Terms and Conditions

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

These Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale of Horizon Aviation, LLC.( “Horizon Aviation”), together with the terms of sale set forth in our signed proposal (“Proposal”) submitted to you, will be the only terms of sale applicable to our repair, overhaul or servicing (“Services as defined in the Proposal”) of your Aircraft and parts thereof (“Equipment”) described in the Proposal. 

1. General Terms & Conditions 

Performance of Work. In the event maintenance, modification or repair service is required or requested for the Aircraft, such work will be contracted directly between Customer and an authorized Horizon Aviation licensed and certified affiliate to perform such services.

2. Conditions of the Aircraft/Pricing 

All Inspections, Maintenance, Service Bulletins and Installations are priced based upon information in current circulation on the date of the proposal. Any subsequent releases may result in price changes due to changes in the applicable approved data. Proposal pricing is based on the assumption that: the Aircraft is in airworthy condition; there is adequate space for the requested work; and the existing electrical/avionics interfaces and electrical power will accommodate the new installations and modifications. Proposed prices and downtimes are contingent on the Customer providing Horizon Aviation with applicable: existing avionics, electrical and aircraft system diagrams and drawings; current weight and balance data; electrical load analysis data; and/or FAA Form 337 and other maintenance records and documentation that accurately represent the current condition of the Aircraft. Missing documentation or discrepancies between the supplied documents and the current Aircraft configuration that cause Horizon Aviation to research and complete the data to accomplish the proposed work scope will cause additional charges and may extend the downtime. Pricing assumes that the existing Aircraft wiring prints provided by the Customer match the current Aircraft configuration and that the existing structures will not have to be tested or modified in order to complete the work. In the event one or more of these assumptions is wrong, an estimate of the additional cost and time required to correct the deficiency will be submitted to the Customer for approval. Permanently removed equipment in which a customer is being provided a “trade-in credit” must be in Airworthy Condition. Additional charges may apply. 

Any repair or replacement shall be performed at Horizon Aviation's facility and Customer shall be responsible for transportation costs. Any work required that is not part of a proposal or changes to the proposed work scope will be performed at the current labor rate and may extend the Aircraft downtime. Downtime stated in proposals is based upon a timely availability and receipt of required materials. Unless specifically stated, existing hardware will be used. All fuel, lubricants and/or crew expenses, incurred for engine runs and all flight costs, are the Customer’s responsibility. All freight charges are the responsibility of the Customer and will be charged in addition to any proposed pricing. Unless specifically stated, all equipment and furnishings removed shall become the property of Horizon Aviation and may be discarded after Aircraft release and departure. Cancellation of any agreed work scope is subject to restocking/penalty charges; including charges for work performed. 

3. Customer-Supplied Parts 

All Customer-supplied parts are subject to an incoming inspection process. A handling charge of twenty percent (20%) of the Aircraft manufacturer’s List Price of the part (or a reasonable estimate by Horizon Aviation if list price is not available) will be invoiced to the Customer. Spare parts supplied from Customer stock or carried on the Aircraft are subject to a $100 incoming parts inspection fee, in lieu of the above charges. The Customer shall supply all appropriate part documents, as required by the governing airworthiness authority, with the supplied parts. 

4. Substitutions 

Horizon Aviation may incorporate changes in design, construction or installation and substitute equivalent equipment, accessories, parts, or material where it deems such changes necessary to improve the quality, performance, reliability, stability, utility or appearance of the goods or materials supplied hereunder. If any materials specified or contemplated herein are not readily procurable for their intended purpose due, directly or indirectly, to governmental prohibitions, restrictions or priorities, Horizon Aviation will have the right to substitute equivalent suitable materials. 

5. Delays 

Any proposed completion date is only an estimated completion date and is not guaranteed. Horizon Aviation is not liable or responsible for any loss of use or other damages for non-performance or delay of the work, consequential, regulation or ruling that directly or indirectly interferes with or renders more burdensome the work; non-availability of parts, materials or components from suppliers; delays in transportation; labor strikes; delays in governmental approval or other causes beyond Horizon Aviation’s reasonable control. 

6. Discrepancies and Additional Work 

Any additional work may extend the downtime of Components as well as increase the final invoice. For additional work and correction of discrepancies found during the inspection, the current hourly labor rates at the time of service shall be applicable. 

7. Supplemental Billings 

Horizon Aviation may be unable to secure final vendor or internal pricing on certain parts of services, such as exchange parts with core charges, at the time an invoice is required to process the payment. In those cases, an estimated invoice will be provided for payment in full (see above). After final prices are known, a final or additional invoice will be provided as quickly as possible to the Customer for payment. The Customer will be notified in this event. 

8. Payment Terms 

All pricing is in U.S. dollars. Payment in full is due upon completion of the work and prior to release of the Aircraft, unless Horizon Aviation accepts other arrangements. Acceptable methods of payment include cash, wire transfer, ACH, pre-approved company check or major credit card. Any credit card fees are the responsibility of the Customer. Deposits are required for the estimated amount of the equipment required, and not for the equipment itself. Horizon Aviation reserves the right to request additional deposits, progress payments and/or downtime for any additional work requested. Seven percent (7%) of the total labor will be added to the final invoice for expendables, not to exceed $1,500.00. Itemized pricing is for cost analysis only, and is not intended as stand-alone pricing. 

All labor quoted is based on posted standard labor rates and does not include overtime. Any overtime will be authorized by the Customer and will be billed at the posted overtime labor rate. Deposits become non-refundable ninety (90) days prior to the agreed aircraft arrival date, and will be retained by Horizon Aviation as liquidated damages in the event the project is cancelled. Customer agrees to pay one and one-half percentage (1.5%) points interest per month for all payments past due. Customer agrees that Horizon Aviation shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding to enforce its rights and/or to collect amounts due. Customer agrees that Credits or excess deposits on account will expire or become nonrefundable after twenty-four months of account inactivity. In the event Horizon Aviation is unable to secure final vendor or internal pricing on certain parts or services, such as exchange parts with core charges, at the time a final invoice is required to process the payment, Horizon Aviation will provide Customer with an estimated invoice for payment at the time of releasing the Aircraft. After final prices are known, a final or additional invoice will be provided to the Customer for payment. Prices quoted are in effect for a period of sixty (60) days from date of quote issuance.

Company’s prices and charges do not include such taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, excise, or any other similar or other taxes, fees, duties, tariff or charges assessed or imposed by any governmental authority (“taxes”).

Customer agrees to defend and protect Company from and against any claims for such taxes. 

10. Customer’s Inspection 

Customer shall promptly inspect the Aircraft or repaired part upon return thereof and notify Horizon Aviation, in writing, within ten (10) days of any claims of incomplete or unacceptable work. The failure of Customer to notify Horizon Aviation of any such claims within said ten (10) day period shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the Aircraft and all work and an admission by Customer that the work fully complies with all agreed terms, specifications, and conditions. 

11. Warranty and Disclaimers

Horizon Aviation will submit warranty allowable items for reimbursement from the manufacturer.
