2. Price. Prices in effect at time of shipment of Goods or performance of services shall prevail. All prices quoted by Seller are subject to change without notice. Prices do not include any present or future taxes, sales, goods and services, customs, duties, transportation, insurance, use, excise, value added or similar taxes and where applicable, such items shall be billed as a separated item and paid by Buyer. Buyer shall pay such amounts in addition to Seller?s prices. Until payment in full of that total purchase price, together with any applicable interest and other charges as provided for herein (the ?Obligations?), is received by Seller, title to and ownership of the Goods shall remain with Seller. Buyer hereby grants Seller a security interest in the Goods and all insurance or other proceeds of disposition thereof until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.
3. Payment Terms. Seller shall be paid for the Goods in accordance with the terms agreed upon between Seller and Buyer. In case of any default in payment hereunder or under any other contract with Seller, all amounts owing under this and other contracts by Buyer to Seller shall become due, notwithstanding the terms of sale. Buyer shall be liable for all expenses attendant to the collection of past due amounts, including attorneys? fees and costs. Seller shall have the right to set off any amounts owing from Buyer against any amounts payable to Buyer. On overdue account, Buyer shall pay to Seller, on demand, interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, on the last day of each month, not in advance. However, if the foregoing charges exceed that rate which may be lawfully charged under applicable law, then such charges will be calculated so as to not exceed the highest lawful rate.

Each delivery or shipment shall be considered a separate sale.
5. Security Interest / Hypothecated Goods. Seller reserves the right by written notice to cancel any order or require full or partial payment or adequate assurance or performance from Buyer without liability to Buyer as provided under this section.

The hypothec is granted to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price of the Hypothecated Goods and all other obligations of Buyer to Seller hereunder and pursuant to the order and the price list provided by Seller.
