Seller's failure to object to provisions in any communication from Customer (including, without limitation, penalty clauses of any kind), shall not be a waiver of Seller's Terms, nor an acceptance by Seller of any such provisions. Any terms in Customer's document of acceptance which are different from or additional to Seller's Terms are hereby rejected unless specifically accepted by Seller in a separate document signed by both Customer and Seller, regardless of whether such other terms would materially alter the terms hereof. No course of dealing, custom or usage, which is contrary to Seller's Terms shall apply. C.
