These terms and conditions apply to sellers engaging with Pfizer Australia Pty Limited ('Buyer') who are not a party to a current contract with Buyer.
1. Acceptance and conflict of terms
The terms of this Purchase Order ('Order') constitutes an offer to purchase. Seller's commencement of work, shipment of the described goods, performance of the described services, or issuance of a sales acknowledgement shall be deemed an acceptance of this Order.

No terms stated by Seller in accepting this Order shall be binding upon Buyer if inconsistent with or in addition to the terms stated herein unless accepted in writing by Buyer, and Buyer hereby objects to and rejects any such additional or different terms proposed by Seller. If this Order is deemed to be an acceptance of an offer by Seller, such acceptance is limited to the express terms of this Order and is made conditional on Seller's assent to any additional or different terms in this Order. If, however, a written contract is already in existence between Buyer and Seller covering the purchase of the goods, work, or services covered hereby, the terms and conditions of said contract shall prevail to the extent that the same may be inconsistent with the terms and conditions hereof.
