If Buyer gives Seller prompt written notice of breach of this warranty within 18 months from shipment or 1 year from installation, whichever occurs first (the “Warranty Period”), Seller shall, at its sole option and as Buyer’s sole remedy, provide replacement parts to the Buyer or repair (Buyer to provide Seller with unencumbered access to the equipment) or refund the purchase price therefore. Buyer shall bear the costs of access for Seller’s remedial warranty efforts (including removal and replacement of systems, structures or other parts of Buyer’s facility), de-installation, re-installation and transportation of the parts to Seller and back to Buyer. If Seller determines that any claimed breach is not, in fact, covered by this warranty, Buyer shall pay Seller its then customary charges for any repair or replacement made by Seller. Seller’s warranty is conditioned on Buyer (a) operating and maintaining the Work in accordance with Seller’s instructions, (b) not making any unauthorized repairs or alterations, and (c) not being in default of any payment obligation to Seller. Seller’s warranty does not cover damage caused by chemical action or abrasive material, misuse or improper installation (unless installed by Seller).

The time for delivery shall be extended during the continuance of such conditions. If the acts or omissions of Buyer or its contractors or suppliers cause the delay, Seller shall also be entitled to an equitable price adjustment. Seller shall have the right to terminate the Contract, upon written notice to Buyer, in the event a Force Majeure Event lasts longer than 6 months.
8. Term. The term of this Contract shall automatically terminate upon completion of the Work.
