notice” paragraph below. ​

severability

If a provision of the Contract is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the Contract shall continue in full force and effect and shall be construed as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.

waiver

Chelsea Lumber’s failure to exercise a right or remedy or its acceptance of a partial or delinquent payment shall not operate as a waiver of any of its rights or Customer’s obligations under this agreement and shall not constitute a waiver of Chelsea Lumber’s right to declare an immediate or a subsequent default. ​

choice of law

The Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, notwithstanding any state’s choice of law or rules to the contrary. ​​

notices

All notices shall be deemed received (a) when personally delivered to the party to be given such notice or other communication, (b) on the business day that such notice or other communication is sent by facsimile or similar electronic device, fully prepaid, which facsimile or similar electronic communication shall promptly be confirmed by written notice, (c) on the business day following the day such notice or other communication is sent by reputable overnight courier, and (d) on the third business day after being sent by first class United States mail. Notices to Chelsea Lumber must be sent to Dennis Bauer at Chelsea Lumber Company, One Old Barn Circle, Chelsea, Michigan 48118. Notices to Customer will be deemed effective if sent or served on the address for Customer provided in the credit application. Should either party wish to modify its address for purposes of notification, it must do so in writing to the notice address of the other party provided above via first class mail. ​

attorney fees

If Chelsea Lumber obtains an award (whether in arbitration or from a court) in its favor, Customer agrees to pay Chelsea Lumber its actual attorney fees as well as its actual costs that it incurs in obtaining the award in its favor and in defending against any claims by Customer against it. These actual attorney fees and actual costs also include any actual attorney fees or actual costs that Chelsea Lumber expends in attempting to litigate its claims against or defend against claims by a third-party related to Chelsea Lumber’s extension of credit to Customer or its attempts to collect on Customer’s open account (e.g., an action to foreclose a lien or to obtain payment from a title company). The phrase “award in its favor” means any final award (regardless of the appealability of the award) in favor of Chelsea Lumber without regard to what percentage of its alleged damages Chelsea Lumber actually was awarded. ​

arbitration

Any dispute arising from or related in any way to this agreement shall be resolved via binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”), provided that such rules shall be modified as necessary to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. Chelsea Lumber and Consumer agree that the arbitration will proceed as a document hearing and formally waive their right to seek a participatory hearing. Chelsea Lumber and the Consumer also agree to waive their right to discovery in arbitration. If for some reason a participatory hearing is ordered by the arbitrator, Chelsea Lumber and the Consumer agree that any such hearing will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding upon the parties and shall be entered and enforced as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Consumer hereby provides its express consent to entry by Chelsea Lumber of a consent judgment on the terms provided by any arbitration award.

injunctive relief & foreclosure

If Chelsea Lumber seeks injunctive relief, it may bring an action limited to the issue of the granting or denial of injunctive relief in an appropriate court. If Chelsea Lumber seeks to foreclose a lien related to credit extended to a Customer, it may bring such a foreclosure proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction if the party subject to the lien and foreclosure proceeding refuses to consent to binding arbitration.

authorizations

All authorizations of the Company required or permitted to be given herein shall be deemed properly given only if given in writing by Dennis Bauer of Chelsea Lumber or the successor to his position at Chelsea Lumber.
