Warranties
-
Seller
warrants
only
to
the
original
Buyer
that
the
goods
sold
are
free
from
defects
that
are
not
commercially
acceptable
and
are
fit
for
the
purpose
for
which
similar
equipment
would
normally
be
used.
Unless
agreed
to
in
writing
and
signed
by
both
parties,
Seller
does
not
warrant
the
suitability
of
the
goods
for
any
particular
purpose
of
Buyer.
Buyer
must
inspect
the
equipment
at
its
own
expense
within
a
reasonable
time
after
delivery
and
report
any
defects
to
Seller
immediately
in
writing.
Where
defects
are
latent,
they
must
be
reported
immediately
upon
being
discovered
by
Buyer.
For
clarity,
certain
parts
wear
at
various
rates
depending
on
the
application
of
Buyer.
Such
normal
wear
and
tear
is
not
covered
under
this
warranty.
Seller
shall,
at
its
option,
repair
or
replace
any
parts
deemed
to
be
defective
free
of
charge
after
a
written
request
by
Buyer
to
do
so
and
inspection
of
the
parts
by
Seller.
This
warranty
shall
run
for
a
period
of
twelve
months
from
the
date
of
delivery
or
500
hours
of
operation,
whichever
is
shorter.
Seller’s
liability
for
parts
manufactured
by
a
third
party
shall
be
limited
to
the
extent
of
any
warranties
between
Seller
and
third
party.
This
warranty
shall
be
void
where
Buyer
fails
to
report
defects
within
a
reasonable
time,
attempts
to
repair
or
alter
the
equipment
itself
or
causes
the
equipment
to
be
repaired
or
altered
by
a third party not authorized by Seller.
9)
Repairs
not
covered
-
Any
repairs
not

reserves
the
right
to
charge
a
fee
for
these
services.
10)
Indemnity
-
Buyer
shall
indemnify
and
hold
Seller
harmless
for
all
claims
arising
from
damages
resulting
from
the
use
or
operation
of
the
goods
sold
because
of
the
improper
repair,
maintenance
or
operation
of
the
goods
by
Buyer,
the
failure
of
Buyer
to
adequately
train
personnel
in
the
operation
of
the
goods,
Buyer’s
failure
to
comply
with
local
regulations
or
otherwise.
As
the
equipment
is
capable
of
producing
very
high
fluid
pressures,
it
is
Buyer’s
responsibility
to
ensure
that
all
operators
have
been
properly trained in the use, operation and maintenance of the equipment.
