Any quote or proposal for additional or different terms or any attempt by Seller to vary in any degree any of the terms of this offer in Seller's acceptance or by Seller’s business forms or website is hereby objected to and rejected, but such proposals shall not operate as a rejection of this offer unless such variances are in the terms of the description, quantity, price or delivery schedule of the goods, but shall be deemed a material alteration thereof, and this offer shall be deemed accepted by Seller without said additional or different terms. If this purchase order shall be deemed an acceptance of a prior quote or offer by Seller, such acceptance is limited to the express terms contained herein.

Seller agrees to accept any such changes subject to this paragraph.

Goods rejected and goods supplied in excess of quantities called for herein may be returned to Seller at its expense and, in addition to Purchaser's other rights, Purchaser may charge Seller all expenses of unpacking, examining, repacking and reshipping such goods. In the event Purchaser receives goods whose defects or nonconformities are not apparent on examination, Purchaser reserves the right to require replacement, as well as payment of damages.

Any action resulting from any breach on the part of Purchaser as to the goods or services delivered hereunder must be commenced within one year after the cause of action has accrued.
