Warranty:

workmanship. Pressure Systems' liability under this warranty is limited to
replacing or repairing, at is option, any product which is returned to the
factory, transportation charges prepaid, and which is determined by Pressure
Systems to be defective. This warranty does not apply to any product which has
been damaged due to misuse, misapplication, or incorrect electrical connection,
or which has been repaired or altered without express prior and written consent
from Pressure Systems, or which has been subjected to misuse, negligence, or
accident. In order to obtain service under the terms of the warranty, Buyer
must notify Pressure Systems of any defects before the expiration of the
warranty period and make suitable arrangements for the performance of services.
Pressure Systems will provide on-site service only upon prior agreement and upon
payment of all travel expenses by Buyer. In all other cases, Buyer shall be
responsible for packaging and shipping the products to the Pressure Systems
plant with shipping charges prepaid. Pressure Systems shall pay for the return
of any products to Buyer if the shipment is to a location within the continental
USA. Buyer shall be responsible for paying all shipping duties, taxes, and
other charges for products returned to any other location. Warranty period for
all products is one year from date of shipment (except KPSI transducers, which

or implied. Pressure Systems explicitly disclaims any implied warranties of

Excusable Delays:
- No liability shall result from delay in performance
or non-performance in whole or in part if performance as agreed has been made

basic assumption on which this contract was made, including, but not limited to,
acts of God, fire, flood, accident, riot, war, sabotage, strike, labor trouble
or shortage, or embargo. PSI inability to obtain at prices and on terms deemed
by it to be practicable any required raw material, energy source, equipment,
labor, or transportation, or any increased costs due to capital improvements for
environmental protection shall also be sufficient to relieve PSI of its
obligation to perform hereunder. If any of such circumstances affect only a
part of PSI capacity to perform, PSI shall have the right to allocate production
and deliveries among all of its customers and its own requirements in a manner
and at such times as PSI may determine. Quantities affected by this paragraph

to, any employee of Buyer who alleges or proves that he or she has been injured
in the course of his or her employment while working with the products supplied
by the PSI under this agreement), which i) is caused or contributed to by the
negligence or fault of Buyer; or ii) results from the infringement of any
patent, trademark or copyright related to the products (or designs and
specifications therefore) supplied to Buyer hereunder. In case the Buyer
resells the products supplied by the PSI under this agreement, Buyer will
request and if possible obtain from its purchaser an indemnification similar to
the foregoing for the benefit of Buyer and PSI.

- PSI shall not be liable on contract, tort or
otherwise for any loss or damage suffered by the Purchaser whatsoever or
howsoever arising out of or in connection with the supply of goods or services
by PSI other than to supply goods conforming to the original agreed
specifications or at PSI option to refund to the Purchaser any monies already
paid in respect of the goods. PSI liability with respect to this contract and
the products purchased under it shall not exceed the purchase price of the
portion of such product as to which liability arises and PSI shall not be liable
for any injury, loss or damage, resulting from the handling or use of the
product shipped hereunder whether in manufacturing process or otherwise. In no
event shall PSI be liable for special, incidental or consequential damages,
including, but not limited to, loss of profits, capital or business opportunity;
downtime costs; or claims of customers of Buyer. Failure to give PSI notice of
any claim within 30 days of Delivery of the product concerned shall constitute a
waiver of such claim by Buyer. Notwithstanding any applicable statute of
limitations to the contrary, any action by Buyer relating to a claim hereunder
must be instituted no later than two (2) years after the occurrence of the event
upon which the claim is based. All of the foregoing limitations shall apply

of warranty, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.

which may have accrued or which may accrue to it terminate the contract
summarily by notice in writing.

sale and purchase of the product herein named. It is not assignable by Buyer

order forms containing different terms or conditions.
