The Customer waives any right it might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any document that is inconsistent with these Terms of Sale.

2.2 Each Order contains all the terms agreed by Customer and Minicam in relation to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements whether oral, in writing or arising from a course of dealing.
