Terms and Conditions
All sales of goods by PGI Glass, LLC d/b/a Precision Glass Industries (“PGI”) to the customer submitting this form (“Customer”) are subject to the terms and conditions provided herein. Any sales order that includes different or additional terms that conflict with these Terms and Conditions are objected to and disallowed.
Terms – Customer may submit orders to PGI electronically or in writing at prices quoted by PGI. PGI may accept or reject any order. All sales by PGI to Customer are subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. A binding contract will arise only when PGI confirms the customer’s order or begins execution of the customer’s order, as price quotations or other communications from PGI do not constitute offers. No terms contained in any purchase order or other document submitted by Customer will vary or amend the provisions of this form. No PGI employee has authority to change the terms of this agreement or to provide special discounts or rebates without specific written authorization from a corporate officer addressed to Customer.
Delivery and Quantity – Information about delivery periods is indicative and non- binding unless a written confirmation from PGI expressly states the contrary. Partial deliveries are permitted.
Payment and Credit; Expenses – Customer will pay for all goods ordered on its behalf and delivered by PGI pursuant to the credit terms established for the Customer’s account. PGI may establish the credit terms for Customer, and may change those terms, create or change credit limits or cease extending credit from time to time in its sole discretion. Customer will pay all costs for: special packing, shipping or other handling requested by Customer and agreed to by PGI, extra charges of carriers for Customer delays in unloading trucks or containers and other special costs incurred by PGI as a result of special actions or requests by Customer.
Late Payments: Consequences – If the Customer fails to make a payment when due, this constitutes a fundamental breach of the contract and: (a) all amounts outstanding to PGI will become due immediately; (b) PGI has the right to cancel any pending orders; (c) all warranties issued under this order will be void; (d) all warranties granted by PGI to Customer under any order will be void; and (e) until Customer brings its account into good standing, PGI may, in its sole discretion, (1) stop work on Customer’s other orders and (2) not begin work on any other orders placed by Customer. Customer understands that if it loses its slot on PGI’s manufacturing line due to late payment, such slot may be used by PGI for another customer or project, resulting in delays in manufacturing Customer’s order. PGI will re-slot Customer’s order as soon as commercially practicable after Customer brings its account back to good standing. Customer agrees that any delay to the delivery dates quoted to Customer due to its account being out of good standing is due to Customer’s own actions. PGI will provide new delivery dates to Customer upon Customer bringing its account into good standing.
Late Payments: Cost of Enforcement – Customer will pay all costs of collection of any amounts due to PGI, and all costs of collection, including court costs, reasonable fees and reasonable attorney’s fees, whether by outside or in-house counsel, and other reasonable expenses. Returned checks will result in a $25.00 fee per check, per deposit.
Risk of Loss – The risk of loss of all goods purchased by Customer passes to Customer as follows: if the goods are picked up by the Customer or shipped by carrier arranged by the Customer, risk of loss passes when the goods loaded on the truck at PGI’s facility; if PGI arranges shipping, risk of loss passes when the goods are available for unloading at Customer’s location.
Title to the Goods – Title to the goods purchased from PGI shall not pass to Customer until PGI receives payment in full for the entire purchase order under which the goods were purchased, in which case title to the goods shall pass to Customer at the time of payment.
Purchase Money Security Interest – Customer grants to PGI a security interest in all goods sold by PGI to Customer, and all proceeds and products thereof, to secure payment of the price of such goods and the interest and costs of collection described herein. This security interest is a purchase money security interest. Customer authorizes PGI to file financing statements in connection with this security interest.
Special Services or Products – Special services or products, such as fabrication by PGI of glass provided by the customer, will be subject to additional terms and conditions established by PGI for the operation.
Deadlines for Inspection and Claims – Customer will check each delivery from PGI, and will notify PGI of, and will note in writing on the packing slip any discrepancies between the delivery and the packing slip (including breakage or scratches) and will sign the note and have the driver sign the note, before the driver leaves Customer’s premises; otherwise PGI will not give credit for any discrepancies. Customer will inspect all goods purchased immediately and in any event before Customer installs the goods. Customer will retain defective goods for inspection by PGI for one (1) week after notifying PGI of the damage or defect, or longer if so, requested by PGI, and will return such goods to PGI at Customer’s expense. PGI will have no liability whatsoever for any defect or non-conformity that is not notified, or if the relevant goods are not made available for inspection, in the manner required by this paragraph.
Limited Warranty – For certain fabricated products, PGI’s additional warranties are provided in the Precision Glass Industries Limited Warranties document (the “Warranties”). PGI PROVIDES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Precision Glass Industries Rack Rider
The customer has requested the material to be packed and delivered on metal racks. PGI is willing to provide these racks and use them to accommodate the customer pursuant to the terms and conditions described below.
