Comdel Warranty  

 

Seller fully warrants that equipment, service, software, repair or parts supplied shall conform to the description in 

the quotation and agrees to repair or replace F.O.B. shipping point, any parts (excepting expendable items such as 
semiconductors and vacuum devices), services, or repairs that fail due to defects in material or workmanship within 

(1) one year of start-up of equipment or (24) twenty four months after shipment, whichever occurs first, or in the 

case of service or repair, within (1) one year of rendering service or repair.  At Buyers request, failure analysis will 

be provided for all in-warranty failures returned by Buyer to Comdel Gloucester.  Liability of Seller under this 
warranty shall exist provided that: Buyer exposes the product to normal use and service; in case of shipping 

damage, Buyer notifies Seller within 30 days of receipt of goods; the Buyer receives a Return Materials 

Authorization (RMA) number from Seller prior to the return of product for repair; if upon examination of such 

product by Seller it is disclosed that a defect in materials and/or workmanship does exist, and the defect in the 
product was not caused by improper conditions, misuse, abuse or negligence; and that Sellers warranty decals 

have not been removed or tampered with and the equipment has not been repaired or modified by anyone other 

than Seller’s authorized personnel. Other than those expressly stated herein, there are no other warranties of 

any kind, expressed or implied, and specifically excluded, but not by way of limitation, are the implied 
warranties of fitness for particular purpose and merchantability.
 

 

It is understood and agreed that Seller’s liability, whether in contract, in tort, under any warranty, in 

negligence or otherwise shall not exceed and Buyer’s remedy is limited to either (i) repair or replacement of 
the defective parts F.O.B. shipping points, correction of the defective service or repair, or at Seller’s option 

(ii) return of the product and refund of the purchase or service price.  Under no circumstances shall Seller 

be liable for special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.  The price stated for the equipment, 

service, repair or parts is a consideration in limiting Seller’s liability.  No action, regardless of form, arising 
out of the transactions of this agreement may be brought by Purchaser more than one year after the cause 

of action has accrued.  The warranty for the equipment, service, repair or parts proposed in this quotation is 

as stated in the above paragraphs.  It is not re-stated nor does it appear in any other form.
