Upon disapproval of the Accounting Department or upon the occurrence of any such event, Seller may delay performance or, at its option, renegotiate prices, terms, and conditions of sale with Buyer. If Seller elects to renegotiate and Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on revised prices or terms, Seller may cancel without any liability. Seller may hold any order or shipment for any account, which is not current and paying within standard payment terms.
