Rule 5. Deliveries. The acceptance of shipment by a railroad or other common carrier shall constitute a delivery.

Shipment made within two weeks after specified state of delivery shall constitute good delivery.

Where deliveries are specified to be made in or during several calendar months, each month's deliveries shall constitute a separate contract, and any installment of merchandise or part thereof delivered shall be paid for in accordance with the terms of this contract, regardless of claims by either party relating to any other delivered or undelivered merchandise.

Where agreed delivery dates cover several months, without stating specific quantity for each month, the delivery shall be deemed good only if made in substantially equal parts for each month specified.

Rule 6. Time Limit on Claims. Goods shall not be returned or allowance made after ten days from date of receipt by customer, nor after having been cut or otherwise changed from original condition, except for defects not ascertainable at the time of delivery.

Rule 7. Price Readjustment. Discounts or rebates shall not be made or contract price readjusted except for causes as per these rules.

Rule 8. Replacement. Any goods rejected for proper cause must be replaced by seller and replacement accepted by buyer, except as hereinafter provided. Replacement must be made within 15 days after rejection has been agreed to by seller, or the right of the buyer to reject has been established by arbitration, if so ordered by the arbitrators; but where for any reason it is impossible for the seller to replace goods except at great difficulty or expense, the matter shall be determined by adjustment or arbitration in accordance with the rules of The Silk Association of America.

Rule 9. Warranties or Modifications. No warranties or modifications of contract shall be binding on either party unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged.

Rule 11. Assortments. Where a contract covers the sale of goods, in which colorings, designs and assortments are not determined at time of sale, seller will submit colorings and designs for acceptance from which buyer agrees to furnish assortments or make selection, but failure of buyer to assort within a specified time will not release buyer from his contract.

Crown v. Chiariello, 106 Misc. 511, 175 N. Y. Supp. 167.

Rule 12. Deferred Deliveries. All goods in hands of seller either finished or in the gray at contract date of delivery and delivery of which is delayed by fault of buyer by reason of failure to furnish assortments, refusal to accept, or otherwise, may be billed at contract price and held at risk of buyer for delivery upon his order.

Rule 13. Adjustment and Arbitration. Disputes between seller and buyer arising from contracts based on these rules, shall be submitted to the Bureau of Adjustments and Complaints of The Silk Association of America. If an adjustment cannot thus be effected the matter must then be submitted to an Arbitration Committee composed of three members, one to be nominated by the buyer, one by the seller and these two shall select a third. One of the arbitrators must be an official arbitrator of The Silk Association of America and the arbitration shall be in accordance with the rules of such Association. The award shall be final and binding upon both parties.
