1. Warranty and Limitation of Liability
1.1 Limited Warranty. Products- ANDE warrants that all Instruments purchased hereunder will, for a period of one (1) year after delivery (as set forth in Section 7.3), meet ANDE's specifications, as set forth on our website (as amended from time to time) at the time of delivery, provided that such Instruments are stored, handled and used in accordance with the Agreement and any and all instructions, including without limitation training, provided by ANDE in connection with such Instruments and as determined by ANDE in its sole and absolute discretion. For absence of doubt, if you are a Reseller, the Warranty granted hereunder (including its Term) is granted solely to you. Extended warranty protection may be purchased at your expense for transfer to End Users. If you, as Reseller sell an Instrument to an End User within thirty (30) days after its delivery to you (as set forth in Section 7.3), ANDE shall extend the Term of the Warranty to the End User for thirty (30) days. Products other than Instruments (and including Chips and Consumables and Software) purchased or licensed hereunder will, for a period of ninety (90) days after delivery, or through the expiry date printed on the product, whichever is later, meet ANDE's specifications, as set forth on our website (as amended from time to time) at the time of delivery, provided that such Products are stored, handled and used in accordance with the Agreement and any and all instructions, including without limitation training, provided by ANDE in connection with such Products and as determined by ANDE in its sole and absolute discretion. Information about Chip performance is set forth on our website. In the event of failed results due to a chip fault, as determined by ANDE from review and run, system, and/or telemetry data, ANDE may replace the Chip in the normal course of Order processing. ANDE is not responsible for Chip failures due in whole or in part to your sample collection or handling, sample quality, sample contamination, improper use of the instrument, or sample or Product or Chip transport, storage or other environmental condition. Any warranty claim for an Instrument or a Product must be made in writing within (30) days after the end of the warranty period. You may be required to assist in diagnosing any problem with a Product, (which may include, without limitation, providing remote access, data, photographs, or telephone access to users familiar with the problem, or combinations thereof), and failure to cooperate in the diagnosis of the problem may void the warranty. ANDE shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the problem is covered under warranty. If ANDE determines the problem is not covered by warranty, it reserves the right to charge you in advance for any necessary service. ANDE's sole obligation, and your exclusive remedy, for a breach of warranty shall be repair or replacement (in ANDE's sole discretion) of the Instrument or Product (as applicable). Comparable new or reconditioned parts may be used for such repair or replacement.
Software - ANDE warrants for a period of three (3) months from delivery that all Software substantially conforms to its published specifications and that the media on which the Software resides will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, and any claim shall be submitted in writing within that period. ANDE does not warrant that the Software is error free or that you will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. ANDE's sole liability and your exclusive remedy in the event of breach of this warranty is limited to repair, replacement or refund, at the sole option of ANDE. Where the Product is intended to be used with a particular licensed computer program supplied by ANDE the use of any other program will result in ANDE's warranty on the Product being void.
Services - ANDE warrants that all Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner by individuals with suitable skills and abilities, as determined by ANDE in its sole discretion. Services will be deemed accepted when performed. Any warranty claim for Service must be made in writing upon completion of service but no later than 10 days after performance or re-performance of the non-conforming Service. You may be required to assist in diagnosing any problem with a Service, (which may include, without limitation, providing remote access, data, photographs or telephone access to users familiar with the problem, or combinations thereof), and failure to cooperate with the diagnosis of the problem may void the warranty. ANDE shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the problem is a non-warranty service subject to the terms of your existing Service Agreement, or a problem covered under warranty. If ANDE determines the problem is not covered by warranty or your existing Services agreement, ANDE reserves the right to charge you in advance for any necessary service. The term of the Services warranty under this Section shall be tolled for the number of days necessary to complete re-performance of the nonconforming Service. ANDE's sole obligation and your exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty in this Section shall be re-performance of the nonconforming Service.
