1. Controlling Provisions
Generally: This document including the provisions on the face hereof, (the “Contract”) constitutes an offer by TECH GLOBAL, INC., an Illinois corporation (“Seller”) to provide the products and/or services described herein (the “Products”) to the buyer to which this offer is addressed (“Buyer”). If this document is deemed an acceptance of a prior offer by Buyer, such acceptance is limited to the express terms contained herein. Buyer’s acceptance of this offer is limited to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this offer. Seller hereby objects to and rejects any additional, different or varying terms proposed by Buyer, unless Seller expressly assents to such terms in writing. Such proposal of additional, different or varying terms by Buyer shall not operate as a rejection of Seller’s offer unless such variances are in the terms of the description, quantity, price or place or date of delivery of the Products, and Seller’s offer shall be deemed accepted without such additional, different or varying terms. No performance by Seller under any purchase order shall be deemed an acceptance of any conflicting provisions of a purchase order form submitted by Buyer. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade shall be relevant or admissible to supplement, explain or vary any of these terms. Seller’s agreement to provide the Products is expressly limited to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, notwithstanding any language in Buyer’s purchase order, if one exists, or other writing or oral representation. This Contract, including all items expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the final expression of the terms between Seller and Buyer regarding the Products and is a complete and exclusive statement of those terms.
Seller’s sales representatives are without authority to change, modify or alter the terms of this Contract.
