limited to replacing, repairing or issuing credit, at its option, for any products that are returned by the original
purchaser during the warranty period. Aerotech makes no warranty that its products are fit for the use or
purpose to which they may be put by the buyer, whether or not such use or purpose has been disclosed to
Aerotech in specifications or drawings previously or subsequently provided, or whether or not Aerotech’s
products are specifically designed and/or manufactured for buyer’s use or purpose. Aerotech’s liability on
any claim for loss or damage arising out of the sale, resale, or use of any of its products shall in no event

Returned Product Warranty Determination

After Aerotech's examination, warranty or out-of-warranty status will be determined. If upon Aerotech's
examination a warranted defect exists, then the product(s) will be repaired at no charge and shipped,
prepaid, back to the buyer. If the buyer desires an expedited method of return, the product(s) will be shipped
collect. Warranty repairs do not extend the original warranty period.

Fixed Fee Repairs

- Products having fixed-fee pricing will require a valid purchase order or credit card

particulars before any service work can begin.

All Other Repairs

- After Aerotech's evaluation, the buyer shall be notified of the repair cost. At such

time the buyer must issue a valid purchase order to cover the cost of the repair and freight, or authorize
the product(s) to be shipped back as is, at the buyer's expense. Failure to obtain a purchase order
number or approval within thirty (30) days of notification will result in the product(s) being returned as is,
at the buyer's expense.

Repair work is warranted for ninety (90) days from date of shipment. Replacement components are
warranted for one year from date of shipment.
