Terms & Conditions
As a customer, I acknowledge and agree that I (hereinafter referred to as “I”, “me”, or “Customer”) am entering into a legally binding agreement with Sakom Investments LLC, dba Texas Wholesale, and Texas Wholesale Venture #1 LLC, dba Texas Wholesale II (hereinafter referred to as “Texas Wholesale”). I understand and accept the following terms and conditions, which govern my customer application with Texas Wholesale.
DEFINITIONS.
"Goods" refers to the tangible products, merchandise, or items provided or
offered by Texas Wholesale as part of the business relationship with the
Customer. It includes any physical goods, materials, or products that are
subject to purchase, delivery, or transaction.
"Contract" refers to each individual agreement for the sale of Texas
Wholesale's Goods to the Customer. The Contract is formed upon Texas
Wholesale's acceptance of the Customer's order, whether orally, in writing,
or by the delivery of the Goods. The Contract is created solely based on
such acceptance and is subject to these Terms and Conditions.
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE.
By utilizing the designated electronic signature platform provided by Texas Wholesale, I acknowledge and affirm that my electronic signature holds the same legal weight and enforceability as a handwritten signature. I understand and agree that the use of the designated electronic signature platform is a convenient and efficient means of signing and submitting documents electronically. I recognize that this electronic signing method does not diminish the legal validity or enforceability of the signed documents, ensuring that they are legally binding and admissible in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
DOCUMENT INTEGRITY.
I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to carefully review all documents before electronically signing and submitting them. I agree to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the information provided during the electronic signing process.
PAYMENT.
I understand and agree that all sums due from me as the Customer in respect
of each delivery shall be invoiced on dispatch. I acknowledge that all
invoices issued by Texas Wholesale must be paid in full, without any set off
or deduction, unless expressly agreed in writing by Texas Wholesale, on the
due date specified on the invoice. I further acknowledge that no
anticipation discount may be taken on invoices paid prior to their due date.
During any period in which sums due by me as the Customer to Texas Wholesale
on any Contract remain unpaid after the due date, I understand that Texas
Wholesale shall be entitled to suspend my account.
I acknowledge that all sums due from me to Texas Wholesale under any
Contract shall bear interest from the due date until payment is made in
full, at the highest rate allowed by applicable law.
I am aware that Texas Wholesale reserves the right to impose a credit limit
on me as the Customer, and that Texas Wholesale may amend such credit limit
from time to time. I understand that Texas Wholesale shall be entitled to
suspend deliveries of Goods to me if, and for the period of time during
which, any credit limit may be exceeded.
Bounced Checks/ACHs.
If any payment made via check or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction is returned or dishonored due to insufficient funds, closed accounts, or any other reason, the Company reserves the right to report such incidents to the appropriate authorities, including the District Attorney's office, and take appropriate legal action to recover the owed amount. I acknowledge that any returned or rejected check/ACHs may result in additional fees, the suspension of my account, and may affect my creditworthiness. In the event of any dispute arising out of or related to the payment of invoices, both parties agree that the prevailing party shall have the right to seek reimbursement of reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred in connection with resolving such disputes. The prevailing party is the party that succeeds on the majority of the significant issues in the dispute. In case of non-payment, bounced checks/ACHs, or any breach of these terms and conditions, the Company reserves the right to pursue civil and/or criminal proceedings as allowed by law. The Company may seek remedies such as damages, injunctive relief, and any other available legal remedies to enforce its rights under these terms.
ACH PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION.
By signing and submitting my customer application, I authorize Texas Wholesale to initiate electronic Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit transactions from my designated bank account. This authorization allows Texas Wholesale to collect payment for goods and services provided. I understand that the ACH debit transactions will be processed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). I agree to maintain sufficient funds in my designated bank account to cover the authorized ACH debits. I acknowledge that any returned or rejected ACH transactions may result in additional fees, the suspension of my account, and may affect my creditworthiness.
DELIVERY.
I acknowledge and agree that each delivery from Texas Wholesale requires a
minimum order value of $1250, excluding Cigarettes, Phone Cards, and Drinks.
This minimum order requirement is essential to ensure efficient operations
and cost-effectiveness for both parties involved. Failure to meet the
minimum order requirement may result in additional fees or the inability to
process the order. Texas Wholesale reserves the right to modify the minimum
order requirement, with reasonable notice provided to customers. Any changes
to the minimum order requirement will not affect orders already placed or in
progress. It is the responsibility of the customer to adhere to the minimum
order requirements and plan their purchases accordingly to ensure timely and
satisfactory fulfillment of their orders. Texas Wholesale may, at its
discretion, waive the minimum order requirement on a case-by-case basis,
subject to mutual agreement between Texas Wholesale and the customer. Such
waivers shall not create a precedent or obligation for future transactions.
Customers are encouraged to consult with their designated Texas Wholesale
representative for any inquiries or clarifications regarding the minimum
order requirements.
I understand that any delivery dates provided by Texas Wholesale are
estimates only, and the time of delivery shall not be considered essential
unless expressly agreed upon in writing. Texas Wholesale does not deliver to
PO boxes or residential addresses.
I acknowledge and agree that Texas Wholesale shall not be liable in any
manner to me as the Customer for any non-delivery or late delivery of the
Goods, regardless of the reason. I understand that Texas Wholesale shall not
be responsible for any loss, including but not limited to any direct or
indirect consequential loss or lost opportunity, arising from any
non-delivery or late delivery of all or any part of the Goods.
I understand that in the event that Texas Wholesale is unable to fulfill the
entire order due to supply issues or other circumstances beyond their
reasonable control, they will make their best efforts to fulfill the order
to the fullest extent possible. I understand that there may be instances
where they are unable to fulfill the order in its entirety. I acknowledge
and agree that Texas Wholesale shall not be held liable for any inability to
deliver the complete order, and I understand that the invoice issued by
Texas Wholesale will be updated to reflect the actual amount of Goods
delivered.
If I fail to accept delivery of the Goods, I acknowledge that the Goods
shall be deemed to have been delivered, and the risk in the Goods shall pass
to me. Texas Wholesale shall arrange for storage and insurance of the Goods
until delivery is completed and reserves the right to charge me for all
costs incurred in connection with storage and insurance.
CANCELLATION.
I understand and agree that, unless provided in writing by Texas Wholesale,
I am not entitled to cancel any order once it has been placed. Texas
Wholesale retains the sole discretion to grant or deny cancellation
requests. In the event that Texas Wholesale grants consent for order
cancellation, I acknowledge and agree that the Goods must be returned to
Texas Wholesale in their original state as they were upon delivery. Any
costs associated with the return of the Goods shall be borne by me as the
Customer.
I understand that the cancellation of an order may be subject to additional
terms and conditions as determined by Texas Wholesale. I agree to abide by
any specific requirements or instructions provided by Texas Wholesale in the

