SELLER’S SOLE OBLIGATION, AND BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, UNDER THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR

This warranty does not cover failures caused by improper installation, abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper or lack of maintenance, negli-

gence, accident, normal deterioration including normal wear and tear, use of improper parts or improper repair.  This warranty does not cover 

any Goods or part thereof that is worn out or altered, used for a purpose other than that which it was intended, or used in a manner inconsistent 

with any instructions regarding its use.  This warranty does not cover any Goods or part thereof which has been repaired, modified or altered in 

such a way as to, in the Seller’s sole judgment, have affected its usefulness or viability.  This warranty does not include costs for removal, trans-

portation, or re-installation of the Goods.  This warranty does not cover damage caused by any acts of nature such as hail, fire, earthquakes, 

floods, ultraviolet light degradation, or other factors over which Seller has no control.  No agent, employee, or representative of Seller has any 

authority to bind Seller to any affirmation, representation, or warranty concerning the Goods except as stated in this warranty.

Seller’s obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing at the place of origin any part or parts which shall within the warranty 

period be returned to the Seller, with transportation charges prepaid and which the Seller’s examination shall disclose to its sole satisfaction 

to have been defective.  Anything in Buyer’s purchase order or confirmation to the contrary notwithstanding, SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE 

FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, FOR 

ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, AND THE BUYER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM THE USE OF 

THE GOODS, WHETHER USED SINGULARLY OR IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT.  Seller neither assumes, nor authorized 

nor authorizes any person to assume for it, any other liability in connection with the sale or use of the Goods, and there are no oral agreements 

or warranties collateral or pertaining to the Goods.

EXCEPT AS HEREIN ABOVE SET FORTH, SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO 

THE GOODS, AND THE WARRANTY HEREIN ABOVE SET FORTH IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTA-

TIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF SELLER.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE 

FOREGOING, SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Any claim under the above specified warranty shall be forwarded to the Seller in writing, specifying the defect claimed, the length of service of 

the Goods involved, and, if known, the purchase order or contract number under which the Goods was procured.  The Buyer agrees to permit 

the Seller to conduct an investigation of the claimed defect at the Buyer’s facility if considered necessary by Seller. NO GOODS MAY BE RE-

TURNED WITHOUT SELLER’S PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION.
