Neither party has relied upon such other agreements or communications. Notwithstanding any purchase order accepted by OT, any purchase order terms which purport to amend or modify terms of the License Documents, or which conflict with the License Documents are void and shall have no legal effect notwithstanding the fact the purchase order terms being later in time or OT issuing an invoice to Licensee after receiving such purchase order from Licensee.
