Seller reserves the right to hold shipment of telephone or oral orders until written confirmation has been received from Buyer. Buyer assumes full responsibility for inaccurate or incomplete data supplied on special orders.

2) Prices

All prices are subject to change without notice at any time and are based in part on the applicability of Sales Agreement set forth herein.

Prices for any Avestin Product, including shipping charges, if applicable, are outlined on a quotation prepared by the Seller. If Buyer should delay shipment beyond original contact date, the prices charged will be those in effect at the time the shipment is made. Seller reserves the right to cancel Buyer’s order in the event that (a) any government price regulation, schedule or ceiling prescribes a price lower than Seller’s price as established in the order acknowledgement or in any way prevents Seller from purchasing or otherwise acquiring any commodity or service necessary to the performance of the order, or in any way prevents Seller from adjusting its prices when the cost of any such commodity or service is increased, and (b), in the event any major change in economic conditions renders Seller’s performance unprofitable.
