on parts and labor, under the following conditions
and exceptions:
Seller warrants
that
all goods of Seller’s manufacture will conform to any descriptions
thereof for specifications which are expressly made a part of this
sales contract and at the time of sale by Seller such goods shall be
commercially free from defects in material or workmanship. 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

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. Seller shall not be liable for failure
to perform its obligations under the sales contract resulting directly
or indirectly from or contributed to by acts of God; acts of Buyer;
civil or military authority; priorities; fires; war; riot; delays in
transportation; lack of inability to obtain raw materials, components,
labor, fuel or supplies; or other circumstances beyond Seller’s
reasonable control, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.
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.
