"Confirmation to the contrary" sounds really strange to me. Does anyone know an elegant and English-sounding translation of this GTC provision?
Many thanks in advance!

Discussion
Counter confirmation doesn't have "native hits" either.
I would just paraphrase: We expressly object to confirmations under reservation of the Client’s own terms and conditions.
Confirmation to the contrary by the customer with reference to his/her/its own general terms and conditions or terms and conditions of sale is expressly rejected.
The co. is in Taiwan, but I see nothing wrong with "Confirmation to the contrary." Lots of ghits.
