The accompanying invoice (the “Invoice”) and these Terms comprise the entire agreement between the parties , and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. Fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms if Buyer shall fail to make written objection to Seller within five (5) days after receipt by Buyer of these Terms, and in any event, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms upon Buyer’s acceptance or use of the Product. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is an executed written agreement in effect between Buyer and Seller covering the transaction(s) specified herein, the terms of such executed written agreement shall govern.

PAYMENT TERMS: Unless otherwise set forth on the invoice, Buyer shall pay all invoice amounts to Seller no later than thirty (30) days after the date of shipment.

In such a case, Seller may renounce further performance hereunder without penalty, upon notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall remain liable to pay for any Product already shipped. Such action by Seller shall not constitute a change of payment terms hereunder.

DELIVERIES: Any delivery times or dates quoted by Seller shall be approximate. Delivery of Product or of any installment of such Product, within (30) thirty days after the date specified therefor shall constitute a timely delivery. Seller may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Product to Buyer.

If Buyer has not furnished delivery instructions in a timely manner, or, if no time is specified, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Seller therefor, Seller may ship to Buyer at its address herein set forth and invoice the Product as supplied, or Seller may treat the agreement as being in default.
