Seller’s only liabilities under this warranty, or otherwise, shall be the repair or replacement (at Seller’s option) of non-conforming goods or parts, not to exceed the original cost of the product.
The products and/or services of other manufacturers, which are furnished by Seller, are covered only by such warranties as are given by said manufacturer to Seller. In this regard, Seller agrees to certify to Buyer the identity of the supplier of items claimed to be defective so that the Buyer may pursue warranty claims against the party. Coated coils typically require a minimum of quarterly cleanings in order to maintain manufacturer warranty. Contact Seller for applicable details of warranty coverage.

5) FORCE MAJEURE. Seller will not be responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of orders or in delivery of shipment of goods or for any damages suffered by Buyer by reason of such failure or delay when such failure or delay is directly or indirectly caused by or in any manner arisen from Acts of God, wars, riots, fires, explosions, breakdowns or accidents, strikes, lockouts, or other labor difficulties, lack or shortages of labor, materials, utilities, energy source, or transportation facilities, delays of carriers, compliance with governmental rules, regulations, priorities, allocation or other governmental requirements, any other like causes, or any other unlike causes beyond Seller’s reasonable control. The foregoing shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any excuses for nonperformance available to Seller under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. In the event Seller is excused from performance under any of the foregoing provisions or applicable law, Seller has the further right, notwithstanding any provision of the order to the contrary, at its option, to either allocate its available goods between itself and its customers in such manner as Seller may consider equitable, or cancel the remainder of the order.

Seller is proud to continue serving you in these unprecedented times due to the COVID pandemic. Freight carriers are, temporarily, no longer holding freight at terminals if shipments are undeliverable. Any shipment not delivered is being returned to Seller and is being charged the return freight. As each state and city have different requirements, Seller is trusting Buyer to notify Seller if Buyer’s order shipment destination is closed or now has restricted receiving hours. Any additional freight charges incurred by Seller due to communication failure will be passed on to Buyer. Unless Seller receives information to the contrary, Seller will continue to ship product per the scheduled ship date last communicated to Buyer.

b) All actual charges made or incurred by Seller in connection with the uncompleted portion of the order as determined by Seller’s normal accounting practices.
