Seller’s standard tolerances for variations. All items made by the Seller are inspected before shipment, and should
any of said items prove defective due to faults in manufacture or performance under Seller approved applications,
or fail to meet the written specifications accepted by the Seller, they will be replaced or repaired by Seller at no
charge to Buyer provided return or notice of rejection of such material is made within a reasonable period but in no
event longer than three (3) years for non-calibration defects and one (1) year for calibration defects from date of ship-
ment to Buyer, and provided further, that an examination by Seller discloses to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction that
the defect is covered by this warranty and that the Buyer has not returned the equipment in a damaged condition
due to Buyer’s or Buyer’s employees’, agents’, or representatives’ negligence and Buyer has not tampered, modified,
redesigned, misapplied, abused, or misused the goods as to cause the goods to fail. In addition, this warranty shall
not cover damage caused by Buyer’s exposure of the goods to corrosive or abrasive environments. Moreover, Seller
shall in no event be responsible for (1) the cost or repair of any work done by Buyer on material furnished hereunder
(unless specifically authorized in writing in each instance by Seller), (2) the cost or repair of any modifications added
by a Distributor or a third party, (3) any consequential or incidental damages, losses, or expenses in connection with
or by reason of the use of or inability to use goods purchased for any purpose, and Seller’s liability shall be specifi-
cally limited to free replacement, or refund of the purchase price, at Seller’s option, provided return or rejection of the
goods is made consistent with this paragraph, and the Seller shall in no event be liable for transportation, installation,
adjustment, loss of good will or profits, or other expenses which may arise in connection with such returned goods,
or (4) the design of products or their suitability for the purpose for which they are intended or used. Should the Buyer
receive defective goods as defined by this paragraph, the Buyer shall notify the Seller immediately, stating full par-
ticulars in support of his claim, and should the Seller agree to a return of the goods, the Buyer shall follow Seller’s
packaging and transportation directions explicitly. In no case are the goods to be returned without first obtaining a
return authorization from the Seller. Any repair or replacement shall be at Seller’s factory, unless otherwise directed,
and shall be returned to Seller transportation prepaid by Buyer. If the returned goods shall prove defective under this
clause they will be replaced or repaired by Seller at no charge to Buyer provided the return or rejection of such mate-
rial is made within a reasonable period, but in no event longer than (1) year from the date of shipment of the returned
goods or the unexpired terms of the original warranty period whichever is later. If the goods prove to be defective
under this paragraph, the Buyer shall remove the goods immediately from the process and prepare the goods for
shipment to Seller. Continued use or operation of defective goods is not warranted by Seller and damage occurring
due to continued use or operation shall be for Buyer’s account. Any description of the goods contained in this offer
