Seller acknowledges and agrees that these terms and conditions are incorporated in, and are a part of, each purchase order, release, requisition, work order, shipping instruction, specification and other document, whether expressed in written form, by electronic data interchange or other tangible format, relating to the Goods (defined below) to be provided by Seller to Buyer (such documents are collectively referred to as this “Purchase Order”), and that Buyer’s acceptance of Seller’s offer to purchase Goods is made conditional upon the incorporation of these terms and conditions into this Purchase Order. Seller’s shipment of goods, products or other materials hereunder (collectively, “Goods”) shall be determined an effective mode of acceptance of all Purchase Orders of Buyer. In no event shall any of the terms and conditions contained in Seller’s acceptance, whether by acknowledgement or otherwise, become a part of this Purchase Order or become binding upon Buyer. Seller’s terms and conditions, to the extent they vary from any of the terms and conditions of this Purchase Order are hereby objected to and rejected. Such proposals shall not operate as a rejection of this Purchase Order unless such variances are in the terms of the description, quantity, price or delivery schedule of the Goods.
  3. Price. Goods shipped against this Purchase Order must not be invoiced at a higher price than shown on the face of this Purchase Order without Buyer’s prior written consent. If, during the term of this Purchase Order, Seller’s net price is reduced below those stipulated, Seller agrees to provide to Buyer the benefit of such reduction, and will notify Buyer on all such changes in price. All invoices must reference the applicable Purchase Order number and must be submitted in duplicate. Buyer reserves the right to return all incorrect invoices.

Seller shall promptly replace or correct defects of any Goods not conforming to the foregoing warranties, without expense to Buyer, when notified of such non-conformity by Buyer, provided Buyer elects to provide Seller with the opportunity to do so. In the event of failure of Seller to promptly correct defects in, or replace non-conforming Goods, Buyer may make such corrections or replace such Goods and charge Seller for the costs incurred in doing so after reasonable notice to Seller.
