2. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. We extend written warranties on our Products to the original purchasers of our Products in accordance with the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth on the applicable product warranties published from time to time on our Web Site address at www.Flamecheck.com. Fulfillment of our warranty obligations to the residential and commercial purchasers identified in our written warranties (or their permissible transferees) is our sole warranty obligation for our Products, except as expressly stated in the following sentence. We warrant to you that our Products will conform to our published specifications as amended from time to time (“Product Specifications”) at the time of delivery, subject to the following qualification on Ratings performance. Our Products are manufactured to meet or exceed the industry standards. Many of our products are performance tested according to published voluntary industry standard/specifications (e.g. NFPA 701 on Cotton/Polyester blend for M-111; ASTM E-84 mixed with Behr Bright White Flat Interior acrylic/latex paint, painted on cement board for M-111PA) and have associated performance levels or ratings (e.g. thermal, etc.) (“Ratings”) expressly stated in our Product Specifications. The Ratings on our Products are for comparison purposes only. Performance data and Ratings in our Product Specifications are a guide for the user in determining suitability and do not constitute a warranty. Selection of Flamecheck Products to conform to all applicable laws, ordinances, and building, safety and energy codes, standards and requirements and local weather conditions for any particular project (“Project Specifications”) is your sole responsibility. By way of example, you are responsible for specifying products that conform to California Wildland-Urban Interface Building Standards if installation will occur in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone where such products are required. See http://www.fire.ca.gov/wildland.php. All Project Specifications must be in writing. You acknowledge that you alone have determined that the products you order will suitably meet the requirements of your intended use and applicable Project Specifications.

3. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. You must inspect our Products prior to installation for any failure to conform to the Product Specifications and promptly notify us of any such nonconformance. Your failure to discover and report any nonconformity prior to installation of the Products will constitute a full and complete waiver of any claim by you for nonconformance. We may require a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Product and confirm the nonconformity. Your sole and exclusive remedy against us for nonconforming Product will be limited, at our option, to our repair or replacement of any nonconforming Product for which you make a claim or our issuance to you of credit for the nonconforming Product in accordance with any instructions we have given you for the return of the Product or otherwise. In no event will we be responsible for labor or cost of labor for removal or installation of any Product. This exclusive remedy will not be deemed to have failed of its essential purpose so long as we are willing and able to repair or replace the nonconforming Product, and in any event, our liability for any damages due you will be limited to the purchase price of the nonconforming Products. This paragraph states your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of warranty.
4. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIONS AND LIABILITY. The period within which you must bring any and all claims arising under these Terms will expire one year from the date the claim accrues. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS DAMAGE OR INJURY RESULTING FROM DELAY IN DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS OR ANY FAILURE TO PERFORM DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
