No work will commence in connection with the ITEMS covered by this agreement until a firm written purchase order is placed by Buyer and accepted by Seller.

In the event of a default by Buyer, Seller may decline to make further shipments without waiving any of its rights under such order. If, despite such default, Seller elects to continue to make shipment, its action shall not constitute a waiver regarding or otherwise diminish Seller’s legal remedies with respect to such default or any future default.
