Acceptance by Seller is made on these terms and conditions, which constitute the final, complete, and exclusive agreement between Buyer and Seller, except these terms and conditions shall not apply to the U.S. General Services Administration. No change in these terms and conditions shall be valid unless assented to in writing signed by the Seller. These terms and conditions may in some instances conflict with some of the terms and conditions specified by the Buyer. Therefore, acceptance of Buyer’s order is made only on the express understanding and condition that insofar as the terms and conditions of this acceptance conflict with any terms and conditions of Buyer’s order, or with any other communication from Buyer, the terms and conditions of this acceptance shall govern, irrespective of whether Buyer accepts these conditions by a written acknowledgment, by implication, or by acceptance and payment for goods ordered hereunder. Seller’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from Buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this acceptance. No addition to, deletion from or modification of any of the provisions of these terms and conditions of sale shall be binding upon Seller unless acknowledged and accepted by Seller in writing and signed by an officer of Seller. Any change made by Seller will be deemed accepted by Buyer unless within ten (10) days from notice of such change Buyer notifies Seller in writing of Buyer’s exception to such change.

PRICES – Seller’s prices shall be those in effect when Buyer’s order is accepted by Seller. Seller’s prices do not include applicable taxes. In addition to such prices, Buyer will pay all present and future foreign, federal, state, and local taxes, including sales, use, delivery, port, property, excise, and similar taxes applicable to the sale, purchase, transportation, delivery, or use of the products, unless the buyer is classified as a tax exempt institution.

If in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, the financial condition of Buyer at any time does not justify continuance of shipment on the terms of payment originally specified, or in the event Buyer makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding is brought by or against Buyer under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws, Seller may require full or partial payment in advance or may cancel its acceptance of any order then outstanding.

CANCELLATION OF ORDER – Cancellation requests for standard products must be received by the Seller within three (3) days of the date on the order acknowledgement or prior to the date the products ship, whichever occurs first.
