A quotation by Seller does not constitute an offer and Seller reserves the right to
withdraw or revise any quotation prior to time of its acceptance of Buyer’s purchase
order.
An Order constitutes an offer by Buyer to purchase the Products in accordance with
these Terms. The contract shall be formed at the time when Buyer’s Order is confirmed

Orders can be placed with our Sales Office by completing a Purchase Order Form and

These Terms apply to the purchase of Products to the exclusion of any other terms that
