1. Offer and Acceptance:  By submitting an order to TI through TI.com, You offer to buy and/or take delivery of TI.com Items in accordance with these Terms. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation from TI is for informational purposes only and does not constitute TI's acceptance of Your order or confirmation of an offer to sell a TI.com Item. TI's acceptance of Your offer is expressly made subject to these Terms. Acceptance takes place only when TI either (i) sends confirmation that the TI.com Item has shipped or (ii) sends an express confirmation of acceptance. Such acceptance shall only relate to those TI.com Items whose shipment have been confirmed or that TI has identified in an express confirmation of acceptance. Prior to acceptance, TI has the right to reject any order for any reason in its sole discretion. TI hereby objects to and rejects any different, conflicting or additional terms proposed by You that may appear on any communication or document such as a purchase order or other writing not expressly incorporated herein.

Despite TI's efforts, a small number of TI.com Items may be mispriced and/or Additional Fees may be miscalculated. If (i) the correct price of a TI.com Item is higher than the price stated on TI.com at the time You place Your order or such TI.com Item is not immediately available for shipment or (ii) the correct Additional Fees are higher than the Additional Fees stated on TI.com at the time You place Your order, TI may, at its discretion, either contact You for instructions before shipping Your order or reject and cancel Your order and notify You of such rejection and cancellation.

If Buyer is required by law to withhold any amount of tax from its Payment to TI, Buyer will take all reasonable steps to minimize such withholding tax, provide TI with a receipt or certificate as evidence the tax has been paid, and reimburse TI for the amount of withholding so that TI receives Payment for the full value of the invoice.
