Such proposal of additional, different or varying terms by Buyer will not operate as a rejection of Company's offer, and Company's offer will be deemed accepted without such additional, different or varying terms. This Contract constitutes the final expression of the terms between Company and Buyer regarding the Products and is the complete statement of those terms. Any terms, conditions, negotiations or understandings not contained in this Contract will have no force or effect unless made in writing and signed by Company and Buyer.
