2.2 The Products sold and/or services rendered are subject to these Terms and Conditions to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions stipulated or referred to by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that it is aware of the contents of and agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Neither Pivot Cycles’ acknowledgement of a purchase order nor its failure to object to conflicting, different, or additional terms and conditions in a purchase order will be deemed an acceptance of such terms and conditions or a waiver of the provisions.

2.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a written agreement signed by both parties is in existence covering the sale of the Products covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said agreement shall prevail to the extent they are inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions.

6.3 Any dates provided by Pivot Cycles for the delivery of the Products are estimates only and will not form part of the Contract. Actual delivery date will be affected by factors such as clearance of payment, Customer’s location, and availability of parts for the Products.
