A separate invoice shall be submitted for such expenses which shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereunder.

LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTY

Seller warrants all goods sold to be free from substantial defects in material and workmanship under normal use and maintenance.

Sellers sole obligation under this warranty shall be limited to, in its sole discretion, repairing, replacing or allowing credit for, any good which proves substantially defective in material or workmanship within 30 days after delivery to Buyer, provided however, that (a) notice of such substantial defect and satisfactory proof of same is promptly given by Buyer to Seller in writing, and (b) such material shall have been returned to Seller, with transportation charges prepaid, and found by Seller to have been defective.

This warranty does not apply to damage or defects in any product caused by improper construction or installation, by overloading, or misuse, neglect or accident, nor does it apply to any product which has been repaired, modified or altered in any way which, in the sole judgment of Seller, affects the performance, stability, or general purpose for which it was manufactured. Seller offers printed directions for the installation and use of certain goods, which are available free of charge upon request.

THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES (EXCEPT OF TITLE), EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

This warranty does not apply to parts, accessories, attachments, hardware, or other items not sold by Seller to Buyer which may become affixed to the goods; Buyer shall rely solely on the existing warranties, if any, of the respective manufacturers thereof. The customer is ultimately responsible for meeting the intent of the manufacturer specification.

CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS

Seller reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require payment for goods in advance, or to require Buyer to give Seller satisfactory security for Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

OVERDUE ACCOUNTS

Finance charges will be assessed against the Buyer at 2% monthly on all balances which remain unpaid 30 days after delivery.

The failure of the Buyer to reject in writing any invoice sent to it by the Seller within 30 days from invoice date shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of all items and charges as stated in the invoice.
