Purchase Order Terms

This Covers Purchases made by Heritage Grocers Group, LLC on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (“HGG”)

1. Each and every HGG Purchase Order (“PO”) shall constitute an offer only and it is not a confirmation or acceptance of any prior or contemporaneous offer, proposal, or agreement. Acceptance of HGG’s PO is expressly limited to the terms set forth therein. HGG shall only be bound by the terms of its PO. Acceptance of HGG’s PO is expressly limited to its terms (including the terms herein), which may not be contradicted, added to, or varied in any way or by any manner or method. Acceptance of HGG’s PO as written and delivered by HGG (including the terms herein), and any agreement formed by HGG’s PO, may not be conditioned upon or contain any different or additional terms, whether contained in a verbal communication, an invoice, confirmation, e-mail, website, letter, or other writing, posting, conduct, course of dealing, custom, method, trade usage, or otherwise. Notice is hereby given that any terms in addition to or different from the terms of HGG’s PO are by this notification expressly objected to and expressly rejected. Shipment or other arrangements for delivery of the product(s) identified in the PO by the Seller shall constitute an acceptance of HGG’s PO on its terms, as shall the execution (signing) of the PO by the Seller. The contract formed by HGG’s PO, if accepted, is intended as a final, complete, and exclusive statement of its terms and conditions, and cannot be varied or changed, except by a future writing signed by a duly authorized agent by all parties to the contract. No employee or representative of HGG, except a Corporate Officer of HGG, is authorized to waive, delete, change, alter, excuse or otherwise modify or waive any of these “Purchase Order Terms,” and then only in a signed writing. Any attempt by any other employee or representative to do so shall be null and void.

2. Time is of the essence in the contract formed by the acceptance of HGG’s PO. If delivery of items ordered therein is not completed by the time set forth in HGG’s PO, or within thirty (30) days, whichever is less, HGG reserves the right (but not the obligation), without liability, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies, to terminate such contract as to items not yet delivered, or in its entirety.

27. Seller agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain and maintain insurance relative to any item(s) sold to HGG under the PO, naming HGG as an additional insured with respect to the products(s) subject to the PO.

All insurance shall be with companies and on forms acceptable to HGG. Additionally, all insurance shall be written by companies with an AM BEST’s Guide rating of A- or better. HGG’s failure to request, review or object to the terms of such certificates or insurance shall not be deemed a waiver of Seller’s obligations or the rights of HGG.
