Pfizer Inc’s (“Pfizer”) acceptance of the order placed by the Purchaser for the material or item described in Purchaser’s order (“Product”) is expressly contingent upon Purchaser’s agreement to the conditions set forth in these General Sales Conditions.

In the event, however, of a conflict between these General Sales Conditions and any special conditions or terms set out in a supply agreement or purchase agreement executed by Pfizer and Purchaser, then such special conditions or terms will prevail.
