Terms and Conditions of Sale for Products
Buyer (“Buyer”) accepts the Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”), unless Buyer has a separate purchase agreement signed by both Buyer and MicroVention, Inc. (“MicroVention”) in which case, that separate agreement will govern. MicroVention may, from time to time and at its sole option, revise this Agreement without notice by posting the revised agreement on its web site. The Agreement posted on MicroVention’s web site at the time MicroVention accepts Buyer order will govern that purchase.
