1. GENERAL TERMS:

The terms and conditions stated herein shall govern all wholesale sales of products made by Platinum Elephant, Inc. /DBA/ Lavley (“Lavley”), regardless of the terms and conditions stated in any purchase order submitted by the purchaser ("Purchaser"). Lavley hereby disclaims and rejects any terms and conditions appearing in a purchase order from Purchaser that are in addition to, or inconsistent with, the terms and conditions stated herein. Any such additional or inconsistent terms and conditions shall not be a part of the contract and shall not be binding on Lavley. These terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without prior written notice by Lavley.

2. CERTIFICATION:

To qualify to open a wholesale account with Lavley, Purchaser must certify and document that it is in the business of reselling products to its customers or to the public. For documentation purposes, Lavley requires that Purchaser provide a state-issued Resale Certificate to Lavley at the time of order. If Purchaser does not have a Resale Certificate, Purchaser may still establish a wholesale account by providing a signed W9 form to Lavley. For those customers located in the state of NY, sales tax will be applied for those wholesale accounts who do not have a state issued Resale Certificate on file with Lavley.
