The accompanying quote (the “Quote”) or order acknowledgement (the “Order Acknowledgement”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) 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. This Agreement supersedes any of terms and conditions submitted by Buyer regardless of whether or when Buyer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Seller expressly rejects Buyer’s terms and conditions of purchase, and fulfillment of Buyer’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Buyer’s terms and conditions or serve to modify or amend these Terms. Acceptance of the Quote or Order Acknowledgement by Buyer (which, in the case of an Order Acknowledgement, shall be deemed accepted should Buyer not object in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of the Order Acknowledgement) is a prerequisite to the purchase of the Goods and shall operate as an acceptance of these Terms, which are expressly incorporated into the Quote or Order Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written contract signed by both Parties is in existence covering the sale of the Goods (“Master Agreement”), then the Master Agreement shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with these Terms.
