No agent intermediary distributor wholesaler dealer representative or any other person shall have the authority to vary these Terms and Conditions without the prior agreement in writing of a Director of The Company. In the absence of a specific agreement to the contrary in writing by a Director of The Company, these Terms and Conditions shall override and exclude any other terms stipulated or incorporated or referred to by The Customer.
