(1)

 

General:

 The seller warrants to the immediate purchaser or end user for a period of  

10 years from the date of shipment that the equipment delivered will be of the kind and 
quality specified in the contract description and will be free of defects of workmanship and 
material. Should any failure to conform to this warranty appear under proper and normal 
use within 10 years after the date of shipment, the seller agrees, upon prompt notification 
thereof and confirmation that the equipment has been stored, installed, operated, inspected, 
and maintained in accordance with the recommendations of the seller and standard industry 
practice, to correct the nonconformity either by repairing any damaged or defective parts 
of the equipment or (at the seller’s option) by shipment of necessary replacement parts. The 
seller’s warranty does not apply to any equipment that has been disassembled, repaired, or 
altered by anyone other than the seller. This limited warranty is granted only to the immedi-
ate purchaser or, if the equipment is purchased by a third party for installation in third-party 
equipment, the end user of the equipment. The seller’s duty to perform under any warranty 
may be delayed, at the seller’s sole option, until the seller has been paid in full for all goods 
purchased by the immediate purchaser. No such delay shall extend the warranty period.

Replacement parts provided by the seller or repairs performed by the seller under the 

warranty for the original equipment will be covered by the above special warranty provi-
sion for its duration. Replacement parts purchased separately will be covered by the above 
special warranty provision.
