If Buyer has completed a credit application, the terms and conditions of that credit application are incorporated herein.

Orders: Seller agrees to review any order confirmations for accuracy, including without limitation the contents and scheduling of recurring shipments. Receipt of an order confirmation does not signify Seller’s acceptance of an order, nor does it constitute confirmation of an offer to sell. Seller reserves the right at any time after receipt of an order to accept or decline or cancel the order (in whole or in part) for any reason. Seller may also require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. An order is not accepted until it is shipped and Buyer’s account will not be charged until shipment has been made. If you require a firm delivery schedule, please contact your sales representative to discuss a supply agreement.

Buyer’s exclusive remedy and Seller’s exclusive liability for delivery of nonconforming goods or services or for breach of warranty is expressly limited to, at Seller’s option, (i) replacement of the nonconforming goods or services or (ii) refund of the purchase price to the extent already paid. All nonconforming goods must be returned to Seller or, at Seller’s direction, disposed of by Buyer in a manner acceptable to Buyer and Seller.
