2. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

2.1 If a Product does not meet the limited warranty described in Section 1.1, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be, at Lovejoy’s choice, repair or replacement of the nonconforming Product (EXW the designated Lovejoy facility) or a credit of a fair amount not to exceed the price paid for the nonconforming Product. If an item of Services does not meet the limited warranty described in Section 1.1, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be, at Lovejoy’s choice, for Lovejoy to re-perform the nonconforming portions of the Services or issue a credit of a fair amount not to exceed the price paid with respect to the nonconforming portions of the Services. To be entitled to the exclusive remedy, Buyer must (a) submit the warranty claim to Lovejoy within one year following the Shipment Date for Products or Completion Date for Services, as applicable (but no later than six weeks following the first discovery of a possible nonconformity), (b) return to Lovejoy 100% or, if agreed by Lovejoy, a lesser but still statistically relevant percentage of the Products or Service Items claimed to be defective, and (c) provide reasonable evidence in support of the warranty claim, including, if requested by Lovejoy, results of diagnostic tests, evaluations and investigations performed by Buyer or Buyer’s customer. The warranty claims limitation period for repaired or replaced Products and re-performed Services will expire at the same time as the original warranty claims limitation period.

2.2 The remedy described in Section 2.1 is Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the limited warranty and for any other claim relating to the Products and Services, regardless of the basis of Buyer’s claim, whether it is in contract, tort, express or implied warranty, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, and regardless whether any damages were caused by Lovejoy’s negligence or by any defect in the Products or Services. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lovejoy will not be liable for, and Buyer shall not assert, any of the following, whether or not due to Lovejoy’s negligence or due to a defect in the Products or Services, and regardless whether the basis is product warranty, delayed or incomplete delivery, negligence or any other cause: (a) consequential, incidental, indirect, special and punitive damages; (b) the cost of removing and reinstalling Products or Service Items, sending Products or Service Items to Lovejoy for warranty inspection, and any other work performed on the Products or Service Items; (c) damage to or the cost of making adjustments or repairs to any mechanism, equipment or machinery in which the Products, Service Items or other items that were the subject of Services were installed; (d) loss of profits or revenue, loss of use, line shut-down, cost of capital, and cost of substituted product, facilities or services; and (e) claims of Buyer’s customers or other third parties for damages or penalties, whether or not Buyer is legally obligated to pay them. This disclaimer and exclusion will apply even if the exclusive remedy described in Section 2.1 fails its essential purpose.

2.3 An action by Buyer to enforce a warranty claim, whether by court action, arbitration or other proceeding, will be barred unless commenced within one year following Lovejoy’s notification to the customer of Lovejoy’s determination (for example, on the validity of the warranty claim or the availability or scope of the remedy) upon which Buyer’s claim is based.
