ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS OR CONDITIONS IN ANY FORM DELIVERED BY YOU (“CUSTOMER”) ARE HEREBY DEEMED TO BE MATERIAL ALTERATIONS AND NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO THEM AND REJECTION OF THEM IS HEREBY GIVEN.
BY ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS OR BY ENGAGING THE MIZAR IMAGING, LLC ASSOCIATE IDENTIFIED ON THE INVOICE, OR OTHER MIZAR IMAGING, LLC DOCUMENTATION TO PROVIDE PRODUCT, CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY AND ACCEPTS THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNLESS CUSTOMER AND MIZAR IMAGING, LLC (“SELLER”) HAVE SIGNED A SEPARATE AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE THE SEPARATE AGREEMENT WILL GOVERN.

Important Information About These Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions constitute a binding contract between Customer and Seller and are referred to herein as either “Terms and Conditions” or this “Agreement”. Customer accepts these Terms and Conditions by making a purchase from or placing an order with Seller or shopping on Seller’s Website (the “Site”) or otherwise requesting products (the “Products”) as this and all capitalized terms are defined herein.
Customer may issue a purchase order for administrative purposes only. Additional or different terms and conditions contained in any such purchase order will be null and void. No course of prior dealings between the parties and no usage of trade will be relevant to determine the meaning of these Terms and Conditions or any purchase order or invoice. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters contained herein and supersedes and replaces in its entirety any and all prior communications and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral, written, electronic or implied, if any, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Acknowledgement
Seller acknowledges that it has been advised that (a) laboratories of Customer primarily are located at academic and other non-profit research institutions (“Host Institutions”) and are staffed by its employees and employees and students of Host Institutions, all of whom may have access to the products purchased or licensed hereunder (including software contained therein); (b) Customer routinely permits laboratory staff from members of Host Institution laboratories to use for their research products that are purchased or licensed by Customer, and Customer often donates products that it purchases or licenses to Host Institutions; (c) Customer and Host Institution labs routinely collaborate on scientific research with other non-profit and industry (for-profit) scientists, and Customer and Host Institution laboratories routinely conduct sponsored research with for-profit institutions, and any such research may involve use of the products purchased or licensed hereunder; (d) Customer may install products purchased or licensed hereunder in Host Institution labs or facilities that provide services to many users (each, a “Host Core Facility”), where such products may be used for the benefit of Customer laboratories, Host Institution laboratories, other non-profit research or educational laboratories or for-profit institutions; and (e) a Host Institution may assume responsibility for using, operating and/or maintaining the products purchased or licensed hereunder, and such Host Institution may charge back its costs associated with using such products to laboratories. Accordingly, Seller agrees that nothing in this agreement (or any separate license agreement governing the software contained in the products purchased or licensed hereunder, including, without limitation, any license agreement or “click-through” agreement that Customer is required to “accept” when installing, accessing or otherwise using the software contained in such products) shall preclude Customer from using products sold or licensed hereunder by Seller in a manner that is consistent with the description above, and, specifically, that Customer may make products available for use in research by third parties, whether or not such individuals are staffing Customer laboratories or performing Customer research.
