Purchase Order Terms & Conditions
1. Acceptance of Purchase Orders
All Purchase Orders (“POs”) submitted by the buyer to KUB Planet (“the Company”) are subject to acceptance by the Company. No PO shall be binding on the Company unless confirmed in writing. By placing an order, the buyer agrees to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, which constitute the entire agreement for the sale of products. The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order if there are issues with payment authorization, order inaccuracies, product unavailability, or any other reason deemed necessary. If a product is unavailable, the Company will notify the buyer promptly to offer a solution or cancel the order. Cancellations will result in a refund for any pre-paid amounts related to the canceled items. Any additional or conflicting terms proposed by the buyer are expressly rejected unless specifically agreed upon in writing by the Company.
2. Pricing and Payment Terms
Prices are as quoted by the Company and are valid for the term specified in the quote or, if not specified, for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment terms are as follows:

If the buyer fails to complete payment within thirty (30) days of the due date, the Company may retain, resell, or otherwise dispose of the goods at its sole discretion without any obligation to compensate the buyer.
