All proposals by Lucid Stripes, LLC (“Contractor”), all acceptances of orders and all materials supplied and services performed by Contractor are expressly limited to the following Terms and Conditions. Any additional, different or inconsistent terms proposed by Purchaser, whether in writing or otherwise, are hereby objected to and rejected. Neither Contractor’s acceptance of Purchaser’s order nor performance of services shall constitute its assent to any different or additional terms contained in Purchaser’s business forms.

Final payment shall be due after the work described in this proposal is substantially completed unless otherwise specified on the face side hereof.

Any price increase in material that occur(s) during the period of time between contract execution and substantial completion of the Project shall be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to make payment on any invoices within thirty (30) days of receipt.
