The Credit Application and Agreement (“Agreement”) is executed by Buyer to persuade Metro Metals to extend credit to Buyer.  All purchases by Buyer hereunder are made pursuant to Metro Metals Purchase Agreement, the Terms and Conditions of which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

1.   Buyer shall pay each invoice in full in accordance with the terms of the particular Purchase Agreement, invoice, or other shipping document, with or without Buyer’s signature.  In the event Buyer fails to make payment when due, Buyer shall pay, in addition to the invoice amount, monthly late payment charge equal to 1.5% of the outstanding balance due.  Metro Metals reserves the right to change such charges from time to time in its sole discretion and without notice.  All payments are due within terms.  Late payment charges shall be construed in such a manner as to be enforceable under applicable state and federal law.  Buyer agrees that should the late payment charge be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to violate any law, Buyer’s sole remedy against Metro Metals shall be the application of any late payment charge in excess of the maximum rate allowable by law toward the unpaid account balance (or refund of such excess if no account balance remains unpaid).

 

2.  Buyer agrees to pay all cost of collection by Metro Metals of any amount due hereunder, including actual attorney’s fees.  Buyer further agrees that, in the event any action is brought upon or by reason of this Credit Application and Agreement by either Buyer or Metro Metals and Metro Metals, prevails, Buyer shall pay Metro Metals its actual attorney’s fees and other cost incurred as a result of or in connection with such action.  To the extent state law limits the recoverability of attorney’s fees, Metro Metals shall be entitled to recover its fees up to the maximum allowed by state law.

 

3.   Metro Metals shall have the sole discretion and complete right to apply any payment received from Buyer hereunder in any manner which Metro Metals deems proper.  Unless otherwise specified in the remittance advice, Metro Metals may apply payments first to late payment charges, service charges, shipping charges, attorney’s fees, or any other applicable charge, in any order before applying the remainder of any such payments toward Buyer’s principal account balance.

 

4.  Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer is not a “consumer” as defined in the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, or any other consumer credit laws (Federal, State, or local), and Buyer waives all rights granted to consumers under the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, and other Federal, State, and Local laws pertaining to “consumer” rights.  Buyer further represents and warrants that all purchases made from Metro Metals and any credit extended hereunder will be used solely for business and commercial purposes.

 

5.   This Credit Application and Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Alabama.  The Buyer hereby waives all rights to trial by jury with regard to any action arising out of or relating to this Credit Application and Agreement or any transaction between the parties past, present, or future.  Buyer expressly acknowledges that this transaction affects and relates to interstate commerce and is subject to the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act.  The Buyer agrees that any action to resolve any dispute or controversy, brought by the Buyer and against Metro Metals, its agents, employees, successors, and assigns shall be subject to final and binding arbitration and shall be governed by the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association or similar organization if the American Arbitration Association is not available, at the discretion of Metro Metals, reserves the right to bring an action in a court with jurisdiction over the county in which the goods are sold or the county in which the project for which the goods are to be used is located.  This writing contains the full, final, and exclusive statement of the agreement between Metro Metals and the Buyer, and no terms or conditions other than those stated herein, and no agreement or understanding in any way purporting to modify these terms and conditions, shall be binding on Metro Metals without Metro Metals’ written consent.  Waiver by Metro Metals of any terms or conditions of this contract or waiver of any breach therefore shall not be construed as a waiver of any other terms, conditions, or breach.  Determination that any provision of this Agreement is illegal or invalid shall not affect the validity of enforceability of the remaining provisions of this agreement.

 

6.   Buyer agrees to provide Metro Metals with prompt written notice or any change in Buyer’s name, address, ownership, or forms of business entity.

 

The undersigned understands the information obtained for this application is being submitted for the purpose of obtaining credit and also authorizes the investigation of this information through banks and references cited herein.

 

Amount of credit requested? _____________________.  Financial statement attached?  Yes5   No5

 

I understand your terms are Net 25th of the following month.  I agree to pay within these terms.  If I am not able to keep my account current, a 1.5% per month carrying charge will be added to my account.  I recognize this is a legitimate charge, and I agree to pay this charge if my account should become past due.

 

If my account becomes past due and it is necessary to obtain legal counsel to collect the balance due, I agree to pay all reasonable attorney fees and court costs associated with my indebtedness.

 

The undersigned agrees to personally and unconditionally guarantee payment of all sums owed pursuant to this agreement.  This is a continuing guarantee and shall not be revoked, except by written notice to creditor.
