Together with the Terms, the Order constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the purchase of Products listed on the Order by Echodyne from Seller, subject to Section 2.

  1. Acceptance of the Terms. Seller accepts this Order and any amendments by signing the
    acceptance copy of the Order and returning it to Echodyne promptly. Even without such written acknowledgment, Seller’s full or partial performance under this Order will constitute acceptance of these Terms. By acceptance of this Order or full or partial performance (whichever is earlier), Seller agrees to be bound by, and to comply with the Terms and the Order, which includes any supplements to it, and all specifications and other documents referred to in this Order. These Terms apply to all Products listed in this Order and constitute Echodyne’s offer to Seller, which Echodyne may revoke at any time prior to Seller’s acceptance. This Order is not an acceptance by Echodyne of any offer to sell, any quotation, or any proposal. Reference in this Order to any offer to sell, quotation, or proposal will not constitute a modification of any of these Terms. Terms and conditions different from or in addition to these Terms, whether contained in any acknowledgment of this Order, or with delivery of any Products under this Order, or otherwise, will not be binding on Echodyne (regardless of whether they would materially alter this Order), and Echodyne hereby explicitly rejects them. These Terms may be modified only by a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of Echodyne and Seller.

  2. Relationship to Other Agreements. If the parties executed an agreement, such as a master supply agreement, which applies to (i) Products ordered with these Terms, and (ii) the relationship of the parties governed by these Terms (“Agreement”), then the provisions of such Agreement are incorporated herein.

If any of the Products are found at any time to be defective in material or workmanship, or otherwise not in conformity with the requirements of this Order, including any applicable drawings, specifications, or instructions, then Echodyne, in addition to such other rights and remedies it may have by contract or by law or equity, at its sole discretion may reject and return such Products at Seller’s expense, require Seller to inspect the Products and remove nonconforming Products and/or require Seller to replace nonconforming Products with conforming Products.
