WARRANTY STATEMENT:

Scope and

tion and test procedures and instruments.

Duration of Warranties

Seller warrants to Buyer that the Standard EMCO Brand Products

Excluding 5211 & 5220 be (1) free from defects in material, manufacturing
workmanship, and title, and (2) conform to the Seller’s applicable product
descriptions and specifications, if any, contained in or attached to Seller’s
quotation. If no product descriptions or specifications are contained in or
attached to the quotation, Seller’s applicable product descriptions and
specifications in effect on the date of shipment shall apply. The criteria for
all testing shall be Seller’s applicable product specifications utilizing
factory-specified calibra

All product warranties, except the warranty of title, and all remedies for
warranty failures are limited in time as shown in the table below.

Product Warranted

Duration of Warranty Period

Standard EMCO Brand Products Excluding 5211 & 5220

2 Years

Any product or part furnished to Buyer during the warranty period to

correct a warranty failure shall be warranted to the extent of the unexpired
term of the warranty applicable to the repaired or replaced product.

The warranty period shall commence on the date the product is delivered to
Buyer; however, if Seller assembles the product, or provides technical
direction of such assembly, the warranty period for such product shall
commence on the date the assembly of the product is complete.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the assembly is delayed for
a total of thirty (30) days or more from the date of delivery for any reason
or reasons for which Seller is not responsible, the warranty period for such
product may, at Seller’s options, commence on the thirtieth (30th) day from
the date such product is delivered to Buyer. Buyer shall promptly inspect
all products upon delivery. No claims for shortages will be allowed unless
shortages are reported to Seller in writing within ten (10) days after
delivery. No other claims against Seller will be allowed unless asserted in
writing within thirty (30) days after delivery (or assembly if the products
are to be assembled by Seller) or, in the case of alleged breach of warranty,
within the applicable warranty period.
