Sales policy for Secondary Stainless

     All secondary stainless steel is sold on the basis of the buyer assuming the full risk for the product at the time of sale, providing that the steel is the correct chemistry, gauge, temper and width.  Secondary material is sold without mill test reports.

     "Lab certs" are available on request for secondary products to include test data on chemistry, mechanical properties and hardness.  These tests require a coupon to be cut from the coil which is then sent to a certified metallurgical lab of our choice or yours.  Our customer assumes all costs for sample preparation, mailing and the test fees.   Your Taunton sales representative can advise you of the cost for this service.  Be aware that the request for lab certs may delay shipping by a few days.  The test results are not a basis for sale unless said results conflict with the grade, gauge, temper or width as initially presented.

     Taunton will accept the material back within 30 days if it is not suitable and if it is returned in the original condition.

     Once the coil is altered or processed in any manner (slit, cut-to-length, polished) it is the property of the buyer and not returnable.

     Upon approval for return, the customer agrees to pay the inbound freight as invoiced and Taunton will pay for the return freight.

     Taunton accepts no charges for processing, yield loss, part failure or any other consequential costs related to the secondary steel.

     Terms of sale are 30 days from date of invoice.
