This Agreement governs the purchase, ownership, exchange and use of compressed gas cylinders and related gas products supplied by Weldready.
Agreement – These terms and conditions of the Weldready Cylinder Product Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) govern the purchase, ownership, exchange, and use of compressed gas Cylinders and related gas products (collectively, the “Products”) supplied by Weldready. These terms are in addition to Weldready’s general Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and Weldready’s general Terms and Conditions, this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Products.
Acceptance of Agreement – This Agreement becomes binding upon the Customer's order, purchase, receipt, exchange, possession, transportation, handling, or use of any Product supplied by Weldready. Orders and transactions may be initiated, accepted, or confirmed verbally, electronically, in writing, through Weldready's website, by email, by telephone, in person, or through any other method of communication. The Customer acknowledges that verbal, electronic, and written orders accepted by Weldready are subject to this Agreement.
Purchase of Products – Weldready agrees to sell and the Customer agrees to buy the Products described on the face of the receipt, at the prices set out in the Agreement or on the face of the receipt. Gas Cylinders are final sale and returns are not available.
Owned and Exchanged Cylinders – The Customer shall ensure that all of the Customer’s owned Weldready Cylinders delivered to Weldready for exchange shall be clean and in good repair. Weldready may refuse to fill any Cylinder owned by the Customer. If the Customer exchanges Cylinders from Weldready, the following provision applies:
Use and Care: Upon receipt of the Cylinders and until their return to Weldready, the Customer shall be responsible for the Cylinders. Without limitation, the Customer shall ensure that Cylinders are not damaged by arc urns or otherwise, that the surface of Cylinders remain free from oil, and that the valves are not damaged. The Customer shall not permit any person other than Weldready or its authorized agent to fill the Cylinders. The Customer shall not loan or transfer the Cylinders to any person. If a Cylinder becomes damaged and the Customer would like it to be exchanged, the Customer shall notify Weldready and shall pay on demand the cost of replacing or repairing the Cylinder.
Payment – Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, payment in full is due prior to receipt of the Products by the Customer or upon demand at any time following delivery of the Products to the Customer, as determined by Weldready. Payments from the Customer shall be applied to charges in the following order: interest charges, service charges, and charges for product purchases, from earliest to most recent.
Late Payment – All invoices are due within 30 days of invoice date. Weldready reserves the right to suspend credit privileges, withhold further exchanges and deliveries, and charge interest on overdue balances. The Customer shall pay interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on any outstanding balance for each day which is late. If a cheque of the Customer is returned unpaid by the bank for any reason, a $25 service charge will be added to the Customer’s account.
Remedies for Default – If the Customer fails to remit any payment when due, breaches any provision of this Agreement, or otherwise defaults in its obligations (a “Default”), Weldready may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity, take any one or more of the following actions: (a) suspend or refuse the supply, exchange, or release of any Products to the Customer; (b) declare all outstanding amounts owing by the Customer to Weldready immediately due and payable; (c) charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate specified in this Agreement or, if not specified, at a reasonable commercial rate; (d) recover from the Customer all costs of collection, including legal fees on a solicitor-and-client basis where permitted by law; and (e) pursue any other remedies available to Weldready under applicable law for recovery of amounts owing or enforcement of this Agreement. Any suspension of services shall not relieve the Customer of its obligations under this Agreement.
Liability and Indemnity – The Customer agrees to release, indemnify and hold harmless Weldready and its affiliates from and against any and all claims and demands of any nature whatsoever, for loss or damage to property or injury to persons, including death resulting therefrom, at any time caused directly or indirectly by, or through the presence or use of any goods or Products, except any such loss, or damage resulting from the negligence of Weldready, its employees or agents. No claim of the Customer of any kind arising from the Agreement whether or not based on negligence, breach of warranty or condition shall exceed the price paid for Product delivered in the twelve months preceding such claim. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect or consequential damages, however caused. Except as provided in the Agreement, no representations, conditions or warranties, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, shall apply with respect to the purchase or sale of goods or Products, without limitation, any representation, condition or warranty as to merchantability, quality or fitness of products for a particular purpose.
Specifications – If the purity of the Gas hereunder does not meet the specifications as per this Agreement, or in the absence of any such specifications, does not meet the standards as published by the Compressed Gas Association, the Gas may be rejected by the Customer. Weldready shall not be liable to Customer for any claim or loss whatsoever by reason of the Gas or Product not conforming to the said specifications including, without limitation, liability for any special, indirect or consequential damages. The foregoing constitutes Customer’s exclusive remedy and Weldready’s sole obligation with respect to any such claim.
Advice Given – It is expressly understood that any advice furnished by Weldready with respect to the Products is given gratis and Weldready assumes no obligation or liability for the advice given or results obtained, all such advice being given and accepted at Customer’s risk.
Manufacturer’s Warranty – Notwithstanding any other warranty provision, in relation to any items or equipment covered by the Agreement which is not manufactured by Weldready, Weldready shall provide reasonable assistance to Customer in obtaining the benefit for Customer of any applicable manufacturer’s warranty. No claim of any kind with respect to any Products covered by the Agreement and/or delivered hereunder, whether based on contract, negligence, warranty to the Products, strict liability or otherwise, shall be greater than the price paid for the Products in respect to which such claim is made.
Hazards - The Customer acknowledges that there are hazards associated with the Product. Customer assumes the responsibility for warning its employees, agents and independent contractors of all hazards of which it is or may become aware or which are or may in future be disclosed in the Safety Data Sheets to persons in any way connected with the Products.
Other Provisions – This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited, unenforceable, or invalid under applicable law shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability, or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Weldready shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performance or delivery caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to strikes, labour disputes, riots, wars, acts of God, fires, accidents, government orders or regulations, supply chain disruptions, or shortages or failures in obtaining materials or transportation (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Weldready’s obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the event.
Safety – The best way to transport Product Cylinders is in an open truck. Transporting Cylinders in cars or vans may be hazardous. If it is necessary to transport Cylinders in your car or van, ensure that:
- Cylinders are firmly secured
- Maximum ventilation is maintained in the area where Cylinder is stored (e.g., by keeping windows or storage compartments open); and
- No unsecured items are stored beside Cylinders.
Read the product label to ensure that you have the proper product and have identified the potential hazards and precautions to be taken. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all Products are available via Weldready’s SDS library and/or upon request. Customers are responsible for reviewing applicable SDS prior to use.
