These terms and conditions shall govern over any different or conflicting terms and conditions in anything submitted by the Customer to NOVA (including, without limitation, the Customer’s purchase order). Failure to specifically dissent to these terms and conditions within a reasonable time of Customer's acceptance of any goods or services (collectively, “Products”) covered by this Agreement shall constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions, which shall be controlling in every case.
Unless stated to the contrary on the face hereof, all Products furnished hereunder will be shipped F.O.B. point of shipment and title in the right of possession to such Products shall pass to the Customer upon NOVA’s delivery of the Products to carrier at point of shipment.

NOVA will not be responsible for delays or non-performance directly or indirectly caused by governmental regulations or requirements, acts of God, unavailability of materials, work stoppages, slow-downs, boycotts, and other causes (whether or not similar in nature to any of the foregoing) beyond NOVA's reasonable control. NOVA disclaims any liability for damages of delays in delivery or non-delivery of Products ordered caused in whole or in part by shortages or unavailability of energy and/or materials or supplies unless other arrangements in writing have been made with NOVA covering the Products ordered.
NOVA's extensive line of Products requires close coordination of the Customer's requirements with NOVA's production schedules to avoid possible delays in shipment. Accordingly, NOVA reserves the right to ship approximately forty days in advance of shipping date.
