prepared. It the Seller considers that it needs to adjust the quoted price in light of circumstances which it considers have affected the cost of the Goods, the

Seller may adjust the quoted price and such adjustment will be binding on the Purchaser.

Credit Notes

25. If the Seller issues a Credit Note to the Purchaser (whether on request by the Purchaser, by its own volition or otherwise), the Purchaser agrees that the issue
