All quotes, sales and shipments are subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and may be referred to as the Contract between us and the buyer for the purchase and sale of products and services.

The Contract represents the entire agreement between you and Setareh Biotech LLC regarding the products and services we provide to you under it, and supersedes any previous agreements between us (whether written or oral). Any of your additional or different terms and conditions that you may provide to us, are material alternations and we do not accept them.

2. Changes to Terms

Orders may be changed or amended only by written agreement signed by both parties, setting forth the particular changes to be made and the effect, if any, of such changes on the price and time of delivery. You may not cancel this order unless such cancellation is expressly agreed to in writing by Setareh Biotech.

In the event that we need to make a delivery in installments, all such installments will be separately invoiced and paid for when due per invoice, without regard to subsequent deliveries.
