All orders received and all sales made by UV Resources (herein called “Company”) are expressly conditioned upon the following Conditions of Sale. Any additional or different terms (except additional provisions regarding shipping instructions), whether or not materially different, set forth in any purchase order or other communication from Buyer are objected to and shall not be binding upon Company unless specifically accepted in writing by an authorized representative of Company.
1. WARRANTY
Company warrants that each product to be delivered hereunder will conform to Company’s applicable specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, (except the warranty of title), whether written, oral, implied to statutory. NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. The conditions of any test shall be mutually agreed upon, and company shall be notified of, and may be represented at, all tests that may be made. If any failure to conform to the foregoing warranties appears within three months from date of shipment (hereinafter referred to as the Liability Period), Buyer shall promptly notify Company thereof and make the affected products available to Company and Company shall then, at its option, either correct the defect or defects by making a replacement of the product at Buyer’s plant or issue an appropriate credit. The foregoing shall constitute the Buyer’s exclusive remedies for claims (except as to title or patent infringement) based on defects in or failure of products whether the claim is in contract or tort (including negligence) and however instituted. NOTE: Where products have limited life or may deteriorate through age or other factor such as improper storage, of where industry accepted visual imperfections exist, such limited life, or deterioration or imperfection is not a defect in material or workmanship or a failure to conform to specification as contemplated herein. Such products are normally so labeled, or identified in published data, or accompanied by cautionary notice. It is understood that any defective product will not be returned until authorized in advance by Company. Returned products should be intact in form as shipped and must retain Company’s identity.
2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
In no event, whether as a result of breach of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), failure of a remedy to accomplish its purpose, or otherwise, shall Company be liable for any incidental or consequential damages including, but not limited to, loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of the product, damage to associated equipment, downtime of plant or equipment, cost of substitute equipment or products, or claims of Buyer’s customers for such damage. Except as provided below with respect to patent infringement, the liability of Company on any claim of any kind, whether based upon breach of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, for any loss or damage arising out of, or resulting from this agreement, or from its performance or breach, or for any product furnished hereunder, shall in no event exceed the price of the product which gives rise to the claim. Except as to title, all such liability shall terminate upon the expiration of the Liability Period specified in the section entitled “Warranty”. If Company furnishes Buyer with advice or other assistance which concerns any product supplied hereunder or any equipment, in which any such product may be installed and which is not required pursuant to this agreement, the furnishing of such advice or assistance will not subject Company to any liability, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence) or otherwise. The invalidity, in whole or part, of any of the foregoing paragraphs will not affect the remainder of such paragraphs or any other paragraph in this section.
3. PATENTS
Buyer shall hold Company harmless against any expense or loss resulting from infringement of patents or trademarks arising from compliance with Buyer’s designs or specifications or instructions. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, Company shall defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer so far as based on a claim that any product, or any part thereof, furnished under this agreement constitutes an infringement of any patent of the United States, if notified promptly in writing and given authority, information and assistance (at Company’s expense) for the defense of same, and Company shall pay all damages and costs awarded therein against Buyer.. In case such product, or any part thereof, is in such suit held to constitute infringement and the use of said product or part is enjoined, Company shall, at its option and its own expense, either procure for Buyer the right to continue using said product or part; or replace same with non-infringing products; or modify it so it becomes non-infringing or remove product and refund the purchase price and the transportation costs thereof. The foregoing states the entire liability of Company for patent infringement by the said product or any part thereof. Company shall not be liable for any costs or damages incurred by Buyer as a result of any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer so far as based on claims (a) that use of any product, or any part thereof, furnished hereunder, in combination with products not supplied by Company, or (b) that a manufacturing or other process utilizing any product, or any part thereof, furnished hereunder, constitute either direct or contributory infringement of any patent of the United States. The sale of products by Company does not convey any license, by implication, estoppels or otherwise, under patent claims covering (a)combinations of said products with other devices or elements or (b) a process or machine in connection with which they may be used.
4. DELIVERY, TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

In the event of any such delay, the date of delivery or performance shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.
6. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND PAYMENTS
Any order for products by Buyer shall constitute a representation that Buyer is solvent.
