HPI will either repair or replace a defective product, including lowest transportation costs but not including installation or any other similar charges, provided that (1) the Buyer notifies HPI in writing of the claimed defect within three years from shipment from HPI’s factory (one year for repair work), (2) provides a complete explanation of the defect, the application of the product, and such information concerning use of the product as HPI may request, and (3) returns the product to HPI in accordance with HPI’s specific instructions and authorization obtained from HPI prior to return of the product, and HPI’s inspection confirms that the product was defective. This warranty applies only if the product was used and applied correctly under normal operating conditions and good engineering practice; was installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all instructions issued or published by HPI; was used within stated pressure, media and operating limitations published by HPI and in effect on the date of shipment; and was not subject to abuse, misuse or unauthorized modification. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, not withstanding any disclosure to HPI of the use to which the product is to be put. The Buyer’s SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY on any claim of any kind for any loss or damage arising out of the manufacture, sale, delivery, or use of HPI’s products shall be for the repair or replacement of any defective products as provided herein. IN NO EVENT SHALL HPI BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
