In the event this Purchase Order requires delivery at different times or places, and any such delivery is not made by Seller’s committed date/time as specified, Illes may cancel such delivery while retaining the remainder of the Purchase Order in full force and effect, or may cancel that entire Purchase Order. Seller acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to Seller’s obligations under this Purchase Order.

3. Acceptance

3.1 The Products may be inspected and tested by Illes at any time (including after the date such Products are delivered) or place, at Illes’s sole option.
