In any event, this Order may be accepted only in accordance with the terms. Any acceptance which is qualified or which contains any different or additional terms shall constitute an acceptance but such qualification or different or additional terms shall be of no force or effect.

Except as specified herein, Seller shall procure material, fabricate, and ship products or perform services only in accordance with written authorization furnished by Buyer on this Order or under Purchase Order Amendments hereto. Buyer may, from time to time, change shipping instructions and schedules provided herein or contained in such written authorizations, or direct temporary suspension of scheduled shipments.
5. All products shall be shipped by Seller via transportation designated by carrier instruction communications that may be furnished to Seller by Buyer from time to time.
