Any proposed terms in Seller’s acceptance of Buyer’s offer which add to, vary from, or conflict with these terms are hereby objected to. Any proposed terms shall be void and these terms shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of the contract between the parties and may hereafter be modified only by written instrument executed by the authorized representatives of both parties. If the purchase order has been issued by Buyer in response to an offer, and if any of these terms are additional to or different from any terms of such offer, then the issuance of the purchase order by Buyer shall constitute an acceptance of such offer, subject to the express conditions that the Seller assents to such additional and different terms herein and acknowledges that the purchase order constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller.

Delivery of goods must include a packing slip itemizing the contents, order number on all packages, commercial invoice (if applicable) and any other requested documentation.

Prior to delivery, Seller shall inspect and/or test goods for compliance with the specifications and the purchase order. Quantity variances are not permissible between the original order quantity and the actual quantity received. If an over shipment is received without prior approval, Buyer has the right to reject the quantity in excess of the original order quantity. Expedited Shipments.

Seller shall box, crate or package as necessary for shipment without charge unless otherwise specified on the purchase order.
