Loper Machine LLC, Terms and Conditions for Proposal of Services

Acceptance of Proposal
This Proposal shall not be deemed a contract until it is signed by a duly authorized representative of LM.

Prices
The pricing information reflected on this Proposal for Services and materials, unless otherwise provided, does not include any applicable sales, excise, or similar taxes or tariffs, or any costs for special insurance or bonding coverage, which, if required, will be added to this Proposal. The prices quoted are established assuming there are no material shortages or unforeseen delays in sourcing material.

Payment
LM may invoice Customer as provided in the Proposal. Customer agrees to pay, in U.S. currency, the net amount set forth on the invoice upon receipt. Accounts more than thirty (30) days past due will incur a finance charge on any unpaid balance at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum lawful rate. If Customer wrongfully rejects or revokes acceptance of any product, fails to make any payment when due, or repudiates this Proposal after acceptance, Customer shall pay LM all costs of collection, including attorney's fees, court costs, and expert witness fees. If Customer fails to pay any amount when due, LM reserves the right to suspend all work and condition future performance on payment of amounts due, and may, at its discretion, demand immediate payment of the full balance due under this Agreement.

Change Orders
Customer may request changes to this Proposal; however, LM is not obligated to accept changes requested after the Proposal has been accepted. If accepted, LM will determine whether such changes cause an increase in cost or time of performance, and will notify Customer accordingly. If LM rejects any requested change or if Customer finds the changes unacceptable, Customer remains responsible for all sums attributable to the original Proposal.

Limited Warranty
All materials provided by LM are subject to third-party quality and performance standards and are provided without warranty of any kind from LM. This disclaimer includes, but is not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, accuracy, and fitness for a particular purpose. All warranties are provided at the discretion of the creator or manufacturer of the products or materials.

Labor Guarantee
Parts provided by LM are guaranteed for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment to the Customer. This guarantee is limited to the Services requested on the initial work order and the parts and labor listed on the final invoice. If the same failure reappears within the guarantee period, LM’s sole responsibility is to repair the original defect; additional parts required will be charged to Customer, with only labor provided at no additional charge under the guarantee. This limited guarantee grants no other rights to Customer.

Indemnification
LM will exercise its resources, diligence, and judgment in providing all Services and materials. Customer agrees to cooperate and provide necessary assistance for LM to perform the Services. Customer holds LM harmless from any liability, losses, damage, costs, or expenses arising from or relating to the Services. In no event shall LM be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages to Customer or exceeding fees paid for Services performed. This indemnification covenant remains in force despite full payment or termination of this Agreement.

Force Majeure
LM is not liable for failure to perform if such failure results directly or indirectly from inability to obtain materials, parts, or supplies at reasonable prices or within usual timelines, transportation interruption, government regulation, labor disputes, strikes, riots, insurrection, war, civil commotion, fire, weather, flood, accident, storm, act of God, or other cause beyond LM's reasonable control.

Termination
Customer may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days' written notice to LM, paying all fees and expenses incurred through termination date. LM may terminate Services if any invoice remains unpaid for thirty (30) days or more. All fees are earned upon Service performance.

Liability to Third Parties
Services rendered are solely for Customer's benefit. LM shall not be relied upon by any third party beyond the specific needs met for Customer.

Special Notices
None.

Miscellaneous
This Proposal is executed in the State of Maryland and governed by its laws. All disputes shall be submitted to Maryland courts, with venue in Harford County. The prevailing party in any litigation may recover costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees. Customer waives its right to jury trial. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between parties regarding Services, modifiable only by mutual written agreement. If any provision is found invalid, remaining provisions remain in effect. Notices are effective upon personal delivery, U.S. certified mail (return receipt requested), or prepaid express courier.
