LIMITED WARRANTY Seller warrants to the initial purchaser only of products manufactured by it that such products
are free from defects in materials or labor for varying periods depending on the particular product and subject to
the limitations and conditions set forth herein. Seller’s stainless steel products are warranted to be free from such
defects for their normal useful life. Seller’s mechanical and electrical products, parts, devices and components

shall advise Buyer whether it plans to repair or replace the product. Seller’s obligation is solely limited to repair or
replacement of a defective product and in no event shall Seller be liable for transportation from or to Seller’s offices
or any other expense which may arise in connection with this Limited Warranty or the aforementioned Product
Satisfaction policy.
