With respect to orders contemplating a series of shipments of merchandise by C-ASTRAL to Customer, unless Customer notifies C-ASTRAL in writing within thirty (30) days of the initial shipment of any nonconformity with any applicable specifications, then Customer shall be deemed to have waived such nonconformity with respect to subsequent shipments involving the same specifications.
