(a) No condition is made or to be implied nor is any warranty given or to be implied as to the life or wear of the Goods supplied or that they will be suitable for any particular purpose or use under any specific conditions, notwithstanding that such purpose or conditions may be known or made known to KVC;
(b) Any description given of the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description;
(c) KVC binds itself only to deliver Goods in accordance with the general description under which they were sold, whether or not any special or particular description shall have been given or shall be implied by law. Any such special or particular description shall be taken only as the expression of KVC’ opinion in that behalf. KVC does not give any warranty as to the quality state condition or fitness of the Goods;
(d) KVC shall be under no liability whatsoever for the following measures and actions taken by the Buyer or third parties and the consequences thereof: improper remedy of defects, alteration of the Goods without the prior written agreement of KVC, addition and insertion of parts, in particular of spare parts which do not come from KVC or KVC’s suppliers;
(e) KVC shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any defect arising from unsuitable or improper use, defective installation or commissioning by the Buyer or third parties, fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, defective or negligent handling, improper maintenance, excessive load, unsuitable operating materials and replacement materials, poor work, unsuitable foundation, chemical, electro-technical/electronic or electric influences, failure to follow KVC’s or manufacturer’s instructions (whether oral or in writing) misuse or alteration or repair of the Goods without KVC’s prior written approval;
(f) KVC is not liable for any loss damage or liability of any kind suffered by any third party directly or indirectly caused by repairs or remedial work carried out without KVC’s prior written approval and the Buyer shall indemnify KVC against each loss liability and cost arising out of such claims;
(g) KVC shall be under no liability whatsoever under the above warranty (or any other warranty condition or guarantee) if the total price for the Goods has not been paid in cleared funds by the due date for payment;
(h) KVC shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any defect in the Goods arising after the expiry of the warranty period of the Goods.
9.4 Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Goods or their failure to correspond with specification shall be notified by the Buyer directly to the manufacturer of the Goods or, if the Buyer wishes to seek KVC’s assistance in liaising with the manufacturer of the Goods, to notify KVC within three (3) days of the date of receipt of the Goods or where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection, within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect or failure. If there are even slight reservations concerning the suitability for use or the slightest reservations concerning safety, the Goods must not be used. KVC shall be given written notification immediately, specifying the reservations or the defect. However in no event shall the Buyer be entitled to reject the Goods on the basis of any defect or failure, except where the failure is such that the Goods delivered are of a fundamentally different nature than those which KVC had contracted to deliver.
