These terms and conditions govern every purchase of concrete or concrete products from Mocksville Concrete Company, LLC (“Seller”) by any individual or entity (each, a “Buyer”) and, together with any quotation, deliver ticket, mix design submittal and credit agreement issued by Seller, and any other document specifically referenced herein, form an agreement between Buyer and Seller to provide concrete or concrete products (“Product”)(collectively the “Agreement”). Any proposal or attempt to vary the terms of this Agreement is expressly rejected by Seller, unless signed by an authorized representative (Owner). Buyer’s signature on any part of the Agreement, request for Product in person, or over the phone, or acceptance of Product, each constitutes Buyer acknowledgment that it accepted and is bound by the agreement. Buyer acknowledges that any written or verbal order for concrete materials is expressly limited to the terms and the Contract for Materials on Account, if applicable, and if the purchase order from the Buyer states terms additional to or different from those set forth herein or in the Contract for Materials on Account, if applicable, this shall be deemed a notice of objection to such additional or different terms and rejection thereof. Any acknowledgment sent by the Seller to the Buyer after the Seller's receipt of a purchase order from the Buyer shall not be deemed to be an acceptance by the Seller of any offer by the Buyer and shall not alter these terms and conditions or the Contract for Materials on Account. Buyer further agrees that all of Buyer's orders will state specific quantities desired. Buyer agrees to pay Seller's current established unit price for the materials supplied as indicated on the Seller's invoice. Buyer has read and understands these terms and conditions and agrees that Seller's shipment of any goods or performance of any service under this order shall constitute Buyer's acceptance of these terms and conditions and the Contract for Materials on Account, as applicable, only.
2. Proof of Delivery. Proof of delivery shall be verified by 1) the signing of the delivery ticket by any person at the delivery site representing the Buyer, 2) the signing of the delivery ticket by the driver of the concrete truck (employee of the seller), or 3) Other written instructions as agreed upon to by both buyer and seller before delivery. The buyer accepts these terms and conditions upon point of sale; discharging any portion of the delivered concrete load (the point of sale: when the Product exits the end of the chute from any delivery vehicle owned or operated by Seller). Title to and risk of loss shall transfer to Buyer at the point of sale. Seller's printed delivery tickets shall constitute prima facie evidence of the product and quantity delivered and the date and scheduled delivery time.

Seller reserves the right to add other charges, including but not limited to cancellation or evening or weekend delivery charges.

Additional water and other materials requested by the Buyer or their representatives added to the Product voids all warranties and liabilities unless authorized in writing by the Seller.
5. Uniformity of Finish or Color. Concrete is produced from naturally occurring materials, so natural variations—color, efflorescence, lignite, and other variations—may occur. Because there are too many variables during the manufacture of raw materials, concrete production, and those encountered during placement and finishing, the seller hereby disclaims any responsibility or liability whatsoever for any alleged lack of uniformity in the color or efflorescence of the concrete.

Limited Warranty: Products supplied hereunder shall conform to applicable specifications for compressive strength, durability, and workability in the ACI and ASTM specifications or such other alternative specifications as may be required for a particular order, all as may be amended from time to time.

The buyer is responsible for preventing unloaded concrete from coming into contact with any material that may adversely impact concrete strength.
8. Concrete Temperature. Concrete temperature will be dictated by the environmental and material conditions at the time of delivery. Any requirement beyond these conditions will require the implementation of controlled measures during production at the expense of Buyer. Buyer is responsible for the requirements of ACI 305R and 306R.
9. Exclusions from Agreement.
