(6) PRODUCT WARRANTY

SELLER may provide product specific written warranties, as set out in SELLER’s sales materials and/or as annexed hereto or referenced herein.  In the absence of any such specific warranty for products sold hereunder, SELLER makes no warranty whatsoever for any product sold hereunder; SELLER makes no warranty of merchantability or that this product is suitable for any particular purpose and can make no other warranties, express or implied, other than those set forth above.

 

(7) DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

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.

(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.

(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.  If BUYER fails in any way to fulfill the terms and conditions hereof, SELLER may defer further shipments until such default is corrected.
