quicksilver manufacturing
one of the “founding fathers” of the ultralight industry, us company quicksilver aircraft, has ceased manufacturing .
but while rising costs and falling sales have forced closure of its california manufacturing facility, quicksilver representatives say the company is exploring ways to keep the name alive, and continue support for existing owners .
these terms and conditions, shall apply to buyer (“customer”) and your purchase of parts (“parts”) from the seller quicksilver (“quicksilver”). any terms contained in the customer’s order which are inconsistent with quicksilver’s terms and conditions hereof, shall be for the buyer’s internal purposes only and shall not be binding upon quicksilver, without quicksilver ownership’s written consent .
unless documented and agreed upon by quicksilver, payment terms are typically net 30 for all customers in good standing with quicksilver, as determined by the sole discretion of quicksilver. for orders over $ 10, 000 a 50% deposit is required, unless otherwise agreed upon. credit card payments are subject to a 3% bank processing fee. in certain circumstances, where customer is determined by quicksilver to be at high risk of payment default, as a security interest, quicksilver reserves the right to not provide parts to customer until all sums owed to quicksilver have been paid in full. until payment is fully fulfilled, title to any parts shall remain with quicksilver as a security interest. shipping charges are not included in quotes. all freight estimates are subject to prevailing cost at time of shipment. unless otherwise confirmed by quicksilver in writing, all quicksilver shipments are sent using customer’s fedex or ups priority. if quicksilver uses it’s own shipping means, it assumes no liability for any taxes or duties. delivery terms for all parts are ex works manufacturing facility; therefore, delivery failures are not quicksilver’s responsibility .

but high fixed costs and ageing manufacturing machinery have recently coincided with a downturn in aircraft sales in the united states, pushing quicksilver over the edge of the cashflow precipice, even after attempting to restructure. while it may eventually prove to be the end of the quicksilver name, the owners are not giving up yet and may look to long - term dealers as potential saviours, as the official legal explanation describes .
starting job: the quote and these terms and conditions, contain the entire terms and conditions relative to an order from customer and quicksilver. quicksilver’s receipt of a purchase order, email, or written document from customer instructing quicksilver to proceed with the production of its quoted manufacturing of parts serves as a confirmation that the customer has read, agree to, and approve to be bound by the quicksilver terms and conditions listed on this page. any terms, conditions or writing contained in a purchase order or writing addressing the subject matter of this transaction, shall be for the customer’s internal purposes only and the terms and conditions contained therein shall have no force or effect. quicksilver objects to any differing or additional terms or conditions contained in any request of quote, purchase order or other writing or document of the customer, and no such difference in terms shall be binding or have effect on quicksilver once order has been accepted by quicksilver, in the event that the customer requests changes to their order, quicksilver must agree to this specific change in writing. due to the change, any subsequent delay in delivery or additional charges to the original price is the responsibility of the customer .
“they want to continue is some shape or other moving forward, ” said australian quicksilver authorised factory dealer bert moonen. “there will be an auction to sell off the parts and equipment so that they can pay their current debts, but they are committed to the long term with quicksilver. ”
quotation prices and terms are valid for 30 days of quoted date. prices are in us dollars to be paid by check, credit card or electronic bank transfer. customer may not cancel or change order after accepted by quicksilver unless agreed to by quicksilver ownership. customer must reimburse all time, and materials used for work completed prior to cancellation. quicksilver reserves the right to change quoted price and delivery schedule based upon receipt of final data, and requirements .
all parts are assumed to be prototypes, used exclusively for development testing, product evaluation, or quality evaluation. if not, quicksilver needs to be alerted and will need to respond with a written confirmation of this condition. quicksilver assumes no tax, duty or tariff liability, for it’s sale or shipment of parts, other than for sales tax required for north carolina customers .
legendary us ultralight manufacturer quicksilver aircraft, which has delivered more than 15, 000 kits over 42 years of manufacture, has closed its california factory and is looking to long - time dealers as potential rescuers .
