(a) Limited Product Warranty. Subject to the provisions of Section 10(b) below, Seller warrants goods against faulty workmanship and use of defective materials when such goods are properly installed, operated, and maintained according to product documentation. All documentation regarding proper use and installation can be found at www.thermal.nVent.com. Goods subjected to misuse, neglect, alteration or improper installation, operation, maintenance, repair or testing (or such other act or omissions not attributable to Seller) are not covered by this Limited Warranty. Seller makes NO WARRANTY as to products which are experimental, developmental, or not manufactured by Seller. As to products not manufactured by Seller, at Buyer’s request (but only as permitted under Seller’s agreements with its suppliers), Seller shall assign to Buyer any rights Seller may have under any warranty of the supplier. Seller shall in no event be liable for the cost of removal or installation, for loss or damage to or loss of use of facilities or other property, loss of revenue, loss of use of revenue, loss of anticipated profits, or other damages or costs of any kind whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, and in no event shall Seller’s liability exceed an amount equal to the sales price. This warranty remains in force for a period of two (2) years from date of purchase. Goods repaired under warranty are warranted for the greater of 90 days or the then unexpired portion of the original goods warranty. Seller will examine and confirm that any alleged product issue covered by this Limited Warranty actually exists and occurred in the course of proper and normal use and was not caused by accident, misuse, neglect, alteration or improper installation, operation, maintenance, repair or testing or such other cause outside of the responsibility of Seller under this Limited Warranty. Seller’s sole liability, and Buyer’s sole remedy, for breach of this warranty is limited, at Buyer’s sole option to repair such goods, or supply replacement goods, or credit Buyer’s account for goods covered by this Limited Warranty. Buyer must notify Seller, in writing, within thirty (30) days after discovery of an alleged warranty issue. Detailed warranty claim information will be requested at this time and must be supplied by Buyer. Buyer may then be asked to return the goods, freight pre-paid, to the location given by Seller. Seller’s warranties extend to Buyer and to no other person or entity. Seller’s warranties shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by, and no obligation or liability shall arise or grow out of, Seller’s rendering of technical advice or services in connection with furnishing the goods, Software, and/or services described in this Order. The periods of time described above in this Section 10, together with the period of any extended warranty, shall be collectively referred to as the “Warranty Period.” Seller must receive the goods subject to any claims hereunder, or notice in the case of services or Software, no later than 10 days after the expiration of the Warranty Period. During the term of the applicable Warranty Period, Seller’s sole and exclusive liability for a breach of warranty described in this section shall be as provided in Section 17.

(b) Down Hole Heater Units. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges that the product design is based on Buyer supplied data and engineering assumptions, the completeness and/or accuracy of which cannot be independently verified by Seller. Further, Buyer and Seller agree that variables of installation, casing configuration, completion design, bottom hole chemical and operating parameters and environment, are inherently unique and unverifiable, and past successful performance of heater unit design and installation may not be indicative of future success. As such, Buyer understands and agrees that it has final approval and responsibility for the appropriateness of the heating unit design for Buyer’s desired down hole performance. Based on Buyer’s approval of design, Seller warrants the goods will, upon transfer of title and risk of loss, perform in accordance with the electrical specifications set forth in Seller’s detailed engineering deliverable, but not that the design is suitable for any particular purpose of Buyer’s use. Any assistance in heater installation or technical or engineering information concerning heaters provided by Seller will be advisory only, at Buyer’s sole cost and on an “as is” basis. No warranty is given with respect to such services or information and Seller will not be liable for any claims arising from its furnishing, or Buyer’s use of such assistance or information.

(c) Services. To the extent the Order with Buyer includes Buyer’s purchase of on-site services, consulting services, design and/or engineering services, training services, or other miscellaneous services, Seller warrants such services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by personnel of such experience, skill, and competence that would be expected of a similar, reputable firm specializing in the provision of services comparable to those made the subject of this Order. Seller’s sole liability, and Buyer’s sole remedy, for breach of this warranty is limited, at Buyer’s sole option to re-perform such services or credit Buyer’s account for services covered by this Limited Warranty.

SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR REFUND THE PURCHASE PRICE CONSTITUTES AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH OF SELLER’S WARRANTY. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT, AND OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY ON THE PART OF SELLER, WHETHER BY STATUTE, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

Seller shall use reasonable efforts to remedy any programming error in the Software attributable to Seller which prevents the Software from substantially conforming to specifications. Such remedy shall, at Seller’s discretion, consist of providing corrected portion(s) of Software, communication to Buyer of a workaround, and/or another remedy which enables Buyer to achieve substantially the same functionality as could be obtained without the error. Seller’s obligations under this Section shall arise upon its receipt of written notice of a programming error, containing sufficient information, on computer-readable media if practicable, for Seller to reproduce the error. If Seller determines that a particular problem is not caused by Seller Software errors, or that the problem arises from Buyer modification of the Software, Seller may, at its sole discretion, refer Buyer to Seller’s professional services support group, whose services are available for an additional fee. No other right or license relating to the Software, express or implied, is granted except as provided above. Buyer shall not sell, assign, sublicense, transfer, or otherwise make available the Software to any other person or entity, without the prior written consent of Seller.

This subsection 15(a) shall survive termination or expiration of this Order.

(b) Intellectual Property Indemnity. Subject to Section 15(c), Seller will defend any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer to the extent that such suit or proceeding is based on a claim that goods manufactured and sold by Seller to Buyer constitute direct infringement of any valid patent and Seller shall pay all Damages awarded by final judgment (from which no appeal may be taken) against Buyer holding that such goods do so infringe, on condition that Seller (i) is promptly informed and furnished a copy of each communication, notice or other action relating to the alleged infringement, (ii) is given authority, information and assistance necessary to defend or settle such suit or proceeding in such a manner as Seller shall determine and (iii) is given sole control of the defense (including the right to select counsel), and the sole right to compromise and settle such suit or proceeding.

Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any and all costs (including attorneys’ fees) expenses, judgments, penalties, or other liabilities due to Buyer’s failure to comply with this Section 26. Buyer shall also be responsible for ensuring compliance with all government requirements required for imported products, shall act as importer of record, and shall be responsible for all duties, taxes, fees and other charges or assessments. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Seller shall not be obligated to provide Buyer with any documentation to substantiate that any of the products sold to Buyer qualify for any preferential duty treatment.

27. LANGUAGE. This Order is in the English language. Any translated version of it is purely for the convenience of the parties and the English version is controlling.

28. COMPLIANCE PROVISIONS. The parties shall comply with all laws and regulations including, but not limited to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, laws under the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and local anti-corruption laws. Seller and Buyer intend that no payments or transfers of value shall be made which have the purpose or effect of public or commercial bribery, acceptance of or acquiescence in extortion or kickbacks, or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business. Buyer will not request Seller to take any action which is prohibited or penalized under any U.S. anti-boycott law or regulation, and any such apparent request will be deemed null and void. No part of the payment of any amounts payable under this Order will be distributed to Seller, its affiliates or customers, or any of its employees or their family members.

29. MERGER. This Order (including any applicable software license terms and conditions referred to in Section 14) constitutes the final written expression of all terms of the agreement relating to the transactions described and a complete and exclusive statement of those terms. This Order supersedes all previous and contemporaneous communications, representations, promises or statements, either oral or written, with respect to such transactions (including, without limitations, any terms proposed by Buyer) and such communications, representations, promises or statements, of any kind, made by any representative of Buyer or Seller, which are not stated, shall not be binding on Seller. Acceptance by Buyer is limited to these terms. No addition or modification of any printed provision of this Order will be binding upon Seller (and Seller hereby objects to and rejects the same) unless made in writing (referring specifically to this Order) and signed by an authorized officer of Seller. Neither commencement of performance nor delivery shall be construed as an acceptance by Seller of Buyer's additional or different terms. No course of dealing or usage of trade or course of performance will be deemed relevant to explain or supplement any term expressed in this Order.
