INSPECTION
AND ACCEPTANCE: Claims
for damage, shortage or errors in shipping must be reported within two (2) days
following delivery to Buyer. Buyer shall have seven (7) days from the date
Buyer receives any products to inspect such products and services for defects
and nonconformance which are not due to damage, shortage or errors in shipping
and notify Seller, in writing, of any defects, nonconformance or rejection of
such products. After such seven (7) day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted the products, if not previously accepted. After such
acceptance, Buyer shall have no right to reject the products for any reason or
to revoke acceptance. Buyer hereby agrees that such seven (7) day period is a
reasonable amount of time for such inspection and revocation. Buyer shall have
no right to order any change or modification to any product or service previously ordered by Buyer or its representatives or
cancel any order without Seller's written consent and payment to Seller
of all charges, expenses, commissions and reasonable profits owed to or
incurred by Seller. Specially fabricated or ordered items may not be canceled
or returned, and no refund will be made. The sole and exclusive remedy for
merchandise alleged to be defective in workmanship or
material will be the replacement of the merchandise subject to the
manufacturer's inspection and warranty.
RETURNS: Buyer may return any product which Seller stocks with no
restocking charge if: (i) it is in new condition,
suitable for resale in its undamaged original packaging and with all its
original parts and (ii) it has not been used, installed, modified, rebuilt,
reconditioned, repaired, altered or damaged. Buyer's surplus job returns, and
those not meeting (i) and (ii), above, will be
evaluated on an individual basis after Buyer has contacted Seller's authorized
representative for prior written permission. Special orders or non-stock items

requests a shipment delay, or if Seller ships or delivers the products
erroneously as a result of inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information
supplied by Buyer or its agents or employees, storage and all other additional
costs and risks shall be borne solely by Buyer. Claims for products damaged or
lost in transit should be made by Buyer to the carrier, as Seller's
responsibility ceases upon tender of goods to Buyer, Buyer's representative or
common carrier.
