Except as expressly stated above, BARNSTEAD MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF DESIGN, MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
An authorized representative of BARNSTEAD must perform all warranty inspections. In the event of a defect cov-
ered by BARNSTEAD’s warranty, BARNSTEAD shall, as its sole obligation and exclusive remedy, provide free
replacement parts to remedy the defective product. In addition, for products sold by BARNSTEAD within the conti-
nental United States or Canada, BARNSTEAD shall provide provide free labor to repair the products with the
replacement parts, but only for a period of ninety (90) days from the Commencement Date.
BARNSTEAD’s warranty provided hereunder shall be null and void and without further force or effect if there is any
(i) repair made to the product by a party other than BARNSTEAD or its duly authorized service representative, (ii)
misuse (including use inconsistent with written operating instructions for the product), mishandling, contamination,
overheating, modification or alteration of the product by any customer or third party or (iii) use of replacement parts
that are obtained from a party who is not an authorized dealer of BARNSTEAD.
Heating elements, because of their susceptibility to overheating and contamination, must be returned to the BARN-
STEAD factory and if, upon inspection, it is concluded that failure is due to factors other than excessive high tem-
perature or contamination, BARNSTEAD will provide warranty replacement. As a condition to the return of any
product, or any constituent part thereof, to BARNSTEAD’s factory, it shall be sent prepaid and a prior written autho-
rization from BARNSTEAD assigning a Return Materials Number to the product or part shall be obtained.
IN NO EVENT SHALL BARNSTEAD BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCI-
DENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE OR
