2.1 Proposal Validity. Unless otherwise stated, quotes are valid for 30 days. Veptos reserves the right to adjust pricing due to material cost changes, engineering revisions, or availability.

2.2 Deposits. All orders require a minimum non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total contract price to initiate production. Higher deposits may be required for custom configurations.

2.3 Order Confirmation. Orders are binding only upon written confirmation by Veptos. Production begins only after deposit is received and design is approved in writing.

3.1 Risk of Loss / Title: right now it’s tied to acceptance. Consider adding a storage/pickup trigger (risk transfers once the product is “tendered”/made available if Customer delays acceptance).

3.2 Inspection & Acceptance
‍Customer shall inspect the Product promptly upon delivery and may reject it only if it:

• (a) materially deviates from the agreed specifications, or

• (b) has sustained visible shipping damage that renders it non-functional.

Customer must provide written notice of any rejection, including specific details, within five (5) business days of delivery. Failure to provide such notice within this period shall constitute final acceptance of the Product.

Upon valid rejection, Veptos shall have the exclusive right to, at its sole discretion:

• (i) repair the non-conforming Product,

• (ii) replace it with a conforming Product, or

• (iii) refund the portion of the purchase price attributable to the rejected item.

Upon acceptance—whether express or by lapse of the inspection period—title and risk of loss transfer to Customer, and the Product is deemed delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

4.1 Full Payment Due. Final payment is due prior to release of the Product unless a different schedule is agreed in writing.

4.2 Late Payments: add “lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law” (avoids usury fights).

4.3 No Offsets. Customer shall not withhold payment based on disputes, delays, or claims unless first adjudicated.

4.4 Events of Default. Customer will be in default if Customer: (a) fails to pay any amount when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice; (b) fails to provide requested adequate assurance of payment; (c) becomes insolvent, files (or has filed against it) any bankruptcy/receivership proceeding, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) breaches any material obligation under these Terms (including export/end-use compliance); or (e) refuses or fails to accept delivery or pickup after the Product is ready.

4.5 Remedies. Upon default, Veptos may, in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or equity:
(i) suspend or terminate work;
(ii) withhold shipment, delivery, documentation, title transfer, keys, access credentials, or software unlocks;
(iii) require cash-in-advance or additional security for any pending or future orders;
(iv) declare all unpaid amounts (including for work-in-process and committed materials) immediately due and payable;
(v) charge reasonable storage, handling, and insurance fees for Products not accepted or picked up when ready; and
(vi) pursue collection.

4.6 Collection Costs. Customer shall reimburse Veptos for all reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

5.1 Limited Warranty. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Veptos warrants its Products to be free from material and workmanship defects for:

• 6 months or 3,000 kilometers, whichever comes first

• Applies only to the original purchaser

5.2 Exclusions. Warranty does not cover:

• Normal wear and tear

• Damage due to misuse, improper maintenance, or accidents

• Third-party repairs or unauthorized modifications

• Consumables, glass, tires, fluids, brake pads, and similar components

6.1 Final Sale. All Products are built-to-order and are non-returnable, except where required by law or under limited warranty repair provisions.

6.2 Repair Requests. Veptos may, at its discretion, offer repair or replacement of defective parts during the warranty period. Customer must return defective components at their own cost.

6.3 Extended Support. Post-warranty support and upgrades may be available under a separate service agreement.

7.1 Compliance Responsibility. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that the Product is used:

• In accordance with local, state, federal, or international laws

• In an environment legally permitted for its tactical or armored nature

7.2 No Guarantee of Road Legality. Veptos makes no representation that the Product is legal for civilian highway use unless explicitly certified and stated in writing.

7.3 Assumption of Risk. Customer accepts all risks associated with operation, deployment, or storage of the Product.

8.1 No IP Transfer. All Veptos intellectual property—engineering, design files, software, vehicle architecture, branding—remains the sole property of Veptos.

8.2 License. Customer receives a limited, non-transferable license to use software or digital systems embedded in the Product strictly for operational use.

8.3 No Reverse Engineering. Customer shall not disassemble, replicate, or reverse engineer any component without prior written permission.

9.1 Regulatory Restrictions. Customer agrees to:

• Comply with all applicable U.S. export control laws

• Avoid resale or transfer of Products to restricted countries or entities

9.2 End User Certification. Veptos requires signed end-user statements or export licenses prior to delivery.

To the fullest extent allowed by law:

• Veptos’ total liability is limited to the amount paid for the Product in question

• Veptos is not liable for:

• Loss of business or profits

• Personal injury, death, or property damage arising from misuse or tactical deployment

• Delays caused by third parties, war, embargo, labor disputes, or supply chain issues

This limitation applies even if Veptos has been advised of possible damages.

Veptos shall not be liable for delays, non-performance, or failure to deliver caused by:

• Acts of God

• War, terrorism, or civil unrest

• Import/export restrictions

• Material shortages or transportation failure

• Pandemics or natural disasters

Customer agrees to keep all Veptos designs, specifications, pricing, and communications confidential, and shall not disclose them to third parties without written consent.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. All legal proceedings shall be brought in Bowie County, Texas courts, state or federal.

These Terms, together with any signed order form or agreement, represent the entire understanding between Veptos and Customer. No oral modifications shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties.

Sections on Warranty, Liability, IP, Compliance, and Confidentiality shall survive delivery, expiration, or termination of this agreement.
