​
The warranties set forth herein or in SELLER’S warranty documents with respect to a product are the only warranties made by SELLER in connection with the product and the transactions contemplated as a result of this sale.

BUYER shall inspect for nonconformity promptly upon receipt. Failure by BUYER to give SELLER written notice of claim within 30 days from date of delivery or, in the case of non-delivery from the date fixed for delivery, shall constitute a waiver by BUYER of all claims in respect of such products.

(9) EXCUSES FOR NONPERFORMANCE
​
If the manufacture, transportation, delivery, or receipt by either party of any products is prevented, restricted or interfered with by reason of any event or cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the party so affected, such party shall be excused from making or taking deliveries hereunder to the extent of such prevention, restriction or interference, and neither party shall be liable to the other for default or delay in performing its obligations, except payment obligations. If by reason of any such event or cause, the quantities of the products covered hereby, or of any materials used in the production thereof, reasonably available to SELLER shall be less than its total needs for its own use and for sale, SELLER may allocate its available supply of any such products among its existing or prospective purchasers and/or its own departments, divisions and subsidiaries in such manner as SELLER deems proper, without thereby incurring liability for failure to perform this contract.
(10) RIGHTS OF SELLER
​
If, in SELLER'S judgment, BUYER'S credit shall become impaired at any time, SELLER may decline to make shipments hereunder except upon receipt of cash payments in advance or security or other proof of responsibility satisfactory to SELLER.
