10. LIMITED WARRANTY Seller warrants the goods sold hereunder to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service not arising from misuse, negligence, or accident, including but not limited to the use, installation, or transportation of the goods by the Buyer, its agents servants, employees, or by carriers. Wearparts are excluded from any warranties. Seller’s obligations under this warranty are limited to remedying any deficiencies in the goods at Shakopee, Minnesota. This warranty shall pertain to any part or parts of any goods to which buyer or its assigns has, within 1 year from date of original factory invoice, given written notice of claimed defects to Seller. If the goods have been regularly used more than 8 hours per day, the 1-year period shall be reduced to 120 days. Buyer shall be required to furnish Seller with details of such defects and this warranty shall be effective as to such goods which Seller’s examination shall disclose to its satisfaction to have been defective and which at Seller’s opinion shall promptly thereafter be returned to Seller or its nominees, EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, SELLER HAS MADE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE GOODS SOLD HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THEIR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANY DESCRIPTION OR MODEL OF THE GOODS IS FOR IDENTIFICATION OR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CREATE AN EXPRESS WARRANTY. THE REMEDIES OF THE BUYER SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE. In no event shall the Seller be liable to the Buyer or to any other person for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising out of or caused by the use or operation of the goods, or for loss of profits, business, or good will, or for any incidental, special or consequential damages. Seller shall in no event be liable to any person or firm (including any assignee of Buyer) except Buyer and its successors. Unless specifically authorized by Seller in writing, Seller shall not become responsible for any repair work done by Buyer or any other party on any goods sold. Any costs of the return of such goods to Seller shall be borne by Buyer. Goods sold but not manufactured by the Seller are being warranted as to defects in material and workmanship consistent with the limited warranty policy of the original manufacturer of the goods and if there is not such a limited warranty policy, the warranty shall be limited to the provisions of the preceding paragraph of Article 10 herein. Standards for the operating characteristics of the Company’s products are in conformity with Seller’s tests.
11. SHORTAGE AND NONCONFORMITY Any claim of shortage or that the goods do not conform with the specifications of the order or model must be made in writing within ten (10) days after delivery of the goods (as to which such claim is made) to Buyer or its nominees, but in no event shall the claim be later than the time limit provided by the carrier or insurance company, otherwise, such claim will be deemed waived. The samples, measurements, dimensions and weights contained in the Seller’s catalogs, sales manuals, photographs and drawings constitute only an approximate guide. The Seller reserves the right to make any changes, which the Seller, in its absolute discretion considers necessary. While the goods will be delivered principally according to specifications or standards or quantities agreed upon, insignificant deviations or insignificant changes in construction are permissible. The same applies to partial deliveries. In the event that Buyer has verified claim of shortage or of nonconformity of the goods to the specifications of the order or the model, and if such claim has been submitted within the required time limit as set forth above, the Seller shall, at its own expense, make up for the shortage of the goods, or replace or repair the goods, as the case may be, but in no event shall Seller be or become liable to Buyer or to any other person or persons of any loss or damage, direct or indirect, arising out of or caused by such incidents or for the loss of profits, business or good will. Shipping dates are estimates.

13. WAIVER OF BREACH No waiver by the Company of any breach of these provisions shall constitute a waiver of any other breach.
14. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES The Company shall not be liable to the customer of others claiming through the customer for special or consequential charges for any reason whatsoever.

16. GENERAL Any terms and conditions of a customer’s order which are inconsistent with or additional to the terms and conditions hereof shall not be binding on the Company and shall be considered unapplicable to any sale or shipment of the Company’s products. All such terms and conditions are hereby expressly rejected.
