- Offer and Acceptance.
This Quotation of Acknowledgement is an offer (the “Offer”) by MicroscopePrices.com (“MP”) to list for sale, for Manufacturer or Seller, the goods or services referenced in the Agreement (the “Products”) to Customer. Customer may accept this Offer orally, in writing or by performance, but Customer’s acceptance, regardless of form, shall not alter these terms and conditions (“Terms”). If customer objects to any of these Terms, Customer must set forth each objection in a separate writing signed and dated by Customer and delivered to MP prior to or at the same time as the Customer’s purchase order or other forms of acceptance. Customer’s issuance of a push case order which purports to reject some or all of these Terms by virtue of standard form language shall not be sufficient objection. Any objections to which MP does not agree in writing shall be deemed rejected and shall not become a part of the parties’ agreement. MP’s failure to object to provisions in any purchase order, or other communication from Customer (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind), shall not be a waiver of these Terms, nor an acceptance by MP of any such provisions. Any terms in Customer’s purchase order or any other document of acceptance which are different from or additional to these Terms are hereby rejected unless specifically accepted by MP in a separate document signed by both Customer and authorized MP representative, regardless of whether such other terms would materially alter these Terms. No course of dealing, customer or usage, which is contrary to these Terms shall apply. MP may correct any typographical or clerical errors in prices, specifications, quotations, or acknowledgements.
