LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


SELLER takes no responsibility for Goods selection, operation, and use, regardless of any recommendations or suggestions made by the SELLER. Buyer shall make selections based upon its own analysis with regard to function, material compatibility, fitness for use or intended purpose, and Goods ratings. Any such analysis, including testing, shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Proper installation, operation, and maintenance are solely the responsibility of Buyer or its customer. Any specifications listed in SELLER’s datasheets, catalog and website are for reference only and are subject to change without notice.

This limitation of liability reflects a deliberate and bargained-for allocation of risks between SELLER and Buyer and constitutes the basis of the parties’ bargain, without which SELLER would not have agreed to the price or terms of this agreement. SELLER shall not under any circumstances, be liable for any labor charges without its prior written consent. SELLER SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE WHETHER AS A RESULT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR INDEMNITY) OR OTHER GROUNDS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, LIQUIDATED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES including, but not limited to, loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of Goods or associated Goods, cost of capital, cost of substitute Goods, facilities or services, downtime costs, or claims of customers of Buyer for such damage. If SELLER furnishes Buyer with advice or other assistance regarding any Goods or services supplied hereunder, or any system or equipment in which any such Goods may be installed, and which is not required pursuant to this agreement, the furnishing of the advice or assistance will not subject SELLER to any liability, whether based on agreement, warranty, tort (including negligence or indemnity) or other grounds. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold SELLER harmless from any third party claims arising out of the use, resale, or lease of said furnished Goods or services.