If a Customer requests a rack or racks in advance, and such request is approved by PGI, PGI will supply Customer, without charge, metal racks of the type and number necessary, at PGI’s discretion, to support the delivery of the material needed for individual projects. PGI warehouse will not be responsible for loading racked orders onto customers’ trailers. Customer is required to return the racks back to the PGI warehouse unless pre-approved via written consent through both parties. Customers can also return the racks to their shop for PGI to pick up at no charge if Customer’s shop is within the region in which PGI provides free delivery, which region may change from time to time at PGI’s sole discretion.
Rack Retrieval is an integral part of PGI operations, the timely return of the racks is critically important. Customers are allotted a 14-day grace period from the day of the delivery to clear and ready these racks for return to PGI. For Racks which were delivered to the Customer, the Customer must contact PGI’s logistics team to schedule a pickup.
Rack pickups are subject for pickup based on truck availability, capacity, and routing zones. The customer must maintain the racks until a pickup can be scheduled. The first attempt for rack retrieval will be at no charge (either at the jobsite or customer shop). If the first attempt is unsuccessful, there will be a charge associated with additional pickup attempts per each additional recovery attempt.
If Customer does not request a rack in advance, Customer may request a rack at will-call. Any such request is subject to availability and may result in an additional charge. If PGI does supply a rack in response to Customer’s request, an empty rack will be provided for the customer to load. For any such racks which are first requested at will call, PGI will not be responsible for loading products onto racks, nor will PGI be liable for any damage to glass which occurs while loading products onto racks. PGI warehouse will not be responsible for loading racked orders onto customers’ trailers. Customer is required to return the racks back to the PGI Warehouse. PGI logistics will not deploy a truck to pick up racks that were first requested at will-call.
All racks supplied by PGI shall remain the sole property of PGI and shall not be subject to any security interest of the customer or its creditors. During the period the racks are in the possession or custody of the customer, the Customer will be liable to PGI for any damages caused by the negligence or misuse of the racks by Customer, its employees, agents, contractors, and the like, including but not limited to storage of the racks. Customer will remain responsible for any damage to property or bodily injury caused by the racks while the racks are in Customer’s possession. Customer will indemnify and hold harmless PGI from any claims made by Customer, its employees or any third-party alleging damage to property or bodily injury in connection with the racks.
PGI will maintain a record of the racks and will ask the customer to acknowledge either receipt or return of these racks by signing for them on a separate delivery ticket. On this delivery ticket, the specific serial number of the rack will be noted, and we ask that you verify that the serial number on the racks is the same as on the delivery ticket.
Customer will not use the racks for internal business operations or for any purpose other than receipt of material sent to the Customer’s facility and/or jobsite by PGI.
If it becomes necessary to leave PGI Insulated Glass Units (IGU) and/or monolithic glass (lites) on a rack for an extended period prior to glazing and/or unitizing PGI recommends that the IGU and/or lites be stored indoors, in a dry, well-ventilated space. If indoor storage is not available and the units and/or lites must be stored outside on racks, they MUST be tarped and sealed so that there is no water penetration. PGI also recommends that the racks be raised off the ground to avoid the accumulation of water underneath the racks. PGI is not liable for any glass breakage or water damage after customer has received delivery on steel racks.
In the event the racks are not returned within 30 days of delivery to the Customer, or the rack is damaged, normal wear and tear excepted, PGI will bill the Customer $850 per rack. In the event the Customer does not pay the fees associated with failure to return racks or returning damaged racks, PGI shall be entitled to exercise any remedy at law and the Customer shall be responsible for all reasonable amounts expended by PGI, including costs associated with the recovery of the racks or fees, including attorney fees and court costs in connection therewith.
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY. No PGI employee has authority to change PGI’s warranties without specific written authorization from a corporate officer addressed to Customer. PGI shall have no liability for defects, whether hidden or apparent, resulting from the improper use, installation, processing or treatment of the racks, or any goods stored on the racks. The Customer shall be liable for any loss resulting from any failure to apply all professional standards, customary instructions and written instructions from PGI, if any, in relation to the racks or goods stored on the racks. PGI will not be liable for damage caused to third parties, or for consequential or indirect loss. PGI’s sole liability under warranty or contract, or on any other basis, is limited to either replacement of the product or a refund of the purchase price at PGI’s sole option; PGI will not be liable for labor costs or for consequential damages under any circumstances.
This agreement constitutes the entire understanding between PGI and the Customer with respect to the racks, and shall not be modified, amended, or altered except in writing, signed by each party.
