and Seller relating to the Products, and no provision may be changed or
waived unless in writing signed by the parties.  (e) Severability.  If any provision
hereof is rendered ineffective or invalid, such provision shall not invalidate any
other provision. (f) Setoff. Buyer shall have no right to set off any amounts
