General Terms for Sales or Rentals of Goods and Services
These General Terms and Conditions (“General Terms”) along with the proposal, work order, field ticket, delivery ticket, notes to pricing, contract or invoice referencing these General Terms or to which these General Terms are attached (“Order Document”) set forth the agreement between STALLION INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES, LTD. (“Stallion”) and the customer (“Customer”) identified in the Order Document, relating to Stallion providing to Customer (i) products, materials, supplies, machinery, parts, tools or equipment (“Equipment”), (ii) services (“Services”), (iii) rental of Equipment (“Rental”), (iv) or sales of Equipment (“Sales”). All Equipment, Services, Rental and Sales are referred to collectively as “Work”. Stallion’s acceptance of the Order Document and performance of the Work is expressly conditioned upon Customer’s assent to, and all Work will be only in accordance with, these General Terms, notwithstanding different or additional terms and conditions contained on any of Customer’s forms, which are hereby objected to and rejected, and which will not be binding on Stallion. Further, in the event that Stallion signs and returns an acknowledgement copy of a Customer work order, purchase order, service agreement, lease, rental agreement or similar document relating to Stallion providing Work to Customer, the Customer agrees that Stallion’s signature thereon is provided solely (i) as an accommodation to Customer for Customer’s internal administrative purposes only, (ii) does not signify Stallion agreement to any terms or conditions contained therein which vary, conflict with, or impose additional obligations to the provisions set forth in these General Terms and (iii) shall be void and of no force or effect and shall not alter, modify, amend or otherwise change the terms of these General Terms,. The failure of either party to enforce any provision hereof will not constitute a waiver or preclude subsequent enforcement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Stallion and Customer have a fully executed, unexpired and valid Master Service Agreement or other agreement in place that governs their relationship with respect to Work between Stallion and Customer, then these General Terms shall not apply and will be of no force or effect.
- Prices
A. Customer agrees to pay Stallion for the Work ordered in accordance with the prices set forth in the Order Document, or if not specified then the Stallion price schedule prevailing on the date of (i) delivery of Equipment made the subject of the Sale or Rental, or (ii) performance of the Services. All prices and rates quoted are exclusive of all shipping charges, mobilization and demobilization, customs expenses, import and export expenses, duties, federal, state, local and foreign sales, use, excise and withholding taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes (“Transactional Taxes”) that Stallion is required by law to collect or that Customer may incur in connection with the use of, or in connection with the payment for, the Work. Customer shall advise Stallion of its Transactional Taxes status and shall provide Stallion with appropriate documentation to support such Transactional Taxes status claim. Customer will promptly notify Stallion of any change in Transactional Taxes status and will reimburse Stallion for any expenses incurred by Stallion resulting from that change. Such charges, if any, shall be for Customer’s account and if incurred by Stallion then separately stated in Stallion’ invoices. All documentation, legalization and related items will be Customer’s responsibility and account unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized Stallion signatory.
B. Prices are quoted from the Stallion facility where the Work is made available (the “Departure Base”). Customer will arrange for shipment of Equipment and pay for all crating, handling, shipping costs, and all mobilization and demobilization costs, if applicable. If Customer requests Stallion to arrange for shipment, Stallion may at its own election, ship to Customer in a commercially reasonable manner, at Customer’s sole risk and expense. Stallion may charge an administration fee when Stallion makes shipping arrangements. Personnel travel and related costs will be as specified in the Order Document, or if not specified then pursuant to Stallion’ then applicable rates.
C. Prices are based on Stallion’ standard procedures and specifications for providing Work. All costs of additional labor, materials or outside service for modification of such procedures or specifications requested by Customer will be charged to the Customer, including direct and indirect costs, such as technical support, labor, overhead, administrative costs, and shop supplies.
D. Prices for Sales and Rentals may not include the cost of personnel, equipment, or aids required to install any Equipment. Upon request, Stallion will provide such personnel, equipment, or aids at its then applicable rates.
E. Order Documents agreed to by Customer and Stallion may be cancelled or modified only with Stallion written consent. By executing the Order Document referencing these General Terms or by accepting the Work, Customer agrees to be bound by a subsequent written (including by email, facsimile, text message) modifications to the Work, and pricing reflected in the original or subsequent mutually accepted Order Document (including a paid invoice). Any cancellation or Customer requested delays of an Order Document will result in a charge equal to (a) the prices and costs for the Work included in the Order Document, (b) the reasonable costs committed to by Stallion that are not cancelable or recoverable; (c) any applicable standby rates; and (d) any costs associated with the demobilization incurred by Stallion.
F. Stallion reserves the right to approve or reject the credit of any Customer and to establish credit terms for each Customer. Stallion may terminate the Order Document or modify credit terms at any time while furnishing Work to Customer without further liability if Stallion assessment, in Stallion’ sole discretion, of Customer’s financial condition materially changes.
G. Standard payment terms are net thirty (30) days after the date of Stallion’ invoice, unless otherwise provided in the Order Document. All payments, unless otherwise specified in the Order Document, shall be made in U.S. Dollars to Stallion at PO BOX 842364, Dallas, TX 75284-2364. If credit or payment terms are not met, in addition to its other legal rights, Stallion may (i) defer or cancel, at its option, all or any portion of the Work, and (ii) charge Customer interest at the lesser of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, on the unpaid balance due. Customer will pay all of Stallion’ costs, including attorney’s fees and court costs, incurred in connection with the collection of past due amounts from Customer. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to prevent Stallion from claiming, filing or enforcing any liens when the rights thereto arise directly from Customer’s failure to pay Stallion in breach of the Order Document or these General Terms.
