TERMS AND CONDITIONS - SERVICE

 

“Company” shall mean Trane (China) Air Conditioning System Co., Ltd. and its affiliates for Services (as defined below) performed in China.

1.  Acceptance. These terms and conditions (“Terms”) are an integral part of Company’s offer and form the basis of any agreement (the “Agreement”) resulting from Company’s proposal (the “Proposal”) for the following commercial services as stated in the Proposal (collectively, the “Services”): inspection, maintenance and repair (the “Maintenance Services”) on equipment (the “Covered Equipment”), specified Additional Work (if any), and, if included in the Proposal, Intelligent Services, Energy Assessment, Energy Monitoring and/or Diagnostic Services, and any other services using remote connectivity (collectively and individually referred to in these Terms as “Energy and Building Performance Services”). COMPANY’S TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC CHANGE OR AMENDMENT. The Proposal is subject to acceptance in writing by the party to whom this offer is made or an authorized agent (“Customer”) delivered to Company within 30 days from the date of the Proposal. If Customer accepts the Proposal by placing an order, without the addition of any other terms and conditions of sale or any other modification, Customer’s order shall be deemed acceptance of the Proposal subject to these Terms. If Customer’s order is expressly conditioned upon Company’s acceptance or assent to terms and/or conditions other than those expressed herein, return of such order by Company with Company’s Terms attached or referenced serves as Company’s notice of objection to Customer’s terms and as Company’s counter-offer to perform in accordance with the Proposal and Company Terms. If Customer does not reject or object in writing to Company within 10 days, Company’s counter-offer will be deemed accepted. Customer’s acceptance of performance by Company will in any event constitute an acceptance by Customer of Company’s Terms. This Agreement is subject to credit approval by Company. Upon disapproval of credit, Company may delay or suspend performance or, at its option, renegotiate prices and/or Terms with Customer. If Company and Customer are unable to agree on such revisions, this Agreement shall be cancelled without any liability, other than Customer’s obligation to pay for Services provided by Company to the date of cancellation.

2.  Fees and Taxes. Fees for the Services (the “Service Fees”) are as set forth in the Proposal. Except as otherwise stated in the Proposal, Service Fees are based on performance during regular business hours. Charges for performance outside Company’s normal business hours shall be billed separately according to then prevailing overtime or emergency labor/labour rates. In addition to the stated Service Fees, Customer shall pay all taxes not legally required to be paid by Company or, alternatively, shall provide Company with an acceptable tax exemption certificate.

3.  Term, Renewal, and Cancellation. The “Term” of this Agreement shall be as stated in the Proposal. Customer shall remain liable for any amounts due and unpaid if either party cancels the Agreement.

4.  Payment. Payment is due upon receipt of Company’s invoice. Service Fees shall be paid at least once every quarter and in advance of performance of the Services. Company reserves the right to add to any account outstanding for more than 30 days a service charge equal to the lesser of the maximum allowable legal interest rate or 1.5% of the principal amount due at the end of each month. Without liability to Customer, Company may discontinue performance whenever payment is overdue. Customer shall pay all costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Company in attempting to collect amounts due or otherwise enforcing this Agreement.

5.  Customer Breach. Each of the following constitutes a breach by Customer and shall give Company the right, without an election of remedies, to suspend performance or terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice declaring termination. Upon termination, Customer shall be liable to the Company for all Services furnished to date and all damages sustained by Company (including lost profit and overhead): (a) Any failure by Customer to pay amounts when due; (b) any general assignment by Customer for the benefit of its creditors, Customer’s bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership; (c) Any representation or warranty furnished by Customer in connection with this Agreement is false or misleading in any material respect when made; or (d) Any failure by Customer to perform or comply with any material provision of this Agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed by Customer and Company, at Customer’s expense and before the Services begin, Customer will provide any necessary access platforms, catwalks to safely perform the Services in compliance with local industrial safety regulations. This Agreement presupposes that all major pieces of Covered Equipment are in proper operating condition as of the date hereof. Services furnished are premised on the Covered Equipment being in a maintainable condition. In no event shall Company have any obligation to replace Covered Equipment that is no longer maintainable. During the first 30 days of this Agreement, or upon initial inspection, and/or upon seasonal start-up (if included in the Services), if an inspection by Company of Covered Equipment indicates repairs or replacement is required, Company will provide a written quotation for such repairs or replacement. If Customer does not authorize such repairs or replacement, Company may remove the unacceptable equipment from the Covered Equipment and adjust the Service Fees accordingly. Customer authorizes Company to utilize Customer’s telephone line or network infrastructure to connect to controls, systems and/or equipment provided or serviced by Company and to provide Services contracted for or otherwise requested by Customer, including remote diagnostic and repair service. Customer acknowledges that Company is not responsible for any adverse impact to Customer’s communications and network infrastructure. Company may elect to install/attach to Customer equipment or provide portable devices (hardware and/or software) for execution of control or diagnostic procedures. Such devices shall remain the personal proprietary property of Company and in no event shall become a fixture of Customer locations.
