These terms and conditions shall override and supersede any previous agreement or arrangement between the Company and the Purchaser in relation to the subject matter of the quotation, contract, or order, and in particular shall override and exclude any terms or conditions at any time imposed by the Purchaser.
- WARRANTY: The Company’s standard Warranty Policy shall be the sole and exclusive warranty of the products, as provided therein. At the discretion of the Company, Purchaser’s failure to complete Installation, Commissioning, and Operator Training shall result in forfeit of warranty rights.
- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, OTHER PRODUCTS: Any separately listed item of the product(s) which is not a Cold Jet, LLC branded product is not warranted by the Company, and shall be covered only by the express warranty, if any, of the manufacturer thereof. As between Purchaser and the Company, such products are sold AS IS, and NO IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS IS GIVEN AND NO OTHER WARRANTY IS GIVEN EXTENDING BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE OF THE COMPANY'S QUOTATION OR ACCEPTANCE FORM. The Company will in respect of such goods use reasonable efforts to pass on to the Purchaser the benefit of any guarantee provided by the manufacturer or supplier of such goods but not so as to impose on the Company any liability in respect thereof.

Any data, printed matter, designs, drawings, specifications, advertisements, or catalogues supplied to the Purchaser before or after the date of order are subject to alteration without notice and represent only a general guide to the goods and services described therein. All such documents or data are not representations or warranties of fact nor shall they form the basis of any contract.
- PRICE VARIATIONS: The Company shall have the right to increase contract prices to reflect any increase in costs arising after the date of any quotation as a result of: any alteration in or addition to the Purchaser's requirements; the Purchaser's instructions or lack of instructions; any interruptions, delays, overtime work, mistakes, alterations arising from the work of other contractors found to be outside agreed tolerances, delays caused by other contractors, and any other cause for which the Company is not directly responsible; any increase in any tax, duty or levy imposed on goods and services which affect contract prices in any manner.

The Company may make partial shipments.
- DELAYS: Times quoted for shipment or delivery are to be reckoned from the date of the Company's official acceptance of the Purchaser's order, or (if late) from the date of receipt of all information necessary to enable the Company to proceed forthwith. Any date given by the Company for delivery of goods or completion of services is given as an estimate only and shall not constitute a term of any contract between the Company and the Purchaser and any delay in delivery or completion shall not constitute a breach of contract. While the company will use reasonable efforts to meet such estimates, it reserves the right to amend given dates without prior notification. The Company shall under no circumstances be liable for any direct or indirect or special, incidental or consequential losses, costs or penalties incurred or suffered by the Purchaser as a result of the Company's inability or failure for any reason to meet specified delivery or installation dates. Unless otherwise specifically expressed, partial shipments shall be deemed acceptable.
- STORAGE: Any item of the product(s) on which manufacture or shipment is delayed by causes within Purchaser's control, or by causes which affect Purchaser's ability to receive the product(s), may be placed in storage by the Company for Purchaser's account and risk, either at the Company's own facility or elsewhere on the Purchaser's behalf and all resulting charges for storage, insurance, transport or demurrage (including the Company's charge for storage) and incidental expenses shall be payable by the Purchaser. The goods may be invoiced on the day they are put into storage, and for the purposes of payment by the Purchaser and the Company's liability hereunder, the goods shall be deemed to have been delivered and the risk of loss shall pass to the Purchaser on that day.
- GOODS IN TRANSIT: The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage to goods in transit or for any shortage on delivery.

Warranty Policy
Cold Jet, LLC® (“CJ”) warrants its products (“Equipment”) provided under this Agreement to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months (90 days for used equipment), under normal use, maintenance and service as stipulated in the Operator’s Manual, Commissioning, and Operator Training. At the discretion of CJ, failure to complete Installation, Commissioning, and Operator Training shall result in forfeit of warranty rights. CJ warrants that the equipment will be in good working order on the Date of Shipment and will conform to CJ’s official published specifications.
The warranty period is 12 months (90 days for used equipment) for CJ manufactured Equipment. Original Equipment Manufacturers’ warranties provided by CJ on equipment purchased under this Agreement not manufactured by CJ will be passed through to the Buyer. The warranty period commences on the Date of Shipment of the Equipment.
CJ’s liability is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any covered part of its Equipment which CJ has determined to be defective. Said repair or replacement will be made by CJ or its authorized representative (“Authorized Personnel”) free of charge to the Buyer during the warranty period unless approved by CJ representative. Any replaced part will become the property of CJ. If, after repeated efforts, CJ is unable to restore its Equipment to good working order, or to replace the defective parts, all as warranted, CJ may replace the Equipment in its entirety at its discretion. Any claim must be made in writing to CJ within 30 days after the defect is discovered and any claim not made within that period shall be deemed waived or released and denied.
Warranty service provided under this Agreement does not assume uninterrupted operation of the Equipment. The suitability of the equipment for the purpose intended is not included in the warranty.
This warranty shall not apply and CJ shall not be responsible nor liable for:
a) Consequential, collateral or special losses or damages;
b) Equipment conditions caused by abnormal conditions of use, accident, neglect or misuse of Equipment, improper storage or handling, or damages resulting during shipment as determined by CJ;
c) The replacement of normal wear items, including but not limited to hoses, control cables, pads, rotors, bearings, filters, blades, wear bands, o-rings, and hydraulic fluid;
d) Deviation from the Equipment’s prescribed maintenance programs, replacement parts, operating instructions, specifications or other terms of sale;
e) Improper application of the product.
In order to comply with the terms of this Warranty Policy, and for safety reasons, repairs other than those stated above require special equipment and therefore must be made by Authorized Personnel. The liability of CJ under the terms of the UL, CSA, CE, or other applicable regulatory standards governing product performance and safety may become invalid if Buyer or persons other than Authorized Personnel make repairs with spare parts not identical to the parts for the Original Equipment, if repairs are carried out by persons other than Authorized Personnel, or if repairs are unsatisfactory due to lack of special equipment. In such cases, CJ’s liability will be solely confined to manufacturing defects or errors made prior to the Equipment being delivered to Buyer and before such unauthorized repairs or replacements were made.
In no event shall CJ be liable for claims, whether arising from breach of contract or warranty of claims of negligence or negligent manufacture, in excess of the purchase price.
THIS WARRANTY IS THE SOLE WARRANTY OF CJ AND ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR USE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, FACT, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE, ARE HEREBY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED.
