No terms and/or conditions from Customer, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding, or agreement alleged to modify, vary, explain, or supplement these Terms shall be binding upon Border States unless subsequently made in writing and signed by each Party.

2. ACCEPTANCE

3. QUOTATIONS AND PRICES

Quotations given by Border States to Customer are not an offer to sell but only an invitation for an order. Border States reserves the right to reject a purchase order, or portions thereof, for any reason or for no reason at all. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Border States in writing, prices shall be based upon the price in effect at the time of Border States’ shipment of each order.

Any lien rights or legal remedies for non-payment asserted by Border States shall be governed by the laws of the state where the Products were delivered. To the extent permitted by law, Customer will pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, collection agency fees, and court costs, incurred by Border States in connection with any collection action for payment of amounts due.
