Battle of the forms and how to avoid it

let’s say the buyer vary the terms presented by the supplier in anyway (for instance by stipulating that the transaction will be covered by buyer’s own standard terms of business) this is going to be interpreted as a counter offer. This will in effect create what is known as battle of forms.

The battle of the forms involves a series of forms such as orders, delivery notes, etc., issued in sequence by purchaser and supplier, each containing terms that appear to override those on the previous document

The question then becomes whose terms of business will end up governing the contract?
