8. 

FORCE MAJEURE.   Seller shall not be responsible for delays or failures in 

performance and shall have no liability to Buyer resulting from causes beyond its 
reasonable control.  Causes beyond Seller's reasonable control include but shall not be 
limited to acts of God, epidemics, earthquakes, unusually severe weather, floods or other 
natural disasters, war, riot, fire, accident, explosion, strikes or other labor trouble, 
government acts or omissions, delay or default by subcontractors or suppliers of materials 
or services, transportation difficulty or shortages in labor, fuel, materials, supplies or 
power at current prices (the "Force Major Event").If Seller is unable because of a Force 
Major event to supply the total quantity of goods specified in Buyer's order, Seller may 
allocate its available supply among any or all of its buyers on such basis as Seller may 
deem commercially fair and practical, without liability for any failure of performance 
which may result therefrom. 

 

9. 

PACKING, STORAGE AND SPECIAL SERVICES   Prices do not include 

storage, packing or cartage service.  Storage for any reason, including a Force Major 
Event, shall be at Buyer's risk and expense. 

10. 

CHANGES.   Buyer may make a written request for changes in drawings, 

designs or specifications for the goods, but acceptance of any requested change shall be at 
Seller's sole discretion, must be in writing and shall be upon such terms and conditions as 
Seller may require.  If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or in 
the time required for performance, an equitable adjustment shall be made and the contract 
modified accordingly.

after delivery ((tthhee  ""W

Peerriioodd""))  against failure caused by defects in material or in 

workmanship.  

BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF 

THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED AT SELLER'S OPTION TO REPAIR OR 
REPLACEMENT, WITHOUT COST TO THE BUYER, OF DEFECTIVE 
GOODS, OR IF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE, THE 
REPAYMENT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE UPON THEIR RETURN.

  It shall be 

the duty and responsibility of the Buyer to inspect and test the goods to determine their 
suitability for their end use application or purpose.  Buyer will notify Seller of any goods 
which do not conform to this warranty within 10 (ten) days after an alleged defect is first 
discovered or by reasonable inspection should have been discovered and, if Buyer should 
fail to give such notification, claims for breach of warranty, if any, shall be waived.  
Goods may be returned at the expense of Seller only after inspection by Seller and upon 
receipt by the Buyer of definite shipping instructions from Seller.  R
