The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (“Goodyear”) establishes the Smart Fleet Program
(“Program”) to allow individual fleets and their divisions and/or subsidiaries (“Customer”)
another avenue to purchase Goodyear branded products (“Products”) and services (“Service”).
Products purchased through the Program shall be installed on equipment that is directly
owned or controlled by Customer and its divisions and/or subsidiaries. Products
purchased by the Customer shall not be resold. A Customer shall not be composed
of independent entities or individuals (i.e., buying groups) whose purpose for association
is to make purchases. Customer understands that any deviation from the above could
be grounds for immediate termination of the Program.
2. DELIVERY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Since delivery of Products is made directly by the Authorized Goodyear Dealer (“Dealer”)
who accepts the order of the Customer, Goodyear shall not be liable for any loss
suffered or costs incurred by the Customer resulting, directly or indirectly, from
failure or delay in shipment. Goodyear shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide inventory to the Dealer in adequate amount to fill the order of Customer.
Goodyear shall not be liable for any losses or costs incurred by Customer resulting,
directly or indirectly, from failure or delay in shipment of Goodyear products.
3. PURCHASE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Purchases under the Program must be made via a valid credit card. No separate credit
limits will be extended by Goodyear to the Customer for purchases under the Program.
Customer has the obligation to ensure sufficient funds are available in the credit
card account used for purchases. Prices for Products and Services under the Program
shall be those Goodyear has put in effect at time of purchase. If Customer claims
an exemption from any federal, state or local tax or environmental fee imposed on
the sale or use of products sold under this agreement, an exemption certificate
for the tax or fee must be on file with Goodyear prior to any purchases. Failure
to have the exemption certificate on file at the time of sale releases Goodyear
from any obligation to refund the tax or to support Customer in seeking a refund.
Should Goodyear agree to refund the tax or support Customer in seeking a refund
on sales prior to Goodyear having the exemption certificate on file, Goodyear may
impose a 25% service charge to cover its administrative costs. Customer’s failure
to make payment in accordance with the terms of any invoice will constitute a material
breach of the Program. In the event Customer is delinquent in payment, Goodyear
shall have the right, without limitation on any other remedy otherwise available
to it, to refuse shipment of any further Goodyear products to Customer and/or to
declare the entire sum of Customer’s indebtedness immediately due and payable. In
addition to any right of setoff or recoupment provided by law, Goodyear shall have
the right to apply any amounts owed by Goodyear (or any person or entity affiliated
with Goodyear) to Customer (or any person or entity affiliated with Customer) in
reduction of any amounts due Goodyear.
Tires purchases under the Goodyear Smart Fleet Program after-hours (other than 8:00AM
- 5:00PM in your local time zone) are limited to two tires or retreads. Goodyear
Smart Fleet pricing for tires, retreads and services apply for after-hour transactions.
Additional charges (time and gas) associated with the completion of the after hours
service call will be added, according to each Goodyear authorized dealer’s discretion.
Any transaction of more than two tires is not governed by the Goodyear Smart Fleet
program and constitutes an independent transaction between the fleet and the dealer.
Products sold to Smart Fleet Customer are subject to Goodyear’s applicable standard
Limited Warranty. All Product returns will be governed by this Warranty.
6.FINANCIAL AND OPERATING INFORMATION
If Customer wishes to avail itself of the Program for its divisions and/or subsidiaries,
Customer agrees to accept billing directly and provide a list of such divisions
and/or subsidiaries to Goodyear at the time of its application to the Program and
thereafter in the event of any additions or deletions. Customer will be invoiced
and shall be responsible for all such purchases on behalf of its subsidiaries and
divisions, unless Goodyear determines in its absolute discretion to extend credit
to such entities.
As a condition of the Program, Customer agrees to:
- Provide prompt notice in writing to Goodyear of any substantial change in the ownership
or management of Customer and its subsidiaries and/or divisions.
- Provide at the time of application a list of locations that may order products and
thereafter send to Goodyear Customer Service Department annually or as significant
changes occur.

within 60 days of change.
7. CONSTRUCTION, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION OF PROGRAM
Program shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of the State
of Ohio without regard to any conflict of laws provision. Either Party may terminate
the Program at any time for any reason by notifying the other Party in writing.
However, Customer shall accept and pay for all Goodyear products delivered or invoiced
to Customer before Goodyear receives or issues a written notice of termination.
The Program, as it may be revised by Goodyear from time to time at its sole discretion,
shall apply to any purchases made by the Customer pursuant to the Program or any
published revision in effect at the time of the purchase, all of which cumulatively
constitute the complete agreement of Goodyear Customer. Any attempt by Customer
to vary in any way from the Program is expressly rejected by Goodyear. The terms
and conditions contained in the Program only shall control. The specifications for
tires and/or the prices of tires and services charged therefore, as offered under
the Program are subject to change at any time at Goodyear’s sole discretion.
To be eligible to make any purchases under the Program, Customer must present a
valid credit card and a Program membership card at the time of the Purchase.
