Exact Replacement Parts (ERP) sells only to recognized ERP Distributors. Customers assume full liability for all taxes or other charges assessed or imposed by any government agency. ERP will not sell to distributors who do not have a valid sales tax exemption certificate on file. Possession of a product catalog or price list does not constitute authority to purchase.

DISTRIBUTOR QUALIFICATION

ERP retains the right to determine account classification. Recognition of ERP distributor is based upon market coverage, product knowledge and general effectiveness in representing specific products designated by ERP. In addition, a distributor must:

  1. Purchase initial recommended full-line inventory
  2. Maintain a continuing representative stock of ERP – all product categories
  3. Maintain minimum annual purchases of $10,000.00
  4. Approved distributors will qualify for distributor pricing and are entitled to participate in all distributor programs.

SHIPPING

Orders over $1000.00 will ship freight prepaid in the Continental U.S. Orders under $1000.00 will be prepaid and added to the invoice. All backorders will be sent freight prepaid and will be given high priority shipment status to insure prompt delivery. ERP will pay 25% of the freight charge on orders of $1000.00 or more shipped to our distributors in Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico to cover the cost of shipping to the port of departure. The potential for future added fuel surcharges remains an option should trucking costs continue to escalate.

SHIPMENT AND INVOICE PROBLEMS

Please notify ERP via phone, fax or mail of any shipment or invoice problems and a Customer Service Representative will handle your request. All returned goods require a return authorization number which will be supplied by the ERP Customer Service Department. Returned goods are potentially subject to a 20% restock fee. Claims for freight damage, shortages, pricing discrepancies or incorrect parts must be made within 7 days of delivery receipt. All shipments should be properly checked in immediately upon receipt. Reports of discrepancies must contain the following information: (1) Customer’s purchase order number, (2) ERP order number (located in box on packing slip) or invoice number, (3) number and condition of cartons received, and (4) any other relevant facts that may be helpful in tracing the cause of the problem. ERP accepts no responsibility for damaged or missing cartons on common carrier shipments, unless delivery receipt is properly signed by carrier agent with discrepancy noted. All shipping discrepancies will be checked by ERP, and where applicable, credit will be issued. Deduction from payment will not be allowed.
