By placing an Order, accepting delivery, or paying an invoice, the customer ("Customer", "you", or "your") acknowledges and agrees to be bound by this Policy, in addition to any applicable terms and conditions of sale, invoice terms, credit application terms, and any other written agreement between the parties.
