2 Warranty

WARRANTY PRICE:

The price to be paid by the county shall be that contained in seller’s bid which seller warrants to be no higher than

the seller’s current prices on orders by others for products of the kind and specification covered by this agreement

for similar quantities under similar or like conditions and methods of purchase. In the event the seller breaches the

warranty the prices of the items shall be reduced to the seller’s current prices on orders by others, or in the

alternative, the county may cancel this contract without liability to the seller for breach or the seller’s actual

expense.

The seller warrants that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this

contract upon an agreement or understanding for commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee excepting

bona fide employees of bona fide established commercial or selling agencies maintained by the seller for the

purpose of securing business. For breach or violation of this warranty, the county shall have the right in addition to

any other right or rights to cancel this contract without liability and to deduct from the contract price, or otherwise

recover the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.

WARRANTY PRODUCTS:

The seller shall not limit or exclude any implied warranties and any attempt to do so shall render this contract

voidable at the option of the county. The seller warrants that the goods furnished will conform to the specifications,

drawings and descriptions listed in the bid invitation and to the sample(s) furnished by the seller, if any. If the event

of a conflict between the specifications, drawings and descriptions, the specifications shall govern.

SAFETY WARRANTY:

The seller warrants that the product sold to the county shall conform to the standards promulgated by the U.S.

Department of Labor under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970. In the event the product does

not conform to OSHA standards, the county may return the product for correction or replacement at the seller’s

expense. In the event the seller fails to make the appropriate correction within a reasonable time, correction made

by the county will be at the seller’s expense.

NO WARRANTY AGAINST COUNTY INFRINGEMENTS:

As part of this contract for sale the seller agrees to ascertain whether goods manufactured in accordance with the

specifications attached to this agreement will give rise to the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement

or the like. The county makes no warranty that the production of goods according to the specifications will not give

rise to such a claim, and in no event shall the county be liable to the seller for indemnification in the event that the

seller is sued on the grounds of infringement or the like. If the seller is of the opinion that an infringement or the like

will result, he will notify the county to this effect in writing within two weeks after the signing of this agreement. If the

county does not receive notice and is subsequently held liable for the infringement or the like, the seller will save

the county harmless. If the seller in good faith ascertains that production of the goods in accordance with the

specifications will result in infringement or the like, this contract shall be null and void except that the county will pay

the seller the reasonable cost of search as to infringements.

I understand and agree.
