8. Final Acceptant.

Customer’s express acceptance of the equipment, or Customer’s possession, use or beneficial use of the equipment for more than 30 days after delivery shall constitute final acceptance and, except as provided in Seller’s warranty below, shall waive all Customer claims of nonconformity of the equipment.

9. Warranty.

Seller warrants that its equipment is transferred rightfully and with good title, that it is free from any lawful security interest or other lien or encumbrance unknown to Customer; and that for a period of one year from the date of installation or fifteen months from the date of original shipment, whichever period expires first, such equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship which arise under proper and normal use and service. Some individual products include extended warranties as stated in brochure(s) and extended warranties may be purchased as requested and quoted. Customer’s exclusive remedy is limited to Seller’s Correction at its plant of such defects by repair or replacement at no cost to the Customer.

The provisions of this warranty shall be applicable with respect to any equipment which
Seller repairs or replaces pursuant to it. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OTHER THAN AS IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, THERE BEING NO OTHER WARRANTIES. EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED ARE THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE ALL OF SELLER’S LIABILITY (EXCEPT AS TO PATENT INFRINGEMENT) WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INSTALLATION COSTS, LOST
REVENUE OR PROFITS, OR ANY OTHER COSTS OF ANY NATURE AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURED BY THE SELLER, WHETHER USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS OR NOT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER EXCEED THE ACTUAL SALES PRICE OF THE EQUIPMENT PROVIDED HEREUNDER. No representative is authorized to assume for Seller any other liability in connection with the equipment.

11. Patent Infringement Assurance.

Seller shall, at its own expense, settle or defend any claim, suit or action which may be brought against Customer for infringement of patents arising out of Customer’s use of Seller’s equipment, and Seller shall pay any final judgment for damages and costs which may be awarded against Customer, upon the condition that Customer shall have given Seller prompt notice of any such claim, suit or action, together with affording Seller complete control of the conduct of such settlement or defense, and shall have provided Seller, at Seller’s request and expense, with all available information regarding such claim, suit or action. Seller may, at its own expense, elect to either procure for Customer the right to continue using the allegedly infringing equipment, or replace it with non‐infringing equipment, or modify it so that it becomes non‐infringing equipment, or remove it and repay the purchase price applicable thereto, as well as transportation costs. This paragraph shall not apply to infringement arising out of features of construction incorporated in the equipment at the request of Customer or from the use of the equipment for purposes and uses other than as advertised, sold or intended by Seller. In no
event shall Seller’s total liability to Customer under the provisions of this article exceed the aggregate sum paid to Seller by Customer for the allegedly infringing equipment. The foregoing states the entire warranty by Seller for patent infringement by the equipment or any part of it.

Purchaser may inspect the Goods and/or witness testing at the place of manufacture or at such other place as Seller, in its sole discretion, shall designate, and Purchaser’s consequent approval or rejection of the Goods must be made prior to shipment. Purchaser’s failure to inspect will constitute acceptance. Where Purchaser has inspected the Goods prior to shipment, Purchaser shall have no right whatsoever to inspect, reject or revoke its acceptance of the Goods after shipment. Purchaser is responsible for any charges associated with witnessed testing beyond the normal level of activity for routine test activities, as defined on the Contract, Purchase Order, or Order.

18. Returns/Cancellations.

Orders which are canceled prior to shipment, if standard products, are subject to a minimum 20% restocking charge for those items already in production or in finished goods inventory awaiting shipment to Purchaser. Orders which are canceled prior to shipment, if those items are “special” or “custom” items designed or modified to the Purchaser’s specifications, are essentially non‐cancelable for that portion in production or in finished goods inventory awaiting shipment to the Purchaser, and are subject to full recovery costs and profit or an agreed payment in accordance with a termination liability payment schedule. Orders that are canceled after shipment to Purchaser, whether standard or special, remain the property of the Purchaser and subject to payment in full.

The warranty will also commence at this time. Seller will insure against risk of loss until physical shipment of the goods to a common carrier.

20. Change Orders.

Customer change orders must be in writing and no change shall be made pursuant to this clause unless agreed to in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of Seller and Customer.

Seller shall have no obligation to commence any extra or changed work without written agreement as to adjustments to contract price and delivery schedules affected thereby.

21. Termination.
