BANK & CREDIT CARD FEES: The purchaser will be responsible for any Bank charges incurred for processing
wire transfers, Canadian and/or International checks, or letters of credit. We have included in your invoice our
bank wire charges. Any other fees incurred by other banks are the responsibility of the customer. (Please
note that it is common for your bank as well as intermediate banks to charge a fee so you must prepay
these upfront or they get deducted from the remittance amount Rieker receives). Rieker may bill you in addition
to the invoice if Rieker is required to pay wire transfer fees incurred at your end. If remittance amount received is
short your shipment will be held until the balance due is resolved. If paying by credit card (VISA, MC, AMEX),
transactions $1000USD or greater are subject to credit card processing fees; international credit card purchases
under $1K are billed credit card processing fees. Domestic purchases under $1K are not billed credit card
processing fees (Rieker cannot split up credit card transactions for this purpose).

within 30 Days, the discounted price is subject to change. Net 60 terms are available, which are not discounted.
NET 30 Day Pricing means that payment must be received within Day 1 through Day 30. NET 60 Day Pricing
means that payment must be received within Day 31 through Day 60. Payments received after the NET Terms
extended are subject to additional fees. All prices are based on shipment quantity. Quoted pricing does not

credit card after utilizing NET TERMS will be subject to a 3% service fee.

A customer whose account is over 30 Days from the date of the invoice will be placed on credit hold. No additional
shipments will be made on open account until the past due balance is paid in full. In the event a customer’s
account is placed with a collection agency, the customer will be liable for, in addition to the original invoice