H. Any expenses, charges, goods, inventory, equipment, or other personal property provided to Customer by Stallion from or involving third parties shall be supplied to Customer at Stallion’ cost plus an administration fee, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
I. Customer shall notify Stallion within five (5) business days after receipt of an invoice if Customer in good faith disputes all or some element of the invoice. Customer and Stallion shall promptly attempt to resolve any dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall pay the portion of any invoice that is not disputed in good faith.
J. If Customer has a credit balance with Stallion, then Stallion shall be entitled to set off such credit against other amounts owed by Customer by providing Customer with written notice describing (i) the basis for such credit balance in reasonable detail, and (ii) how the credit will be applied. The terms of this section apply to, and includes, Customer’s and Stallion’ respective affiliates.
2. Delivery/Disclaimer. Stallion will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have Equipment ready for shipment by the agreed date, subject to receipt by Stallion of all necessary Customer information. STALLION ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ITS LATE DELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order Document, delivery of Equipment will occur upon delivery of such Equipment to Customer’s location or pick up by Customer or its agents (“Delivery”). Customer shall inspect all Equipment upon Delivery and confirm that it is in good working order and repair, and suitable for Customer’s needs. If Customer fails to inspect the Equipment immediately upon Delivery, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Equipment as delivered.
3. Risk of Loss. Risk of loss of Rental Equipment will pass to Customer upon Delivery of Equipment. Risk of loss of Equipment sold to Customer will pass to Customer upon shipment of Equipment (“FOB Shipping Point”). If Stallion has not received shipping instructions at the time of delivery or if Customer requests that Stallion store the Equipment until further instruction or if Customer does not inform Stallion of shipping instructions for other reasons, Stallion shall act as a bailee of such Equipment and may charge Customer its customary storage rates. During any such bailment, Customer will maintain all-risk property insurance on Equipment, at its replacement value, and Stallion will not be liable for deterioration or loss of Equipment resulting from atmospheric conditions, acts of God, or other events not within Stallion reasonable control.
4. Rental Terms.
A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in these General Terms, upon Delivery of Rental Equipment and continuing until such time as the Rental Equipment is returned to the designated Stallion location or picked up by Stallion at Customer’s location (as applicable, herein called “Return”), such Rental Equipment shall be deemed to be in the care, custody, and control of Customer. Risk of loss of or damage to such Rental Equipment shall pass to Customer upon its Delivery and shall remain with Customer until its Return. During this period, Customer shall assume all obligations and liability concerning the Rental Equipment, and for its safe use, maintenance, operation, condition, and storage, including without limitation, liability for the loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the Rental Equipment (or any part thereof) and for all other risks and liabilities arising from the use, operation, condition, possession, or storage of the Rental Equipment from any cause whatsoever. Customer shall pay Stallion the replacement value of new equipment of like quality for any Rental Equipment that is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged. Upon Return, if Stallion determines the Rental Equipment is damaged beyond ordinary wear and tear, then Customer shall be responsible for all costs for service work, inspections and parts required to bring the Rental Equipment to good working condition.
B. Customer will keep all Equipment free from liens and encumbrances arising in connection with Customer’s operations and/or use of the Equipment.
C. Customer, at its sole cost, shall provide and maintain insurance against the loss, theft, damage, or destruction of the Equipment used in connection with a Rental in an amount not less than the replacement value.
D. The Rental term shall be for the duration specified in the Order Document ("Rental Term"). If no term is specified in the Order Document, or if Customer fails to Return prior to the expiration of the Rental Term, then the Rental Term shall be/become month to month. Upon the expiration of the Rental Term, Customer will at its sole cost Return or coordinate the Return of the Rental Equipment.
5. GPS Tracking. Customer and Stallion each consent to the collection and monitoring of electronic information, including Global Positioning System (“GPS”) data, generated by or in connection with Customer’s use of or the location of the Equipment (including through or utilizing telematics devices). Customer agrees that Stallion owns the data described in this paragraph and may use such data, including GPS data, in accordance with Stallion’s Privacy Policy. Customer shall obtain all required consents as may be required under any applicable laws from its employees, contractors or other Qualified Operators to permit Stallion’s collection and use of data under this section.

A. The parties acknowledge and agree that all sensitive and proprietary information provided by one party to the other party under these General Terms (the “Confidential Information”) are considered TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY, and CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the disclosing party.

The receiving party further agrees not to reverse engineer, copy, modify, manufacture or practice any of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of these General Terms, all Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property and proprietary information of disclosing party, and is disclosed in confidence by disclosing party in reliance on receiving party’s agreement to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence and not to use or disclose such Confidential Information to any other person unless required by law or regulation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stallion may identify Customer as a customer or client.
B. The data transmitted between Stallion’s (or Stallion’s contractors’ or licensors’) servers and the Equipment may be encrypted for the Customer’s protection. However, the security of information transmitted through the Internet can never be guaranteed and Customer, therefore, agrees (i) that Stallion and its representatives are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the Internet or for changes to or losses of data, and (ii) to be responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID, or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Equipment and Services.

B.
