1. Acceptance: Vendor's promise of shipment or shipment of the Goods or Vendor's promise of performance or undertaking of performance of the Services, as applicable, shall constitute Vendor's agreement that it will deliver the Goods and/or the Services, in accordance with the Purchase Order and at the price mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Vendor. Vendor agrees to follow the shipping and invoicing instructions issued by Buyer, which instructions are incorporated by reference into the Purchase Order. Acceptance is limited to the terms and conditions hereof and any different or additional terms and conditions, whether or not in Vendor's acknowledgement or in other documents, are hereby rejected and shall be of no force or effect.

Buyer's expenses for inspection of the Goods found to be nonconforming shall be charged to Vendor or deducted from amounts due Vendor.

Regardless of its actions, Buyer will retain all of its rights against Vendor as to such nonconformities and/or deficiencies.
3. TITLE, RISK OF LOSS, FREIGHT, INSURANCE AND ROUTING RATES: Unless otherwise provided to the contrary in writing by Buyer in the Purchase Order, Vendor warrants that for both domestic and international shipments of Goods title shall pass clear, unrestricted, and unencumbered and risk of loss for the Goods shall pass to Buyer upon Buyer's receipt and acceptance of the Goods, subject to paragraph 2(a), at the place specifically designated by Buyer or, if not so designated, at Buyer's facility.

(b) In the event that Buyer terminates the Purchase Order in whole or in part, as provided in paragraph 7(a), Buyer may procure replacements for the Goods or the Services from other sources upon such terms and in such manner as Buyer may consider appropriate.
