(b) The variation or waiver of a provision of these terms or a party’s consent to a departure from a provision by another party is ineffective unless agreed to by the parties.

Where an Order is cancelled, the Customer indemnifies the Supplier against any Losses incurred by the Supplier as a result of the cancellation, including, but not limited to loss of profit from other orders foregone as a result of the scheduling of the Order which is subsequently cancelled. This clause shall not merge on completion.
