Purchaser’s failure to notify Verellen of any non-conforming Products within such ten (10) business day period following the Purchaser’s initial receipt of the goods shall constitute (i) Purchaser’s full and complete acceptance of the Products and (ii) Purchaser’s waiver of any further right of inspection and/or claims of non-conforming Products. Within a reasonable time after any such timely notification, Verellen will inspect the alleged non-conforming Products and, if and only if they are deemed in Verellen’s sole discretion to indeed be non-conforming, Verellen will, at Verellen’s sole option, (i) replace any non-conforming Products at the original point of delivery or (ii) refund the Purchaser’s purchase price for such non-conforming Products. Verellen shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages in connection therewith. These remedies are Purchaser’s exclusive remedies for non-conforming goods.

VERELLEN SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND. ALL SUCH PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED BY VERELLEN ON AN “AS IS” BASIS. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY SHALL NOT LIMIT PURCHASER’S RECOURSE AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PRODUCTS UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IF ANY, EXTENDED BY SUCH MANUFACTURER.
