from the date of shipment.  Pumps are warrantied for 90 days.  CET’s sole

any component which fails during the applicable warranty period because of 
defect in workmanship or material.  No other liabilities shall be assumed by the 
manufacturer or its agents, nor are they expressed or implied.

 

This warranty is contingent upon proper use of the Spill Buddy by the Customer 
in accordance with CET’s published specifications.  This warranty shall not be 
valid if the alleged defect is the result of abuse, misuse, accident, alteration, 
neglect, unauthorized repair, or acts of nature.  Any repair shall be deemed 
unauthorized unless it is made by CET or with the written consent of CET.  This
