are the only terms and conditions that govern the purchase of the Equipment by the Customer from MHIAA. These Conditions of Sale
are varied or excluded only where such variation or exclusion is in writing and signed by a State Manager or Senior manager of MHIAA
and either is expressed to be a variation of these Conditions of Sale or is so inconsistent with them as to allow no other interpretation
than that they have been intentionally varied.
Where the customer has agreed to purchase Equipment from MHIAA upon the basis of these Conditions of Sale, these Conditions of
Sale shall be incorporated into every subsequent agreement for purchase of Equipment (including all purchases of consumables by the
Customer for use with the Equipment in so far as applicable) by the Customer from MHIAA unless specifcally varied or excluded in the
manner prescribed by clause 1.1.

order placed by the Customer with MHIAA constitutes only an offer to purchase Equipment. Notwithstanding any prior communication
between MHIAA and the Customer, there shall be no obligation by MHIAA to accept an offer to purchase Equipment made by a
Customer. The Customer’s order may be accepted either by issue to the Customer of a Confrmation of Order or by delivery of the
Equipment.

reason of the Customer’s fault of preparedness or other reason outside the control of MHIAA and the time for payment by MHIAA to

time deem delivery to have occurred for the purposes of payment form the Customer in accordance with the Agreement.