damage shall pass to me as the Customer. It is my responsibility to ensure
the safekeeping and protection of the Goods from the time of delivery.
I understand and agree that Texas Wholesale retains ownership of the Goods
until full payment has been received. Until payment in full is made, I
acknowledge that the Goods remain the property of Texas Wholesale and I hold
them as a bailee.

security of the Goods. I will handle and store the Goods with due care,
protecting them from theft, loss, or damage. Any loss or damage occurring

the Goods and pursue any legal remedies available to recover the outstanding
amounts.
INSPECTION.
I acknowledge and agree that it is my responsibility as the Customer to
inspect the Goods promptly upon delivery. At delivery, I shall carefully
examine the Goods to ensure they conform to the agreed specifications,
quantity, and quality. Any claims related to non-conforming Goods, including
incorrect quantity, damaged Goods, or discrepancies, must be reported to
Texas Wholesale in writing at the time of delivery. Failure to provide such
notice may result in the waiver of any such claims.

of any non-conformities during delivery, I shall be deemed to have accepted
the Goods in their delivered condition, and no further claims or remedies
will be available to me.

the prior written consent of Texas Wholesale. Texas Wholesale reserves the
right to determine the appropriate resolution, which may include repair,
replacement, or refund, subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon
between Texas Wholesale and me.

and conditions shall be limited and exclusive. It shall replace and exclude
all other liabilities, whether under any other warranties, conditions, or
terms, express or implied, by law or otherwise. This limitation of liability

any other legal theory, and includes any liability regarding the quality,
condition, description, or fitness for any particular purpose of the Goods,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THAT TEXAS WHOLESALE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ME FOR
ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR
ENHANCED DAMAGES. THIS INCLUDES DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR

EFFECT NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY TO FULFILL
ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

the Goods during the preceding six (6) month period, or $5,000, whichever is
less. This limitation of liability shall apply regardless of the number or
nature of the claims giving rise to liability.
LICENSE RENEWAL.
I understand and acknowledge that it is my responsibility to ensure that all
necessary licenses, including but not limited to the Texas E-Cigarette
Retailer Permit and the Texas Cigarette and/or Cigars and Tobacco Products
Taxes Permit, are renewed. License renewal is a crucial requirement to
comply with relevant laws and regulations and maintain eligibility to
conduct business with Texas Wholesale. Failure to renew these licenses may
result in the suspension or termination of my account. Texas Wholesale will
provide notice and reminders regarding license renewal deadlines as a
courtesy, but it remains my sole responsibility to initiate and complete the
renewal process within the required timeframe. Texas Wholesale reserves the
right to request updated copies of the renewed licenses to ensure
compliance. It is essential that I promptly provide Texas Wholesale with the
renewed licenses upon receipt. Texas Wholesale will keep the renewed
licenses on file for the duration of our business relationship. I understand
that the failure to renew licenses may result in legal consequences and
jeopardize the continuity of my account with Texas Wholesale. I am
responsible for any fees or penalties associated with license renewal and
will bear any costs related to non-compliance. Should any changes occur to
the licensing requirements or procedures, Texas Wholesale will make
reasonable efforts to communicate such updates, but it remains my
responsibility to stay informed and adhere to the prevailing licensing
requirements. I am encouraged to seek professional advice or consult with
appropriate authorities to ensure compliance with all licensing obligations.
Texas Wholesale shall not be held liable for any losses, damages, or
liabilities arising from my failure to renew the required licenses or comply
with applicable licensing regulations.
