These terms and conditions exclude any other terms and conditions inconsistent therewith which Buyer might seek to impose even though such other terms and conditions may purport to exclude or supersede any terms and conditions inconsistent with them.

2. Delivery
WTP shall not maintain an inventory of the Parts and, unless prior arrangements have been made between the parties, WITP shall make delivery to Buyer, at Buyer’s risk and expense, by a carrier of WITP’s choosing (unless Buyer shall specify an alternate carrier reasonably acceptable to WITP), at the address specified in this Contract as soon as reasonably practicable after release by WITP’s quality control department. When prior arrangements have been made between the parties for specific delivery dates, any delivery made within ten (10) days after the dates specified shall constitute a good delivery. Title to such Parts shall not pass until they have been fully paid for by Buyer.
