Exclusive Remedy
—It is expressly agreed that the Purchaser’s
sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the above warranty, for
any tortious conduct of MSA, or for any other cause of action,
shall be the repair and/or replacement, at MSA’s option, of any
equipment or parts thereof, that after examination by MSA are
proven to be defective. Replacement equipment and/or parts
will be provided at no cost to the Purchaser, F.O.B. Purchaser’s
named place of destination. Failure of MSA to successfully
repair any nonconforming product shall not cause the remedy
established hereby to fail of its essential purpose.
MSA requires that the SCBA be maintained as speci-
fied in the Operations and Instructions Manual; howev-
er, the warranty coverage is for material defects
and/or faulty workmanship only, and is not depend-
ent on performing routine maintenance. The mate-
rial and labor costs of overhaul procedures and
other routine maintenance are the responsibility of
the purchaser and are not covered by the warranty.
