Warranties: Seller’s sole liability with respect to the Products and accompanying equipment, materials, and/or parts shall be limited to the assignment by Seller to Buyer of any manufacturer’s warranties to the extent such warranties exist and are assignable. In no event shall Seller have any obligation to make repairs, corrections, or replacements, in whole or in part, as the result of: (i) normal wear and tear; (ii) accident, disaster, or force majeure; (iii) misuse, fault, or negligence of the Buyer or any third-party to which the Buyer sells or otherwise transfers the Products; (iv) any use of the Products in a manner that is inconsistent with the purpose for which the Products were designed; and (v) improper storage of Products.

Indemnity: Buyer shall defend and indemnify Seller (with Seller’s choice of counsel) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and litigation costs) that Seller may at any time sustain arising out of: (i) the Buyer’s use, further sale, distribution, or transfer of possession of the Products; (ii) any defect in the Product that is allegedly attributable to the Buyer’s actions or inactions (whether or not such allegations of defectiveness are or ultimately prove to be meritorious); (iii) any defect in the installation of the Product that is allegedly attributable to the Buyer’s actions or inactions (whether or not such allegations of defectiveness are or ultimately prove to be meritorious); and (iv) any breach by the Buyer of any provision of this Acknowledgement Form.

Insurance: Buyer shall maintain insurance coverage that includes Seller as an additional insured on such policy and that covers the Buyer’s indemnity obligations set forth herein.
