This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior written and oral communications, as well as the terms set forth in any other document, including without limitation any purchase order, check or form issued by CUSTOMER. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties. A waiver by either party of its rights hereunder shall not be binding unless contained in a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of the party waiving its rights.
