Our accompanying order, invoice, quotation, or other sales confirmation document (the “Sales Confirmation”) and these Terms comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and/or communications. If your PO is expressly conditional upon our adherence to your terms and conditions, then these Terms shall operate as a counteroffer, expressly conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms. Your acceptance of any Goods provided hereunder shall constitute your acceptance of these Terms, in which you thereafter relinquish and/or waive any right to limit acceptance or objection to these Terms under the Uniform Commercial Code.

4. INSPECTION; REJECTION OF NON-CONFORMING GOODS: You shall have five (5) business days after delivery of the Goods (the “Inspection Period”), to inspect and either accept or reject them.
