Any different or additional terms of any related purchase order or confirmation even if signed by the parties after the date hereof shall have no force or effect. The waiver of one breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

10.3  GraphGrid also makes available certain third party open source software as identified at https://graphgrid.com/third-party-software/ (“Third Party Software”).
