1.2 Not a Master Purchase Agreement. Company acknowledges that this is NOT a master purchase agreement for subsequent purchases of Products, but rather, this Agreement only applies to each instant purchase/license of Products by Company.

1.3 Procurement Under This Agreement. Company may secure Products under this Agreement by one of three methods:
a. Procurement Through a Reseller. Typically, Company will secure a Quote for Products from a Reseller of Trend Micro Products. Based on such Quote, Orders by Company will be sent to the Reseller at such prices, discounts, and on invoice and payment terms as agreed solely by Company and its Reseller. Company understands that if an Order is placed with a Reseller, the Reseller can place an order with Trend Micro for Products (either directly through Trend Micro or through a Trend Micro distributor) as requested by Company, but such Order is and will be subject to acceptance or rejection by Trend Micro at its discretion. Based on documents submitted by the Reseller, Trend Micro will reject or accept the Order, which acceptance is signified by Trend Micro’s issuance of its License Certificate. Except for the matters agreed in the first sentence of this paragraph between the Reseller and Company, all other rights, obligations, terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions regarding Products that are Ordered by Company are exclusively set forth in this Agreement. All payments by Company for Products will be made directly to the Reseller and never to Trend Micro. Company acknowledges that each Reseller is an independent contractor and in no event or circumstance will any Reseller now or hereafter be deemed a joint venturer, partner, fiduciary, or agent of Trend Micro and NO Reseller has been or will be authorized or permitted to have a right to create any binding obligation, responsibility, duty, liability, warranty, guaranty, or any otherwise contract for or act on behalf of Trend Micro or waive or renounce any right of Trend Micro or modify any right, obligation, or agreement of Company set forth in this Agreement.
b. Direct Purchase from Trend Micro. Company may (if permitted by Trend Micro) secure a Quote directly from, and place an Order directly with, Trend Micro based on such Quote, which Order if accepted by Trend Micro will be governed solely by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions set forth in this Agreement (including the License Certificate). All prices and payment terms will be as set forth in the Quote and all payments for Products will be made by Company directly to Trend Micro.
c. Procurement on a Store. Company may purchase a right to access and use (in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) certain Products sold on and hosted by an Online Store Provider. In each such instance, Product is sold by such Online Store Provider at prices determined by Trend Micro on payment terms determined by the Online Store Provider, but such Products will be subject to and governed by this Agreement with such other requirements as such Online Store Provider may impose in connection with Company’s use of its Store and its services.
