Orders are subject to cancellation, partial cancellation or change only with the consent of the Seller and only upon such terms as the Seller may impose.  Should Buyer terminate, cancel, or stop its order, in whole or in part without Seller’s consent, such termination, cancellation, or stoppage shall constitute a breach by Buyer, for which Seller shall be entitled to all damages of Seller related to such breach, including, without limitation, the amount of Seller’s cancellation costs and damages, including expenditures on materials, labor, overhead, and payments to subcontractors, direct costs incurred by Seller in settling claims with subcontractors or suppliers, reasonable profits on the work performed including work in process on the terminated portion of the order prior to Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s termination, cancellation, or stoppage notice, which amount shall be calculated at not less than Seller’s profit margin on the entire project multiplied by the cost of the total work performed prior to Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s termination.  Prices are set on the basis of the total quantity ordered, even though shipment may be in stages.  Cancellation of a portion of an order after an earlier portion has been shipped and invoiced will result in an adjustment to the purchase price and an additional charge to the Buyer.
