TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALES

AGREEMENT

The contract of sale resulting from documentation hereto together with these terms and conditions ("Contract") constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, except as modified in writing signed by both the Seller and Purchaser. The Seller is PCore Electric Company and the Purchaser is identified in the Contract.

Execution of such forms by Seller to accommodate Purchaser's procedures or to evidence agreed upon change orders shall not be construed as assent to Purchaser's terms. Acceptance of the goods shipped shall constitute assent to Seller's conditions of sale. This Contract shall be binding upon Purchaser and Seller, and on their successors and assigns.
