Approved returns must be shipped freight prepaid and arrive in good condition to qualify for credit or replacement. Except in the case of any products found to be nonconforming, buyer must make payment of the purchase price within the time allotted for payment even if buyer has not completed its inspection of the products, but such payment shall not constitute acceptance of the products or impair buyer's rights or remedies it may have hereunder for nonconforming products.