any dispute that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement of the parties, shall be settled by arbitration in new hanover county, north carolina. the rights of the customer and quicksilver are to be governed by the laws of the state of north carolina. breach of contract actions pursuing damages must be commenced within 3 months of the breach action occurrence. this agreement and these terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between quicksilver and customer
any dispute that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement of the parties, shall be settled by arbitration in new hanover county, north carolina. the rights of the customer and quicksilver are to be governed by the laws of the state of north carolina. breach of contract actions pursuing damages must be commenced within 3 months of the breach action occurrence. this agreement and these terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between quicksilver and customer .
quicksilver assumes no liability for any damages or charges incurred by the customer as a result of a delay. in no event will quicksilver be liable for consequential damages. risk of loss is transferred to customer upon delivery to the shipping carrier. customer needs to communicate within four days of the date of shipment, in writing, if customer thinks any parts in the shipment are missing, damaged, or incorrect. unless customer has notified, specifying the details of what is missing, damaged, or incorrect within this time frame, the parts are deemed accepted, non refundable, and non returnable. customer acknowledges that quicksilver reserves the right to use subcontractors in the performance of it’s obligations for an order .
shipping & delivery: expedited delivery potential is a consideration at time of order. any delivery time statements represents quicksilver’s intention or typical delivery time, but may differ from actual delivery time. any parts run over the initial first shot sample quantity will be run at the customer’s risk. shipments are made using fedex or ups, typically using the customer’s account number for quickest delivery possible. delivery terms for all shipments and goods are ex works from origin of production facility, therefore delivery failures are not quicksilver’s responsibility .
quicksilver has been an industry icon since 1972, when founder dick eipper modified one of his own rigid - wing hang glider designs with an engine as a self - launching glider for american pilots living in areas without suitable launching hills. the design evolved in to an ultralight aircraft for powered cross country flying, first with two - axis control (elevators and rudder) and finally three axis control with control column and pedals. quicksilver has sold various versions, from semi - enclosed to float equipped, delivering more than 15, 000 kits to customers around the world, nearly all of which the company believes are flying .
customer agrees to indemnify quicksilver, it’s officers, employees, agents, representatives, and suppliers from and against any and all liability, claims, damages and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, and litigation expenses) arising out of or relating to any claim or action, regardless of form, concerning any breach of this agreement by customer, any acts or omissions by customer relating to customer’s performance under this agreement, and any claim of third parties arising out of this agreement or the sale of parts herein. this indemnification extends to quicksilver, deeming them harmless from any claim that the parts produced hereunder or the designs, drawing or other specifications (materials) violate any patent or proprietary rights. customer agrees that it is customer’s responsibility to pursue patent, copyright or other proprietary rights protection as well as ensuring that the parts and materials do not infringe on other third party patents or proprietary rights. quicksilver makes no representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind whatsoever with respect to any goods or services, including, but not limited to any warranty of mequicksilverhantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non - infringement .
quotes: based upon customer’s (buyer’s) 3d cad data, which takes precedent over 2d cad data which is used as a reference only. any changes require a new quote. pricing assumes all quoted part quantities will be ordered. any change in quantities ordered by customer or buyer (hereafter referred to as customer) may affect the price. 30 day validity to quotes. prices are based on wages and cost of raw materials present at the date of quotation and, therefore, are subject to changes reflecting increased costs on written notice. all quotations are subject to change or withdrawal by quicksilver - mfg (hereafter referred to interchangeably as either “quicksilver”, or “seller”). at any time prior to final acceptance of buyer’s order, as herein provided. due to market fluctuations of raw material, seller reserves the right to adjust pricing to accommodate increased costs .
due to the experimental nature of prototyping and product design, the customer agrees not to withold payment, or hold quicksilver responsible for the failure of designs to perform. customers are responsible for ensuring that the properties and performance of the material meet the part requirements. when the customer submits conflicting 2d control drawings and 3d solid cad files, the 3d solid cad data takes precedence. general tolerances for cnc machined orders are + / - 0. 005″ for plastic parts, and + / - 0. 002″ for metal parts. tolerances are not guaranteed .
