whether or not this form is delivered in regard to every particular sale.
ORDERING/SHIPPING INFORMATION
Prices quoted will be good for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote, subject to product availability. If a deposit is received
by St. Julian within 30 days from the date the price was quoted, the order will be deemed valid. If a deposit is not received within

DEPOSIT
A fifty percent (50%) deposit will be required at time of order. No bulk orders shall be accepted by St. Julian until a deposit in
the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the total purchase price is received by St. Julian.
ORDER SIZE
All wine volumes will be sold in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). There are three sizes available: 110 gallons, 220 gallons and
330 gallons. All orders should be made in 110gal increments; i.e. in one – or some combination/multiple – of above sizes. If you
choose to pick up a bulk order, the minimum order is 100 gallons.
IBC COST
There is no mark-up included in the prices listed for the IBC’s. Your invoice amount for IBC’s will be exactly the same as ours.
St. Julian will absorb the cost of maintaining an inventory of these containers. 110 gallon and 220 gallon IBC’s are shipped on
standard 40” x 48” four way grocer’s pallet. 330 gallon IBC’s are shipped on 46” x 46” four pallets. Prices are subject to change.

If not shipped within thirty (30) days of specified ship date, customer forfeits the fifty percent (50%) deposit as a restocking fee.
All prices quoted in price lists are subject to change.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
An order acknowledgement is subject to the terms and conditions included on this terms and conditions sheet which is hereby
incorporated herein by reference, acceptance of which is evidenced by your signature at time of each order. All orders are
shipped “In Bond” from St. Julian, FOB Paw Paw, MI to customers’ Bonded premises. Customer acknowledges and assumes
responsibility for all tax liability.
GAUGING
All St. Julian bulk wine and spirits orders are quantified by weight. We have certified scales “in house” that range in capacity
from the smallest IBC up to tank trucks. We use an Anton Paar Densitometer and a Bellingham & Stanley bench top
refractometer, both calibrated and certified, to determine product weight (pounds per gallon). We do not use, nor will accept,
tank gauges for shipments disputes. Customers are encouraged to verify quantity of orders by weight on a certified scale at time
of receipt, prior to unloading of container(s).
FREIGHT
Customer is responsible for securing and paying for transportation of order. St. Julian will, upon request, assist customer in
securing competitive freight rate quotations and/or scheduling shipment of order.
