All shipments are F.O.B. Seller’s warehouse. The Seller may increase or decrease its prices for the Goods if the Buyer changes the quantity of Goods purchased or shipped hereunder.

In such case, in addition to any other remedies contained herein or provided by law, Seller has the right to demand cash payment or satisfactory security from Buyer prior to shipment of any Goods.
