DELIVERY
Seller will make every effort to complete delivery of products as indicated on Sellers acceptance of an order, but Seller assumes no responsibility or liability, and will accept no back charge, for loss or damage due to delay or inability to deliver caused by acts of God, war, labor difficulties, accident, delays of carriers, by contractors or suppliers, inability to obtain materials, shortages of fuel and energy, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever beyond the control of Seller. Seller may terminate any contract of sale of its products without liability of any nature, by written notice to Buyer in the event that the delay in delivery or performance resulting from any of the aforesaid causes shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days.

WARRANTY
Seller warrants for one year from the date of shipment Sellers manufactured products to the extent that Seller will replace those having defects in material or workmanship when used for the purpose and in the manner which Seller recommends. If Sellers examination shall disclose to its satisfaction that the product is defective, and an adjustment is required, the amount of such adjustment shall not exceed the net sales price of the defective products only and no allowance will be made for labor or expense of repairing or replacing defective product or workmanship or damage resulting from the same. No adjustment shall be implemented unless product in question is returned to seller in its originally installed condition, still connected to other components of the joint. Buyer must contact Seller as quickly as possible so Seller can assess product in its installed condition. No claims will be honored unless claim is made within forty five (45) days of the defect being found.

(except for the obligation accepted by Seller under Warranty above), contract or negligence, arising in connection with the design, manufacture, sale, use or repair of the products or of the engineering designs supplied to Buyer.
