If price is not stipulated on this Order, it is not to be filled at higher prices than last previously quoted or charged without written authority of Purchaser.

No payment will be made to Seller with respect to any goods which are rejected on such inspection. Purchaser reserves the right to retain any portion of any shipment not strictly in accordance with specifications and in such case will pay to Seller a reasonable price therefor, but such retention shall not preclude Purchaser from rejecting the remainder of any or other shipments.
