  1. Sole Agreement and Acceptance. The terms and conditions set forth herein contain the sole, entire and exclusive agreement between the Seller and the Buyer in this transaction and supersede all prior discussions, proposals, negotiations, representations, and agreements; except as expressly provided herein any additional or conflicting terms, whether or not material, shall not, in any manner, by implication, by waiver, or otherwise, govern the relationship between Seller and Buyer.
