Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of a loan or purchase of Equipment to Customer there is in effect a customer master agreement (such as a distributor agreement, purchasing agreement or equipment loan agreement) between ivWatch and Customer, any of these terms and conditions which are inconsistent with the provisions of such agreement shall be ineffective and the terms of the customer master agreement shall control.
