Purchaser’s agreement and acceptance to these Conditions of Sale shall be deemed given unless Purchaser notifies ISE in writing of its specific objection to any provision of these Conditions of Sale within ten (10) days following receipt of these Conditions of Sale by Purchaser. ISE may deliver these Conditions of Sale to Purchaser by personal delivery, mail, electronic mail, or referral to ISE’s website.

7. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY PURCHASER
Orders accepted by ISE are not subject to changes or cancellation by Purchaser, except with ISE?fs written consent. In such cases where ISE authorizes changes or cancellation, ISE reserves the right to charge Purchaser for ISE?fs usual overhead and reasonable profit in addition to reasonable costs based upon expenses already incurred and commitments made by ISE, including, without limitation, any labor done, material purchased, and cancellation charges from ISE?fs suppliers.
