statements by an agent or employee of seller that differ in
any way from the terms and conditions hereof shall be given
no force or effect, no modifications or additions thereto

The
Seller reserves the right to change the design, and/or
pricing of any of its products at any time. Purchasers of

exchange or upgrade price determined by the seller.
3. 30
DAY GUARANTEE. If Buyer is not satisfied with the
performance of the Goods within 30 days from the date the
Goods were shipped from the Seller, Buyer may return the
Goods in the original carton(s) for a full refund less
Shipping, Handling, Damages and Freight Charges. All sales
become final after this 30 day period. Buyer should
determine the satisfactory performance of the Goods by using
the software, and inspecting and bench running the motors
and/or accessory items. Any items to be returned for
full refund must be in new, unused (except for bench
testing), and saleable condition at the sole determination
of the Seller. Items that, in the Seller's judgment,
have been used or modified in any way, or kits that have

4.
WARRANTY. Electronics and motors are warranted by their
manufacturer to the original purchaser for 12 months from
the date of Applied Robotics, Inc.'s sale invoice.
Mechanical components are standard industrial parts and are
not warranted except by their respective manufacturers.
If any of the warranted items are found by Seller to be
defective, such Goods will, at Seller's option, be replaced
or repaired at Seller's cost. No defective goods are to be
returned without written authorization of seller. The sole
purpose of the stipulated exclusive remedy shall be to
provide the Buyer with free repair and replacement of
defective Goods in the manner provided herein. This
exclusive remedy shall not be deemed to have failed of its
essential purpose so long as the Seller is willing and able
to repair or replace defective Goods in the prescribed
manner. The foregoing warranty is in lieu of all other
warranties, express or implied, including those of
merchantability or fitness for any purpose not expressly set
forth herein. No affirmation of Seller, by words or action,
other than as set forth in this Section shall constitute a
warranty. Seller's warranty does not apply to any Goods
which have been subjected to misuse, mishandling,
misapplication, neglect (including but not limited to
improper maintenance), accident, improper installation,
modification (including by not limited to use of
unauthorized parts or attachments), or adjustment or repair
performed by anyone other than Seller or one of Seller's
authorized agents. When returning products to Seller
packaging must be adequate or all warranty is null and void.
Buyer will pay for the cost of Shipping to and from the
Seller for all warranty repairs.
Any
claim by Buyer with reference to the Goods sold hereunder
shall be deemed waived by the Buyer unless submitted in
writing to seller within the earlier of (I) thirty (30) days
following the date Buyer discovered or by reasonable
inspection should have discovered, any claimed breach of
foregoing warranty, or (ii) 12 months following the date of
shipment. Any cause of action for breach of the foregoing
warranty shall be brought within one year from the date the
alleged breach was discovered or should have been
discovered, whichever occurs first.
5.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Seller's liability (whether under
the theories of breach of contract or warranty, negligence,
or strict liability) for its Goods shall be limited to
repairing or replacing Goods found by Seller to be
defective, or at Seller's option, to refunding the purchase
price of such Goods or parts thereof.
6.
DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no event shall
seller be liable for consequential damages arising out of or
in connection with this agreement, including without
limitation, breach of any obligation imposed on seller
hereunder. Consequential damages shall include without
limitation, loss of use, income or profit, or loss sustained
as the result of injury (including death) to any person, or
loss of or damage to property (including without limitation
property handled or processed by the use of the goods).
Buyer shall indemnify seller against all liability, cost or
expense which may be sustained by seller on account of any
such loss, damage, or injury.
7.
ACCEPTANCE AND TRANSPORTATION. Upon buyer's receipt of
shipment, Buyer shall immediately inspect the Goods. Unless
Buyer provides Seller with written notice of any claim for
shortage, overcharge, or damage of Goods within ten (10)
days from invoice date, such Goods shall be deemed finally
inspected, checked and accepted by Buyer and no allowances
shall be made thereafter. In absence of shipping and
packaging instructions, Seller shall use its own discretion
in the choice of carrier and method of packing. Seller shall
not be responsible for insuring shipments unless
specifically requested by Buyer and any insurance or special
packaging so requested shall be at Buyer's expense and

stock will be shipped within 7 working days, and Goods not
in stock will be shipped according to Seller's production
schedule. However, all shipping dates are approximate, and
are based upon current availability of materials, present
production schedules, and prompt receipt of all necessary
information. Seller will not be liable for any damage, loss,
fault, or expense arising out of delays in shipment or other
nonperformance of this Agreement caused by or imposed by:
(1) strikes, fires, disasters, wars, riots, acts of god; (2)
acts of Buyer; (3) shortages of fuel, labor, power,
materials, supplies, transportation, or manufacturing
facilities; (4) governmental action; (5) sub- contractor
delay; or (6) any other cause or condition beyond Seller's
reasonable control. In the event of any such delay or
nonperformance, Seller may, at its option, and without
liability, cancel all or any portion of this Agreement
and/or extend any date upon which any performance hereunder
is due.
