7. LIMITATION OF CLAIMS. In addition to Buyer’s inspection obligation set forth in Section 12 hereof, and notwithstanding any custom of trade or course dealing between Seller and Buyer, failure of Buyer to give notice of any claim for breach of warranty within ninety (90) days after a product is shipped by Seller (which the parties agree is a reasonable time), or during any applicable warranty period, shall
constitute an unqualified waiver by Buyer of all claims with respect thereto, including the right to receive a refund of or credit for the purchase price or repair or replacement of the products.
8. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Buyer assumes all risk and liability whatsoever for any and all injuries (including death), losses or damages to persons or property or otherwise resulting from or arising in

Buyer shall have no right to withhold any amounts due to Seller for any reason, except with the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer agrees that any amount owed by it to Seller shall be paid in cash to Seller promptly when due.

Buyer’s sole remedy for any delay from the estimated delivery date for a shipment is to cancel the order for such shipment by written notice to Seller; provided that Buyer shall be obligated to pay for all products completed and in process prior to Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of cancellation hereunder. In no event will Seller be liable for any premium transportation, reprocurement or other costs or losses incurred by Buyer as a result of such delay in delivery. Seller shall not be liable for loss or damage of any kind resulting from delay or inability to deliver on account of flood, fire, strike, labor troubles, riot, civil disturbances, accidents, acts or orders or regulations of civil or military authorities, shortages of materials, or any other cause or causes (whether or not similar in nature to any of these enumerated) beyond Seller’s control.

18. NO WAIVER. Failure of Seller to object to any terms that now or in the future appear in any document or form of Buyer shall not be construed as a waiver of the provisions of these terms and conditions nor an acceptance of any such term. Seller’s failure or delay in insisting on strict performance of any of these terms or conditions or in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, at any time, shall not operate as a waiver of the same, nor shall Seller’s waiver of any breach hereunder constitute a waiver of any other terms, conditions, or privileges, whether of the same or similar type.
