If these Terms are deemed an acceptance of a prior offer by Customer, such acceptance is limited to the express terms contained in these Terms. Customer's acceptance of this offer is limited to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this offer. CSA hereby objects to and rejects any additional, different or varying terms proposed by Customer. Such proposal of additional, different or varying terms by Customer will not operate as a rejection of CSA's offer, and CSA's offer will be deemed accepted without such additional, different or varying terms. Customer's assent to these terms and conditions shall be presumed from Customer's receipt of CSA's acknowledgment, or from Customer's acceptance of all or any part of the products ordered. CSA reserves the right to accept or reject any order. THESE TERMS CONSTITUTE THE FINAL EXPRESSION OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CSA AND CUSTOMER REGARDING THE PRODUCTS AND IS A COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THAT AGREEMENT.

Claims for shortages or other errors must be made in writing to CSA within 10 days after CSA's delivery. Failure to give such notice will constitute unqualified acceptance and a waiver of all such claims by Customer.

The provisions stated herein are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and confer no rights, benefits or claims upon any person or entity not a party hereto.
The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition will not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse any subsequent non-performance of any such term or condition by the other party. All transactions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, excluding its conflict of law rules, and to the extent allowed under these terms and conditions, both CSA and Customer agree that venue shall be proper either in the state or federal courts located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

We will accept changes requested by the customer, as long as they are, within the scope of operational efficiency, not unreasonable for us. We will inform the customer within 14 days after receipt of the change request in text or written form whether
If we do not respond to the request for change within 14 days of receipt, the request for change shall be deemed rejected.
3. We observe the recognised test methods and the applicable statutory regulations in the performance of our services. If legal or other regulations change after conclusion of the contract, new regulations are introduced or result for us, for example from subsequently submitted, changed or new manufacturer documentation, factory standards or risk assessments, new or changed requirements that affect the contractual performance, and if the customer has informed us of this in good time, we will take these requirements into account if possible.

The right to refuse the chosen type of subsequent performance under the conditions set down by statutory law shall not be affected hereby.
2.3. We may undertake any such subsequent performance dependent on the Customer having paid the purchase price due for payment. The Customer may, however, withhold payment of a reasonable part of the purchase price in proportion to the defect.

an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on our part, or
