This warranty does not cover travel expenses, the cost of specialized equipment for gaining access to the product, or labor charges for removal and reinstallation of the product. This warranty shall be ineffective and shall not apply to goods that have been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident, damage, improper maintenance, or to goods altered or repaired by anyone other than Seller or its authorized representative, or if five years have elapsed from the date of shipment of the goods by Seller with the following exceptions: Lamps and strobe tubes are not covered under this warranty. No agent, employee, representative or distributor of Seller has any authority to bind the Seller to any representation, affirmation, or warranty concerning the goods and any such representation, affirmation or warranty shall not be deemed to have become a part of the basics of the sales contract and shall be unenforceable. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE AND OF ANY OTHER TYPE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. These warranties shall not apply unless Seller shall be given reasonable opportunity to investigate all claims for allegedly defective goods. Upon Seller’s instruction a sample only of allegedly defective goods shall be returned to Seller for its inspection and approval.

REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY - In the event Seller is claimed to have breached any of its obligations under the sales contract, whether of warranty or otherwise, Seller may repair any defective goods, request the return of the goods and tender, at Seller’s option, a replacement shipment of goods or the purchase price therefore paid to Seller. Seller shall tender a refund of the purchase price at its option only upon actual receipt of the goods by Seller. If Seller so requests the return of the goods, the goods will be returned to Seller, transportation prepaid, in accordance with Seller’s instructions. The remedies contained in this and the preceding paragraph constitute the sole recourse against Seller for breach of any of Seller’s obligations under the sales contract, whether of warranty or otherwise. In no event shall Seller be liable for consequential damages nor shall Seller’s liability on any claim for any direct, incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of or connected with the sales contract or the manufacture, sale, delivery, or use of the goods exceed the purchase price of the goods.

PATENTS - Seller shall hold Buyer harmless, to the extent herein provided, against any rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement of any United States Letters Patent by such goods as are of Seller’s own manufacture, but if Buyer furnished specifications to Seller, Buyer shall hold Seller harmless against any such infringement claims which arise out of compliance with such specifications. Seller’s agreement in this paragraph to hold Buyer harmless shall not apply to any infringement consisting of the use of goods manufactured by Seller as part of any combination with goods manufactured by Buyer or others. In the event that any goods manufactured by Seller are in any suit held to constitute infringement and their use is enjoined. Seller, if unable within a reasonable time to secure for Buyer the right to continue using such goods, either by suspension of the injunction, by securing for Buyer a license, or otherwise, shall, at its own expense, either replace such goods with non-infringing goods or modify such goods so that they become non-infring-ing, or accept the return of the enjoined goods and refund the purchase price therefore paid by Buyer less allowance for any period of actual use thereof. Except as in this paragraph provided, Seller makes no warranty that the goods will be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement of the like and buyer’s remedies will be limited to those provided in this paragraph.


ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION - No right or interest in this sales contract shall be assigned by Buyer without Seller’s prior written consent, and no delegation of any obligation owed, or the performance of any obligation, by Buyer shall be made without Seller’s prior written consent. Any attempted as-signment or delegation shall be void and totally ineffective for all purposes unless made in conformity with this paragraph. Not withstanding the foregoing, if Buyer is an authorized distributor of the goods for Seller, then Seller’s obligations under the WARRANTY, REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY and PATENTS sections hereof, subject to all limitations of this sales contract, shall be extended to the original purchaser of the goods from Buyer.
