(b) The sales confirmation (the Sales Confirmation", the Supply Agreement and these Terms (collectively, this Agreement") comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. These Terms prevail over any of Purchaser’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Purchaser has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Purchaser’s order does not constitute acceptance of any of Purchaser’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these Terms.

Purchaser shall be responsible for all loading costs. The Goods will be delivered within a reasonable time after the receipt of Purchaser’s purchase order, subject to availability. Save-A-Lot shall not be liable for any delays, loss, or damage in transit. Save-A-Lot may, in its sole discretion, without liability or penalty, make partial shipments of Goods to Purchaser.
