Any such Agreement or Purchase Order shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and governed by these Terms and Conditions of Sale. Seller’s or Buyer’s failure to object to any provision contained in any communication from Seller or Buyer shall not be construed as a waiver or modification of these Terms and Conditions of Sale or as an acceptance of any such provision.

Retention by Buyer of any Products delivered by Seller, or payment by Buyer of any invoice rendered hereunder shall be conclusively deemed acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
