An order placed by the Customer with any of the Company’s salesmen or other employees or representatives is subject to written acceptance by the Company.

2.2 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, with the exception of any agreement entered into in writing by the parties and signed by a director of the Company (a “Separate Agreement”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of a Separate Agreement and these Conditions, the terms of the Separate Agreement prevail.
