This agreement was attached to a e-mail that contained a P.O. no mention of any agreement, prior or during this e-mail just that the P.O. was attached.
AT first glance one would have thought that the P.O. had been sent in two formats, ( agreement was a different format) Had I not had problems getting the P.O. to print out for my Records, and had I not tried to send it to my ITT person. (which removed it when I forwarded it.) and he had to come to the office to get it to print I would have never known the agreement was attached.
be extremely careful on dealing with large companies. Always have your attorney look at all contracts and agreements. The way this agreement was set up and written one would have be bound by the agreement . I had to remove the beer companies name.. but here is what hung up a nice order. They could have placed a order and half way called cancelled the order after the first shipment then they could have taken my pattern and design and started having it made off shore cheaper and I would have lost all my rights.
