Retail Dealer Requirements
To become a ACK LLC Retail Dealer, a dealer must sign and execute the ACK LLC Retail Dealer Application and provide all sales tax exemption forms, whether or not the dealer requests an open account. The dealer acknowledges that providing a current state exemption form alone does not constitute qualification as a ACK LLC Retail Dealer. In addition, the retail dealer must keep current all applicable state vendors' licenses, sales tax exemptions, and any other relevant federal, state or local licenses, permits, etc., to maintain its status as a ACK LLC Retail Dealer. ACK LLC reserves the right to demand and verify any licenses or permits at ACK LLC' discretion. Further, the retail dealer acknowledges responsibility for notifying ACK LLC regarding a change of address, ownership (including any change in business structure) or state and/or local status as soon as such change becomes effective. All orders are subject to the approval and acceptance of ACK LLC, and will only become a binding contract upon final acceptance at any ACK LLC warehouse.
By signing and submitting the ACK LLC Retail Dealer Application, and by placing orders and accepting shipment of product from ACK LLC, the ACK LLC Retail Dealer acknowledges that it accepts and further agrees to be bound by and comply with these Terms and Conditions and all Terms and Conditions stated on Invoices shipped with any product.
