This document is subject to change without notice.

Order Placement

All purchase orders (each, an “Order”) are required to be in writing, and can be sent electronically via email or fax. All orders must have complete information including the contact name, company name, address to be billed, Ship To address if different from the Bill To address, paper grade, weight, finish, size, quantity, price per CWT, packing, delivery and end use. Any special packaging requirements must accompany the Order in writing with all detailed information.

Delivery dates are required at the time of order placement. Orders are accepted as specified on Mitsubishi's email acknowledgment issued by the Customer Service Department. Any difference between the acknowledgment and the Order must be communicated to the Customer Service Department within 48 hours from the time the acknowledgment is sent. Ship and delivery dates on the order acknowledgment are considered requested dates and are not guaranteed. Every effort will be made to fulfill the requested delivery dates.

All mill container direct purchase orders (“Mill Direct” Orders) are due on or before the 5th day of each month and will be shipped approximately 60 days from the Order date. Shipping time will vary based on the delivery point. If the Order is shipping directly to the End User, a secondary shipping address is mandatory on all Orders. This is to prevent any receiving issues at the time of the delivery.

All Stock purchase orders will be subject to availability. Orders received by the Customer Service Department by 4:00PM EST will ship out the next business day. Any Order received after 4:00PM EST will ship by the second business day. Any same day delivery Orders must be received by 10:00AM EST, and will incur a same day fee of $50.00.

Mill Direct orders must be ordered in full 20ft Container load per paper grade. A 20ft container is greater than 17 metric ton for SWORD, or 16 metric ton for PREMIER and VALUE IJ.

Order Acknowledgements

All purchase orders are subject to a written purchase order acknowledgement (each, an “Acknowledge-ment”), which will be emailed to Customer and initiates the order. An Acknowledgement constitutes Mitsubishi's acceptance of the Order and serves as the final agreement between parties, superseding all prior price quotes and communications. If Customer objects to the Acknowledgment, the objection must be in writing and delivered to Mitsubishi within 48 hours of Customer's receipt of such Acknowledgement. Subsequent revisions to the Acknowledgement may be made only upon the written agreement and acknowledgement by Mitsubishi and the Customer. Mitsubishi's acceptance of every Order is expressly limited to, and made conditional on, Customer's assent to the terms and conditions of sale as outlined in these Sales Terms and Conditions Guidelines, which are included with the Acknowledgment. Mitsubishi objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Customer not specifically accepted in writing by Mitsubishi.

Order Change Requests

Orders will be considered firm and binding once the Acknowledgment has been sent by Mitsubishi to the Customer. A change in the amount or the grade must be requested in writing by Customer and subject to Mitsubishi's written approval, in Mitsubishi's sole discretion. Additional fees will be applied for the storage and handling of delayed shipments and/or a change in delivery appointment occurs. Consult the Customer Service Department with any request to change Orders.

Stock orders may be changed up to 2:00PM the same day the Order is placed. For requests that come after 2:00PM, consult a Customer Service Representative. A $250 fee may be applied to the order if Mitsubishi incurs additional charges resulting from the change request.

Order Cancellations

Except as otherwise provided herein, any Mill Direct Order cancellation requests must be made by the Customer, in writing, within 48 hours after Mitsubishi sends the Acknowledgement to the Customer. After 48 hours from the Acknowledgement the Order cannot be cancelled, changed or withdrawn.

For any stock order, please refer to Order Change Requests, as noted above.
