10.1 SELLER warrants that the Products, if applicable, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of [six (6) months] from the date of delivery. SELLER’s obligations under the aforesaid warranty shall be discounting, repairing or replacing the Products, which if properly used and maintained, prove defective in material or workmanship. Such discount, repair or replacement shall be SELLER’s sole obligation and BUYER’s sole remedy hereunder and shall be conditioned upon (a) BUYER’S inspection of the Products within five (5) days of receipt by BUYER, (b) SELLER’s receipt of written notice of any alleged defect within five (5) days after its discovery, and (c) at SELLER'S option, return of such defective Products. From the time of detection of the defects, any sale, treatment or processing of the Products is forbidden without SELLER’s prior express written consent, otherwise all claims of the alleged defects shall be voided. Any Product repaired or replaced pursuant to this warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Upon SELLER’s request, BUYER shall promptly provide samples and other evidence of, and shall allow SELLER’S representative’s access to the alleged defective Products. Claiming an alleged defect does not relieve BUYER of any of its payment obligation to SELLER. BUYER must not return any alleged defective Products without SELLER’S prior written consent. BUYER agrees to reimburse SELLER for all costs and expenses associated with any return of Products unauthorized by SELLER. Receipt or inspection of returned Products by SELLER shall not be deemed an admission of any alleged defect. Buyer shall cooperate with SELLER in the verification and removal of defects to the extent such cooperation can be reasonably expected from BUYER and shall especially provide information. If after verification the SELLER does not accept the defects alleged, the BUYER shall indemnify the SELLER for all costs connected with the verification.

10.2 SELLER’S obligations under Section 10.1 above shall not apply to any part of the Products sold hereunder, which (a) are consumed by normal wear and tear, (b) have a normal life time inherently shorter than the herein stated warranty period. In such case, the specific warranty period for the relevant Product, as it is eventually specified or restricted in technical/safety datasheet or machine manual and/or on the packaging of the relevant Product, shall apply, or (c) have been damaged due to negligent or faulty use, alteration, maintenance, storage or handling in contravention of the Products’ specifications, technical data sheet, manuals, material safety data sheet or other instructions, or otherwise by BUYER.

10.3 Any suggestions by SELLER or SELLER'S agents regarding use, application or suitability of Products shall not be construed as an express warranty unless confirmed to be such in writing by SELLER.

10.4 BUYER assumes all risk for misuse of the Products.

10.5 THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED HEREIN SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, APPLICATION OR USE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITY ON SELLER'S PART.

11.2 BUYER shall cooperate with SELLER in the verification of the alleged non-conformance of quantity and shall especially provide evidence thereof. Claiming an alleged non-conformance of quantity does not relieve BUYER of any of its payment obligation to SELLER.

11.3 In the event of a justified claim concerning non-conformance of quantity, SELLER will, as its sole liability and as BUYER’s exclusive remedy, provide compensation only in the form of the Products of non- conformed quantity under the claim confirmed by SELLER.
