GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

Last updated May 27, 2025

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (the “Terms and Conditions”) apply to all products (collectively “Products”) sold by WHEELER FLEET SOLUTIONS, CO., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Wheeler”) to the purchaser of such Products (“Customer”) and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall form the sole and exclusive contract for each purchase of such Products. If Customer’s purchase order or other order documentation with respect to Products (in each case that is not on Wheeler’s form) includes terms that conflict with, or are in addition to, those set forth in these Terms and Conditions, Wheeler and Customer each hereby expressly reject such conflicting or additional terms of Customer, and Wheeler and Customer agree that these Terms and Conditions solely shall apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision of these Terms and Conditions conflicts with terms in a written quote, purchase order, invoice or other document originating from Wheeler for specific Products, the terms of such other document originating from Wheeler shall apply, shall be deemed to be part of these Terms and Conditions and shall prevail in the event of any conflict with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.

  1. Orders: Each order hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a separate transaction, without reference to any other shipment. All orders placed by Customer are subject to acceptance by Wheeler. Orders may not be cancelled or rescheduled without Wheeler’s written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Terms and Conditions to the contrary, if any Products ordered by the Customer cease to be available to Wheeler from the manufacturer or supplier of such Products for any reason or no reason, such order may be terminated by Wheeler upon notice to Customer and Wheeler shall repay to Customer any sums paid to Wheeler by Customer with respect to Products that have not and cannot be supplied. All orders must identify the products, unit quantities, part numbers, applicable prices and requested delivery dates of the Products being purchased.
  2. Delivery and Title. Unless otherwise specified on an order acknowledgment or invoice from Wheeler, title and risk of loss pass to the Customer upon delivery of the Product to the carrier. Wheeler’s delivery dates are estimates only and Wheeler is not liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Wheeler, nor shall the carrier be deemed an agent of the Wheeler. A delayed delivery of any part of an order does not entitle Customer to cancel other deliveries.
  3. Inspection. Customer shall inspect Products within twenty four (24) hours of receipt (the “Inspection Period”) and either accept or reject such Products. Customer will be deemed to have accepted such Products and Wheeler shall have no liability for any defect with respect thereto unless Customer notifies Wheeler in writing of any defective Products and provides substantiating documentation with respect thereto to Wheeler during the Inspection Period.
  4. Termination. In addition to any other right or remedy specified in these Terms and Conditions or that is available to Wheeler at law, in equity or otherwise, Wheeler may terminate any or all transactions hereunder upon written notice to Customer and without liability therefor: (i) if Customer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder; (ii) if Customer breaches any provision of these Terms and Conditions (other than its obligation to pay any amount hereunder when due), and either the breach cannot be cured or, if the breach can be cured, it is not cured by Customer within fifteen (15) days after Customer’s receipt of written notice of such breach; (iii) if Customer becomes insolvent or files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver or custodian for a substantial part of its property, or is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due; or (iv) if Customer fails to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition on Customer’s part to be observed or performed under any agreement with Wheeler, other than these Terms and Conditions, and such default continues beyond any grace period set forth in such other agreement for the remedying of such default.
  5. Price. Customer shall purchase Products at Wheeler's then current prices at the time of delivery or such other prices specifically agreed to by the parties in a written order. In the event of unforeseeable cost increases, including without limitation, tariff increases, cost increases due to changes in market prices, the costs of materials and raw materials or currency fluctuations, between placement of an order and delivery of the ordered Products over which Wheeler has no control, as a result of which Wheeler can only obtain the Products from its supplier at less favorable commercial terms than those which existed when the order was placed, Wheeler is entitled to adjust the prices agreed with Customer to reflect such increased costs.
  6. Payment.
    1. Payment method. Customer shall make payments by ACH electronic fund transfer.
    2. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise set forth in an invoice from Wheeler, terms of payment for purchases made by Customer shall be net 30 days from invoice. In the event that the Wheeler determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time prior to or following commencement of its performance hereunder that Customer is not creditworthy or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, Wheeler may change the payment terms upon notice to Customer, including requiring that payment be made by cash in advance of shipment.
    3. Disputed Payments. All disputed payments shall be submitted in writing (specifying the nature and amount of the dispute) by Customer to Wheeler within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice of the disputed payment and the parties will negotiate in good faith resolution of the dispute. Customer waives the right to dispute any payments not disputed within such thirty (30) day period.
    4. Default. If Customer defaults on any payment obligation hereunder or any other contract between Customer and Wheeler, all sums then owing to Wheeler by Customer shall become due and payable immediately and Wheeler shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Wheeler hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise, to do all or any of the following: (i) to cancel or suspend any or all further deliveries hereunder and under any other contract or contracts between Wheeler and Customer, without notice; (ii) to charge interest on a daily basis on any amount outstanding at the rate equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law; or (iii) to serve notice on Customer requiring immediate payment for all Products supplied by Wheeler under this and all other contracts with Customer whether or not payment is otherwise due. Customer shall also reimburse Wheeler for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees.
  7. Service Requirements.
    1. E-billing. Customer will accept electronic billing from Wheeler.
    2. Product Returns. Products may only be returned to Wheeler with Wheeler’s prior written consent in accordance with Wheeler’s return procedures then in effect. Wheeler shall be entitled to reject Products which are returned without Wheeler having provided prior written consent thereto.
    3. Surcharges and Fees. Wheeler may charge delivery, surcharge (including, but not limited to, fuel and minimum order), and transfer fees related to deliveries. The amount of such fees shall be reflected on the invoice from Wheeler.
  8. Confidentiality. Customer and Wheeler agree to maintain as confidential and agree not to disclose to any third party other than its Affiliates, Board of Directors, Board of Managers, equity holders, present and prospective lenders, investors and counsel, without the express written consent of the other party, this Terms and Conditions or any proprietary information of the other party, including but not limited to pricing. For purposes of this Terms and Conditions, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such entity or person and “control” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights in the controlled entity and/or the right to appoint more than fifty percent (50%) of the directors or similar positions of the controlled entity and/or the right to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of the profits of the controlled entity. Each party hereby acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure or use of the proprietary information (as described in the preceding sentence) could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the owner thereof which may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party agrees that, without prejudice and in addition to all the other rights and remedies otherwise available hereunder, the owner of such proprietary information may seek equitable relief including a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction (in either case without the requirement of posting bond), if the other party hereto breaches or threatens to breach the provisions of this Section.

  11. Force Majeure: Wheeler shall not be liable or responsible to Customer, nor be deemed to have defaulted under these Terms and Conditions, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term hereof, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond Wheeler’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, any act of God, nature or the public enemy, a pandemic or epidemic or other similar occurrence, accident, explosion, flood, drought, perils of the sea, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, riots or other civil unrest, sabotage, embargo, war, invasion, hostilities (whether or not declared and whether or not the United States is a participant), federal, state or municipal legal restriction or limitation or compliance therewith, national or regional emergency, slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, failure or delay of transportation, shortage of, or inability to obtain, raw materials, supplies, equipment, fuel, power, labor, or other operational necessity, interruption or curtailment of power supply.

No waiver of any provision or breach of this Terms and Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision or breach.
