No modification or deletion of any provision hereof or any additions hereto shall be binding on Seller unless agreed to in writing by a duly authorized representative of Seller.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or prevent Seller from selling the same or similar products and/or services to the Products to any third-party and this Agreement does not create an exclusive arrangement between the parties.
