  • CLAIMS.

Should Buyer fail to notify the Company within the prescribed time, all replacement materials shall be at Buyer's expense. Defective or improper materials will be replaced or the purchase price paid by Buyer will be refunded upon the materials’ return, but the Company shall not be liable for dismantling, installing or reinstalling. Regardless of the nature of any claims, the Company's liability shall be limited to purchase price paid by Buyer to the Company, and the Company shall not be liable for any claims for any incidental or consequential or punitive damages, or any other expenses, losses, or damages, directly or indirectly arising from the sale, remanufacture, handling or use of the goods or from any other cause relating thereto, whether founded in contract or in tort. The remedies to Buyer under these Terms and Conditions are exclusive.

  • COURSE OF PERFORMANCE: The Company’s decision to accept or acquiesce in a course of performance shall not impact the terms herein, though the Company knows the nature of the performance and has an opportunity to object to it. In no event shall any such action constitute or be deemed a waiver of any right, claim or defense against Buyer.
  • WAIVER: The waiver or failure of any party to exercise any rights pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or other limitation of any right or future right.
