Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, Fluent agrees to design and to sell to Dealer such quantities of Products as Dealer shall order from Fluent at the prices and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. However, Fluent reserves the right to refuse to make available to sell to Dealer its Products should Dealer fail to pay Fluent according to the terms set forth herein, fail to meet any other terms of this Agreement, or for any other reasonable basis.

2.2. Orders.

a) All orders for Products shall be made by Dealer's written purchase orders, signed by a duly authorized employee of the Dealer and sent to Fluent and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Fluent's then-current Customer Terms (as described below) and invoice which are incorporated herein by reference. By placing each order hereunder, Dealer confirms its agreement with and acceptance of all such terms and conditions. In the event of any discrepancy between the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and any additional or different terms or conditions contained in any purchase order or other communication from Dealer, the provisions contained in this Agreement and/or in Fluent's then current Customer Terms and invoice shall prevail and any such additional or different terms or conditions shall be void and of no effect. No order for any Products shall be binding on Fluent unless accepted in writing by a duly authorized employee of Fluent.

b) Fluent’s Customer Terms and Conditions.

2.7. Retention of Title. Notwithstanding Section 2.4 hereof, title to the goods shall remain with Fluent until receipt of the full payment of the purchase price from the Dealer.

Fluent may reclaim any goods delivered to Dealer or in transit if Dealer shall fail to make payments when due. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state(s) in which Dealer is organized and operates, for the purposes of securing payment by Dealer to Fluent under this Agreement, Dealer hereby grants to Fluent a security interest in the “Dealer Collateral”, defined below.
