These terms and conditions of sale (these "Terms"), together with the Home Improvement
Contract and/or
Proposal (collectively, the "Proposal" or the "Contract") to which these Terms are attached
are the only
terms which govern the sale of the generator and related products, components and parts
(collectively, the
"Goods") and provision of services, including installation of the Goods ("Services")
identified on the
Proposal. These Terms and the Contract (together, this "Agreement") comprise the entire
agreement between
West Coast Energy Systems LLC (d/b/a Golden State Power Solutions) ("Seller") and the
customer named in
the Contract ("Customer"), and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings,
agreements,
representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. Seller objects to
any different
or additional terms contained in any other document sent or to be sent by Customer, which
are expressly
rejected. Other than an exercise by Customer of its three-day right to cancel as set forth
in this
Agreement, this Agreement may only be amended or modified in a writing stating specifically
that it amends
this Agreement and is signed by each party. If Customer signs up for the Mobile Link
Monitoring service,
such service is governed by separate subscription terms and conditions.
Seller shall install the Goods at Customer's premises (the "Premises") as identified in the
Proposal,
using Seller's standard methods. Seller agrees to complete the installation of the Goods,
subject to this
Agreement, and shall use reasonable efforts to meet any performance dates identified in the
Proposal,
which are estimates only, subject to the availability of the Goods and receipt of the
necessary permits
for installation of the Goods. Seller shall not be liable for any delays. Customer shall (i)
cooperate
with Seller in all matters relating to the Services and provide such access to the Premises,
including
supplying the necessary utilities for installation of the Goods, and such accommodation as
may reasonably
be requested by Seller, for the purposes of performing the Services; and (ii) respond
promptly to any
Seller request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations, or decisions
that are
necessary for Seller to perform Services.
Title and risk of loss passes to Customer upon installation of the Goods at the Premises. As
collateral
security for the payment of the purchase price under the Agreement, Customer hereby grants
to Seller a
lien on and security interest in and to all of the right, title and interest of Customer in,
to and under
the Goods, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from
time to time,
and in all accessions thereto and replacements or modifications thereof, as well as all
proceeds
(including insurance proceeds) of the foregoing. The security interest granted under this
paragraph
constitutes a purchase money security interest under the California Uniform Commercial Code.
If Seller's performance of its obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by
any act or
omission of Customer, Seller shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations under this
Agreement or
otherwise liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by Customer, in each case, to
the extent
arising directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
Customer shall purchase the Goods and Services from Seller at the price(s) set forth in the
Proposal
(the "Price"). The Price is exclusive of all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other
similar taxes,
duties, and charges of any kind imposed on any amounts payable by Customer. Seller will
obtain all
required building permits, at the sole expense of the Customer. Upon demand by the Seller,
the Customer
shall provide funds to acquire any and all necessary permits in a timely fashion. Customer
will pay
assessments and charges required by public bodies and utilities for financing or repaying
the cost of
sewers, storm drains, water service, schools and school facilities, other utilities, hook-up
charges and
the like.
Customer shall pay the Price at such times and in such amounts as are set forth in the
Proposal.
Customer shall pay interest on all late payments at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month
or the
highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly.
Customer shall
reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in collecting late payments, including, without
limitation,
attorneys' fees. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law
(which Seller
does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Seller shall be entitled to suspend
the
installation of the Goods or performance of any Services if Customer fails to pay any
amounts when due
hereunder.
The Goods are sold by Seller subject to the current version of the 5 Year Limited Warranty
for Standby
Generators from Generac Power Systems, Inc. ("Generac"), which can be found at
https://generac.power-plans.com/terms?key=1, and copies of which are available to Customer
upon request
(the "Generac Warranty"). The limitations, and Customer's sole remedies related to the
Generac Warranty,
are contained therein. EXCEPT FOR THE GENERAC WARRANTY AND EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW,

MERCHANTABILITY; OR (B) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR (C) WARRANTY OF
TITLE; WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR
OTHERWISE. ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY STATE LAW SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERMS
OF THE
EXPRESS WARRANTY PROVIDED IN THE GENERAC WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON
HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH
IN THE
GENERAC WARRANTY SHALL BE THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SELLER'S ENTIRE
LIABILITY FOR ANY
BREACH OF THE GENERAC WARRANTY. THE GENERAC WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU
ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS FROM STATE TO STATE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, OR
FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETER ARISING
OUT OF BREACH
OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES
WERER
FORSEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME
STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATED
TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE),
OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE AMOUNTS PAID TO SELLER FOR THE GOODS AND SERVICES SOLD
HEREUNDER;
PROVIDED, THAT THE LIMITATION ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SENTENCE SHALL NOT APPLY TO (I)
LIABILITY
RESULTING FROM SELLER'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND (II) DEATH OR BODILY
INJURY RESULTING
FROM SELLER'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS.

arise that might cause damage to the Goods. Seller shall not be responsible for any such
damage beyond its
reasonable control.
Customer shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this
