Unless explicitly stated in a contract agreement, purchase order, or quote, Seller warrants that the Goods manufactured by it will be free from defects in material and workmanship for ninety days (90) following the date of shipment.

Seller’s liability (whether under the theories of breach of contract or warranty, negligence, or strict liability) for the Goods shall be limited to repairing or replacing, at Seller’s option, Goods found by Seller to be nonconforming, or at Seller’s option, to refunding the purchase price of the non-conforming Goods.
