THIS AGREEMENT BECOMES BINDING ON CUSTOMER FOLLOWING ITS RECEIPT OF SENTRIC’S SERVICE ESTIMATE AND THE SUBSEQUENT ISSUANCE OF WORK AUTHORIZATION FOR ANY VEHICLE SERVICES (VERBAL OR WRITTEN). ALL SERVICES PERFORMED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SENTRIC ARE MADE ONLY UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. ANY AND ALL ADDITIONAL, DIFFERENT, OR CONFLICTING TERMS OR CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE SET FORTH IN ANY PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER COMMUNICATION FROM OR ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER ARE REJECTED BY SENTRIC AND SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE OR BINDING UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTED IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY A SENTRIC AUTHORIZED OFFICER, PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF SENTRIC’S SERVICES.
- General Terms and Conditions of Estimate and Repair. Customer understands that any repair Estimate is based on preliminary inspection and does not cover additional parts or labor that may be required to complete the Services should further inspection determine it necessary or recommended. Customer will in most cases be required to review and approve a revised Estimate before additional Services will be performed. If Customer refuses to approve a revised Estimate, Customer shall either arrange for pick-up of the Vehicle or authorize its return by Sentric, in its then present condition, at Customer’s expense, and Sentric may invoice Customer for any costs and expenses already incurred, including reasonable labor charges for the partially completed Services as well as for any re-assembly services authorized by Customer.
- Vehicle Pick-Up and Return. By providing work authorization to Sentric for its Services, Customer authorizes Sentric, its agents, and/or employees to pick-up and drive the Vehicle from Customer’s facility to Sentric’s repair center, as well as to drive the Vehicle for other Service-related purposes (e.g. topping-off the Vehicle’s fuel tank prior to calibration, diagnosis, testing, and inspection purposes), and to return the Vehicle to Customer following Service completion. Prior to Vehicle pick-up by Sentric, Customer shall ensure the Vehicle is properly registered/tagged for public road operation, is in reasonably safe operational condition, and all valuables and personal property have been removed from the Vehicle. Sentric IS NOT responsible for any loss, theft, or damage of any personal property left in the Vehicle. Upon return of the Vehicle to Customer, Customer shall inspect it for any observed damage. Customer is not responsible for the condition of the Vehicle following delivery to Customer.
- Pricing, Taxes, Discounts, Exemptions. The prices for Sentric’s Services, and for all parts, goods and/or materials sold and/or provided to Customer in furtherance of such Services, are those set forth in the Estimate and in the applicable Invoice. Estimates and Invoices may not be reflective of all discounts, promotions, or rebates which may be available under a separate agreement between Sentric and Customer. All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes and governmental fees assessable to Customer. Any taxes and/or governmental fees applicable to the parts, goods, materials, or Services which Sentric is required by law to collect from Customer and remit, shall be stated on the Invoice (and Estimate, if required) and shall be payable by Customer in accordance with the Agreement and Invoice terms. Should Customer claim exemption from any taxes and/or governmental fees, whether as a reseller of goods, services, or otherwise, Customer shall be solely responsible for providing Sentric a valid exemption certificate or other documentation substantiating this exemption status. Customer will supply this documentation to Sentric upon request.
- Payment Terms. Payment in full of an Invoice is due within thirty (30) days of the Invoice date unless stated otherwise on the first page of the Invoice. Payment shall be made via ACH or other Sentric approved payment method.

Customer agrees to pay all costs of collection on past due Invoices, including Sentric’s reasonable attorney's fees. Sentric reserves the right to rescind or withhold any or all pricing discounts, promotions, and/or rebates available to Customer should Customer fail to timely pay the Invoice when due or otherwise breach the Agreement.

Sentric may, in its sole discretion, and as Customer’s excusive remedy for a Service-related issue, either reperform the Services at no additional cost to Customer or issue a credit to Customer in the amount of the price paid to Sentric for such Services. This service level commitment is exclusive to Customer for the limited period and for the limited purpose described in this Section. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND. This service level commitment is not assignable or intended to benefit any third party.

In no event shall Sentric be responsible for any Vehicle condition or Service-related issue, or any associated liability: (i) which reasonably could have been prevented or minimized by Customer, (iii) caused by normal wear and tear; (iv) caused by or contributed to by Customer, its agents, employees, contractors, or any third parties; or (v) caused by events, sources, or conditions outside Sentric’s reasonable control.
