after discovery of the defect; and (d) which are found to be defective by Seller upon Seller’s ex-
amination. Buyer shall pay all transportation charges. SELLER SHALL NOT BE OTHERWISE
LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY OTHER LOSS, DAM-

IS ASSERTED BY BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. THE LIABILITIES OF
SELLER, AS ABOVE SET FORTH, SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED BECAUSE OF ADVICE
GIVEN BY IT IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIGN, INSTALLATION OR USE OF THE PROD-
