Company shall not be bound by any terms and conditions set forth in Vendor’s invoice, acknowledgment, proposal or other pre-printed forms. Company may revoke, amend or modify the P.O., including these Terms, at any time prior to Vendor’s acceptance.

If Vendor willingly does not participate in the defense of such claim, Vendor will be bound in any subsequent action between Company and Vendor as to any determination of fact common to the two litigations.
10. MISCELLANEOUS. Except for any other agreement relating to the subject matter of this P.O. which has been signed by both Company and Vendor, this writing is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and is intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement. These Terms apply only in the case of no other signed written agreement between the parties governing the Goods under this P.O. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of the trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any term used in this P.O. Acceptance or acquiescence in a course of performance rendered under this P.O. shall not be relevant to determine the meaning of this P.O., even though the accepting or acquiescing party has knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection. Whenever a term defined by the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in Delaware, is used in this P.O., the definition contained in the Uniform Commercial Code is to control. Company and Vendor shall have all rights and remedies afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Delaware. This P.O. can be modified or rescinded only by a writing signed by both Company and Vendor. No claim or right arising out of a breach of this P.O. can be discharged in whole or in part by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless the waiver or renunciation is supported by consideration and is in writing signed by the aggrieved party. Waiver by either Vendor or Company of a breach by the other of any provision of this P.O. shall not be deemed a waiver of future compliance therewith, and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No right or interest in this P.O. shall be assigned by either Company or Vendor without the written permission of the other party, and no delegation of any obligation owed, or of the performance of any obligation, by either Company or Vendor shall be made without the written permission of the other party. A change in control of the Vendor prior to completion of this P.O. shall constitute an impermissible delegation, which will make this P.O. voidable at the option of Company. This P.O. shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the laws of Delaware, and any action, suit or other legal proceeding which either party may commence to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this P.O. shall be commenced only in the state or federal courts located in the state in which Goods or Services are received by Company, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such court with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding.
