8. INSTALLMENT CONTRACT
If the Buyer authorizes or requires delivery of goods in separate lots, the Buyer may reject a non-conforming delivery which substantially impairs the value of that installment and which cannot be cured by the Seller. If the Seller gives adequate assurance of cure, the Buyer must accept that installment. The Buyer shall not cancel this contract in whole, or in part, where the non-conformity does not impair the value of the whole contract, non-conforming installments are accepted, or when performance of future installments is demanded.

9. TERMINATION
Any order, once accepted by Seller, shall not be subject to termination except on terms that protect Seller against loss. Termination for the convenience of the U.S. Government shall be handled in accordance with the procedures established and covered by the Armed Services Procurement Regulation, Section VIII, in effect at the time of termination. If the order is terminated for any reason, Seller shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages.
